Not sure if it's the same everywhere, but if I pull a dividend I don't pay tax initially, but when I do my income taxes it's part of my income and I'd have to pay tax on it then

During the whole yo-yo craze, did you accidentally break the classroom's fishtank with a yo-yo, landing you a month's worth of detention? During a detention session where the teacher is not present, you rummaged through her desk for your yo-yo and discover personal ad written by the teacher, ultimately deciding to respond to it as a prank?

Dollar General has 48hrs to make stores safe or face more penalties after $12m fine in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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

Construction workers are dying from suicide at an alarming rate, with an estimated 6,000 construction workers dying as a result of suicide in 2022 in c/[email protected]

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

There should be a “shower thoughts mode” in the shower so after you clean yourself, the current water used in the shower is recycled and reheated. In this way you can keep shower thinking without in c/[email protected]

I'm going to guess in most parts of the world heating water is a bigger expense vs getting clean water.

You could choose to feel guilty about wasting heat energy, or just enjoy it knowing the energy had already been spent heating the water for you to enjoy. But screw fresh water! Waste away! It'll stay in the water cycle

Technology has fueled a sports betting boom and a spike in problem gambling, addiction therapist warns in c/[email protected]

I've noticed the same, and it's horrifying when you think about the cost of all those ads and how it's mostly funded by people with gambling problems
