Not sure if it's the same everywhere, but if I pull a dividend I don't pay tax initially, but when I do my income taxes it's part of my income and I'd have to pay tax on it then

Jasveen Sangha, whom prosecutors said was known as “the Ketamine Queen”, and Salvador Plasencia, a doctor known as “Dr P”, are among those indicted

I want to watch a TV show with Dr. P and the Ketamine Queen

During the whole yo-yo craze, did you accidentally break the classroom's fishtank with a yo-yo, landing you a month's worth of detention? During a detention session where the teacher is not present, you rummaged through her desk for your yo-yo and discover personal ad written by the teacher, ultimately deciding to respond to it as a prank?

The company, which operates more than 19,000 discount stores worldwide, agreed to pay the $12m fine

In March, Dollar General announced that its 2023 fiscal year operating profit was $2.4bn.

So they have 19,000 stores, on average profiting $126,000, and their share of the fine is $630?

That fine should be 12mil per day to actually see some action. One time it's just the cost of doing business

Do you know what a Shit Barometer is? Measures the Shit Pressure in the air. When the Barometer rises, and you'll feel it too, your ears will implode with the Shit Pressure. I tried to warn you, Bubs, but you picked the wrong side!
Beware, the Shit Winds are a-comin'.

"Lisa likes Millhouse"
"nobody likes Millhouse!"

Dark Nights with Poe and Munroe is the only game in my library that came up as mostly positive, and it's a...mood, for sure

Imagine if a community theatre group made a cheesy suspense/mystery film that ended up feeling like an excuse to dress up sexy. When they finished they sold it to a game studio who chopped up the video, added some quicktime events and shipped it.

Mechanically it's not great, and it's not great writing, but when I opened myself up to the silliness of it I enjoyed it

I don't think there's anything inherent in construction that is causing a higher suicide rate. Construction labourer is a job just about anyone can get and male dominated.

I've hired some people who seemed like they weren't in a great place. It's low skill and it doesn't hurt to take a chance on someone and hope the stability will help get them on the right track.

I haven't had any coworkers take their own lives, but I could see someone at the end of the rope being more likely to find a job on a construction site instead of a dentists office

That's pretty much how it goes. For the first few months you find yourself in line without a bag, so you pay an extra couple bucks. Now I've got enough reusable bags in my car it's not a big deal anymore

Last month, Wells Fargo reportedly fired over a dozen employees for using tools that fake productivity at work.

Wells Fargo has approximately 194K employees as of May 2024

So 0.006% of their employees?

I'd guess Heart Shaped Box and About a Girl, for starters

I just checked back and that picture is gone from the article. It had a crowd of people with 4 or 5 if them holding up signs on what looked like printer paper with messages like "protect our students" but the signs and fonts looked unnaturally crisp, almost like a meme template

I don't agree with his Bart-killing policy... but I do approve of his Selma-killing policy

Why does the picture in that article look so fake? Is it just the lighting? The signs look like a terrible photoshop

I found it to be saccharine garbage. I struggled through one season because I always heard good things and I truly hated it by the end. It's on the level of Paw Patrol for dramatic tension

“We want tourists that come to enjoy the country and the culture, but not tourists who come for sex.” Hamat Bah, Gambia’s minister of culture and tourism, also stated in a television interview: “If you want a sex destination, you go to Thailand”; a statement for which he later had to apologize

Wild comment

That's what I'm talking about! That's for digging that up. It just never passed the smell test for me, I always called bs

Ahhh damn! I was about to board a plane and didn't bother googling it, mixed him up with the footballer

Oh no, not the mbappe Mpemba effect effect. I refuse to accept that as a real thing, there is just no way the warm water freezes faster. I've read dozens of articles about it, eventually finding some that confirmed for me it's probably just measuring error or subtle differences that aren't being noticed. But that left me thinking if I had to search so hard for the one article that confirms my gut instinct I shouldn't lean into it too hard

Like you have two cups of identical water, eventually the warm water becomes the cold water. If I then use that previously warm water as my cold water and start the experiment over with another glass of warm water, what now? And don't tell me water has memory.

My favorite explanation is imagine two cars on a track 100 meters long. The far end is the track is hard asphalt and cars can drive fast. The track gets rougher and muddier the closer you are to the finish line, so the first 50 meters are covered in seconds, the next 25 meters are slower, and the final 5 meters the cars are crawling. You start one car at the 100 meter line and one starts at 10 meters. If you're observing this race from the top of a 50 storey building above the track, you'd understandably think "wow, that car that started far away was so much faster! For sure it won" even though in the last few feet it was neck-and-neck.
