Second video.

Australian OnlyFans creator Tasha Paige has revealed she's been slapped with a whopping $176,000 tax bill.

In a firm reminder that sometimes even bad things can get worse, Ms Paige had revealed in July that she had an $86,000 tax bill.

It's since ballooned to $176,000.

"So that's great. I am just going to go cry. Moment of silence, please, for my bank account," she said after the first bill.

After a second review with her accountant, the creator has found out that she now owes more than double.

Once again Ms Paige took to social media to vent about the mammoth bill and said she would "complain" about it - because she can.

"My tax bill is actually $150,000 for the last 12 months... not including the $26,000 I need to pay on top of that for GST because apparently my body is an object -- that's why I have to pay GST," she said.

Ms Paige said that she was particularly upset by the bill because she didn't feel her industry as a s*x worker is respected enough by the government.

“The fact that that money is going to a government that doesn't even recognise s*x work as real work,” she vented.

Ms Paige also stated that the money she was paying probably wasn't going to anything she actually “supported”.

“If I don't laugh, I'll cry,” she said.

The creator also added that despite her horror, she was prepared for the bill, and she was certain there wasn't an error.

“My accountant has cross-checked everything,” she promised.

Her tax time TikTok has now received more than 60,000 views, but interestingly, people are less sympathetic in the comments and more interested in how much she's earning from the OnlyFans platform to be able to owe that much cash in tax.

“Wait... how much did you make babe? That has to be at least a $300,000 pay packet,” someone declared.

“You're making bank, girl. You're inspirational, honestly,” another raved.

“Wow, man, you must be getting by some good money,” another claimed.

Ms Paige's situation is an extreme example but there are a lot of Aussies facing tax debts this year because of the end of the low-and-middle income tax offset.

It was introduced as a temporary measure in the 2018/19 federal budget, the offset meant those earning between $37,000 and $126,000 were eligible for a tax cut of up $1500.

Alison Banney, money expert at Finder, said the current economic situation meant the reliance on tax returns had never been higher.

"Whether it's to pay back debt, boost their savings, or help with everyday expenses, millions of Australians are relying on a refund," she told news.com.au.

"However, with the removal of the Low and Middle-Income Tax Offset (LMITO) this year, lots of Australians will likely get less money back in their tax return this year compared to the last two years."

Ms Banney also revealed it wasn't a completely bad thing not to get money back at tax time.

“If you get no money back, it just means that you've paid the correct amount of tax throughout the year,” she explained.

“Getting money back means that you've actually paid more tax than you needed to throughout the year. When you think about it, you've essentially lent your money to the ATO, and now they're giving it back to you without paying any interest on the loan.

“Instead, that money could have been put to better use by, for example, keeping it in a high-interest savings account and earning interest on it all year.”

Why are some men like this?

This Friday I went on a date with a guy my friend set me up with. The date was good-ish but I do not see a future here. I do not think I can sit through another date with him talking about crypto. But I also do not want to be rude. After the date he asked me if we could go back to his place. I told him no. He kept insisting that it will be fun. He got mad and asked to pay him back his 25 dollars (the whole meal costed 50). He said if he is not getting s*x tonight then he doesn't want to waste his money. So, it is only fair if I pay my half back. I told him I am not a fricking prostitute that you can buy for 50 dollars. Even they cost more than that. And being the petty person that I am I paid him 30 and told him 5 dollars are the tips.

Later when I arrived home, he messaged on Instagram he said that he wants to advise me that if I do not want to put out then I shouldn't even go on dates and waste a guy's money. That he is a nice guy and that women do not appreciate nice guys. And he told me I will "hit the wall" soon and I will regret rejecting a good guy like him. I obviously blocked him and told my friend to not set me up with clowns like this. This guy is 29, almost 30 and still acts like a child. I thought these clowns existed in memes. Never thought I would encounter one in real life.

Edit: People who are calling me female version of an incel, please stop. I do not hate men. I dislike a certain portion of men who behave like this. Literally said "some" men. I do not think majority of men are like this.

What say you, wise dramneurodivergents? Is it really true that I should look for prostitutes in the >$50 price range? Seems excessive, but this post was widely upmarseyd.

Definitely what the UK needs right now, more single mothers.

She was 38 as well ffs. When will women stop eating up the lie that they can have it all?

State-funded broodmares NOW:

What about single men? Is the expectation that the NHS is responsible for supplying a surrogate?

The same as the men who haven't found a reliable partner can'f get a child of their own. Should NHS provide a surrogate mother for those men?

the NHS doesn't have a supply of women who are willing to put their lives at risk in order to be used as incubators.

It's about funding the nhs should fund it

The vile misogyny and whorephobia that's been piled onto our statement has been absolutely vile, and it's really sad seeing how few comrades have supported it and us https://t.co/juiPL4zKJ5

It is indescribable how worse it feels to live in Germany during such a grim time. I cannot walk outside, hear the language, speak to a German without feeling dehumanized. The grimacing stares from blue eyes haunt me. Eyes complicit in the murder of my people.

