Neither of these are outright bans, and the results are mixed. If banning worked then Nigeria wouldn’t have 4.6 million people abusing opiates.

Since individuals aren’t 501©3 non-profits it wouldnt be tax deductible and is treated by the IRS as a gift, so a gift tax may apply depending on amount given. Just in case you were curious as to why it’s not a tax write-off.

Close. He died on 4/30, he was born on 4/20. But there were many deaths at Columbine High School on 4/20/1999.

“Hard lemonade could mean anything.”

They have signs up listing how much caffeine is in them, which by the way, isn’t legally mandated. The only requirement the FDA has on caffeine labeling is that it’s listed as an ingredient. That’s it. The amount of caffeine doesn’t have to be disclosed.

So if the amount of caffeine is known, what more do they need to do before it becomes the consumer’s responsibility? Your argument is that it’s dangerous, but alcohol is much more dangerous than what is known from the surgeon General warning, and its dangerous to those not consuming it as well.

You can’t treat it different because of the novelty of the item, in which case maybe the FDA needs to mandate all drugs to have warning labels, not just OTC and alcohol.

Alcohol has warning labels on it, why are bars allowed to exist?

Scanning your own ID probably won’t be a thing since it won’t be able to determine whether the ID belongs to you or not.

Reality is covid changed the way they did it, that and many stores closing on Thanksgiving. Then they realized they could still make a similar amount of money with less risk to people and property. And with digital retail becoming more popular they’ll lose less product to theft and damages if you ship from a warehouse or have a personal shopper get it for you and bring it to your car instead of going into an overcrowded store.

Employees are less stressed, everyone is safer, and sales numbers are the same or better.

Good catch, I didn’t even notice the percentages. I did look at the date but of course the meal was purchased on the one day this month where that’s not helpful

Let’s see… dollar sign? Well that cuts out a lot of the world. Written in English, so that leaves about 3 countries. Australia doesn’t have a tipping culture the same way we do in North America so that leaves either Canada or the US, in which case you can replace state with province and cover your bases.

Dogma is something that is “incontrovertibly” true. Science doesn’t work that way, you can’t just believe gravity doesn’t exist and then the Earth stops orbiting the sun. You can’t just decide water only freezes at 0°C regardless of pressure. But you can believe that abortion is a grave sin and murder a doctor for it.

What you’re saying is when people attempt to twist data to support their preconceived beliefs. For instance Belgians used phrenology to confirm their belief that Tutsis were superior to Hutus and fuel the Rwandan genocide. They already believed their racist dogma and attempted to use “science” to prove it. But science doesn’t have a bias, and it has no dogma.

And no, it’s not a typo. Darwin purported the idea that offspring of sexual organisms received their traits through gemmules shed by each organ of the body. Another scientist reviewed this theory by analyzing rabbit blood and found no gemmules, because those only exist in asexual reproduction, sponges specifically. The lack of evidence of gemmules essentially proves the theory of pangenesis wrong.

Nope, this is wrong, because science doesn’t have “beliefs” it has theories, which change based on evidence, peer review, and experiments. How often do you see atheists congregate in a laboratory, with a scientist leading a sermon from “On the Origin of Species”? Darwin got things wrong too, but you don’t see different sects of atheism who argue over whether individual traits are passed down to Offspring via genes or gemmules. Because one has evidence and peer review to back it up, and one lacks evidence because it was peer reviewed.

They can’t deduct the $2 donation if you made the donation at POS. It doesn’t count as income for them, and it shows up on your receipt, so they do not legally get to write off that $2.

If you pay the donation you get the tax write-off, regardless of whether you donate through a grocery store, directly through the charity, or through your paycheck. It’s on your receipt and you can claim it. The store cannot legally claim the tax write-off that you made because it is not income for them, they are simply holding the money.

Now in this case where they are donating a portion of the sales, this is what’s called a commercial co-venture, and it’s a regulated activity that usually has a written arrangement to protect the non-profut. While the business does get the tax benefit since it counts as income, if you were already planning on buying a Gatorade, it doesn’t benefit you or the non-profit to buy it elsewhere just to “stick it” to the store.

Anybody can get a sunburn. The melanin in the darkest skin tone only gives a baseline SPF of around 10. While they are far less likely to get burns, it’s still possible and when they develop skin cancer it’s usually diagnosed in a later stage with a negative prognosis.

Sunburns are radiation burns, and doesn’t have to include red skin to be present.

Batman is punching the bread thief, you. So the POV is actually being used correctly this time.
