We wish they were that cool, the inventors of the modern mile were more concerned about land measurements. A square mile is 640 acres. Which neatly can be cut into quarters 3 times. 160, 40, 10.

Social with the joke being Chinese people can't pronounce L and R properly and swap them.

Pay your taxes on it and no problem.

That is not true. If it's pre 1898 it's antique, beyond that it is classified as a destructive device and has a whole bunch of red tape. Anytime you see words $200 tax stamp it isn't easy to get.

And even a pre 1898 cannon is going to cost you $8k+ for a rusted out POS that will explode if you try to actually fire it.

It a little hard to blame them since they were sold the end of pensions and rise of the 401k. Which the bottom 60% of the country has close to zero of and then they can't make a living wage because the shareholders demand a greater return every year.

No. That isn't how it works either. Well they might use that to meet the pr pledge but that isn't the same as taking the deduction.

As I told the other person if you actual have any proof to back that up report it to the IRS and collect your bounty.

You can monitor your site traffic during the ad campaign and see if it goes up by a reasonable rate per impression though?

Sure I suppose they could lie and you happen to have such a well crafted ad that it has a super high click rate and you are getting scammed but I think that is highly unlikely. Especially depending on your target it would be easy to check.

[-] Maya@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Because you have your own logs to compare if traffic increases or not?

Because that doesn't kill the competition.

Maybe, but having a sense of community maked a big difference in keeping people engaged when communities are small and need to grow. There are certainly plenty of spaces that should be kept clean and on topic but if everything is always dry and boring you will have limited engagement and limited repeats.

When a lurker knows how to "newfags can't triforce"

Or respond to "Red Leader standing by."

Then they see positive feedback from the community they feel like they are part of the community vs an observer and tribalism is one of the strongest features/bugs of humanity.

This also helps keep discussions civil when you can realize the person you have having a disagreement with regarding "tensor wave field dynamics in corn flakes" isn't just a raging dick because they used the "specific gravity of skim milk instead of whole milk like you were."

Edit: make to makes and mile to milk
