Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I quit paying taxes when trump was elected. No representation? Cool. You’re not getting a fucking dime from me.
I don't mean to be that guy, but have u not bought any fuel or groceries? It's REALLY hard to not pay taxes! Or have u just stopped paying income tax?
Also not paying taxes is incredibly dumb. You don't want to mess with the IRS (or for other countries, the appropriate agency). Even the Joker doesn't mess with the IRS.
They can come get me if they feel they need to. But I won’t pay a dime to support treason.
~~However, the IRS has backed off of Scientology because they scared the IRS.~~
Edit: Upon further investigation, there was a lot of back and forth that led to them getting tax exempt status. I think Leah Remini’s show said something, or I had read it somewhere, that the church engaged in some scary shit that got the IRS to go easier on them eventually. I didn’t look hard enough to find any sources, hence my strikeout.
