No. Most people round to the nearest whole number and often just pick a direction to round.

Since no one does math in their head anymore the total is always more than they expected. No calculators on shopping carts anymore either.

Ha! That’s what they want.

Now add the sales tax. And don’t forget about bag fees and to tip Tippy.

People suck at math and this is how they confuse people into not caring what the actual price becomes when they have to add multiple items together.

What’s 19.99 + 21.75 + 4.99 + 3.99 + 1.99? Can the common person do that math in their head while grocery shopping? What about adding the tax to that total? Not a chance.

Most people probably don’t even know what the sales tax is in their own state.

Yup.

Money. That’s how.

This is why GW Bush and Trump got elected. There is about 30% that will always vote for R.

Recycling was the big lie the corporations forced down everyone’s throat. They shifted the blame from those who produce plastic products to those who consume them. They slowly replaced all packaging materials with plastic in the name of convenience and saving money and weight.

Later, when recycling was deemed not be effective enough and the corporations needing a new scapegoat, They rebranded and green washed everything. Now every corporation has a mission statement than includes their commitment to environmental responsibility. While in the background they’re selling their carbon credits and laughing at gullible people who believe the current bullshit they pass off as environmentalism.

Sadly, I haven’t read that one. I’ll add it to the reading list.

Go back to bed, America. Your government has figured out how it all transpired. Go back to bed, America. Your government is in control again. Here. Here’s American Gladiators. Watch this, shut up. Go back to bed, America. Here is American Gladiators. Here is 56 channels of it! Watch these pituitary retards bang their fucking skulls together and congratulate you on living in the land of freedom. Here you go, America! You are free to do what we tell you! You are free to do what we tell you! -Bill Hicks

Season one was so good. I couldn’t barely finish season two. The writing and the acting were both just bad.

Ads have ruined everything.

TSMC’s leadership dismissed Altman as a “podcasting bro” and scoffed at his proposed $7 trillion plan to build 36 new chip manufacturing plants and AI data centers.

This is how we get Terminators in this timeline?!

Trust me, I’m a tech bro.

Commercial fishing is terrible not only for the environment but leaves a large amount of trash in the ocean. It creates a ton of micro plastics and fucks up entire biomes.

Hemp it would be a viable alternative due to its rot resistant properties.

Can we ban plastics in the fishing industry next?

Totally worth it.

I don’t think the movie was that bad. Sure was predictable, but it was fun.

I still don’t truly understand how the international Community still lets this bullshit fly. How many humanitarian missions hospitals and reporters are they gonna be allowed to kill before somebody fucking does something about this?
