The POS gives 20%, 25%, and 30% tip options, too.
I love that this sentence works no matter if you interpret that as “Point of sale” or as “Piece of shit”.
It’s $80 now, Nintendo changed it.
I regret to inform you that Nintendo is suing you for using their copyrighted trademark “Nintendo” without express written consent. That will be an additional $80/per minute to exist. Failure to pay will result in no longer existing.
I’m sorry, but your comment violates my software patent on the concept of posting jokes on social media. That will be $2500, I only accept PayPal™.
*per minute friend, corporations only care if it costs more to do it the wrong way. $2500/min vs their $80/min
“Excuse me, but my moldy bread has maggots in it.”
“Gonna have to charge you extra for the maggots.”
And the mold. Oof, thats a drug prevursor. Gonna be a lot if you dont have good insurance. Also if you do.
I’ve already called the DEA, please pay quickly and leave the building, or ill have to charge your next 9f kin for the window they shoot you through.
The goddamned library only has paid parking near me. What the fuck man.
Some disadvantaged people here are expected to fax certain forms to certain ministries. I eventually learned how and how to advise them how.
The library costs $1 per page. The insurance company across the street does it for free. I am not usually anti-library but why charge to send a fax? Like, receiving costs a small amount of toner, sure, but when scanning at the rate of $1 per page, you should be considered criminal.
That’s insane… libraries are the only place I see the ¢ symbol anymore. 10¢ per page for color in the law library I work in, and we make a profit on that.
Your library has dedicated parking?
Walk? Take a bus?
Depends on how practical that is for them. :/
So they’re paying to have their comfort two tons of murderous steel accommodated? That seems fair.
So they’re paying to have their comfort two tons of murderous steel accommodated?
Or, I don’t know, basic personal safety? What’s the alternative? Walk 2 miles with a small child through busy areas with minimal sidewalks?
Yeah, I’m really going to endanger my child just because I want them to be able to visit the library 🙄.
I don’t like carbrained people, but you’re just as bad, if not worse. I’d love to use public transport or walk places, but that’s not always a safe option. So I have to deal with what I have available, and I can rightly criticize something without having to voice every single one to some mollify some um akshually chode.
cars are dangerous; i must, by whatever means become part of the problem!
Sure thing!
you’re just as bad as people who make it literally unsafe for my child to go outside for fear they will be killed
Yeah, because thd villain who forces you to pay a small fee for being part of the problem is totally the antagonist in a generic western movie or fascist crime-snuff film. Totally equivalent.
im just gonna say whatever i think i can say to feel like you’re mean and i dont need to listen to you because i kinda know you’re right
Hot.
im just gonna say whatever i think i can say to feel like you’re mean and i dont need to listen to you because i kinda know you’re right
Projection, because you know you’re being an ass and don’t want to admit it to yourself.
I’m just gonna say whatever i think i can say to feel like you’re mean and i dont need to listen to you because i kinda know you’re right
this is an EXTREMELY privileged statement to say. But, just for fun, I’ll play along with you.
If I were to take public transportation to the nearest public library leaving right now I would walk 2 hours and 5 minutes. I would then wait 19 hours and 39 minutes for the next train. I would then walk 34 more minutes. I would then wait about an hour for it to open.
once I am done getting what I need, let’s say it takes me 30 minutes, I will walk 34 minutes, then wait 6 hours and 4 minutes for the train to come back. I then would walk 2 hours and 5 minutes back to my house.
that is, 12:40 + 2 hours 5 min + 19 hours 39 min + 34 min + 1 hour + 30min + 34 min + 6 hours 4 min + 2 hours 5 min
or,
32 hours and 31 minutes
or I could drive 35 minutes there and 35 back, including the time for traffic.
We have no busses, the trains are >2 hours away, Republicans blocked the idea of making trams around the City, and I DONT EVEN HAVE SIDEWALKS FOR A LOT OF IT.
And if I need to piss? THERES NO GENDER NEUTRAL BATHROOMS ANYWHERE!
I CANT FUCKING TAKE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION, REPUBLICANS RUINED IT
stop recommending it.
It is unironically faster to WALK THE WHOLE WAY
walk the whole way
Or bike, yeah. That’s what i do when i live rural, depending on terrain. Nobody for miles, headphones in one ear with an audiobook or something, you don’t need to schedule a separate workout so the time cost is smaller than it appears, and you impress everyone with how fit and coordinated you are.
no gender neutral bathrooms
Okay so im originally from san francisco, and we have a have a solution for this:
When there are no bathrooms, anything you want can be a bathroom!
Remember to kill the cameras. Which you should be doing anyway.
republicans ruined it
Have you given your local fascists half the vitriol you offered me here? I assume the answer is no.
I don’t mean ticking a box. I mean going down to their offices, or at least calling them up, and just talking like this until the shock absorber hangs up or threatens to call security?
