DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell - General Discussion

[Fallgout Boy]

It's weird that Phil says he's paying "pass-through business" taxes, but that it's not a business. As far as I can tell, a pass-through business is considered, well... a business. In fact, a shitton of businesses are apparently classified as pass-through businesses. This would most likely be classified a sole proprietorship pass-through business. Pass-through businesses are subject to a number of taxes beyond just the federal income tax for the individual:

• There's a Self-Employment tax, which owners of sole proprietorships and partnerships are subject to on most of their net business income. This totals ~15% on the first ~117k earned annually, and ~3-4% beyond that.
• Pass-through business income can also be subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax (of which more than 2 million income tax returns with pass-through business income were subject to in 2007), which increases the effective tax rate paid by business owners.
  
• In addition, pass-through businesses pay state and local income taxes. I don't know what the state and local income taxes are for Washington (Daddy DSP says 0%), but according to the chart in the article I link below, the combined marginal tax rate for Washington (for sole proprietorship pass-throughs) is 42.6%. This is the lowest tax rate in the country (#42), shared by a number of other states. However, the combined marginal tax rate for Connecticut would only be 47.8% (#19), and it's nowhere near the highest in the country (California is #1 at 51.9%).

It's entirely possible that I'm wrong about all of this. I'm just a non-American asshole who spent 15 minutes skimming through this. I'm sure Phil did his due diligence. lol

So does he realise he looks like shit on that pic? Or is that another genius idea to make people feel bad for him for $

The answer to "So does DSP realize...?" is almost always No.

I love how this is the picture Phil chooses to be his new Twitter profile pic.

I don't know which is funnier. The fact that it's clearly a screencap of the latest Week in Preview video, or that he's that lazy, he couldn't be bothered to get a picture where he's not in the middle of sentence.

I wonder if he takes suggestions? This one, I feel, is a great improvement.

Only detractors give suggestions. His true fans are sheep that follow without a word.

He uses the most low res, blown up pictures he can get his hands on. Instead of, I’m just spitballing here, a picture from his phone? That little brick that he uses for those instagram atrocities?

I dunno. I don’t have a business degree.

 

[Um Oh Ah Yeah]

With regards to the whole girlfriend thing: whether she's fake or not, Phil made a huge miscalculation by bringing her up. He's clearly using her as his"valid" excuse for why he needs to keep the Patreon palace, when the fact of the matter is that his fans hate relationship-Phil. Everyone acted like it was just Leanna, but I guarantee they'll start complaining that their money is going to some girl before too long.

 

[WeeblesWobble]

Has anyone ever checked to see if he trademarked things like "DarkSydePhil" "DSPGaming" or "TheKingofHate"?

It would be funny if he couldn't use the name anymore because someone else took the trademark.

"Hello everyone! LightSydePhil here!"

He trademarked all of that stuff a while ago because he didnt want the detractors to screw him.

Although, TheKingofHate is not trademarked and he has it on a lot of shirts...

There’s no individual state income tax here but I’m sure that doesn’t apply to businesses.

But he needs a picture of him in the Santa hat, dood, to make sure the people with the money are aware that it's the holiday season and that they need to be more generous with their donations. Clearly, you only have "book smarts", as opposed to "street smarts".

Seems that no matter what the year is, DSP always makes a tweet about his detractors during Christmas

"The truly miserable just can't wait to share" Isn't that the fucking truth, what delights will he share with us soon i wonder?.

Phil is a sad sack of holiday cheer at this point. I wonder if he's going to be alone for christmas? I haven't checked up on him in a while.

Oh, sorry. I forgot that the only time he can wear the hat is when he is filming on stream with his really crappy camera. I will take this lesson and learn more street knowledge.

He's telling a story about donating old clothes he doesn't wear anymore to the needy and took the opportunity to shit on Leanna and her bags of shit (clothes) she moved across the country and left there.

I wasn't aware the poor people in his community were in need of tent material.

Doesn't he need to renew some time?

Did he mention the shitty "kids" clothes he left in CT?

Time for some more "DSP mentioned on Twitter!"

 

[werek89]

Wow he just timeout DJRuno1 a 6-Month Subscriber for 10. Min.
Is this normal?

Rule no.1
Kiss ass or get timedout/ban!

Full of holes and discoloured from sweat stains too no doubt.

Not to my recollection although I was only half listening as usual, he was just going on about Leanna's bags and bags of shit that he found.

It seems like quite a few people from this community have blocked me on Twitter(most likely because I have @TIHYDP, and a lot of the people on his followers list, on my following list).
It's a shame. You shouldn't block someone unless you've gotten to know them.
It doesn't hurt me if you've got me blocked, but it does hurt you, more than you already are, and I don't wish for anyone to continue being in pain and sliding deeper into hurt.

Most people in this community seem to have a few severe, unresolved issues, and I've seen a lot of people from this community do streams, vlogs, etc., and a lot of them are VERY similar to the person that they have an obsession over. This is not an attack on them, but rather a chance for them to see that they have to change and free themselves of this person that's only poisoning them further.

I hope that you all will realize that you shouldn't waste your time on this person, and hopefully you'll all heal and live joyful lives, you're own lives.