We met on a dating app Halloween night 2016. I had just turned 21 and had been in only 1 serious relationship until that point which had lasted 6 months and ended with me being cheated on but thankfully she confessed right away.

I was definitely looking for a partner and talked to a variety of potentials but we just clicked. We talked for about 2 weeks, mostly PG but towards the end it started getting sexual and it was obvious there was attraction. Mid-november was the first time we met. I drove 2 hours to hang out with her while her mom was away and we hooked up.

In the following weeks she let me know she would be moving an 8 hour drive away. We weren't official at this point but I did feel strong emotions towards her so I asker her to be mine the weekend she moved away. I reassured her I would visit her and that it would work out. For the next 2.5 years we went back and forth visiting each other. I even hopped on a plane for the first time in my life to go see her.

We've lived together since Summer 2019 and up until a few days ago were finally going to rent our own spot. Ive never suspected she could be unfaithful because of how she has shown genuine care and support for myself and my family. Weve been together for some of the most memorable events of each others lives(graduations, parents weddings, vacations) even adopted 2 cats a few months ago.

The last 2 weeks have been especially fun since we started going out to places more. For the first time in years I felt good about where I was in life and I was super excited looking forward.

Sunday morning was normal- she got up and went to church while I slept in. I got the call right around noon. She sounded distraught. " I really need to talk to you.. Can you meet me in the car?". I figured maybe she had an argument with our friend she usually goes to church with or some other issue not related to the relationship.

When I went in her car she was already sobbing. "I love you now more than ever" she said. I dont recall how exactly the words went but she began explaining to me how on Halloween night 2018 she went out to an event with 2 of her co-workers, 1 guy and 1 girl. After the event was over GF dropped off the girl because her drop off point was closest. Not sure at what point GF decided to let the guy drive (GF claims she was super tired by now as it was close to 2AM). By the time she realized it they were in a parking lot and she didn't know where they were.

She explains to me how she had never had any ideas about this guy or any attraction at all but he was being really pushy about "getting any action". Thinking about what happened next really messes with my head. He convinces to her to make out (which she claims was disgusting) for idk how long but once she tried to say enough he kept pushing for more. Eventually they hop in the backseat and the dirty deed is done. According to her, she started crying not long after they started and when the guy noticed he stops, grabs her phone and blocks himself from her snapchat. My gf still worked there for a while but she says they had 0 contact afterwards and would avoid him all the time after.

The way I see it, she had so many options but she chose to cheat on me with someone she wasnt even attracted to, out of pity and weakness to stand up for herself. Now, I do believe her when she says it all came down to being pressured and confused. Shes a super nice person, shy and reserved and I could see how she could've been coerced back then.

It still doesnt change the fact that it happened and ive been lied to for the past 5 years. Once it settled in on Sunday night we talked again and it ended with me asking for space away from her which she respected and stayed with her friend the 2 following nights. On Tuesday we talked after work and decided to try to work things through. She moved back in that night and every night since then we've been especially on each other.

I still feel that I love her but theres something missing. Its definitely the trust but maybe more than that? Ive woken up from nightmares the past 2 nights (rare for me to have nightmares) and they both included themes of being betrayed by her or being made to feel like im not enough. Im struggling to choose where to go from here. I really want it to work but the trust is broken and Im not sure if ill ever get it back. Im afraid staying with her will end up bad for the both of us. Should I risk the pain of being hurt again or put myself through the pain of letting her go. I haven't told anyone about this and I'd really appreciate advice from someone who has been through similar or feels they have something of value to say.

Literally every top comment.

This man took a drunk woman into an unknown, empty area and demanded sexual favors for her safe return home. That's not s*x, that's r*pe

Some of these comments are horrendous. Based on her retelling, this was r*pe.

Actually she didnt lie, she forgot

I would have put this as a SA and trauma response by forgetting. She sounded naive and taken advantage of.

Lots of she had to cheat or she would be dead

Having s*x with a guy who drives you to an unfamiliar location with no one around isn't s*x, it's survival. The threat is implicit.

No need to link anything, you can just start from the top and go down.

Does anyone know any good local schools where parents won’t teach their children their adult opinions about my job which will result in them influencing their kids to bully mine? Looking for recommendations.

Someone called the police on me and said I left my baby out in the rain

I am feeling so many emotions right now: sadness, fear, anger, embarrassment… I am totally overwhelmed and I don't know what to do except to vent here on Reddit.

So my 7 mo baby is teething like crazy and struggling to nap. It's autumn where I live, and the past few days have been beautiful fall weather- between 13°C and 18°C, fresh air and just very pleasant. The past few days I've been taking her for a walk in her stroller to get her to fall asleep. At the end of the walk, I've been taking her stroller through my side gate, into my backyard and up on to my back porch to let her sleep. She usually only sleeps for about 30-40 mins. I leave the back door open, keep the screen closed and sit at my kitchen table while she naps. I'm no more than 7 feet from her stroller, I'm just inside while she's outside.

I want to reiterate, I'm practically next to her stroller. I can see her face. I can DEFINITELY hear her if she were to cry. She is just on one side of a screen door and I am on the other.

