Abridged version, companies can only deduct donations THEY make from their income, not donated by customers. None of that money is counted as income (that part is literally basic business accounting), they're just serving as the holding/collecting agent for the charity. Sure, they're usually angling to squeeze good PR from how much $$ they helped the charity raise, and the charity may be their own foundation (or just kinda suck in general), but it's illegal for them to deduct those donations.

0:55- not how that works. At all This is one of those perpetual pieces of misinformation that never dies. Sigh.

Realistically a bit longer, assuming you invest it, because the $2.5 million has a higher starting principal balance to begin compounding. Personally, I'd probably take the $2.5 million, because even though it's less money over the long term, the practical logistics of converting hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of pennies into more usable currency each and every year would be a NIGHTMARE.

#4 Maybe it's a crazy expensive housing market wherever this person is, but I have a hard time believing they're asking $830k. And if that's the materials and quality they're trying to peddle for "new construction", make a note of what company that is so you can stay WAY the hell away from anything those clowns have ever touched.

I myself might have gone with Living on a Prayer instead, but differing music tastes aside- both an awesome achievement for him, and fun to see his family celebrating it.

I'm pretty sure it's meant to be ironic/mocking to Muslims.

The material is not. The author on the other hand, very much is. And not in a "oh they had this one bad tweet, and the internet never lets it go", way, they are very vocally and publicly anti-trans.

This. MAYBE this is something both parties will be okay with, but tbh it mostly just comes off like a HUGE red flag where the person is going to be an uncompromising "my way or the highway" asshole in the relationship.

God I am so tired of the bootlicking gravy seal LARPers who continue to spout his propaganda about being the most pro 2A administration.

Eh. I'm not sold she was in on it, but she certainly seems to have come around to some of the silver linings awful quickly.

Relative to the manpower and armament a peer nation would be able to mobilize and deploy, they are. Not inconsequentially so, but for a direct military confrontation, they're at a SEVERE disadvantage. They have a much greater chance for victory in the war (at least as things presently stand) but that's due to their objectives being more achievable, while the tools and strategies they can use to achieve them WON'T come from military action (because this isn't that kind of war).

It's not exactly a difficult prediction. He's stupid, short-sighted, and narcissistic enough to think that starting a war would be just the thing to boost his poll numbers, and as a Islamic fundamentalist state with a relatively weak military, Iran has been a potential target for nearly 50 years.

Maybe, but suing them A- is expensive, and B: kind of relies on them being an actual legitimate business, and not just one of the nine million low-effort shell companies that throw out a shitty product for a few months, only disappear and show up again with a new name once people start to get wise to their shit.

It's because it's not strategy, it's pure ego stroking, which is dumb as shit when everyone KNEW Trump would suck (and yet Harris STILL lost). He's a fascist clown, who's doing fascist clown shit.

Potentially not even necessarily assuming, because Indeed is notorious for companies listing "openings" they have no actual intention of filling. But it costs them relatively little to out some feelers out, do some real cursory weeding through resumes, and throw together a list of fifty decent candidates to have on hand. If the casualties ramp up within the next few months and they need more people, they can just start making calls to find whoever is still available.

They should, but unfortunately the consequences for this kind of frivolous BS rarely actually compensates the defendants for having to mount a defense for this BS.

It really is. International relations between Europe and both Israel and the US is the most tense that it's really ever been, and (if they continue to play their cards right) all the anger and frustration in their retaliatory strikes is deflected onto their own enemies, because they were the aggressors. I'm honestly not entirely sure if this was a surprisingly smart play by Iran, or if Trump/Israel have just so utterly fucked their own international standing that even fucking IRAN in the /1

I was thinking more like an alcoholic telling you that you're wasted and should probably turn over your keys, but... yeah.

This entire thing has just left me spinning. Like... fucking hell AN AI COMPANY is being the voice of reason about there needing to be constraints and limitations to prevent misuse of this technology. DO THEY REALIZE HOW INSANE THAT IS?

I wouldn't say they're trash, but... they're not that great. It's like something in the "meh" mechanics, "blah" character models, repetitive quests, etc all worked JUST well enough that they fade into the background where I don't really notice or care. But I've never quite been able to quite put my finger on exactly WHY so many elements being so vanilla work as well as they do.

Counterpoint- Skyrim demonstrates that an open world with seven million copy/paste quests (talk to this person, go to this place and kill some draugr/bandits/falmer, talk to a person) can still be fucking awesome.
