Hey what's up man? I'm @dandays - The Luckiest Guy I Know. Nice to be met. Vermont is one of the few (maybe 10 total) states I haven't been to. Am i missing anything?
Keep releasing articles like this 10,000 hours and you'll be commissioned in no time.
Dude.. IRS. I promise I can make you feel better. They jumped in my pocket in '06 by mistake—true fucking story! Been in my pocket ever since. I couldn't leave the country until I squared away my 6 figure debt. And they're still in my pocket. 15 years dude. I get the same audit letter with the same Ogden, Utah return address.
Negative. No blockchainers. About three months ago, my buddy started #posh'ing my content for me. I'm using his account to promote this Hive content. That's where they found me.
Holy shit. Yeah you one-upped me on the IRS front. They decided something was wrong with my 2019 tax returns that I filed in March 2020, which meant I didn't receive either my returns nor any of the following 3 stimulus checks, nor any of the other support the rest of the country received during the pandemic. Minuscule compared to your situation, but for a working class 27 year old it caused some pretty huge complications; especially when literally the entire country(utility companies, landlords, etc) is operating on the assumption that all working class citizens received those. But yup! You did make me feel better.
I still don't quite understand what poshing is. I guess I should figure it out at some point. It seems to be rather beneficial.
Hmmmmm Vermont. I don't really know how to answer that. It is beautiful. We have really good cheese, and beer. I guess food in general. Any other positive aspects I can think of are strictly the things I've found personally; and not exactly the things you advertise. I've stayed here due to the communities I've found; which are all outcast communities you find in any part of the world. There's a decent punk music scene. And art scene. Everything's too expensive. The people are weird. There's a lot of fake progressiveness. The economic divide is invisible to visitors but terrifying to us on the lower side of things. I don't know. It's weird. If you are an outdoors-y type person; it's great to visit. Probably a longer answer than you expected eh? Hhaha it's been awhile since someone's asked me about Vermont.
Nice to meet you Dandays. I thought I was already following you yet I found that to be false. I must have you confused. Either way, I am now! And I wish you a sincere congratulations on the commission!
Too long? Wha'chew talkin bout Willis?!
Does it snow there? I'm a mountain bike addict, that's not an exaggeration. I'm always out there riding and filming. In fact, I just finished editing my last ride yesterday, I'll probably put it up after the weekend. You ride mountain bikes? How close are you to the coast? Is the coast real touristy?
Nah that sucks for sure you ain't getting any Monopoly money. Hopefully it gets straightened out. Least it's only a few years ago. Wanna hear some fucked up shit?
I swear it was a fuckin hook! 2006, went through my mail, one was a letter to me from the Feds... 'hmm.. never talked to these guys before??' I opened it. I never shoulda fucking opened it!! They said I owed them money from when I worked in Texas. I'm not making this up. Thing is, I engineered tower cranes for 22 years so I've been around this country but I've never worked in Texas. Been there, stayed there, never worked there.
So I called'em. Check this out. They pretty much said "you're right, whoops! But since we got you on the phone, prove all your write-off's the last 6 years." And it's been a shit show ever since. I've gone in their office begging to just be left alone. 'We're even. It's settled. I've adjusted my taxes, why are you still fucking with me?!?!?!?!?!?' I know exactly why dude flew his sesna into their building in Fresno awhile back.
What was that you were saying about longer answer?
Posh (Proof Of Sharing) is a robot that tracks Hive articles shared on Twitter. I might not be explaining that accurately but I've never done Twitter so all I know is it's something like that. @acidyo would be the guy to ask for specifics. Any opportunity to promote Hive, even if it's my homeboys Twitter account, I'm Gas pedal.
Thanks! I'll try not to disappoint.
okay I just read the last part, yeah @herbertholmes2, you can sign up here: https://poshtoken.fbslo.net/users (requires hivesigner and a tweet) and if you then share your posts (or other people's) with at least a # or $hive tag you can get curated + earn some poshtokens who'll become actual tokens at some point in the near future! (once we figure out a good usecase for them :p)
Oh boy, I have a Twitter, that I literally only use to troll political arguments. I guess maybe I'll have to reformat it hahaha. I'll check it out! I didn't know it was an acidyo project :)
Ya, no ninjamine and most hive stuff that still gets shared but if the users aren't registered gets burned daily so should make for a healthy distribution!
Oh yeah, it snows. That's the other 50% of the reason I live here. I work at a ski resort here(worked I guess, I just quit because fuck em) and live in the rural community that surrounds it. We have a ton of mountain bike trails. A couple of friends just kinda got me into it last year, and I'm starting to get more into it. Before moving out here I lived in a city here, with a high theft rate and was a bit of a nomad at times; so having a bike was a little unrealistic. In fact I did get one once while living there but it was only a couple weeks before someone cut the lock and took it.
