Peanut President posted:Reminds me of the bitcoin dude is renounced his citizenship and moved to Saint Lucia to dodge taxes, then tried to come back to the US for some conference and was told he had to pay his taxes first. As I recall, the best part was that he ended up paying his taxes, but didn't get any guarantees in writing that he'd be allowed back in. Hence: Shame Boy posted:So instead he sent one of those ipads on a stick to drive slowly around the conference with his face on it.

Squalid posted: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. I'm sorry, but your pit bulls are still garbage dogs bred to murder, and a public menace.

gently caress I love when products are created to "start conversations", if all my brands aren't specifically designed to make people come up and start yelling at me then I just don't feel like I'm helping others engage with brands to my full potential!

They didn't avoid New York or Massachusetts or Illinois because of the taxes, it's because it snows there. You can claim a bunch of foreign earned cash as tax exempt (up to about 100k?)and get foreign earned tax credits. So if you pay more tax overseas on your foreign income you don't pay taxes. Something like that anyway.

quote:Liquid Death is not normal. It’s weird like we are. And the people who love our brand tend to appreciate weird things, too. Many products in the health and wellness space are all marketed with “aspirational” fitness models and beautiful celebrities. Nothing weird or fun or irreverent. Only the unhealthy brands like candy, beer, and energy drinks get to be weird and fun. This brand is so weird and fun and quirky, just like me!!!

fun fact many places in the united states have tap water so bad you either require an extra filter or you drink bottled capitalism creating the problems it then sells you the band aids for.

https://twitter.com/GileadSciences/status/1126596126138875904?s=19 A) this is instead of, you know, lowering the prices so that people could afford this life saving medicine themselves B) the CDC has just approved a different, equally effective drug (from the same company) that has fewer side effects and is likely to basically replace Truveda. So all Gilead have actually done is agree to offload their soon-to-be-excess stock to people who weren't going to be buying their pills anyway
