the 2020 RADIO CITY ROCKETTES CHRISTMAS SHOW. enjoy -- (link) - Peglegpete Dec 29, 22:58 [youtube] 3

Binging the Baking Show and they’re doing 80’s week. The showstopper is ice cream cake because, according to Prue, ice cream cake was all the rage in 80’s. “People had it for birthdays”. -- nm* - Mop Dec 29, 22:25 4
- Cookie Puss -- (link) - Max Dec 30, 01:02
- I mean, if I wasn’t in bed right now, I may be eating ice cream cake. Even then... -- nm - Mop Dec 29, 22:35

Mitch plays his hand. Combines $2000 checks with repeal of section 230 and a voter fraud commission. -- (link) - Mop Dec 29, 21:15 5
- If the checks are already printing, I don't understand why this isn't a dead issue. -- nm - David Dec 29, 21:35 2
  - They will just cut another check or send out a second direct deposit to anyone that receives the $600 -- nm - Krusty - Diamond Dog Dec 29, 21:43 1
    - It’d be a lot more entertaining if everyone had to return the $600 checks first. -- nm - Mop Dec 29, 21:49
- Okay, so ... okay, so ... okay, so why are they so hell bent on this section 230 thing? Do they want to destroy America's tech industry? -- nm - Beryllium Dec 29, 21:20 1
  - Because Trump's personally offended by it. -- nm - Ender Dec 29, 21:30

In 24 years living in NYC, records from the ⁦@BOENYC suggest, ⁦@AndrewYang has never once voted in a mayoral election (primary or general) -- (link) - ty97 Dec 29, 20:18 5
- I wasn't likely going to support him anyway but if this is true there's no way I could vote for him. - Krusty - Diamond Dog Dec 29, 20:34 1
  - Does it make sense to tax people on their epiphanies though? Most people don't vote in their local elections - Max Dec 29, 21:10
- Okay, that is weird. If I lived there, I'd be quite opinionated on the mayor. -- nm - crash davis Dec 29, 20:22 2
  - I feel like you already are ;) -- (edited) - ty97 Dec 29, 20:25 1
    - I have opinions on Rudy. I sort of like what Bloomberg has done post-mayorally. DeBlasio? I rely on you guys to tell me how he is doing - crash davis Dec 29, 20:28
Before I actually go read the text of the bill, does anyone know if the $600 payment applies to the 2020 or 2021 tax year? - znufrii Dec 29, 20:02 13
- Fine, I looked it up in the bill. It's an additional credit for the 2020 tax year. -- (edited) - znufrii Dec 29, 20:53
- Amount of payout will be based on 2019 adjusted gross income. The spring payments were calculated using 2018 AGI. (unless the person had already filed - zunkskunk+ Dec 29, 20:18 4
  - So I should get the full amount this time. -- nm - Meg Dec 29, 22:02
  - Not as concerned about the amount of the payment as I am curious about which tax year's credit it is an advance payment of. -- (edited) - znufrii Dec 29, 20:29 2
    - Not sure about this one. The spring payment was credit for 2020 taxes. I copied this response to a question from the..wait for it... - zunkskunk+ Dec 29, 20:35 1
      - Oh god. So many issues with that article, even apart from the horribly-formatted automated reposting of another site's content. -- (edited) - znufrii Dec 29, 20:42
- Wait, is it taxable? -- nm - ty97 Dec 29, 20:11 5
  - no, everybody's total tax burden is $750 just like the President -- nm - crash davis Dec 29, 20:13 2
    - That can't be true - ty97 Dec 29, 20:17 1
      - it would be nice if it were (and even then Fidelity wouldn't tell you) -- nm - crash davis Dec 29, 20:18
  - Not that I'm aware of. Assuming it's the same as last time, it's in the form of an advance payment on a tax credit. -- (edited) - znufrii Dec 29, 20:12 1
    - oh right -- nm - ty97 Dec 29, 20:13
- I'd ask spamlet. He reads that sh!# for fun. -- nm - crash davis Dec 29, 20:10
I have a CD maturing tomorrow and I hate to roll it over at today's rates but it's part of my emergency fund so I guess I have to 😣 -- nm - Meg Dec 29, 19:54 7

Even Group B seems blowouty this year, even with those 4 in the same pool. -- nm - Reagen Dec 29, 19:28 3
- Okay, I finally bit and pulled it up. I see the US just got barely past the Czech Republic tonight -- nm - crash davis Dec 29, 19:45 2
  - I didn't know we gave Russia a gift on Dec 25th. Seems only right, things are going to change next year. -- nm - crash davis Dec 29, 19:51 1
    - Group B is stupid. Austria shouldn’t have showed up. Canada’s got a cake walk in Group A. There’s got to be a better way of doing this. -- nm - Mop Dec 29, 21:18
I think everyone needs to stop putting so much pressure on 2021 to not suck. After all consider this: starting New Year's Day millennials... - Cuzzin Tauld Lang Syne Dec 29, 19:28 16

    - I will because, see, no arthritis! -- nm - ty97 Dec 29, 20:05 3
      - But you pulled a muscle doing it didn't you? - Cuzzin Tauld Lang Syne Dec 29, 20:10 2
        
        I'm not an old like you! - ty97 Dec 29, 20:10 1
        
        That's not a denial. -- nm - Cuzzin Tauld Lang Syne Dec 29, 20:15

- are you going to move your account as a 2021 present to yourself? -- nm - crash davis Dec 29, 19:28 5
  - My 401k is there and I can't change that. - ty97 Dec 29, 19:31 4
    - And they know it. -- nm - ♤Spawn♤ Dec 29, 20:09
    - I have an old small account with Fidelity that I'm thinking of moving this year. I think it's time to consolidate. -- nm - Meg Dec 29, 19:35
