				Thoughts on the LessWrong "don't pay taxes" post?
			
		

	

	

	

		
			

			

				

			

		

			


				

					
While I'm not a tax expert, if you owe taxes, the IRS may seize and sell your assets to cover the debt. There's a risk that the assets might be sold for less than their market value, potentially increasing your effective debt. Additionally, a forced sale could trigger further tax obligations, and there is no guarantee that the IRS will sell the seized assets in a manner that minimizes tax liability.

Don't forget Haiti. The French revolutionary government, remarkably, decided to end slavery in Haiti. Napoleon tried to bring it back, causing a horrific Haitian race war that may have made US Southerners more resistant to ending slavery and more willing to fight a civil war to keep it.

It didn't mean it as a Lol, as I think I would try it in your situation. Lots and lots of people get plastic surgery which seems far more "drastic" than wearing a mask that people couldn't tell was a mask.

You could consider using a hyper realistic silicone mask. You could try Adapaline Retinoids. See this.

This is fantastic. My previous view was that Hamas launched the attack out of pure evil or stupidity, but after reading this I think they have a real chance of permanently crippling Israel. There is an equilibrium where if most of Israel's neighbors turn against Israel, Israel doesn't have a chance and then, I suspect, the Jewish population of Israel moves to the US, Canada, and/or Australia.

				Advice for disagreeable people
			
		

	

	

	

		
			

			

				

			

		

			


				

					
I'm very disagreeable. Rationality can be your friend as it is a force for you to be truthful not disagreeable. Try and find true nice things to say to the people around you, take it up as a challenge. Sincerely thank people who help you, even if the help is small.

Might Turkey join the fight against Israel? Former US Colonel Douglas Macgregor thinks they might. Obviously this would be horrible for Israel, the US, and NATO. Does anyone understand what is happening in Turkey well enough to know if this is a possibility?

If Israel gave notice and said "Everyone out of northern Gaza because we are going to destroy it in two days" and Biden didn't object I think Israel would be fine. Because of scope insensitivity people are about as bothered by 100 birds being killed as by 100,000 of them dying. I think something similar is true with how the world feels about Palestinians. (As I expect AI to soon be able to uncover all of our identities matching what we write here to text under our own names, please note I'm not claiming that any of this is a good thing.)
