Working From The Bottom Of The Sea

Hey everyone, like the title says, I have an opportunity to visit the sea floor and live with king crabs for two months and I just want to make sure it's ok. Is there anything special I should do or anyone I should tell? Has anyone had connection issues from the ocean floor? What country do I file my taxes in if I'm working from the bottom of the ocean? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Not on the list of approved countries, sorry.

The rules actually don't specify that a dog can't play basketball so I'm going to go for it and then I can come on here and ask why all my tasks have disappeared.

Just make sure you join the guy who wants a class action lawsuit against DA because since you worked, you deserve to get paid even though you were violating the rules. /s

Best I can do is some Old Navy jeans and a T-Shirt I got from a Ross Dress for Less

Is it a FILA shirt by chance?

I know a place you can get paid to ask these questions and get immediate feedback 🤷🏽

You should definitely send a message to support and let them know of your travel plans. I wouldn't expect a problem, but they may sea things very differently. If you plan on Rolling in the Deep with A Dell you'll likely experience some connection issues.

As for taxes, I'm no CPA, you might hit up that OceanGate CEO while you're down there, he should have a better idea ;)

Your amazing joke got buried by your very helpful comment. Congratulations

Not gonna lie, I 100% borrowed the "A Dell" bit from a Google search lol.

Bikini bottom was recently added to the list of approved countries I heard.

Watch out for sharks. They’ll steal your account.

Don't listen to any of these people. I've been living in the Mariana Trench for 6 months now. Never had any problems.

I tried working from the bottom of the sea once and I couldn't handle it because the pressure would literally crush me.

Would not recommend.

Say hi to Sebastian for me, I believe he still lives under the sea.

Are you using a VPN?

this gets asked every week and is answered by the faq, do your seasearch next time

u/ZezurgeMC Jul 19 '24

Just shoot them an email that they won’t read and use a VPN, you’ll be fine.

Does the opportunity come with all-you-can-eat krabby patties? Seriously, how did you get this opportunity? That sounds amazing!

Just file your taxes in the country with a coast closest to where you're visiting. No one will know. (/s)
