My bad, honestly I just put that 3.5m number as a lower bound, as if it’s any higher, then the relative percentage is even lower.

Plus the sale price doesn’t necessarily indicate profit, which is typically what’s referenced for capital gains tax

Very true, and it is nasty though ostensibly not the angle the original linked post was going for (from what I could tell)

CW dysphoria around imagined body hair

Had a dream the other night that I woke up and looked in the mirror only to see a patch of weirdly long hair on one cheekbone and a chest so thick with hair I couldn’t see the skin underneath. First thought was “what the fuck now I have to deal with this shit too??” It was not very pleasant -:-

I don’t understand how this post isn’t supposed to be political, or at least make reference to it/invite discussions of it. What are we all upset about, forming an army and going out there to “sort out”? Why are things bad to the point where, were this a movie, the superheroes arrive?

Because to me (and several others) the answer is clearly politics, the current political trends and movements.

We’re not angry for no reason, but in fact for a series of very valid political reasons. I won’t get into the specifics since it’s against the rules, but I don’t think it’s very fair to make a post gesturing at the state of the world, in a way that says we should get involved, and then telling people they can’t discuss what we’d actually do because the solutions are political. To insist otherwise feels to me like we’d be protesting just to protest with no actual goals.
