  • The reason it’s relevant is that most working people do not earn salaries, they earn hourly rates. I’m a welding engineer earning a salary, working with maintenance men and welders and operators who all earn hourly rates. Every company I’ve ever worked for has both salary and hourly and also an HR department.

    The situation you are describing does not align with the vast majority of working people’s experiences.











  • The first Dark Souls was 2011. Diablo was released in 1997. World of Warcraft was 2004 and while you didn’t quite drop all your stuff and money you die you did have to run back to your corpse to keep from having all your stuff degrade and cost a bunch of money. The first Sonic was 1991 and getting hit makes you drop all your “money” and have to pick it back up.





  • Two cats, both have their own annoying thing. Black short hair bob tail: will get into any and all food if left out. Has learned to open cabinets and cupboard to get to hidden food. Has chewed through a cardboard box to chew through the bag of dog food, found him neck deep in the bag crunching away. Has chewed a hole in a canvas bag to get to dog food. Oh, and recently started peeing in the laundry. Long haired colorful: gets bored and wants to go outside, will wander the house screaming at the top of his lungs, clawing at every door. Happens anywhere between midnight and 3am, almost every night. Will bolt for the door if you have it open and aren’t watching for him. Where does he want to go? Rolls on his back in the road.




  • No. That 2% is with the membership, you get a certificate back every year based on what you spend in the store. The people talking about having to spend $3000 to break even are talking about this 2% return in relation to the membership fee. All the credit card rewards, cash back, or other points from whatever card you use are in addition, as well as all the discounted prices further reducing your cost burden.

    Yes, you are paying 120 (130now I guess) for the privilege of spending less for more, with the additional benefit of making back that payment and more by buying the same things you would have bought from Walmart or wherever
