Congrats, you've won at ADHD.

From what I read on other posts, it sounds like Geico was the one not following suit because nobody else would insure it in the first place.

I like that the image referenced has the polecat sitting on a pole.

Easy. I'm the new CEO of the company we set up there. Employee salary is an expenditure, and being a company in that country, it qualifies for that rebate unless there's more details I'm missing. I was also grossly over-simplifying in my original comment, I'm sure it's more complicated than that. I also just attribute Hollywood Accounting (see other commenter's post) to anything listed as a box office loss.

"I lost $100 million dollars making this movie. Coincidentally, I also paid myself $100 million to make this movie."

"As the CEO, if I pay myself $100 million for making this movie, I will get $25 million of that back from government reimbursement."

No big budget movie will ever make a profit because they make sure the big wigs get paid the amount the profit would have been. It is intentional.

I have no idea, but I just assume at this point that even mentioning Lemmy on that site would result in either a ban or a shadowban from Spez's lackeys.

Dead communities or Bot communities. Pick one.

There's a few smaller communities on reddit that I like that don't have a presence here, which is unfortunate. I feel ya.

It's like the Loreal Kids shampoo deal. "No more tears" was the slogan, but it still hurt your eyes. They claimed "tears" was like tearing your hair, not tears in your eyes, even though in the commercials they pronounced it "teer" and not "tare."

When money is worthless, their only commodity will be promises, and that won't fill our belly.

Reddit is only good for massively reposted memes at this point. Any real communities with any semblance of civility are better on Lemmy, in my opinion, thanks to Reddit's policy of shooting themselves in the foot.

Edit: even with memes, I've found Lemmy to be the better option.

One can be folded into oragami. The other can be shot from a slingshot. I am truly enlightened.

Another reason why I'm glad I made the switch to Lemmy.

I worked at home depot, and our manager made people sign a form before having a Hi-Lo load a pallet of floor tile into their truck because it would cause their suspension to bottom out. They'd do it, and drive off with zero leeway on their shocks.

We had one guy come in bragging about how his super-expensive hydraulic suspension could handle it. We loaded 2 pallets of tile into his truck bed. I bet he felt every little crack in the road driving to the job site.

Aren't submarines supposed to sink?

Web page was actually an image! Whoops! (I get this error a lot)

Like, literal skeletons? Or metephorical ones? Either way, I'm pretty sure we'll find both

It looks like something you could lift up, like a sewer cover or something. Some madlad probably swapped them.

Honestly, I went to a small sling backpack to get everything out of my pockets. It gets uncomfortable, but I didn't realize it because I was putting everything in my pockets for so long. Sitting with one side higher because of my wallet in my back pocket, and a big bulky phone shoved against my thigh, etc. Now I have a belt case for my phone and everything else in my bag, and jeans have never been more comfortable.
