Hobby Lobby uses barcodes like any other retail store. I'm not sure why people think they don't.

Anyway, crazy fundamentalist Christians' beef with the mark of the beast is all about people being marked, not merchandise.

From Hobby Lobby's website:


:confused:

I was just at a Hobby Lobby last month, and bought a mirror. There's a barcode on it, which the cashier scanned at the register to ring me up.

Did I go to some bootleg Korean Hobby Lobby by mistake, where lasers are permitted?

Or was I at Hoppy Lobby?

Maybe they used to have an anti-barcode policy at some point in the past, but I imagine inventory control at such a big store would be very difficult without them. Nearly everything in the store has a barcode already on it (except for weird stuff like big furniture and custom frames), even individual stems of fake flowers.

It's certainly part of their corporate culture--there are signs on the entrance doors that say something to the effect of "We are closed on Sundays out of respect for our family's religious beliefs."

At any rate, I'm sure I'm not the only one whose Facebook feed is full of "SORRY OBAMA, PAYING TAXES IS AGAINST MY RELIGION! IT WORKED FOR HOBBY LOBBY!" poo poo that's driving me nuts. I don't use it very often, so it piles up quickly, and the worst of the poo poo rises to the top of the heap over and over because people keep re-posting it.

Most of these idiots have no idea what the gently caress "paying taxes" means. Are they referring to local property taxes, which make sure your kids can go to school and your water is safe to drink? State sales taxes, which pay to maintain the goddamn roads to the backwater dirt-hole you call a hometown? Federal income taxes?

These same shitheads like to bitch about how "illegals don't pay taxes," and get all mad when I tell them that anytime "an illegal" buys something in our state, he or she pays loving taxes.

The funny thing about this one is that there's a gene that influences how cilantro tastes to people
So part of why some people hate cilantro is because they are one of the unlucky few who it objectively tastes horrible to. Sucks for them, because cilantro is delicious for us superhumans who it doesn't taste gross to!

When my blueprints were submitted, they gave me "will hate cilantro" but took out "is allergic to brown recluse spider venom," so I'm a winner who hates homemade salsa but won't lose a limb to ballooning extremities if bitten by a particular nasty loving spider :c00l:

Among the obvious CYA reasons listed above, because we stigmatize drug use to make ourselves feel superior.

I'm a poor white male as well, and I get financial aid. I always love when I bring up financial aid to people and they go but your white how did you get it? I signed up for it and got it like literally anyone else.

The federal financial aid system is really good for the most part--if you're trying to go to school and can't afford it, they'll go out on a limb and help for free so long as you fill out the appropriate paperwork every year (and you can do it online if you want). There are tons of grants and loans available to virtually all U.S. citizens, so it kills me when people are like "I can't afford to get a degree and they won't give me no financial aid 'cause I'm white." Yes, they will, you goober. gently caress, even if you can afford to pay for tuition and fees, they might throw in a grant or a low-interest loan to help with books and supplies.

The only thing I'd change is that you're still considered a dependent of your parents until the age of 24 for financial aid purposes, so their incomes are considered when you file. I know too many people who left a bad home at a young age and are trying to make it on their own who've gotten turned down for aid because they either couldn't supply their parents' proof of income/tax returns or their parents' incomes were too high. One of the only ways around the rule is to have the state recognize you as homeless. :rolleyes:

Wait. Is this actually a thing? Are people honestly under the impression that you can only get financial aid if you're a minority?

Yeah, idiots lump financial aid into the same pile as welfare, food stamps, WIC, etc. It's all "fukken handouts to minorities who refuse to work for a living" to those people.

People should just eat sugar free gummy bears instead. It would at least taste better going down. They provide reviews like this:

"It all started the day prior when my sugar tooth persuaded me to eat 2 handfuls of these sugar-free delights. Fast forward 15 hours 23 minutes and 44 seconds, the world shook. All hell broke loose inside me, a sudden headache, my skin began to perspire and something tore around in my abdomen with force enough to make me latch onto my couch with both hands and let out a sheer cry that sent my dog retreating into the bedroom, she probably knew the battle was already lost. I tried to make for the bathroom but the pressure was so intense I had to wait it out on the couch until a lapse in the gut-busting occurred and I regained control of my muscles. It took only moments before the volcano Mt Anus had blown its top. The air quickly turned poisonous from the methane and sulfuric fumes that spewed forth. Violence and terror are understatements of what happened for the next 45 minutes. I sustained 3rd degree burns from contact with the lava that flowed abruptly from my bowels, my blood pressure was at record levels, and my body mass was reduced by 4 lbs. After ample ventilation of the crime scene I quickly took a shower and changed clothes because the powerful fumes had soaked through the fabric and into the skin. I almost had a mental breakdown in the shower after realizing those little gummy bears had nearly defeated such a man that I thought I was. I can now hardly bare to look forward through the night-terrors and PTSD that will come of this horrid event. . ."

Forty-five minutes is a pretty conservative estimate. "Better part of a day" is more accurate.

Seriously, stay away from sugar-free gummy bears unless you have a clear event calendar and a bathroom to yourself.
