Yeah, the travesty of women's pockets is a viable reason.

I’m a woman, we don’t have side pockets. I also hate carrying a bag.

Reply to comment by aKnightWh0SaysNi in LPT: When debating or arguing with someone and it’s going nowhere, ask them, “What evidence would it take for you to consider that you’re wrong?” If they say “Nothing,” then it’s time to end the conversation. by blowfishmo
Honestly, examples of someone continuing the conversation even though they think it’s a futile one, and the other person coming around or being willing to consider other possibilities other than their own perspective. But I think that that’s so incredibly rare, it is almost always better to calmly and kindly move on from the conversation, rather than beating your head against a brick wall, so to speak.

I think the process you described is a great way to handle these sorts of conversations, learn, and grow as a person. But what I’m suggesting is that if you were to ask someone this question, and they responded that they’re not going to consider that they’re wrong no matter what, then it’s obvious that individual isn’t willing to undergo the process you described. And as a result, it would be a lot of time and energy spent on something that, in the end, may not be benefitting anyone (with some exceptions).

Reply to comment by IsThatFuckedUp in LPT Request: how can I avoid capital gains tax (20%) on land sold (<$500,000)? by ScrollinMyLifeAway
We are morally obligated to pay taxes that we legally owe. I happily pay my taxes because I believe that many services & needs are better fulfilled by the Public. However -- Paying MORE than you owe makes zero sense.

Or, just because you think something doesn’t mean it’s true.

Wiztree portable, just perfect. If you use WinDirStat, give Wiztree a try. Sooooo much faster.

Here's the real LPT: Don't get a pet if you're going to whine about a creature with fur shedding said fur. That's like moving to the desert and complaining it doesn't rain. Serious detachment from reality going on. Also, pets are not accessories or decorations. They're sentient beings.

Legal and moral are not the same thing. Stop making excuses and pay your taxes. Or don’t call the police, fire department etc next time you have an emergency since you don’t want to contribute.

The thoughts often come from deeply held beliefs.

I always thought that one was for people getting a vasectomy but I can see it that way too. But it did give me another question idea.
