US tax rate isn’t different on bonuses, but the withholding is.
The govt sees you getting paid a shit ton one month and thinks it’s gonna be like that every month from now on so they keep a bunch of extra money so they can be sure you pay your taxes. Then at the end of tax season when you file, you get the extra back in your return.

SmoothIsFast@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Should i be giving a shit about my posture?0·1 year agoBad posture is also a symptom of a greater muscle imbalance or weakness, not necessarily something you should focus on changing on it’s own.
I had very bad posture, but once I started going to the gym and strength training and built a more balanced base of strength, my posture improved greatly on it’s own. At least I have noticed significant difference.
Hunched shoulders can be corrected somewhat just by exercising the back with pulling exercises like lat pulldowns, pullups, and rows.
Lower back issues can be helped by training dead lifts, good form for that exercise is extremely important though.
Of course you should also include some yoga and stretching in your routine too, that has numerous benefits. I would recommend getting a personal trainer if you’ve never been to the gym before to teach you to do exercises correctly until you’re comfortable on your own.

What examples are there of things that suggest our timeline is actually better than it seems?0·1 year agoWars have been fought over spices you can now buy in a grocery store for $5, less than an hours work at minimum wage. It’s quite incredible when you think about it.
SmoothIsFast@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•When you inhale helium from a balloon, do you weigh less?0·1 year agoHelium by volume is lighter than air. That metric is called density.
So if you displace the volume in your lungs with helium that weighs less than the air that’s usually there, you will weigh less.
Physics!
SmoothIsFast@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Do any "thickening" products actually work to prevent hair loss/thinning?0·1 year agoMinoxidil and finasteride will prevent further hair loss and thicken up what you still have. I highly recommend them.
Finasteride is a hormone based therapy which prohibits the production of DHT which strangles hair follicles, but it can effect male reproductive health so I recommend taking it typically instead of orally to prevent systemic exposure.
I have been using a combo spray for almost a year with great results.
