• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is a "tax write off"?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Overly simplistic and assuming you are talking about the US: So you spent 80M making a movie but for whatever reason it never makes it out of production, you never see any return on this investment. But overall this year you made 100M from something else. When you do your taxes, you can “write off” this 80M spent as a loss, so you only have to pay taxes on the remaining 20 million. It doesn’t deduct 80M from taxes owed.

  My cat wipes the condensation off windows so she can look out.

  MarioKart starts getting violent later in the evening once the liquor is flowing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨(Bad) dog owners be like⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I can understand people being scared of big dogs.

  It wasn’t until after I realised that non-dog people would have shit themselves and shown fear. Which could have triggered the dog to attack.

  So that’s a well founded fear; no? IMO if your pet, regardless what it is, requires other people to know how to act to avoid being possibly mauled; it has absolutely no business being in public.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨(Bad) dog owners be like⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed. Forced sterilization should be the law.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is that on the internet, people assume you're a male from America, but if you're a vegan on the internet, people assume you're female?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Demographics. It may not be the case anymore but in the early days of the internet it was a majority American males. That trope has stuck around.

  And statistically, vegans are roughly twice as likely to be women.

  Yeah, but that’s because they manage to post in every. single. thread. It’s impressive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How well do Swedish fish keep past their best by date?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A vacuum sealer is your friend. I buy giant bags of everything now and split it up into single serving portions that last a long time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pick your Lemmy instance wisely...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Uh, Yeah. If you’re going to give me the choice. My free time is limited, why share it with assholes?
