Do we even have an FDA anymore?

Companies have been x-raying food to make sure there's no foreign objects in it for a long time and that's a good thing, and if the FDA didn't exist they absolutely wouldn't spend the money to buy and maintain x-ray equipment because gently caress is that ever expensive.

God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. Who will wipe this blood off us? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we need to invent?

my wife might spend around that for personal grooming. eyebrow/mustache wax, color and cut each month (she keeps her hair cut very short). I'm on the hook for like $20 every 5-6 weeks ($15 cut, $5 tip). $94 for the average American seems out of whack, but I'm a goon who hasn't ever really given a poo poo about having well styled hair. I couldn't even begin to guess what a "good" cut costs for a man at an upscale place

$170/month on lunch is what, $5/day? That's pretty reasonable imo.

I CBF reading into it deeply, is it saying that this is "extra" spending, like on top of the home packed lunches these people "should" be taking?

Also personal grooming is ridiculous. My partner was on tv recently so she went to an upmarket salon to get a good hair cut. Cost her $250 (NZD) and the hair dresser (I think she was called a "stylist" at this place actually) was working on 4 people all at once and was so busy she left the hair dye in too long which left my partner with some burns on her neck.

It was a good hair cut though tbf

e: and of course she didn't complain because she understands that then the stylist would be punished for it and the salon would go on booking like 4 people for her at once so the owner could continue to pocket like 80% of his workers' earnings

people see big dog on show, people decide they want a big dog (probably in their tiny house) and abandon the dog just like their heroes of house stark in the north

doesn’t this always happen when media featuring a particular animal gets super popular? I remember the same thing happened with 101 Dalmatians.

I’m irresponsible as gently caress but I honestly can’t understand the mind set of the moron who pays for a dog because of something on tv and immediately dumps it

capitalism is psychologically abusive

people living in the system are bombarded with messages to consume, advertising is everywhere and the entire point of it is to manipulate people into buying things they don't need. but then the same system will shame people for buying things and consuming too much

i've never understood paying for a dog. just go down to the pound and get one. check the tell-n-sell. drive around until you spot a stray. poo poo, just leave some food out in a bowl and eventually you'll get some kind of animal

I wonder how profitable boxes are because there are a billion of them and they have to cannibalize each other at some point right? I actually subbed to the loot tee one on valentines day because the had a 50% sale and I figured I can always use shirts (each one came out to about $5). I got the first one but march, April, and may's box have been delayed to may 30th which kind of defeats the entire point of having a monthly thing.

Idk how it works in your side of the world but in :911: the stylist is self employed and pays rent to the shop owner for their area and so would be the person doing the overbooking.

Of course, the private contractor culture in the US is toxic hateful garbage so it's probably better the way you think it worked

the main idea is that by investing upfront in a reputable breeder, you can get a dog who a) has a general behavior you can be prepared for b) you can plan for that particular breed's needs well in advance (unlike a mutt, where it can be a crapshoot which breed it takes after) and c) if it's a reputable breeder and you know its lineage you can control for the diseases it might suffer later in its life, whereas if it's even just two random purebreds you might have a dog who experiences some kind of recessive genetic defect that could give it a bad quality of life at some point.

essentially you get to be 100% prepared to care for the dog's needs and quirks (altho obvs all animals have their own personality, that personality is usually still expressed within the standards for the breed) and have a good idea that the dog's health complications should be fairly minimal. you spend a little, to ball a lot
