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?

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 $80/min
this is literally what landlords do
worse than that.
it's something I can existential labour.
if you rent, and are good and neighbourly, just by existing you create value. but it's value in property you don't own, and then you have to pay more rent or get evicted so someone will can afford to live there can enjoy to be part of the community you helped build.
there should be no friendly laws towards land parasites.
It should be illegal to rise rent prices or evict tenants who pay rent and aren't a nuisance. if the rent is 400$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.
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".
You can select 0% but it takes 3 extra button presses and includes 2 prompts to make sure you really don't wanna leave a tip. And also the button is kinda worn out so you have to press it really hard and everyone knows you're using the no tip button.
If it's worn out it means everyone else is also doing it...

Is the price in the comic raising?
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.
A park near me went from $5 parking to $10 recently. It feels pretty unreasonable.

"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.
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.
