Where I’m at, I’m pretty sure sales taxes aren’t assessed on the fees, only on the product
- Comment on Anon orders food 11 hours ago:
$10 + $7 + $2 or $3 = $19 or $20. Sales tax would be less than a dollar. Anon’s unhealthy lifestyle is causing cognitive decline

People who are used to eating that much salt just don’t even notice when good is way too salty. I grew up eating whatever processed shit was put in front of me, but after reducing my salt and sugar intake years ago, I’m now acutely sensitive to food when it’s too salty or sweet, which is a serious departure from my tastes when I was young

I’ve only ever seen this at Walmart, and to a lesser extent, Target. I don’t shop at either

What’s crazy is how rural America was solidly behind much of Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society in the 1960s, but Civil Rights drove such a wedge that they followed George Wallace right out of the Democratic Party, and by the early 70s had fully aligned with Richard Nixon. The racism was/is that deep, that all those people just gave up everything else they supported politically to try to ensure the government continued to oppress minority groups.

Genuinely some of the best food I’ve had anywhere I’ve ever been. I ate at an Indian restaurant Anthony Bourdain visited on his show and it was incredible. It was in an 80s strip mall about 30 feet from the I-10 service road, concrete in every direction, deafening traffic, and car exhaust heavy in the air. It’s hard to consider that people created that space for people to exist in

Houston has some amazing neighborhoods, cultural diversity, a solid professional job market, and great parks and museums. Unfortunately, this is only a fraction of Houston, where the rest is concrete wasteland and/or culturally devoid

The Kosovo War was an armed conflict in Kosovo that lasted from 28 February 1998 until 11 June 1999. It was fought between the forces of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY), which controlled Kosovo before the war, and the Kosovo Albanian separatist militia known as the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA). The conflict ended when NATO intervened by beginning air strikes in March 1999 which resulted in Yugoslav forces withdrawing from Kosovo.

Are you trolling or are you just that confused? Your words make zero logical sense. If your words here are an accurate representation of what’s going on in your head, consider yourself lucky you’re in a job that requires no thinking
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
That’s your argument? Are you 12? How embarrassing
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
you are dislike feminist because of the way
Brother, these are words, but they don’t make sense in this order
they claim to be driven by equity but in fact they are nisandrists
There we go. True colors shining through right here. If you think feminism equates to misandry, you’re sorely mistaken, and probably developing your entire perspective of this from ragebait content. Try meeting some women in real life
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Oh man, send this statement to a logician for analysis and their brain would melt. I’m taking away overall that you dislike feminism and also misunderstand what feminism is
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Ok, but what’s your point?
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
You’re incredible single minded about strength. Strength is just one small piece of work, and clearly plays a more significant role in your trade than in most. Plumbing, electrical, carpentry, there are tools for it all. You’re only seeing yourself and your job here my brother, and not seeing the world for what it actually is
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
STEM and the trades are very, very different and should not be lumped together. Women outnumber men by a significant margin in biological sciences, for example. And more women than men have been graduating from medical school in the US every year since 2017. Similarly, more women than men have been graduating with PhDs across the board every year since 2020

I can’t speak for every municipality, but where I live sewer service is definitely a portion of our water bill and is (at least mostly) not tax-funded

And if you don’t have used oil recycling, the next best thing is just throwing it in the trash
- Comment on Heh heh 2 weeks ago:
The oil doesn’t necessarily just make a problem for your landlord. Fat/oil can clog sewers way down the line, causing problems for entire neighborhoods over time and requiring costly maintenance, which increases the costs of sewer service for everyone
- Comment on How often is normal to masturbate? 2 weeks ago:
Very frankly, this statement right here has me thinking about porn or sex addiction. If you don’t think it’s negatively affecting your life (relationships, employment, self-esteem, etc), then you keep doing you (hehe). If you find you’re putting aside other meaningful activities on a regular basis to click the mouse, maybe take a deeper look at that pattern and consider talking with a sex-positive therapist

Nature is fucked up. Bedbugs mate via “traumatic insemination,” where the male stabs the female in the gut with his reproductive organ and injects sperm straight into her body. And we all know about ducks…

That’s gracious of you. Maybe too gracious
- Comment on Well you see, uh... 3 weeks ago:
Yeah again I agree, but I also think once you have a kid you’ll understand that early on they’re largely going to be asking questions to which they have no hope of figuring out an answer, because they’re just beginning to learn to read and know absolutely nothing about the world. Developing curiosity and investigative methods are part of it too, but genuinely only for what is within their grasp, otherwise it can become confusing and frustrating
