Instructions unclear, ended up going on a 3 hour rant about mocroplastics after shifting the topic from how my bottle is a better choice than disposable plastic ones.

Sarcasm tag isn’t necessary. Those who benefit from it see these as legitimate questions.

I remember when this happened. I think it’s wild that she is still being detained for it.

Looks like a perfume shop, which is made to make ypur skin smelly.

It’s very possible that it isn’t really piss and just yellow-dyed water. Maybe an artificial piss of sorts.

That scene in Idiocracy where the smart couple fail to reproduce comes to mind.

Being illiterate has no correlation with wanting other people to do all the work for me. We’re just lazy. Please do some homework before jumping to conclusions.

Congrats, you’ve won at ADHD.

From what I read on other posts, it sounds like Geico was the one not following suit because nobody else would insure it in the first place.

I like that the image referenced has the polecat sitting on a pole.

Easy. I’m the new CEO of the company we set up there. Employee salary is an expenditure, and being a company in that country, it qualifies for that rebate unless there’s more details I’m missing. I was also grossly over-simplifying in my original comment, I’m sure it’s more complicated than that. I also just attribute Hollywood Accounting (see other commenter’s post) to anything listed as a box office loss.

“I lost $100 million dollars making this movie. Coincidentally, I also paid myself $100 million to make this movie.”

“As the CEO, if I pay myself $100 million for making this movie, I will get $25 million of that back from government reimbursement.”

No big budget movie will ever make a profit because they make sure the big wigs get paid the amount the profit would have been. It is intentional.

I have no idea, but I just assume at this point that even mentioning Lemmy on that site would result in either a ban or a shadowban from Spez’s lackeys.

Dead communities or Bot communities. Pick one.

There’s a few smaller communities on reddit that I like that don’t have a presence here, which is unfortunate. I feel ya.

It’s like the Loreal Kids shampoo deal. “No more tears” was the slogan, but it still hurt your eyes. They claimed “tears” was like tearing your hair, not tears in your eyes, even though in the commercials they pronounced it “teer” and not “tare.”

When money is worthless, their only commodity will be promises, and that won’t fill our belly.

Reddit is only good for massively reposted memes at this point. Any real communities with any semblance of civility are better on Lemmy, in my opinion, thanks to Reddit’s policy of shooting themselves in the foot.

Edit: even with memes, I’ve found Lemmy to be the better option.

This might make sense for people with six+ figures sitting in a savings account, but the average person today doesn’t have enough cash to think about earning interest on it. For them, paying off a debt now would be cheaper in the long run. For the most part, at least.

I like these points. Preventing a future expense by paying less now is always worth it, if you can afford it.