Mmmm I'm not sure what the closest coast to Vermont is. I think there's a part of NH that touches it. Other than that it's Maine or Mass, and I don't travel too often so I'm not sure what the coastal scene is like. Once I get myself out of the work grind I hope to do more trips like that. I've traveled plenty- but usually just east to west in a car or bus. Not a lot of time for pure roaming; nor specific trips to know exactly how far the coast is.
I'd imagine the Mass coast is pretty touristy through and through. Not so much Maine.
That's fucked. I hate those fuckin people. It sucks to complain about not getting free money but when you live check to check and the rest of the country gets it to survive when we all get laid off; it becomes real fuckin shitty real fuckin fast.
I mean, I guess open the thing, but the call... man you shoulda hung up. That's fuckin ridiculous. They're really good at what they do. The way they put it to me(after the fun 6 hours wasted over 3 fuckin phone calls trying to get an actual human being on the line) was that there was something wrong with my tax returns. But they had shut down the department that can tell them what exactly is wrong with the returns due to short staffing due to COVID. What kind of horseshit lie is that!? How can they determine something's wrong with a return if they can't even tell what it is?
I'm convinced I just have some sort of "red mark" by our government's view. It's a little paranoid, sure, I'm well aware. But I have been arrested for protesting political things in the past and ever since anything "official" has been hell for me. Who knows.
If you ever fly a Sesna into an IRS building, just let me know first ;) I hope you IRS motherfuckers read that!
Red Mark. I'm well aware of it, I'm flagged. Dude I was single most my life, married now 5 years and have no mortgages or credit cards, even my cars are paid for. Had a car payment once when I was 18, learned that lesson in 6 months. My point is.. I do not fit the norm and they hate me!
We're supposed to have two children write-offs, a mortgage, a white fence, two car payments before we're 21. They hate me!
Vermont. I'd like to applaud my American public schooling for that, I totally frikkin meant Virginia!
Hahhahahahah I was confused by the snow and coastline questions. It's not the worst I've heard. I've been asked what state Vermont was in. I also once met someone who started telling a story to me and threw in a random first name; let's say "Henry". Eventually I asked who Henry was and they said "oh come on, you know Henry, he's from Vermont". No joke 😂
Yup! We're in the same boat. I realized by a young age the government hated me. I guess I made them hate me more, and I'm not sure if I regret any of it haha.
Good luck to you and yours. Lookin forward to read more from you! By the way, whereabouts do you live?
What state is that in!! That's funny.
I'm from Los Angeles, we left Long Beach in 2017 touring this globe. Then this and they kicked us back to the states. Didn't think we'd be here this long—still waiting.
But when we were locked down in UK and my passport was running outta days, we were looking at the map and I like mountain biking. East Tennessee they say is the Mecca of singletracks. So we came to East Tennessee. And dude these tracks are the shit!
But I can't wait to sell this bike and get back in a got dang plane.
Hahhaha I feel you on the international bullshit. My partner is Chilean, so we've been going through our fair share of bullshit trying to figure this shit out during the pandemic. I am actually supposed to be getting married in Chile in a few weeks. They shut down the borders a couple days before my flight. So now I'm stuck in Vermont waiting to find out when I can get on with some fuckin plans hahaha.
I got a buddy who bikes down in TN and he's said how awesome it is. He also builds trails in upstate NY for a couple months a year and says those are pretty fuckin awesome too. Same with my friends in OR. I feel like I know way too much about biking for not actually really doing it 😂
Hopefully y'all can get back on the road soon! I'm waitin too, if that's any consolation
Hey nice to hear you got something else out of posh aside from some curation and some for now useless coins if you've signed up for poshtokens.
Noticed the tag but haven't gotten to that comment yet. Also it's pretty long. ;(
"Guilty!" Dude that was a loO0oong one.
Since I got you, did you ever see that one I put out where I explained my misunderstanding of posh?
lol not sure, I don't have as much time to read lately even if I'm voting them with the ocd accounts, too many posts but thankfully I have curators I trust very much!
Fair enough. Moral of the story, I was wrong. And thanks!
lol what was the TL;DR?
Don't tell anyone I told you this but I just had to search "TL/DR." I'm such a nerd. If I'm not mistaken, it's "a link" and I just scrolled through my whole thing dude.. I don't know where the hell it is!! Funny.
In short. I explained how I've never been to Twitter or the face one or any of them so it looked like a Twitter promotion then. I didn't even know what a "Twitter machine" was but now I do! 👍🏿
Ah lol. :D
