IRS been hounding me over some late payment for a year and charging interest. I finally pay a few weeks ago. Get certified mail today trying to scare me that I still owe - pay now or else we seize property. Call to dispute, please hold for 30-60 minutes...

They are going to ignore the dispute and seize your property because you have tried to undermine Big Wordle

The best part is letter says interest accrues daily, but the site doesn't show me what I owe. Letters take longer than a day to arrive... πŸ€”

The whole thing over 800 bucks. They have a shit site, shit instructions, shit call center, ... I could go in but preaching to choir

Do they have a nearby office you can show up at with a box of pennies?

I'd like to do something like that, but don't wanna draw their ire. Maybe when I'm really old I'll seek revenge

Also, is it me or is nostr quiet past two days more than normal? I've been less active too, it's like collective exhaustion or something

I think other social media is giving nostr users a little more engagement & a little more engaging content to pull them back while nostr is struggling to compete right now

Nevertheless we persist

I can honestly say I genuinely don't enjoy twitter at all anymore. I check it for news for a few minutes and see a few familiar accounts posting and just feel sad for them lol

I haven't enjoyed that thing since a month or two ago when my favorite poster blocked me because I kept messaging her saying "I hope you have a good day" and then one day I added "I hope today you have a chance to kill a Zionist and get away with it"

Everyone I love ends up hating me πŸ₯²

I can resolve 30% of your issues with one tip. Don't use the word "kill" with strangers, or people who you haven't built a rapport with πŸ˜…

Or maybe you had a rapport, I don't know how big an account you were replying to

Problem is my isolation makes my brain pretty locked on to how everyone wants to kill other people and we all keep doing all this killing

The words can change but the thoughts of an isolated person are used as reason for further isolation no matter what words are used

Dinner is ready, stuffed peppers and rice. Gotta be polite and stop typing on my phone for a bit.

Good chattin', been a minute.

Sounds good, enjoy πŸ€™

Tastes better than it looks lol

Looks pretty good though πŸ«‘

My favorite part is they state interest accrues daily, but their site doesn't give you an amount, you have to type it in. Only number I have is printed on a many-day-old letter πŸ€”

Lmao they want you to snitch on yourself.

Write 0$

>Profit πŸ˜‚

I honestly don't know. I mean, it's technically solvable, but they can't possibly expect people to bust out a calculator and compute daily interest for them. Only solution would be to slightly overpay and hope to someday get a return check for a couple dollars probably.

Meh, it's dumb, and someday...not today, and not soon, but someday, I will have my revenge

If you call to ask do they give you the info or do they just refer you to the website?

They put you on hold for "30-60" minutes. Haven't made it past that yet lol.

It's all over 800 bucks too. Of which I probably still owe 2 dollars of interest or something, but somehow they don't see I paid 800 3 weeks ago πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

It's whatever, I'll find a good time to sit on phone later, then take out my anger with passive aggressive interactions on phone. That'll teach them

What a shitty system

A lot of their staff quit or got early retirement over the past few months because of DOGE, so if you’re expecting better efficiency from that department, LOL.

This is hilarious πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Good news though! Going through paperwork and found a little gold mine of a pension from an old job. Looks like it's been performing quite nicely too. Yoink! That's getting withdrawn and moved into corn.

Great success! πŸš€

Another thing I recommend everyone do is see if your state is holding money for you that you might not be aware of. They are legally required to set aside any unclaimed funds from insurance plans, brokerages, or other financially regulated companies, but they don’t generally send out notices. You have to search their database for your name. I’ve gotten back a pretty good chunk of change this way a few times.

Funny you should mention. Got such a notice about a month ago. Amount not specified, and action by June or it goes to some other silo. Only action option was to email someone. It's been a month and no reply. Prob like 100 bucks, but now I'm motivated to follow up. Thanks for reminder!

What if you have no property?

They're welcome to it, if they can guess my secret number 🀭
