The company, which operates more than 19,000 discount stores worldwide, agreed to pay the $12m fine

In March, Dollar General announced that its 2023 fiscal year operating profit was $2.4bn.

So they have 19,000 stores, on average profiting $126,000, and their share of the fine is $630?

That fine should be 12mil per day to actually see some action. One time it's just the cost of doing business

Do you know what a Shit Barometer is? Measures the Shit Pressure in the air. When the Barometer rises, and you'll feel it too, your ears will implode with the Shit Pressure. I tried to warn you, Bubs, but you picked the wrong side!
Beware, the Shit Winds are a-comin'.

"Lisa likes Millhouse"
"nobody likes Millhouse!"

Dark Nights with Poe and Munroe is the only game in my library that came up as mostly positive, and it's a...mood, for sure

Imagine if a community theatre group made a cheesy suspense/mystery film that ended up feeling like an excuse to dress up sexy. When they finished they sold it to a game studio who chopped up the video, added some quicktime events and shipped it.

Mechanically it's not great, and it's not great writing, but when I opened myself up to the silliness of it I enjoyed it

I don't think there's anything inherent in construction that is causing a higher suicide rate. Construction labourer is a job just about anyone can get and male dominated.

I've hired some people who seemed like they weren't in a great place. It's low skill and it doesn't hurt to take a chance on someone and hope the stability will help get them on the right track.

I haven't had any coworkers take their own lives, but I could see someone at the end of the rope being more likely to find a job on a construction site instead of a dentists office

That's pretty much how it goes. For the first few months you find yourself in line without a bag, so you pay an extra couple bucks. Now I've got enough reusable bags in my car it's not a big deal anymore

Sounds like someone's got a case of Jebaditis

Last month, Wells Fargo reportedly fired over a dozen employees for using tools that fake productivity at work.

Wells Fargo has approximately 194K employees as of May 2024

So 0.006% of their employees?

I have to imagine there are times they come across a bill collector or someone either doesn't know their job or just doesn't give a shit and lets them off the hook.

You're working at Comcast in the collections department, you're having a shitty day and an envelope full of legal looking papers comes across your desk saying to void a $300 bill? Fuck it, push the 'void' button and on to the next one, who cares.

No kidding. I picked a random city in Michigan, found a nice house, new build for $390k. Mortgage is 2,652/month, which leaves $75,176 for necessities. Barely $6000/month for food, electricity and the lease on two lexii? That's not living

Ok, even if I take out income tax with no tricks to bring it down, take home is 160k. 80k/year on necessities, 48k after housing is taken out. 4000/month for utilities, food, car and gas? There's no sense breaking down a "comfortable" budget of necessities after that, this whole thing is out to lunch, as far as Petoskey Michigan is concerned

I'd guess Heart Shaped Box and About a Girl, for starters

I just checked back and that picture is gone from the article. It had a crowd of people with 4 or 5 if them holding up signs on what looked like printer paper with messages like "protect our students" but the signs and fonts looked unnaturally crisp, almost like a meme template

I don't agree with his Bart-killing policy... but I do approve of his Selma-killing policy

Why does the picture in that article look so fake? Is it just the lighting? The signs look like a terrible photoshop

I found it to be saccharine garbage. I struggled through one season because I always heard good things and I truly hated it by the end. It's on the level of Paw Patrol for dramatic tension

Is this the episode where the kids get put into foster care and they're placed with the Flanders?

Is it the episode where Bart gets kicked out of school so Marge teaches him about a book I want to say is called Johnny Tremaine who loses his hand in a war? "they should call him" Johnny Deformed"

“We want tourists that come to enjoy the country and the culture, but not tourists who come for sex.” Hamat Bah, Gambia’s minister of culture and tourism, also stated in a television interview: “If you want a sex destination, you go to Thailand”; a statement for which he later had to apologize

Wild comment

That's what I'm talking about! That's for digging that up. It just never passed the smell test for me, I always called bs
