Imagine that, scooping up cold butter on a spatula and slapping it indiscriminately on your partner’s exposed butt.

[–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Room temperature butter is superior in both sound and splatter.

I'm not sure I want to imagine that in this context. Other contexts, no problemo. Just not this one.

Might be my background - lived half my life in a country where credit cards are interest-free for religious purposes - but 10% still seems insane.

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Compare that to the ~30% I've seen, that's sadly an amazing shift (lol, which won't ever happen with the fascist caucus), but I commend Bernie for trying.

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

Which country has interest free credit cards due to religious purposes? I googled it but did not find anything.

I'd never heard of this, how do the banks make any money on the card, annual fees or something?

[–] FleetingTit 7 points 1 day ago

Processing or transaction fees. Anytime you use your card for a purchase the bank gets a cut of that. This fee can range from .1% to 4%, depending on the credit card processor.

Somehow I don't think Mr "Pro-Business" will hamper banks' efforts to fleece us.

Why doesn’t Bernie understand Trump was just joking when he said that?!

Talk about owning the libs!

Bernie can’t even get a joke!

Is Burnie trying to duck season rabbit season Trump? I'm actually curious to see if this works

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

No. He's calling trump out.

What good things that Trump did promise? I am surprised that he promised this even though we know that it won't happen.

[–] thatKamGuy@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Populists promise lots of good things; it’s just that most ring-wing populists tend to have their fingers crossed behind their back.

I work blue collar, and lots of us are hopeful he will do the tax free overtime. I think he was just saying that, and I didn't vote for him, but that would be game changer.

[–] donuts@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago (7 children)

Would it be a game changer? It means you can do overtime without being taxed for it, right? Or maybe less taxed.

That sounds like a quick and dirty way to exhaust the population even more in order to keep the bread and circus going on.

So you got the folks working 60-100 hours a week then because it makes them a lot more money, so they are just slaving their life away. Wouldn't a better fix be raising minimum wages?

[–] oo1@lemmings.world 9 points 1 day ago

That's what capitalists want, workers racing each other to the bottom.

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

What’ll actually happen under the Trump administration is that companies will be allowed to force mandatory overtime during the times they want it, and then cut your hours through the rest of the month so that your average hours are still less than 40.

What I’d like is some changes in loopholes. I worked 60-100 weeks at a movie theater as a young adult, and didn’t get overtime pay because it was the “entertainment industry.”
