I think what they are saying is that they’d rather the burden be distributed equitably across the populace instead of placing the burden entirely on good people.

It ends up being net zero. They’re only writing off the money you donated. They still have to count the money you donated towards their overall revenue, increasing their tax bill, but then they pass the donation on, allowing them to write it off, reducing their overall revenue (and thus their tax bill) to what it would have been if you hadn’t donated.

Thank you for your service! You saved me from having to do it haha.

Cool, latch on the least important reason we did it and ignore the others while acting like you’re somehow superior for doing so I guess.

The wolves were driven off for a reason. They had a tendency to snack on pets, livestock and small children until they learned to fear us. Those issues all come back if they stop fearing us again.

I mean, kinda yes, kinda no. We generally weren’t hunting predators primarily for meat, but for community safety. The meat from predators was a byproduct of not wanting a bear or something to decide our children would make for a tasty snack.

It’s just those predators were also what kept prey populations under control, so now we have to take over that role in order to prevent their extinction. Left to their own devices, they’ll overgraze and kill the areas ability to support them, and then they all die because the area won’t necessarily bounce back quickly enough as they die of starvation.

My next computer will be Linux because of all this nonsense. The only thing that was keeping me on Windows was gaming, and Valve has solved that issue for every game I play via Proton. Sayonara MicroSlop!

Aircraft wings operate on pretty much the same principle as bird wings do. We just used a technology we had already developed (fans, essentially) to create the forward movement necessary to create the airflow over the wings for lift. We know how to do it the bird way too, but restrictions in material science at scale make the fan method far easier and less error prone.

A Dollar Tree opened near me in Canada within the last year. Now don’t get me wrong, our local Dollarama isn’t amazing or anything, but that Dollar Tree is embarrassingly bad by comparison. 75% of a shelves were just straight up empty, and what was actually on the shelves was so cheaply made that I’d be embarrassed to give it away, let alone charge what they were trying to charge for it.

There was one aisle pretty well stocked though. They had an entire aisle dedicated exclusively to bibles. What the actual fuck?

For a modern military, in a general sense, yes, the F35 is the best currently. Mostly due to it’s software and sensor suite which have a much larger impact on mission performance. It’s built to an assumption of US support, which means good runways and resilient supply lines. Russian fighters are out for the same reason US fighters should be out right now (can’t trust the government).

Canada is looking for new fighters, where I think the Gripen is actually better than the F35 for our specific use case (almost entirely defensive, rough runways in arctic conditions that the F35 struggles with, need for lower maintenance requirements due to manpower and budget issues). The Swedes deal with the same conditions we need a fighter for, plus they offered a full tech transfer to revitalize our aerospace industry and help achieve autonomy for operation of the Gripen.

Oooo, egg enema, good idea! Gotta get them gains bro!

Yes, show, not give. There is a huge difference. In person, you can show them and know that they don’t have a copy squirrelled away somewhere. With digital, you have to give them a copy, and you have no real way of knowing if they kept a copy or not. And given how untrustworthy these corpos are, they almost certainly did.

If they already have our information, then they don’t need our ID for any legitimate purpose.

Blessed be His webby feet and adorable flippers.

Fewer than will if they continue to do nothing.

Sure, but republicans don’t care if their candidate is sane (obviously). Democrats do.

You wouldn’t be suggesting they’re a damn dirty no good liar, would you? :P
