Yes.

Ah, this again.

The mega corporation did not receive any tax benefit from collecting donations. They are able to write off the amount of donations from their income, so that they aren't paying tax on the money they collected specifically to be donated.

1. Company collects $1 donation from customer
2. Company has $1 extra income
3. Company donates $1 to charity
4. Company writes that dollar off of their income.
5. Company reports the exact same profit/loss as if they had not collected donations.

"How long has it been since we've waltzed?"

"Oh, Gomez...hours."

My preferred version:

Dude I WISH ice cream socials were more popular.

Man, you know what really gets me going? A corny zombie hit man singing showtunes.

He got old.

Note that every single one of these patents was filed after palworld was released, and they're all awfully vague about what they actually cover.

The lore is that the saarlac actually keeps you alive while digesting you. ~~Like, it puts roots in that act as life support so it has a constant source of protein or whatever. ~~ eh, that last but might not be accurate but there is some kind of enzyme in their stomach that keeps you alive? Whatever.

My brother in Christ YOU ARE THE MEDIA

FYI because the actual reasons for this feud are under-reported:

1. Colombia has been accepting deported immigrants for years without complaint. They were being sent by charter or commercial aircraft, and the Colombia government was notified ahead of time that they were coming.

2. Trump sent a group of deportees on a military aircraft

3. Trump did not notify Colombia that this aircraft was coming, and as such tried to lands a military aircraft in a sovereign state with no warning

4. Colombia said fuck that, the plane eventually landed in Honduras, and Colombia sent another plane to pick the people up from there.

5. Colombia said "what the fuck dude" and Trump the a temper tantrum

6. Side note, every single one of those deportees was arrested by the Biden admin, so it's not like this is even Trump delivering on his campaign promises. He's just doing a worse job at what Biden was already doing.

His name is canonically Mario Mario. His brother is Luigi Mario.

So like, the ad didn't even say anything about the genocide in Palestine? It just starred a half-Palestinian model?

THAT'S how you take down a Gish Gallop.

This is not how tax deductions for charitable donations work.

1. You round up to the dollar for a 50c donation
2. The business has 50c extra income
3. They write off 50c as tax deductible
4. They pay the exact same taxes whether or not you make a donation

I read once that a major reason the coffee is supposed to be good, is that the animals (in the wild) tend to seek out the ripest, healthiest coffee beans to eat. They're abundant (prior to human intervention), so why settle for less?

But then we cage them and force-feed them whatever, so they're just medium (or low) quality beans to start with. So even if you look past the cruelty, it's not even the quality of coffee the reputation suggests.

"Pele who can't defend themselves physically"

Like Elon, who pulled out of a fight he tried to start with Zuck because he'd get his ass kicked?

The 250th anniversary of the signing of US declaration of independence will be in 2026.

The state is also requiring a four-paragraph “context statement” about how the commandments “were a prominent part of American public education for almost three centuries”.

Generous rounding, there.

Reasonable chance he never wrote one and Biden just said that to pacify the media.

Tbf, even the "right" way to balance 7 tubes in 24 slots is a bit cursed of you don't look at it as a superposition.

But you've got 3 tubes in an equilateral triangle and 2 pairs mirrored across the center, so we're all good here.
