  • It’s actually worse.

    There’s a library, been there for years. Across the street someone opened a book rental service, and people are flocking to the paid service for access to what they were just getting for free. Not only that but the paid service is less accurate and you still have to go to the library from time to time to check what the service is selling.

    Listen, it’s math homework for a child.

    It’s larger, because they’re still developing their motor control, and the actual, a child that does this is very likely to count each square with their finger.

    There are plenty of reasons to show measurements out of scale. Larger print is easier to read. For literally, it’s for children who’s eyes are not yet fully developed it’s important that things be larger and easier to see.

    Not all printers are created equal, and these sheets are likely to be xeroxed repeatedly, larger than scale print makes it serviceable for much longer if you happen to lose the original.

    The underpaid and over worried children’s educator likely does not have the energy or the time to print this crap exactly to scale.


  • Closeout sale all billionaires must go!

    Due to tragic, predictable and entirely preventable circumstances we are currently OVERSTOCKED on billionaires and they’re passing the misery on to YOOOOUUUUU!

    Are you broke? Depressed? Working your ass off and still struggling to make ends meet? Then you my friend just need to take out the billionaire class! It’s free and good for you! WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO LOSE???




  • It is!

    You’re really primed to expect to pay so much more than the asking price for literally every transaction. It’s fucking awful. Tax. Tip. “Estimated totals” convenience fees. Fuck you fees. Fees for the bees. You got too many fees fees. Subscription fee. “That was the price if you subscribe, it costs more if you don’t” fee.

    I fucking hate this place


  • Seriously, do this.

    Also, never, under any circumstances, allow a company to automatically withdraw funds directly from your bank account.

    “Ope, we’ve changed the terms of service, and charged you a backdated amount based on the new terms of service you’ve already consented to by paying us”

    They don’t get a dime until I know for damn sure I’m giving it to them. If an organization refuses to do business with you without direct access to your bank account, it’s because their business model depends on them being able to fuck you.

    Credit cards and physical paper checks only for recurring transactions. Amex if they’ll take it. Don’t let them keep your debit card on file either.
