What is sales tax?

Also property tax I believe but not totally sure

Texas also has lots and lots of road tolls, which disproportionately affect lower income people

social mobility has been steadily declining in the US, as the profits of the 1% increase. the rich have a stranglehold on this country and it's only getting worse as time goes on. the language used in the OP is the same type of bullshit used by the folks responsible for this.

Why not a 15 option? That's when most kids go through driver's ed.

because i poorly worded the title.

Well I do agree children's books should not have lewd and sexual content.

but is it really the government's job to police that content? why does the GOP care so much about "freedom" and "personal responsibility" in other instances, but feel the need to impose strong regulation on content in this case?

put a "rating" on the book, like we do with all other media, and let parents decide what's appropriate for their kids.

learned to drive / got your license.

when i was growing up in the 90s, it seemed like we all couldn't wait to get our driver's license and have our own transportation. but it seems like "kids these days" are less motivated to drive. my niece didn't get her license until she was 18, and her parents applied pressure for her to finally do it. i've noticed this with her friends as well.

"the party of small government"
"the party of states rights"
"the party of personal responsibility"
"the party of strong family units"
"the party of .... who are we kidding anymore? we're just bigoted fascists"

i watched it out of obligation at first, but i completely lost interest and don't pay any attention to the brand anymore.

edit: i strongly suspect if any of this new content was identical in story / characters / writing but with a different skin that was not "Star Wars", people wouldn't care half as much. like, replace the "Empire" with a generic "big bad government entity" and "Blaster rifles" with "generic gun", and replaced all of the nostaliga inducing callbacks with new lore, etc., nobody would care.

given his track record, i suspect this is stock price manipulation. he wants people to worry the company will tank after this, so the value drops, so he can buy it for less. or something, because everything this fuckboy does is to enrich himself in some way and im so tired of hearing about him.

they got divorced, though, so she is no longer his wife?

But the head to head "I want it all" comparison is basically the same, cost-wise.

Pay $200 a month for "everything" on cable, or $200 a month by subscribing to 8 different streaming services.

sure, but the advantage to streaming is that, if i want, i can only have part of it and only pay part of the cost. with cable, every channel was lumped into one, giant package. or, at best, a "basic" option with like 30 channels, or "all 150+ channels".

now i can pick and choose which channels i want and only pay for those.

Why not use poppy seeds, which are already black

black sesame seeds are a normal thing, though. i assume they use 'em because the normal buns have sesame seeds?

but yeah, that super artificial color of the bun looks nasty

it's the only orange soda that does, i think. but it only has 19mg, which is ~1/5 a cup of coffee

i love caffeine, but dont drink soda or energy drinks. i use caffeine pills when i dont have convenient access to coffee or tea, but know i'll need caffeine. sometimes i'll chop one in half if i only want 100mg (one cup of coffee).

caffeine pills are one of the cheapest sources of caffeine. i think the only cheaper ones are, like, the super duper cheap coffee (ex: Walmart store brand).

the big difference is that you can pick and choose which streaming services you want and only pay for the ones you're actively using. vs cable, where it was "you get, and pay for, all 150 channels, even if you only care about two or three." the people who bitch and moan about the price being outrageous probably subscribe to every single one. every single month. how about you subscribe to one or two, watch some stuff you want to see, then cancel those and pick up a new service or two. rinse, repeat.

no, and that sounds like the take of a bitter individual.

i earned my internship by applying for it and being selected based on my grades and how i interviewed. i was offered a job by that company when i graduated.

i don't eat meat, eggs or dairy, so that leaves me with the bagel. so, no.

Is it only free if you owned the previous game? It honestly feels very similar. Just a couple new maps and heroes.

it's a glorified content update / patch that moved the game to F2P

the panties thing makes sense because panties are close to the crotch, which is inherently sexual. they also make direct contact with private parts, again, inherently sexual.

but feet? like, just why?

It's the polar opposite of the MCU in terms of how planned out it was creatively.

which was so disappointing. i saw how awesome and planned out the MCU was and was briefly hopeful for a similar, well crafted universe for Star Wars.

but nope. and Disney made billions of dollars by doing it the way they did, so i have zero hope it'll ever get on Marvel's level.

Disney went into the Sequel Trilogy with no real plan, because planning costs money and Disney knows they could shit in a box, slap "Star Wars" on it and still make a billion dollars. and guess what? that's exactly what happened.

plants feel pain

the only ethical food is lab grown

i'll conceed your point that "plants feel pain" just for the sake of argument here. so, assuming that has merit, the scale of pain and suffering caused by growing and harvesting plants is considerably less than growing and harvesting from animals. at least the plant is a happy little plant until harvest time, unlike factory farmed animals which spend almost the entirety of their lives in pain and suffering. just because something isn't "100% ethical" does not mean it can't be "more ethical" than the alternatives, that's a poor argument.

no matter what we do or eat, there is bound to be some negative impact. simply transporting food causes environmental damage via pollution and a myriad of other negative side effects. we shouldn't strive for perfection because that's unrealistic, and just because we cannot achieve it does not mean we shouldn't try to be as best as we can.

this is like how people attack almond milk for being environmentally ineffective. yes, that's true, but it's significantly less damaging than cow milk. just because the impact isn't zero doesn't make it not worth doing.
