No tax on tips

Posted on: August 14, 2024, 3:34 pm

The no tax on tips plan is great 👍 but it should not be at the forefront of discussion. I haven’t heard much about more pressing issues like healthcare costs, or expanding social services like Medicaid and food stamps to help those in need more than ever.

Last time I checked the lowest priced health insurance plan I could find for myself would cost $1400/month with a $14,000 deductible.

Enough with novelty. Tackle the issues at the heart ♥️ and everything else will fall in line.

Comment section dilemma

Posted on: August 14, 2024, 2:23 am

As I’m developing the code for this site I’m conflicted 😐 about a comment section.

One reason being I doubt it would be used very much and two because of abuse by spam bots. Working in the hosting industry means I already spend a large portion of time dealing with abuse issues and I don’t to want to bring all that over here. So at least for now I don’t plan to implement comments.

However, if you want to interact I prefer X (Twitter) so feel free to share the post links there and tag me (@papibdubs).

Cheaters in Warzone

Posted on: August 14, 2024, 12:20 am

So many cheaters in Warzone. It reminds me of playing Unreal Tournament in the early 2000s and moving on to other games because the cheating got so bad. Bootcamp is the only mode that keeps me playing COD right now. It's chill and reminds me of Warzone after a mass ban of cheaters.

War with Iran - the real reason Biden dropped out

Posted on: August 13, 2024, 5:25 pm

I’m seeing a lot of rambling about war with Iran (🇮🇷) and this has got me pondering 🤔 that the real reason Biden dropped out could be to start an unpopular war with Iran but still leave a chance to get his party re-elected by putting Kamala in his place. Now we just wait for the war with Iran to start. 🤦‍♂️

My first post!

Hey, I'm Brian, welcome to BRINet!

I wanted to create my own simple website to post my random thoughts, but before I did, I wanted to develop my own CMS platform to manage my content. WordPress and other content platforms are just so bloated and slow out of the box that I wanted something different, I prefer the KISS method (Keep It Simple, Stupid).

Here we are with my first post on my own CMS. Still some features and additions I'd like to make, but we're off to a great start, I'm pleased.
