  Yikes! That’s a stopper.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I can fix her⁩ ⁨⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Considering the US penal system, I’d risk many are in for ridiculous things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which one are you?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s ingenious.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨All downhill from there⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a sub trope that makes me wonder: why animate a corpse when animating the skeleton alone achieves the same purposes? For visual impact?

  And even in magic universes, physics still afects everything. Frost freezes the undead, heat cinzes their flesh, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨All downhill from there⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I like the zombie trope but you really can’t get only the good parts and leave out the bad ones.

  If zombies are rotting corpses, every carrion eating insect is going to have a field day. Plus any other predator or even any animal feeling threaned.

  Plus the weather. Heat accelerates decomposition. Cold burns tissues. Water logfing from rain would be a nuisance, at least. Too dry, you get mummies.

  This is evil and yet I can not censor it.

  Do it. Have some fun. Tease Darwin.

  A national supermarket chain has its own foundation and sometimes runs fund rallies for it, which they collect through their store front.

  What I stated comes from an explanation I was once given by an accountant. It works (or worked, hopefully) like that here, Portugal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨THIS always annoys me.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t doubt your word. I paraphrased the explanation an accountant in my country (Portugal) gave me. It may work differently in other places and I sincerely hope so.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨THIS always annoys me.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wasn’t going to comment initially but, thinking again, I will.

  According to what I was once explained, the scheme runs like this.

  a) organization X starts a fund raising campaign

  This alone can be deducted as an expense, as any amount of hours can be attributed to planning, preparing, etc, the entire thing.

  As this time as no profitable end, it can be deducted.

  b) You donate. But now it’s their money.

  Your money is siphoned to a separate bank account or just tallied and earmarked as for charitable purpouses but this does not mean the entity needs to hand it over immediatly.

  That money is held within the company’s vaults, figure of expression, and, as such, counts towards the overall financial assets of the company.

  It still needs to be handed to the end recipient but until it does it can be used to leverage loans and be invested into short term investment products, like overnight deposits (with hundreds of thousands or even millions it does gain interest overnight).

  c) the money gets donated eventually but not by you

  Eventually, all that money gets handed over but it is now their money, not yours. And as such, they get the tax deduction. And, again, with hundreds of thousands to millions in donations, the deduction gets very high.

  This deduction, on your expense, goes towards clearing more of their profits.

  Want to do something good?

  Volunteer. Help your neighbour. With your own efforts, actions and work. Don’t hand over money.

  Loneliness affects people. And as gregariois animals we are, the closest possibility to connect, in any form, is taken.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Unfortunately, stupid heartless people are a dime a dozen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  A couple that lived near me had a little thai cat, a sweet of an animal. They would let the cat out daily.

  At some point, they just decided to leave the country and abandoned the cat.

  The creature became the neighbourhood boss. Killed several males in fights, some even larger, fought off dogs, became a ferouscious hunter and never agaim entered a house.

  That cat was king of the street for three years until one of his own blood dethrowned him.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Interesting question I really hadn't thought about⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a thing?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jo jay!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Is that wine or paint? Wine washes off, unless you boil the stain into fabric.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jo jay!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m going to risk that is going to last for a very long time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When you see danger coming⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It would be a sure way to have this technology properly funded and true recycling being done: all sharks would jump at having the opportunity to make fuel at the price of pennies.

  But do we need more cars running on it as it is?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When you see danger coming⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Now that is interesting. From what and how?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When you see danger coming⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You’d prefer they excreted gasoline and matches?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everyone loves some good food;⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I want to download and print this image, to keep a few copies around. But Lemmy won’t allow me.

  Try getting stuck in a barracks for years and tell me if “male bonding” doesn’t become enticing. I read a text on spartan military where the author wrote that men sneaking out during the night to go meet their wives wasn’t uncommon but being caught trying it led to severe punishment.

  Athens and Plato just went overboard on the subject. Double men, double women and hermaphrodites. Convoluted.

  Assault dromedary. Weaponized bad temper. They will shoot you and spit at you.

  My keyboard doesn’t have that many symbols.

  I concede.

  Eventually, we’ll run out of these and enter proper discourse, with full sentences and long words.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mild vandalism⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I had the intuition these would be for medication.

  But that raises another question: are these labels only manufactured by one entity?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mild vandalism⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Still not enough.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mild vandalism⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That is not enough!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mild vandalism⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What type of products would be getting these?
