Corporations suck

How can something exist if they haven’t made money in 20 years?

How.much debt does the company have that shareholders will be buying into.

I live in Canada where it does snow in the winter so you have water/salt concerns but even in the summer there is still the risk of dusty dirt coating the bottom of your shoes and other random things, like bugs you step on, gum, gasoline at the gas station, a muddy puddle, etc.

I travel a lot for work and I even take my shoes off before walking around in my hotel room 😂 just a culture thing I guess.

I just assumed you meant you had separate outside shoes and indoor shoes since you said “they aren’t getting dirty” in your original comment.

If you’re walking around your house with shoes you walk around outside in the yes, they are getting dirty. Even if you just use them to walk from your front door to your car and your car to your office.

I can’t imagine walking around in my house in my shoes that I go to my office in, they get dirty enough without doing that.

Not saying you should change what you’re used to, just saying that’s definitely not the norm from where I live and can’t imagine a situation where that wouldn’t result in daily floor cleaning.

Sounds like you need better slippers

Because slippers are so much comfier and easier to take off when you want to lay down on the couch/go to bed and don’t have to take shoes off to put other shoes on when going outside.

I think it’s more a case of needing to be idiot proof and provide the correct answer every time. Some people using it may have been trained but they also may be absolutely useless at using technology. Google may be simple but it doesn’t give you exactly what you’re looking for and all the relevant information on the first attempt.

It might out millions of lives at risk (extremely low risk) whereas we know that CO2 from burning coal is putting billions of lives at risk.

OneDrive, because despite never purposely using it that’s where word defaults to after every update, so Microsoft can get more of your data.

Lol I could probably get that kitchen for like $8000. Who the fuck did they hire?

It would be so much easier if drink companies just used standardized containers instead of making their own homemade special designs to try and look fancy.

Orange juice was fine in a 2L cardboard box. We just recently got a jug of Tropicana or some shit and it’s some fancy moulded pitcher shape with a spout and flip up plastic lid. That just makes everything more difficult, especially recycling because it will be a pain to rinse out I bet.

I had to buy an expansion slot to give my PC more USB ports lol

But it’s my own fault

I have my keyboard, my mouse, my mouse pad wich is powered for a USB slot on it that I use to dock my wireless controlled, an external CD tray, aired headphones, a little USB powered desktop fan, USB flashdrive, and a USB cable I keep plugged in to easily plug in another device if I need like my phone

They know. Most likely they have the dog in the cage because without doing so it probably causes damage when they leave. Chewed furniture, garbage cans, window blinds, etc. also the barking probably starts as soon as they put them in the cage because it will associate the cage with being separated.

Complain to your local bylaw officers. Most cities have noise bylaws, tell them to show up sometime when the neighbour is at work so they can witness the noise themselves and mention it happens every day and that they refuse to rectify the situation.

Personally I think it’s all bullshit. We should be able to write off so much shit as regular people but can’t.

Sure, maybe I make $60,000 a year, but I also spend $5000 in gas to commute to work, $4000 a year in car payments for a vehicle that I primarily use to commute to work, $2000 a year in insurance for said vehicle, and maybe $1000 a year for repairs for said vehicle.

Who’s going to let me write off $12,000 a year for the privilege of getting to my job?

My first thought was the rivian R1S because of the brake light shape

Nice. I have a dog but no kids so I guess I can afford to have one or two more and still come out ahead of others in terms of carbon foot print.

I mean, most pets are a luxury but not all, depending on how you define pet.

Many service dogs and emotional support animals are absolutely necessary for physical and mental health, but then you could also define those as not necessarily being “pets” but rather “tools” for healthcare. Anything where the human is not dependent on the animal is definitely a luxury though and not necessary in the slightest.

Damn. So if this is the only thing you did related to healthcare in the past year it really cost $1850.

I really don’t understand why there is anyone against universal health insurance in the states.

Pretty much everyone is guaranteed to get major hospital bills at some point in their life. They are paying massive fees to insurance companies to line their pockets instead of hospitals to provide better service.

Sure, taxes will go up a bit to cover it, but what you’ll pay in taxes over your lifetime is going to be no where near what you pay in insurance and healthcare procedures.

I pay $0 annually for insurance, and I can walk in to see my doctor at any moment to consult on something for $0, and if something needs to happen I can get blood work and X-rays for $0, then go to the hospital for surgery for $0 (maybe a $5 parking pass).
