Then you have to run a restaurant which are notoriously low-margin anyway. Just make fake a bunch of fake sales so the money comes out clean, needing to effectively manage a restaurant is a lot of overhead for someone who may have no interest in running a legitimate business.

Obligatory HP Lovecrafts cat name reference.

I agree with the sentiment but this definitely didn't begin with Dump. We've been getting increasingly fucked by corpos for decades, Cheeto is just the most recent.

Yeah imagine you have a medical emergency or a fire or something and EMTs/firefighters come in and get caught in your boobytrap. Very not cool thing to do, those people are trying to save your life.

edit: if your concern is actually people coming in while you sleep you can get very effective barricades/reinforcements for doors and windows that can buy a lot of prep time.

Have you ever met any Evangelical Christians?

I was raised Baptist and the rebuilding of Temple Mount/the Third Temple (destroying the dome of the rock in the process) is religious doctrine. They believe it has to happen for the messiah to return.

They eagerly await WWIII in the middle east as part of their end times prophecies. I've met dozens (easily) who'll get there in a conversation, but you have to talk to them as a believer.

I commented elsewhere but the subscription model is what I'm seeing pop up a lot. You can buy a shitty/fast 3 minute wash for $15 or the good-soapy-with-undercarriage one for $25, OR you can buy the ultra-mega-unlimited monthly washes card for $32 or something.

Enough people buy the $32 unlimited one and only go one time that it’s basically free money. But if you’re going to get at least two washes per month; well, you should just get the unlimited and go 3 times. It’s all very clever and deceptive and designed to extract the most money from you.

A handful of years ago that same wash was $7 and no club/subscription existed.

I am a man that's made of meat, you're on the internet looking at feet.

Come to find out, thanks to bidets thorough, frictionless cleaning they're incredible for people who suffer from hemorrhoids. They're really hygienic and beneficial and everyone should just get on board already.

We got a new toilet several months ago and it took some time for the new bidet to get here. Those couple weeks have never felt more disgusting and it removed absolutely any doubts about their superiority.

These people have nothing, left reactionaries are just as clueless as the right.

Some of them are weird where I am because you can buy a shitty/fast 3 minute wash for $15 or the good-soapy-with-undercarriage one for $25, OR you can buy the ultra-mega-unlimited monthly washes card for $32 or something.

I bet enough people buy the $32 unlimited one and only go one time, that it's basically free money to them. But if you're going to get at least two washes per month, you have to get the unlimited to get the better price. It's all very clever and designed to get the most value from you.

They all have "free" vacuums though, for paying customers.

Such a magical little town and one of my favorite comfort shows.

Rabbits scream when you kill them, so yeah... it's unpleasant.