Today it was a little misty, but a very pleasant 17°C. It was technically raining, but barely. It wasn't raining enough to make any noise or even to have visible droplets on the stroller's rain cover. Again, she fell asleep on her walk and I took her into my backyard to sleep on the back porch. She had a horrible night last night- we both barely slept. I was so tired I actually went and got a folding reclining beach chair out from our basement and set it up in my kitchen next to the back door so I could have a nap. Me on one side of the screen, her on the other. We both ended up sleeping for about 2 hours.

When I woke up, she was happily playing with her toes, barely making a sound. She was so happy and refreshed. I took her inside, got her a bottle, and had a great afternoon with my baby.

WELL… a few minutes ago, two police officers show up at my door. Dog started barking, baby started screaming, just an absolute meltdown all at once. Once I manage to wrangle the circus, I let the 2 officers in (one woman, one man officer if that matters). The man officer doesn't say much, he just kind of stood behind and let the woman officer do the talking. She was very stern/acting like I've done something wrong from the first interaction.

She first asks why it took me so long to answer the door. I tell her I had to secure my dog first as I'm the only one home. She asks why I have to secure my dog and implies that he is dangerous. I tell her no, he is just excitable and is extra jumpy with strangers now that we have the baby. He is a large dog, and I want to give her my full attention instead of focusing on controlling my dog and reinforcing training.

She starts questioning whether I'm overwhelmed with the baby in a very accusatory way. Starts implying that I can't handle a baby while my husband is at work. Starts implying it's hard for me when there's no one else here. I am point blank with her in saying obviously it is hard, but she's my daughter and I love her and I've been doing a great job on my own the past 7 months.

She then gets to the main reason: “We've had a report that someone in this house left a baby outside in the rain for most of the day today. We were asked to investigate.”

I then show the officers the set up. Lead them to the back door. Show them where I set up the stroller and where I sit. Show them her stroller with the cover and the hat/sweater she was wearing etc.

The officer responds word-for-word: “Ok, so I don't think this baby is in any danger right now, so we're not going to do anything about it THIS time. BUT, I want you to know that leaving your baby OUTSIDE to nap is EXTREMELY inappropriate, and I don't want to get another call out here with this again. Ok?”

I nodded, let them out of my house and then just bawled.

I thought I had a very good relationship with my neighbours. We've always been friendly. I walk their dog out for them when they get called in unexpectedly (my neighbours are doctors), my husband will cut their grass sometimes. Another neighbour used to live next to my grandmother growing up… like, I don't understand? Who would do this?

What do I do going forward? Is there anything I can do about this?

Edit to add and clarify:

I mentioned I was 7 ft from her stroller. I'm 7 ft from her stroller if I'm sitting at the kitchen table. On the chair I set up, I could reach out and touch her stroller if the screen wasn't in the way. If it rained harder I would have gotten wet.

Whoever called the police did so HOURS after I had already taken the baby inside. I took her inside around 2 PM, it's not 8:44 PM and the police were here 2-3 hours ago. It was dark out when police came to my house.

People who are asking about intruders: I have a 7ft tall fence with a locked gait. I have a hedge of cedars along the fence which go several feet above the fence. I live in a very safe neighbourhood. You cannot see my yard from the street. I also have a very large dog who is very protective of the baby who was laying by my feet. There are no animals in my area that could hurt a baby.

EDIT 2 to add and clarify:

The more I think about this I also think it's worth noting I have a suspicion this was racially motivated. My neighbour who grew up next to my grandparents is white. My grandparents are black and Chinese. My grandmother is black, my grandfather is Chinese (both from Jamaica originally). My mother appears black. I look white like my dad.

There are no people of colour on my street/block. This is a very majority white neighbourhood.

This neighbour is one of the few people in my neighbourhood who knows that I'm mixed race. Looking back on our interactions, they would joke about my grandparents being kind of weird (they have some cultural differences), but my grandparents were always really nice to them and helped them out a lot, so I assumed we were on good terms. Now I'm looking back and realizing their “jokes” aren't so innocent.

My single friend group is not actively looking, way too much work and so many men enjoy abusing women on the apps, treating every woman like a s*x dispenser (FYI I date over 50 :/)

I'm in my 30's it's the same with people my age as well, we're all seeing the same stuff. So many people are just done with the apps too.

I am happy that women are leaving, until the apps get rid of the garbage no one should tolerate this abuse!

"I need 3.5" long, 16D, hot dip galvanized, twisted nails."

"What do you need them for?"

That just still sits with me a lot. I think about it way too often. It's been nearly 20 years since it happened (I'm 28 now) but I just can't fully get past it I don't think.

Entire account is a disaster

To make a really long and painful story short, my current boyfriend helped me get away from an incredibly abusive marriage. Boyfriend was willing to try polyamory with my ex husband until he found out how bad the abuse was. We haven't had the discussion about us having a polyam relationship since we started seeing each other romantically, and I really don't know how to bring it up with him. I have two friends who are interested in being partners, but I don't want talkings to go too far without talking to my boyfriend.
