I don’t want to be here, and I sure as shit don’t want to do that to someone else.. plus I don’t want to take care of some miniature asshole version of myself; I’m bad enough to deal with.

and don't forget to add taxes to that list

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I happily pay taxes.

[–] apotheotic@beehaw.org 4 points 1 week ago

I'd pay even more taxes without a single complaint if they got big businesses and the uber rich to actually pay their taxes correctly and fully