I get the sense no. You just want to feel good about uour car.
this is literally what landlords do
worse than that.
it’s something I can existential labour.
if you rent, and are good and neighbourly, just by existing you create value. but it’s value in property you don’t own, and then you have to pay more rent or get evicted so someone will can afford to live there can enjoy to be part of the community you helped build.
there should be no friendly laws towards land parasites.
It should be illegal to rise rent prices or evict tenants who pay rent and aren’t a nuisance. if the rent is 400$and you live there for 10 years, the rent is still 400$.
if the land lord doesn’t like it, he can sell the house and get a real job.
Regional park I went to last weekend charged for parking. So being the broke bitch I am, I parked in a Walmart parking lot a mile away and walked in.
Car brains suggesting that their comfort two ton murder machines being accommodated literally everywhere is a central part of ‘existing’. Love it.
I get your point but one has to be realistic. It takes me half an hour to get to the park by car, it would take me like at least an hour, multiple transfers, and lots more walking if I go by bus.
My region isn’t even impossible to use public transit either it’s just way more convenient with cars and public transit hasn’t gotten better. I would love more frequent buses or rail system but a man can only dream.
So you’re saying cars are more convenient, and that’s why you use them? And you’re angry that you’re being charged to accommodate your car?
And you whibe about parking cosrs but don’t even mention more socially and ecologically responsible modes of transit and how they could be better until they’re brought up, and then literally as an impossible dream?
I would’ve happily paid the parking fee to support maintenance of the park don’t get me wrong, but as I stated, I’m a broke bitch right now and can’t afford paying a fee to walk in the park.
I’m not saying it’s an impossible dream, I’m saying that if you were to walk in a park a 30 min car drive away using public transit, then at least half of your day would be gone.
Going to work also takes me 45min-1hr car drive. If I take the bus and walk, my life would be a living hell.
Im saying, as a pedestrian; you don’t need to take 2+ tons and 70+ sqft of steel at 80 mph everywhere you fucking go. I don’t care how comfy or convenient it is; that shit’s crazy.
The fact that even can be accommodated is insane. Yeah you should pay. If the public transit isn’t good, that’s it’s own problem.
What? You don’t pay taxes? That’s what taxes are for. Stop being an ass. You are trying to make a point–we get it. There are better methods of transportation than cars. That’s in a perfect world where everything else is equal. Not all places are designed the same, have the same people, the same temperatures and weather, etc. We can advocate for better design, but that doesn’t help where we are RIGHT NOW.
My closest park is 2 miles away with no sidewalks for over half of it, a very busy intersection, etc. I’m not walking or biking there with my two young kids and a heat index over 100. The closest bus stop is a mile away and has no sidewalks on the way. No idea if it even heads to the closest park, but it’s not free, either.
So, taxes are for car and car enabling, which is most of what youre worried about with your children and why you must car, because there are so many dangerous cars around! Okay.
But public transit is a pipe dream?
No one said don’t invest in other options, but are you saying we can’t access parks safely while we try to update?
Safe for whom?
I loved ‘The Rockford Files’ when I was growing up.
Rewatch and notice that they used exact amounts of money in the dialog. “Hey, this is a $75.00 jacket” or “$5 for a martini?”
They don’t do that anymore, because prices from even five years ago seem insane.
I always think of the scene in Pulp Fiction where they talk about a $5 milkshake. It’s supposed to be a crazy high price for a milkshake. Like something you would see and go “Whoa, HOW much? For a milkshake?!”
That’s a much better example.
I recall in iRobot they had two beers at a bar and it was like $50.
I think we’re ahead of schedule at this rate.
Edit: $46.58 for two beers in 2035.
The 58 cents is what sells it.
Hey now, his great grandparents worked for several hours to buy that land.
“you are free”
…to die elsewhere if you can’t afford to live here.
The next part of that lie is the fallacy that we have some kind of intrinsic “freedom of speech.”
People think our “freedom” gives us a view into the rest of the world and how it’s still the best thing in the world to live in the USA.
All you have to do is open your web browser in the airport of another country. We have a sliver of perspective here, we don’t get to see what challenges other countries have overcome, from healthcare to housing the homeless to giving people actual freedoms by giving them peace of mind about their future.
If nothing else, you get to see how much the rest of the world really hates the US government and would be happy if we stopped building bases and blacksites in their countries.
Tbf, i also hate the us government and would appreciate if they stopped having military bases or black sites… Anywhere?
Every time I leave my house, it costs me $100.
Gas,tolls,maybe some food, grab some water…whatever I actually meant to do along with that…
I tried saying no once. Like, with an empty fridge, I said ‘no’. I’m not gonna go buy food. I went to bed hungry and cried myself to sleep. Saying no is not possible.
