thinking about how insane it is that australia and canada were able to rebrand from being literal white ethnostates to saying that "diversity" and "multiculturalism" is an important part of national "culture"
Canada and Australia lend support to US imperialism. said imperialism destabilizes the entire global south. people flee violence and end up in Australia and Canada. now we can celebrate "diversity"
creek kids have a right to be horrified of geese. Did yall know they fookin Hiss and are violent? hell nawl

They have a Rusty mini bot that you can buy. This is amazing.
I always see the first three panels and think “is this supposed to sound ridiculous? Bc I would love this”, completely forgetting about the last panel, which i then scroll down to and proceed to lose my shit
we have 3 different tax rates for different things (standard, reduced, and exempt) which has not yet resulted in the downfall of coporate accounting or mass bankruptcy from the effort of price adjustment
but it did lead to the absolutely spectacular Jaffa Cake Case
new blog post! part 2 of the #FuckStalkerware series, this one is pretty big!
also exclusively covered by techcrunch (less technical but more analysis than my post) here:
blog post has been updated to reflect a statement from mohammad a.
Lol too late now, but you figure out prices plus tax in the USA by: knowing what percent tax rate is in the state you are in, and multiplying the sticker price of the item by that in cents + $1.00. (Example, an item for $3.99 in a state with a 6% tax rate: $3.99 x $1.06 = $4.23). Some states don't tax food, though. With love, your friendly neighborhood cashier
And... And... Don't you folks realize how crazy this is? O_o
@cell113 sorry for 'promoting' your comment as a post, but this is the usual explanation I heard about this, and I need to show you USians something.
I just took this picture from my kitchen:
That's some pasta and couscous, bought at one of the largest supermarket chains in Europe. I want to point your attention to the text in the bag and box. The pasta bag is both in Spanish and Portuguese. The box, Spanish and french.
Due to shared distribution chains, it's extremely common for any single product to be sold in different countries of the EU. You could get that pasta bag in Porto or in Madrid. You could get the couscous in either Valencia or Marseille. The taxes in every one of those three countries are extremely different (for example, France have a 5.5% VAT on food, Portugal 6%, Spain 10%), the distribution chain is the same, the supermarket selling them is the same. The end price is different in every case. And yet, every store just labels every product with their local after-taxes price.
But what if it was all a dream
This is more unsettling. I know it's there. I know it should be there. I know this pristine landscape is hiding its horrors like teeth.
anyone remember that book by the curious george authors abt the transgender kangaroo
For those who don’t know, r/place is where you can place one single pixel on a huge canvas--and are then locked out of placing another pixel for a long while. The amount of collaboration necessary to successfully do this is incredible.
Hey Ron DeSantis hows your presidential campaign going?
For some clarification. The icon in the background is known as the Black Sun.
Nowadays it is heavily used by the extreme rightwing people.
small (but important) addition / correction here - the black sun displayed here has always been a nazi symbol and has not just “nowadays” been used by rightwing people. it was invented by the fashists of Germany leaning heavily on the symbolism they stole from old germanic or other cultures. This exact symbol is one that has not been appropriated but ORIGINATES from nazi germany and simply CAN NOT by accident be used in any other way than the way it was intended, as it utilizes the sig runes nazis appropriated for the SS.
The Black Sun motif is even less ambiguous. Though based on medieval German symbols, the Wewelsburg mosaic is a unique design commissioned specifically for Himmler, and its primary contemporary association is Nazi occultism, for which Nazi Satanic groups and esoteric neo-Nazis adopt it.
(yes I know the TERM black sun is used in many cultures all over the world but they do look different. The one used here is very clearly the nazi black sun.)
