What the fuck are you talking about

[-] Gormadt 18 points 1 week ago

I think they think that by having a passport you can go work in another country and skip out on taxes?

I don't know where they got that idea but it's hella wrong.

[-] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

I've been doing it for 15 years, I'm definitely correct.

which part are you confused about?

[-] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

I tried to make my answers very simple and concise.

which part don't you understand?

[-] TheOctonaut@mander.xyz 15 points 1 week ago

These are your assertions:

Americans with a passport are guaranteed a high paying job
Anericans with a passport don't have to pay US income tax
Americans with a passport also don't have to pay foreign income tax
Americans with a passport can move 'instantly' (even with some leeway for figurative language) to somewhere with 50-90% lower cost of living.

Are you an illegal border-running English as a Second Language teacher in Cambodia by any chance?

[-] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

no, those are not my assertions.

it seems that rather than ask clarifying questions, you've extrapolated false conclusions from a base of assumptive ignorance.

not very helpful.

I hate to break it to you then, you are terrible at communicating what your actual assertions are. Because you made those assertions simple and concise. Whatever you imagined you were saying, you didn't. Hence: what the fuck are you talking about?

[-] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

Sport, I wasn't putting forth assertions.

I'm spitting facts, you made assumptions based on those facts rather than asking for clarification on the parts you didn't understand or are ignorant about.

now you're pretending that your conclusions based on your assumptions are somehow my assertions.

That's your problem.

If you want to just throw a tantrum, continue.

If you want clarification, ask for clarification.

I'm starting to think you mostly don't know what "assertion" means, which is the sort of literacy I expect from the illegal border-running English teachers I met in Cambodia.

I am asking you for clarification, and have done twice now. What the fuck are you talking about? Even the guy from Florida who asserted he wouldn't sleep with any prostitute over 45kg because they were "basically a man" would understand that question.

"I'm starting to think..."

oh good, drawing incorrect conclusions from false assumptions has worked so well for you so far.

"I am asking you for clarification, and have done twice now"

no you haven't.

If we incorrectly pretend ""What the fuck are you talking about?" is a clarifying question, then I have given you a clarifying answer as many times as you have asked it.

you don't have to be so nervous. If you ask a real question, you will get a real answer.
