  • They eat hella fruit off my fruits trees. And when I say eat, I mean take 3 bites and drop it on the ground to grab a new one and take 3 bites.

    They waste 50 apricots to eat 3 apricots.

    Until I started taking all the ground fruit and boiling it in a pot to make fruit juice for brandy distilling, it was a complete waste. Now it’s still wasteful, because I’d rather eat the fruit, but at least I recover something from it.

    Fuck squirrels.








  • It is true. And that’s OK. Failure to change with the times and to learn from scientific advancements and social improvements is a conservative trait.

    You are accurate, but it begs the question: Is not changing your opinions with time and new info a respectable way to live your life? Will you be on the right side of history? Who knows? But I feel like giving people more options is more often better than the alternative.


  • There used to be a an armed security guard that would pick up the money from the Starbucks across the street from my last job that gave me the same impression as this little guard.

    He was 400lbs+ and I always thought “If something happens to this guard he’s not chasing anyone down. He’s gonna shoot em.” Tiny guards make me think the same. I hope she doesn’t have a gun.

    I used to believe this too. I was corrected and informed that if it collected as a donation it is not the company making the donation and they can not gain tax benefits from it. They also aren’t paying a sales tax on that money either.

    The benefit is exclusively the good PR from arranging the donation, which to be fair, they did. If the donation came through a credit card they may have covered the ~3% transaction fee, although they could potentially write that off for the portion that the donation increased the fee by.


  • Yes this is how sovereignty is maintained. This duality is why other members of the international community can refuse to follow ICC declarations one year and support the other years.

    The United States doesn’t release that control willingly. Others would have to make them if they feel it’s that important.

    Until someone can take that authority, they retain it.
