Yes. Walmart does everything .88 as their thing to be lower than .99

When something goes just below 15 its note worthy.

I'm bad with money and I want that meatball!

The real trip with this poo poo is to compare the total area... it's all insane bonkers calvinball poo poo. The peak for me was the other day when I saw with the target brand a 6 huge = 9 regular but also 6 huge = 8 regular but the one that only equaled 8 had more total area than the one that equaled 9 cuz....uhhh I have no idea why.

My other fave was when charmin advertised "larger" rolls cuz they had more sheets per roll now but they also too a half inch off the width so it actually equaled out to less area. Their response was that you don't need that extra width anyway....genius

I don't know enough about dog breeding to have a strong opinion about it. However I am extremely skeptical and suspicious of it because every time I've visited the website of a breeder or read official publications by The Korgi Kennnel Klub or w/e, its always full of insane claims that are blatant pseudo-science. Just farcical poo poo about inheritance that blatantly have no basis in the science of genetics or animal behavior. It's hard for me to trust these organizations on the big issues when they are so obviously wrong about the small stuff.

This video summarizes one glaring piece of pseudo-science breeders often repeat.

Breed groups are a meaningless division but even as eminent an organization as the American Kennel Club continues to repeat bs about them. How can we trust them about the science when they are openly perpetuating urban myths? The assumption should be that we cannot.

I never touch my butt because that's what boys do and boys have cooties, I just have a poorer person lick me clean, and they can use the pay I'll give them as a financial instrument, and split some percentage with an even poorer person, who then does the same thing. My butt licking dollars futures are the only thing keeping the US housing market from crashing again.

I don't really care that it is more narrow...I just find it amusing they sold it as if you were getting more when you actually ended up with less. Same with all the weird hijinks with the size comparisons for those paper towels. Their own equalities don't hold up or even make sense at all...except to trick people into thinking they're getting more.

kennel clubs usually have some underlying ideology of no-poo poo race theory, and are the last mainstream institution where this is tolerated

in science, when you produce an inbred line, great effort is made to ensure that the specimens are actually healthy. dog breeders breed for weird bullshit like colouration patterns and breed out cosmetic but non-damaging defects like minor issues with teeth positions etc, in a completely pseudoscientific way

death to kennel clubs

Ask not to whom the Anidavatar belongs; it belongs to thee.
There's a breed of cat called a Scottish Fold which was bred because it's ears are floppy (and yes, they are adorably dopey lookin), except this is due to a minor cartilage defect. They can't breed with each other because their offspring basically have no cartilage and can't survive.

Dude was totally incapable of taking care of him, hadn't gotten him neutered and frequently forgot to feed him or just left him outside for days. Catte quickly realized that I was nice and would give him food and treat his fleas and loving tapeworms so when he got an injury from some kind of fight he came to me with a messed up leg and I took him to the vet and got him treatment (and later, neutered. lol that's what you get for trusting me bitch). When it came time to move apartments, the meth addict dude had been out of town for a couple weeks straight so we just grabbed the cat and took him with us and now he lives a happy life of sleeping and meowing at me at 3 AM

I think it's a mid-band of rich people who aren't quite rich enough to afford the like, team of lawyers and accountants required to correctly hide money overseas in illegal but impossible to prove ways, yet rich enough to just flat out move away and have the cost associated with doing that be way less than the cost of just paying your goddamn taxes.

The seasteaders are an entirely different, significantly crazier group

I was trying to find that "billionaires keep moving in and forcing out us honest millionaires!" article because it reminded me of that but couldn't get google to turn it up, however instead I found this wonderful scare piece from the daily mail:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4932482/Wealth-tax-forces-12-000-millionaires-YEAR-France.html

quote:

France needs it's new lower tax on wealth in order to stem its exodus of millionaires, the country's Prime Minister has warned.

Edouard Philippe defended President Emmanuel Macrons' economic reforms, which have seen thousands take to the street this week, saying they are needed to make France attractive the wealthy again.

Last year alone, 12,000 millionaires emigrated from France - the highest outflux in the world.

...

'When someone leaves the country because of the wealth tax... collectively all French lose,' Prime Minister Philippe said according to Bloomberg, promising to 'defend' the change of the wealth tariff.

Oh no, those poor millionaires :qq:

As always, daily mail comment sections are full of wonderful people who are mostly American for some reason:

quote:

reader, New York, United States, 2 years ago

Duhhhhh.... Terrorisms rampant, ISIS alumni are invited back in like tourists from Iowa, the tax rate's out of this world, and migrants are given housing next to the once valued homes of millionaires- bringing their quality of life, safety and property values, down to nil. What's not to love?

In reply to that:

How many of these fleeing millionaires have supported the EU and free flow? Probably most of them because they have businesses that benefit them and they could bounce from house to house without border restrictions... I'm not feeling for them.
