I’ll bet you anything it’s taxes.
- Comment on no it do not 1 week ago:
Don’t forget megachurch pastors.
- Comment on no it do not 2 weeks ago:
As Behind the Bastards pointed out recently in their Kent Hovind episode, the IRS doesn’t give a shit about what illegal or immoral activity you commit, they literally just want you to pay taxes on it.
- Comment on A Tax of 5% on The World’s Multi-Millionaires and Billionaires Could Raise $1.7 trillion, Enough to Lift 2 Billion People out of Poverty 2 weeks ago:
So give me exactly what your criteria are on “shithole nations”.
- Comment on Uncle Dad voted for him right before he went to get the meth from Aunt Grandma! 3 weeks ago:
Remember the times they effectively blockaded highways with their ad hoc motorcades, and they kept getting into wrecks there too?
- Comment on Wild times 5 weeks ago:
Did Star Trek ever do one?
- Comment on Mushroom ID 5 weeks ago:
Mhm, society persists even through collapse scenarios mostly for exactly this reason. John the Butcher in 13th century Scotland might have lost his entire village to The Plague, but those guys in the village 3 miles down the road still have people who know how to forage, or hunt, or grow food, etc etc etc.
- Comment on This is not a record to be proud of. 5 weeks ago:
Offsides/Five Dollar Footlong Jesus just isn’t the same.
- Comment on Wage theft now outnumbers all other types of theft in the U.S., reaching $482 million 5 weeks ago:
Or, the company keeps withholding documentation until your own money runs out. They know how it’s played, and unless you get your local Department of Labor involved (if indeed you even have a DoL that’s not just countywide or whatever), they know that they can just run the clock out by withholding documents, delaying court dates, etc while remaining well within the “oh we just plain forgot your honor” line.
- Comment on I don't know which one of you needed this information, but you're welcome. 5 weeks ago:
You forgot the parts where he drove an APC through the wrong guy’s house, and also the part about the sex slave that escaped from his house.
- Comment on Fear 1 month ago:
Pretty much this. The average gets dragged down by a HIGH infant mortality rate - nest predators from snakes to raccoons to hawks and vultures kill a lot of hatchlings, as well as things like simple accidents (falling out of a tree, for instance).
- Comment on PSA: Don't eat cicadas if you're allergic to shellfish... or at all 1 month ago:
Nah, this has been a thing for a WHILE. My great grandma had cookbooks from the 1910s with recipes for cicadas.

So the first one MIGHT have been a suicide. The second one got sick, went to the hospital, and sadly contracted MRSA there and died of complications from that.
- Comment on PSA: Do not approach the wildlife. 1 month ago:
I saw several people try to go hiking like that at Red Rocks outside of Las Vegas when I was there.
It was summer. The temperature was 130F.
- Comment on 🚨 NBA Bans Jontay Porter 2 months ago:
I feel conflicted about players betting on games now that almost every sports league in the nation is sponsored by DraftKings or another sports betting agency. On the one hand, the integrity of the game does matter, especially when a player might bet on a game that they can influence. On the other hand, you have whole stadiums and every sports channel BLASTING betting ads at you at least once every commercial break, and I can definitely see where that would influence your decision-making.

Walton Goggins is great in everything.
- Comment on California law would give employees the 'right to disconnect' during nonworking hours 2 months ago:
Yup, my old grocery store required this as a part of being full-time. You couldn’t refuse a shift, couldn’t swap hours, and had to be able to come in when asked unless the absence was preplanned or a medical emergency.
Needless to say, almost all of the full-time people had no lives outside work, at all.
- Comment on RIP in pieces 2 months ago:
However, that DOES give you money to sue people so you can have the court order them to recognize you as a founder.
- Comment on Next on the hydraulic press channel! 2 months ago:
Exactly this. Everyone working on that machine slaps their lock on it, and every last lock needs to be removed before the tag can come off. The welders might finish in half a day, but the electrical or water or hydraulic guys might need a whole weekend to get done, so this makes sure someone doesn’t say “oh the lock is gone” and make mincemeat out of some dude’s head.
- Comment on C O L O N I Z E 2 months ago:
This is just mushrooms in general. There are tons of copycat species that look nearly identical, like false morels, which will kill you.
- Comment on This is a Test 2 months ago:
Also, a good handful of the people who DO own a weapon, have no training in the weapon and don’t know how to use or handle one safely.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Not really laws, at least in the US. So long as they don’t claim it’s made of things it isn’t, they can say “well the packaging clearly states it’s not real, actual leather”.
- Comment on It's not enough to touch grass 2 months ago:
Kentucky was named the Bluegrass State because it was so invasive that when settlers came into the area, they found the whole state carpeted in it.
- Comment on Feds Recently Hit Cargo Giant In Baltimore Disaster For Silencing Whistleblowers 2 months ago:
It sure seems like it might be a contributing factor. Who knew that threatening whistleblowers would eventually wind up with people duct taping over known issues rather than actually trying to get them fixed?
Now we’ve got this, the whole Boeing thing, East Palestine…
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
Pretty much this. I lived through the Columbine days as a middle school student. I remember being confused, even more now looking back, that nobody really made time to talk about “how do we stop this from happening in the first place”, people just seemed to assume that it could happen and we should all be OK with that.

Kansas City had a shooting at their victory parade.
- Comment on Lyft and Uber say they will leave Minneapolis after city council forces them to pay drivers more 3 months ago:
It’s more that all of these rideshare companies rely solely on undercutting every other cab company in the area - by not paying a living wage and forcing drivers to use their own vehicles (thus paying for their own gas and maintenance), they avoid a lot of operating expenses. They manage to do this by billing themselves as tech companies instead of any sort of transport company, and cities have been forced to go along with it purely out of convenience and mass adoption.
- Comment on Modern beauty standards 3 months ago:
Nah, this is an AWCY-grade weird performance art thing.
- Comment on Major US corporations threaten to return labor to ‘law of the jungle’ 3 months ago:
In the country where pretty much anyone can legally purchase a firearm, as well. This will end well, surely.
- Comment on WebMD forcing employees back to office. "We aren’t asking or negotiating at this point. We’re informing" 5 months ago:
Or, “we’re raking in record profits but we need to make the line go SLIGHTLY more up for the shareholders, so we’re telling you to RTO in the hopes that enough of you will leave so we don’t have to do layoffs”. Layoffs look bad to shareholders, but masses of people quitting? Meh, it happens now.
