Any subscription whose monthly price ends in .99 will have an annual price that ends in .88.

• Netflix @ 8.99 a month? That’s 107.88! Nazis!
• Crunchyroll @ 9.99 / 13.99 / 17.99 a month! Nazis!
• Xbox Gamepass @ 9.99 a month? That’s 119.88! Nazis!

Sounds bad…until you realize that this is how math works. Any subscription whose monthly price ends in .99 will have an annual price that ends in .88.

• Netflix @ 8.99 a month? That’s 107.88! Nazis!
• Crunchyroll @ 9.99 / 13.99 / 17.99 a month! Nazis!
• Xbox Gamepass @ 9.99 a month? That’s 119.88! Nazis!

Dump Windows 10 and install Linux Mint.

Everyone calling the shots in China is a Billionaire.

It’s also happening in areas where education HASN’T been defended or dismantled. It’s happening in areas that aren’t Republican controlled too.

Fuck MAGA with a moldy pine tree but blaming this problem solely on them means it can’t be solved because whatever is happening isn’t being caused by them.
