Every day is Pi Day on Daily Kos.
You say you can quit anytime you want to, but we both know that’s a lie.
That’s ok. No judgment. You don’t need to stop throwing pie cold-turkey. All we ask is that while you savor your pie, you help out some less fortunate folks who maybe can’t afford pie, or can’t spare the time and energy for pie-throwing because their lives have become an ongoing Dolt45-instigated emergency.
Below is a handy suggested fee/donation menu for Daily Kos’ favorite pie flavor comment selections. (Please feel free to offer menu updates and suggested pricing.)
