You quoted the rules for withdrawing earnings. Conversions are not earnings.

If you contributed $12000 directly to Roth IRA, you can withdraw $12000 any time.

If you converted $6000 from a 100% nondeductible traditional IRA to Roth IRA, you can withdraw $6000 any time after you have already withdrawn the $12k Roth contributions.

Contributions and conversions are always withdrawn first before earnings are withdrawn.

Refer to Form 8606 lines 22 (for direct contributions) and 24 (for conversions).

You need about 3 times more mining/drilling and processing of oil if we don't get there. Going to EVs is a net reduction in overall mining operations, but it shifts the demand to processing more lithium, copper, some nickel and some rare earth metals for magnets.

I think of crossovers as fun side diversions but they aren’t selling points for me. I know when I was younger they could on rare occasion entice me to get a game I was on the fence about but it doesn’t have the same effect anymore.

ChatGPT has been playing too many video games I suppose lol. I've never played fnaf so I wouldn't know. But yeah I've tried so hard to resurface this piece of history and it never works! The wikipedia mod told me that I need valid sources, but idk how to create valid sources if the valid sources get removed for not having valid sources. It's a never ending cycle dude. Lol.

Software that gives you rapid positive feedback to ideate negative and anxious behavior is going to reinforce the behavior. And being in a state of continual anxiety and pessimism is mental illness.

When you treat mental illness with therapy you do the exact opposite - positive reinforce avoiding negative ideation, and positively reinforce positive ideation.

Have seen people fiddle with depression meds and fail to reach resolution… but what worked was uninstalling Twitter, Insta and Tik Tok. One of my colleagues was borderline suicidal and got off of those repeated negative stimuli and is now very happy and on very limited meds.

The problem is the stuff that is paranoid about social issues and constant doom and gloom as well as social comparisons that make you feel bad. You’d avoid people like that IRL and yet people compulsively seek it online.

As a parent I’m never letting minor kids on those platforms, and I’ll tell any adult I know well to get off.

Digital fentanyl is absurd. But it’s really bad for you, especially if you are lower self esteem or are still maturing as a person (particularly 10-15, but under 30 in general)

Bob got on the bus and sat down with the nun. He liked her very much and began to talk with her, trying to pick up her but she answered him with the words:

  • I'm sorry, I cannot give myself to a man, because I am devoted only to God.
    At the next stop she got off the bus. When depressed Bob got off, the bus driver accosted him saying:
  • Listen, I can tell you something about this nun that will interest you ...
  • Yes, what is it? - replied excited Bob
  • She has such a habit that often at midnight you can find her alone praying and meditating in the cemetery.
    Bob didn't need to be told twice. He put on a white robe, which he painted with reflective paint, glued on a false beard and set off for the cemetery at midnight, it was dark, but he saw the shapes of a kneeling nun
  • It's me God - he said - your prayers have been heard, I have chosen you and I want you to lay with me
  • Oh sir, all right, replied the nun, but please, let's do it anally, because in the convent the Mother Superior performs routine virginity checks!
    The happy guy got to work, and after the fun he tore off his robe and shouted with a smile:
  • hahaha It's me Bob! Seeing this, the nun tore off her robe and shouted with a smile:
  • hahaha, it's me bus driver!

Well, I’m sorry but that’s just your opinion.

I could give you a much longer-winded response about how dubious and unreliable resources about Covid are, and how unreliable the testing and reporting was, and about how the ‘experts’ kept conveniently changing their minds/policies on Covid, and about how profitable the lockdown and the vaccines were, but, I’d rather not waste my time.

You do you, I’ll do me; we’re both finally free to live that way, thank god.

(I can’t believe this guy mocked freedom like that’s a good thing)
