Guys this is direly important. Do not let them privatize your tax filings. The companies that own the other programs are just stealing money from you to do what you can already do for free. Survey takes less than 2 minutes to do and can possibly help keep the tax filing program free. Fuck TurboTax.

the bare minimum anyone who considers themselves an ally can do is scream about this shit as loudly as possible, as often as possible. ideally to your reps, but also anyone who thinks denying a human being basic rights and existence is acceptable

Yes! It's easy to learn but super fun! It requires you to plan ahead and think backwards as you build your dungeon from end to beginning to kill heroes before they get to you, the boss monster!

the problem with finding intelligent/clever people attractive is that you put yourself into situations where you get constantly outwitted and outsmarted. and then your brain has the audacity to go 'that was hot'

This time you're the villain, building dungeons to kill heroes before they reach you in your inner sanctum. Build the deadlier dungeon, or else the hero kills you instead!

Something about playing as Amelia Earhart, Victor Frankenstein, and H.P. Lovecraft reminds me of the team up in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
