If full time Walmart employees need government assistance programs to afford food and pay their rent, is it not Walmart who is leaning on government assistance?

  • Probably the main reason for not having high value currency in the US is because a CTR would be triggered simply for having one. It would sorta make more sense to put tracking chips on them all than to individually log every transaction ever using one.

    Smaller bills let you avoid the treasury department’s checks and balances on potential criminal activity much easier.

  • I wouldn’t say our tests were perfect, just smearing it on cardboard, but we did test like 10 different ones. Few things were obvious, like that the coral reef destroying ingredient ones were more effective than the more eco ones, and that banana boat kinda sucked. Neutrogena was good and even their 15 spf was just about as dark as their 30. I think coppertone was worse than banana boat but I’d wanna retest before I recommend any of them though. My memory isn’t that good, I just remember relief that Neutrogena was good because it’s what I’ve been using.

  • If you’ve ever used a UV camera it’s pretty clear that much like lotion not absorbing after a certain point, there’s a limit to how dark your skin gets with a given sunscreen. Also that there’s a massive difference between brands and formulas. I had some photos I took with one but can’t find them. If I do later I’ll update.

    Searched but couldn’t find them. Did find a conversation though where I used it to show most cars in a parking lot have UV blocking windshields but every other window is transparent unless they have tint

  • It seems to me like they take the wrong lesson from leftism, which is that the US is usually the bad guy in most situations and they represent oligarchy interests by default, then extrapolate that to other countries opposed to the US being the good guys by default. Nuance and taking the facts at face value for every situation is much harder to explain to others as an ideology.

    They’ve also been infected with a cynicism that makes them open to grifts similar to the right. Our best fighters can’t be perfect, so they try and rip support off of them. Jimmy Dore, the Aussie green party, Jackson Hinkel, the Caleb sex pest dude, they all have criticism of everyone else while providing no real ideas of their own and how to get there. They’re just propped up as a distraction rather than a movement.
