If it's up my ass, is it facing inward looking at my colon or facing outward looking at my underwear?

In the 90s, there was a funny website that had an article on the "world's first rectal camera." It was an article so I think it covered the "why" and "who" and "how" and everything. When they got to the photos, they were just normal photos with a round black border around them.

It was funny. I wish I could find it again.

My Allstate account doesn't do that. There are no payment option fees. Is there something odd about your account? Have you had missed payments or insufficient funds when paying?

One thing that always irritates me when using a light to work on a car is light coming back at me. I have to turn my lights so all the light is going away from me.

Also "Mechanics, I made this for you." Uh, why is it sold by 30 Chinese companies on Amazon?

One DAY, you're young. And then the NEXT. You're standing in your BACK YARD. Like this. Staring at your bird FEEDER.

I've made this case to Christians before. If people who don't hear about it get a free pass into heaven, after Jesus died, if they just didn't say anything, everyone on earth would go to heaven.

Any time they go somewhere new and preach, they have to get 100% to believe just to keep the number of people going to heaven the same. Anything less and hell has gained some new souls.

Christianity is a recruitment tool for hell.

That doesn't mean it's happening.

At a large corporation, there would be employees setting up the charity drive, the accounting department, probably the legal department involved. They'd need to keep track of the charity money coming in, make sure it's not counted as charity, make sure it's not counted as income, make sure none of the departments ask questions, pay the charity from money that is not shown as income or charity, get a receipt from the charity saying the money came from the company's money and not the big nationwide charity drive they held for 6 months that ended last week, file taxes saying they paid X amount to charity from company money but they can't show it coming from company money.

Not a single person involved in this would profit from it and most would be mortified at what they saw. The company would barely even profit from it. I mean, Wal-mart getting a tax deduction for a million dollars they raised for charity would probably pay for the remodeling of the deli department at one store.

This is a situation where not only are the risks not worth it, the work isn't worth it. It's a thousand times easier to just do it right.

This. It's illegal for them to take the deduction. The only way they could is if they claimed your donation as income then claimed it as a deduction, which would get them nowhere.

I'm not saying trust big companies, but on the checkout charity things I think the risk far outweighs the reward for them to cheat.

One thing I do wonder about is if they put the donated money into an account and collect interest on it before donating it. I've never been able to find an answer to that, but I suspect it's the same. Big risk, little reward.

Yeah, The first sentence on the atf website says "ATF launched a new era of reform in 2025..." and the rest of the page is listing the "new era actions taken."

It does say it was updated in May 2026, which is somewhat recent, but there's nothing that indicates this page is listing everything they're currently doing.
