I failed. :(

For some reason I thought that my instance isn’t making a copy of everything from other servers. I’m probably wrong, but I thought that pictures and things like that aren’t hosted locally and are only called when the front-end asks for it from other servers right?

Thank you. I didn’t know I needed the answer to this question until now.

I’m deathly afraid of the second part of that, I don’t want to deal with the wrong thing being posted by someone else on my server. :(

my goodness, I’ve been doing it wrong this whole time.

This is so wrong. lol

but the pointer-pointer isn’t pointing at the pointer…

I ran into an issue similar to this while hosting my server. Turns out there is a ”feature“ (seems bugged) on my ASUS router called “DDOS Protection” that mistook inbound lemmy traffic as attacks and just dropped them instead of forwarding them. Once that was disabled everything worked like normal. Maybe be worth trying.

Be ready to use other methods to deal with DDOS though.

Love you too man!

Exactly my thoughts.

Someone tell me how to feel! Do I hate this or like this!?

edit: I have been told to like this, and thus… I do.

i don’t see how they can be misleading. the average person understands the difference between rates/percentages and resulting totals.

are you suggesting that the wealthy get audited at such an increased rate so that their total number of audits are the same as normal people? that would require almost 100% of all returns to be audited which is ridiculous.

i’m ok with being wrong and learning, but none what what you suggest is fair or makes any sense

You are dying on an an hill made of data manipulated by new outlets that profit off of your attention. Below is an image from a 2019 GAO report that displays the audit rates with more granularity.

Even your own sources (https://trac.syr.edu/reports/706/ referenced in your Fox Article) with 2022 still show that income greater than 1M is audited at 2.38% vs income <$25K with EITC is at 1.27%. You just keep beating up your own argument.

My statistics do support my statement that the IRS audit rates for the rich are higher than normal people, and in fact higher than the poorest. His statement is, again, incorrect, misleading, and intended to incite anger.

How is it misleading? It’s an incredibly simple statement that the rich are audited at a higher rate than the average person isn’t it? I didn’t say that more wealthy are audited than the common folk because it seems common sense that due to large disparity in population (common vs wealthy), that of course there are more common people audited than wealthy. I’m simply pointing out that this guys statement is incorrect, misleading, and intended to incite anger.

“the IRS has not enough staff to investigatevif rich people pay their fair share, therefore they go mostly for normal people.”

my understanding is that the focus of the IRS should be on those that try to subvert paying their taxes, it seems that they believe there is an increased amount of those people in the wealthy category.

but it doesn’t make sense that they should ignore people trying to subvert taxes in the normal brackets does it? all that does is harm everyone else paying their fair share.

I did not know advertised jackpots were annuitized. Thanks!

Just wanted to point out that the audit rates for the rich are higher than normal people.

[Jay McTigue:] Well, as I said, higher-income taxpayers are indeed being audited at a higher rate than lower-income taxpayers. In fact, the highest-income taxpayers, those making $5 million or more a year, right now are being audited at about 2.3%. Whereas on average the audit rate is less than 1% So there is still a focus on the higher-earning individuals.

and yet you send a parting ‘forth’. have a good day sir.

i believe the cause for the rift in american politics is that both sides (i mean both) consistently forget that we are all people that generally want to do the right thing. the source of discourse is differing ideas on the best way to achieve that right thing.

when those differing ideas are misconstrued as due to people being ‘evil’ is both incorrect and in bad faith.

it’s disheartening to watch people wish misfortune and misery on those that think differently than themselves, that’s what i’m trying to express.

edit: typo

it seems pointing out destructive discourse is considered “troll” behavior now. i have learned another thing today, thank you.
