    I’ve got my wife pregnant a few times, so….

    The amount of people that would be “surprised” to find they are the opposite sex to what they are is a rounding error. People like that almost always have under developed sexual organs and other dead giveaways that something isn’t quite right, which leads to testing - at least in the western world, they might ignore it in less advanced places.

    Also sex is meaningful. We don’t have separate women’s sporting events because of gender, but because of the physiological differences between the sexes.






  • The person didn’t choose to get shot though, while you still chose to buy the product at the higher price. That’s the difference.

    Why the price went up makes no difference to you as the customer.

    I get that it sucks that prices went up because of an illegal tariff, but the customer didn’t pay the tariff so they’re not entitled to a refund. The tariff was paid before you bought the product, by the business. The best you can hope for is that prices will go down, but unfortunately that’s unlikely.










  • Because the customer didn’t pay the tariff, the business did - unless of course the business flat out added a “tariff surcharge” or something of the like to the total that the customer can see.

    Increasing the cost of an item by the amount of the tariff is not the same as making the customer directly pay the tariff. The business was charged the tariff. They were invoiced and they paid it. The customer didn’t. The customer just bought an item at shelf price.
