I think people really overestimate how much everybody knows about the US.

I’d say there’s a large population that only know NYC, LA, and Chicago.

Ah, this again.

The mega corporation did not receive any tax benefit from collecting donations. They are able to write off the amount of donations from their income, so that they aren’t paying tax on the money they collected specifically to be donated.

1. Company collects $1 donation from customer
2. Company has $1 extra income
3. Company donates $1 to charity
4. Company writes that dollar off of their income.
5. Company reports the exact same profit/loss as if they had not collected donations.

You can do anything if you put your mind to it!

But like, don’t submit it until it’s due. If you finish early keep that shit to yourself, don’t fuck with the managed expectations between me and my boss.

Never give cops your phone, yes. Also, don’t use biometrics to lock your phone. Police can legally force you to unlock with your thumb print, they legally (and like, physically) cannot force you to reveal a passcode stored only in your brain.

That’s a pretty generous description of Matt “fucked a child when he was in his 30s” Gaetz.

Transubstantiation is kind of in the Bible. Matthew 26:26-28

While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.”

Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the[a] covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

The discussion of transubstantiation is just how literal “my body/blood” is.

That’s not exactly what the Haka is. They were often performed as a precursor to war, but not exclusively. They’re also used as a celebratory ritual, you’ll see modern day Maori doing a haka for kids graduating school for example.

Best news I’ve seen in weeks

Useful alternative app: Google calendar. Or any of a hundred other calendar apps.

There are specialized scheduling apps for most things as well. I know for sure there are a ton of gardening apps.

A friend of mine went to Vegas once and we only got 2 texts from him in the group chat the entire time.

Day 1: I’m up!

Day 5: I’m down.

It’s not that “the crime isn’t a felony in Florida”, it’s that Florida defaults to the felony-voter rules of the state where the crime was committed.

New York lets felons vote as long as they’re not currently incarcerated, so Florida lets him vote.

Yeah, but if you get caught with a paper trail and only one comma, nobody’s gonna jump to your defense.

FWIW, I think this injunction was not about election integrity, but gambling laws.

But yeah, bribery is legal if you have that third comma in your net worth.

His real money comes from Amazon Web Services, and that’s really hard to divest from, even if its customers (businesses rather than individuals) wanted to.

His whole set was also loaded into the teleprompter, so they knew what he was gonna say.

He’s 54, I think he looks pretty average for that age. He looks like an old dad, because he is.

He got old.

His routine was loaded into the teleprompter. It was explicitly approved.

Never feel bad for pulling insane shenanigans in munchkin. That’s liberally what it’s for.

I hadn’t played in years and started a new world a few weeks ago. I just started setting up a raill system when the update hit and now the whole thing is fucked. Gotta tear up a bunch of diagonal sections and re-do them noe that the new track angles lead to different accessible grid points. I literally cannot connect new rails to the old rails on the diagonal section 🙃
