USPS was completely self-sustaining until 2006, when Congress inexplicably began requiring it to pre-fund retirement health benefits for all of its eligible employees and retirees, 75 years in advance. This unprecedented requirement cost USPS more than $5 billion per year for 16 years ... which is almost exactly the amount they were in debt.

And still, USPS maintains First Class mail delivery to every household in the country within 5 days for less than a dollar. No private carrier comes close to their price point (which USPS actually doesn't control), and many of them actually use USPS as their "last mile" carrier in rural areas where it's too costly for them to operate.

I say the military loses $750 billion a year

PSA: this Black Friday you’re gonna see Sandisk Extreme SSDs on huge markdowns. This is because they have hardware defects that cause them to fail frequently. Avoid at any price.

Every time I meet an orange cat I'm like 'aha, I know you are a normal cat, there's no link between intelligence and coat colour and I am not prey to stupid stereotypes' and every single time the cat lets me down by coincidentally being dumb as hell

This is my favorite video ever. Thank you 😍

I would like to put down my argument that Vlad is wearing eyeliner, and this is not just tired eyes/eye-bags. This doesn't negate that he might have dark under-eyes as well, but this is definitely eyeliner.

Exhibit A:

The line around Vlad's eyes are thick and solid black.

We know for a fact that they can and will animate dark under-eyes, as we see with Danny in Control Freaks here:

See! That's not eyeliner, that is the tired eyes look. This is shading, rather than a thick solid line.

Freakshow clearly has eyeliner, and this is not a leap of judgment, seeing as he is explicitly goth.

So when you compare Freakshow's obviously meant to be eyeliner, and look at Vlad, it is very clear that he's wearing eyeliner.

Now his isn't as thick as Freakshow's and the thickness depends on the frame, but it's clearly thicker than other adult characters. See Maddie in this same scene:

So there. This is my submission. Vlad is an edgelord and he's wearing eyeliner and we love that for him.

Do you think Vlad and Sam use the same brand?

I'm so sorry for adding more to this but some of these tags just slap too damn hard

Bonus:

but i'm also not sorry at all

The silence was LOUD

My husband and me in the supermarket check out line.

A cashier in Lowes literally asked me and my partner if we were best friends 🥲

thinking about how the world would be better if more people understood the differences between 'the author failed to tell the story they wanted to tell' and 'the author told the story they wanted to tell, but they told it badly' and 'the author told the story they wanted to, and they told it well, but it wasn't the story I wanted to read'

Handy guys building stuff for their pets are so wholesome 😭

The internet is a magical place because imagine how close we all came to never having witnessed this.

I am abt to lose my fuckin mind because I happened upon this gender reveal party. and like it’s soo over the top expensive

And like I’m like. Oh great, a horse themed gender reveal party.

complete with like … just truly excessive foods and of course, themed cocktails

and this sign which like… the fragility of like *not* italicizing the word ‘colt’. Like imagine being this weird abt gender

with like, a bucket that eventually ‘revealed’ the gender

But like… the picture that really just completely undid me, for this party which surely was more money than many weddings -

it’s not a horse themed gender reveal party. It’s a gender reveal party FOR A HORSE. I can’t even like imagine the life that would lead to hosting a gender reveal party for a not-yet-born horse. Think abt getting an invitation to this. the cis are at it again.

THIS IS THE BEST THING I HAVE READ ALL DAY

well this was a wild ride from start to finish

I knew before I googled that this was gonna be California and I was Not disappointed. The horse is TA Jullyens Lillyanna, she is an exceptionally fancy purebred Arabian.

Her price tag was $Car. $20k if I had to guess.

And the real kicker?

The revealed gender was wrong. #youhadonejob

you cannot make this shit up; horse people are, truly, Just Like That.
