  I’ve only ever bought cheap $2 sunglasses and they work fine. They’re cheap, so they break easy, but they’re only $2.

  Yeah, to me all of these scream “Run tf away, go inside and don’t come back out until tomorrow.” (I am deafly afraid of bees)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How would you actually tax the ultra wealthy?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, there’s probably a better set of formulas to use.

  The main idea behind my idea is that people who make more pay more, whereas people who make less pay less. Additionally, those who don’t make money pay no tax as it works out mathematically.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How would you actually tax the ultra wealthy?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A potential mathematical approach to equal taxation that works in any country:

  1. Calculate the average income of every citizen. Let A = the average income (amount per year)
  2. Set a baseline tax amount for the average (e.g. 10%). Let P = baseline tax percentage
  3. Given a person’s income, calculate how far above or below they are compared to the average. Let I = a person’s income. We can calculate the difference, D, with D = I - A. A positive value means the person’s income is above average, whereas negative is below.
  4. Calculate the difference as a percentage. Let Q = D / A
  5. Calculate the percentage of the tax percentage. This will determine how much more or less a person will have to pay: R = Q * P
  6. Finally, calculate the person’s unique tax amount: T = P + R. If R was a positive value, that means the person will pay more. If R was a negative value, they pay less. If R = 0, they pay the base amount.

  Example: Let’s say the average income per year is $50,000 USD, and the baseline tax rate is 10%

  So A =50,000 and P = 10% / 100 = 0.1

  Given a person’s income: $30,000/yr:

  I = 30,000

  Calculate the difference:

  D = 30,000 – 50,000 = –20,000 Q = –20,000 / 50,000 = –0.4 (–40%)

  Calculate how much more/less the person pays:

  R = –0.4 * 0.1 = –0.04 (–4%)

  Calculate the unique tax amount:

  T = 0.1 + (–0.04) = 0.1 – 0.04 = 0.6 (6%)

  There might be a better set of formulas, but this is what I came up with. Let me know if I made a mistake in my math.

  Here’s mine:

  That’s right, it’s empty. I clear mine when I’m done copying/pasting stuff. Mainly due to paranoia.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NextFest Thoughts⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I tried out the new House Flipper Remastered Demo, and it was decent. As someone who owns all the DLC of the first game (I haven’t and won’t play the sequel), there are some nice QoL improvements they added, like a tool to see dirt, and a top-down view.

  However, there are some performance issues along with some bugs others have reported. I’m hoping it’ll be good when it releases, though I’m a bit hesitant as it will be about $20 USD for those that own all DLC, which seems a bit much for just a few new enhancements and a graphics ‘improvement’.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your thoughts on Reanimal?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  To me, it looks like Little Nightmares 3 with a “Fresh” coat of paint, if that paint was made in the same factory as LN3.

  I liked the original Little Nightmares, tolerated 2, and 3 bored me enough to not finish it. This game seems to improve some aspects from LN3, but still misses the mark for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How would you describe that post sneeze smell?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You guys have a smell after you sneeze? I just feel pain throughout my body after them sometimes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An oopsie occured⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  0.3 Hamburgers of course!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The developers of PEAK, explaining how they decided on pricing for their game. ⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For me, the price listed is the price listed. If it’s $5, it’s $5. $8 is $8, etc.

  This kind of ratio would just confuse me otherwise.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨lightbulbs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You guys use lightbulbs?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Games you really want to play, but can't or won't?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Mouse-heavy games like Cities: Skylines, Sims 3, and other management games. Due to a chronic injury, I’m force to mainly play with a controller, and trying to play these games with a controller would be abysmal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What challenge from a game isn't worth completing and what challenge from a game is worth completing?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Any “no death” achievements/challenges in souls-like games. I don’t see a point in struggling for weeks/months just for a small badge on my account.

  On the other hand, 100%'ing certain games like Stardew Valley is definitely worth it. I won’t spoil what happens, but just know that it is worth doing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam adds official support for game version-specific Workshop mods⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s pretty cool. I wonder if some devs will use this in conjunction to the “Betas” system and have separate versions there that support mods for older versions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How open are you about yourself to others online in general?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m open to talk about computer stuff (mainly Arch Linux BTW), video games, and a few miscellaneous stuff, but aside from that, not really open.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you had too, how would go about running a Instagram account?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Unix porn, Arch Linux installs, problems with my system, complaining about systemd for no reason, and Linux memes.

  Basically c/linuxmemes and c/unixporn but on Instagram.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How long until we can start shorting years to 2 numbers again?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe 20 will be a better year than 20, and people will start shorting it to 20 instead of 20. /j

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some good games to play while sick?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The naming scheme seems similar to Steins;Gate. Was it made by the same devs?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What game is a guilty pleasure of yours?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As weird as it sounds: Spongebob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom (The OG one).

  On the surface, it’s a shit platformer game for kids, but what makes it interesting is the ways you can break the game and the lively speedrunning community. If you just try to play the game by following its rules, you’re going to have a bad time.

  However, if you use cool speedrunning glitches and exploits, it becomes much more fun to break the game in ways the developers didn’t intend. I tend to play from time to time 100%ing it using exploits to reach locked areas earlier, skip entire sections, and play some levels backwards.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gaming Pet Peeves⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Currently, I’m replaying The Witcher 3, and the main annoyance I’m having right now is not being able to pause during timed choices (and timed choice are a whole other problem in games too).

  You can pause during non-time-sensitive dialog choices, but not during timed ones. I don’t know why they specifically deny pausing for those. Maybe to prevent people from pausing and thinking it out? But, some of these times sensitive choices greatly effect the story. I want to be able to think about these choices when they effect the story.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you do when you have a cold and can't take medicine?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Get a lot of tissues if your nose is running. Sometimes I will lay down and listen to a podcast, other times I might try to do something at my desk.

  Hope you feel better, OP.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there good Movies, TV Shows, Anime, with wholesome family (particularly parent-child) relations?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For anime: Sweetness and Lightning.

  It’s about a single father cooking different dishes for his daughter with the help of one of his students.

  A bunch of smaller Reddits all combined together, without karma, and more tech-focused content.
