    That is where the effort comes in.

    I can almost guarantee you can find a 18 or 21+ server for your interests. If not, I am sure there are servers dedicated to a similar age range that have channels you can chat in.

    There are many people who have developed long term long distance relationships online. Keep in mind that building relationships takes time and effort. Anybody who is active on a server can be a long term friend.

    Instant friendships are very hard to find. If you are lucky, you might stumble on one, but I would recommend not expecting that to be the norm.

    I have found people with similar interests on Discord. Say what you will about the platform, it is good for finding communities.

    The smaller the better.

    Joining a large server might make you feel lost in the sea of voices or end up with a ton of spam. You might need to swap between a few to find a community that actually fits you. But it is worth it.

    16•3 months ago

    Previously, gig platforms only had to report information to the IRS for workers who earned more than $20,000 and completed at least 200 transactions.  The new thresholds are designed to make it harder for gig workers to avoid paying taxes on their income.

    “Like their fellow Americans who earn income through traditional means, U.S. taxpayers who earn income from digital and other platforms that comprise the gig economy need to pay their fair share of taxes,” IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel said in a statement. “The world is getting smaller for tax cheats, and we will work collaboratively with our partners to vigorously enforce the nation’s tax laws.”
