- Comment on The rich convinced us that taxing them is too complicated but everyday people can be taxed pretty easily 1 day ago:
If you can’t figure out how to turn enough profit on your $10B company to pay the wealth tax, then you have to sell enough of it to pay the tax, and someone else gets more say in how the company runs.
What’s actually more likely to happen is executives would take a higher salary to pay the taxes and pay their employees less, because the last thing they want to do is be forced to sell shares which is the same as giving up ownership and control of their company at that level.
So yes there might be more taxes, but itd be at the disadvantage of the employees, and the government will give it all to DND anyway and you’ll never see a dime of it.

This is where I stand on it. Charging taxes on unrealized gains is never going to happen, and its not like we’re going to give them a refund if it swings the other way.
Taxing collateralizion and usage of the unrealized gains would be massive, and if they don’t like the new system, then sell them and pay taxes like everyone else.

It really depends on what the call in was.
If someone says there’s an active threat and their life is in danger, sending 1 car would would be gross negligence.
Now, this call, seems excessive.

So what youre saying is it was gods will for the church to decline and it was done via the plague which must have come from God if everything is part of God’s plan, which means God wanted fewer followers and eventually have none?

- Comment on I was on social media before web browsers existed. I am Legion. 2 months ago:
Ive been around the internet since early dial up days, and while I haven’t used every social platform that appeared, Facebook was the one where I saw everyone was really just posting their projected self, the world is amazing fake lives. I dont think it necessarily started immediately like that, but it quickly became that.

- Comment on How come in American classrooms they make another language an elective. Why not teach our kids as many languages possible that way if we go somewhere we will kind of have uper hand? 2 months ago:
In Canada when I was growing up, if you didnt take french immersion, they made you take 1 french language class a year up until grade 10.
They also taught Japanese and for senior year if you’d taken them all could go on a trip to Japan.

I didn’t know someone was trying a different approach like that, their animated graphics were really cool.
Eventually someone has gotta figure this out, I just hope I’m alive to see it and the outcome of it.

It won’t kill the for profit prisons, this is just an aspect of how for profit prisons make profit.
They should ban for profit prisons outright.
- Comment on Legal action over 'unfair' Steam game store prices given go ahead 3 months ago:
albeit with slightly more effort. customers will flow toward the path of least resistance
I think that’s the crux of it. It can be done, but I would bet the vast majority are just playing steam games on SteamOS
So if you launch on Steam, you can reach PC users and Mobile users, and someone might decide to buy the game on steam knowing it will work easily on both.

You left off the newer steam deck which opens your games up to a mobile audience.
- Comment on ICE agents attempt to arrest US Citizen in St Peter, Minnesota 3 months ago:
The video isn’t of that. She was driving in a car and they were chasing her, likely due to filming them before this starts.
They speed ahead of her, no flashing lights, stop in front of her and come out of the car guns immediately drawn ponting at her wearing masks.

The aftermath might be you’re dead… but eventually this is going to happen and they will survive and it’s going to go to court. I would love to see the precedent get set that it was indeed self defense.
- Comment on Stardew Valley Creator Shuts Down Rumors Haunted Chocolatier 'Will Be Abandoned,' Insisting: 'It Will Come Out When It’s Ready' - IGN 3 months ago:
I recently launched a business as a solo dev / founder. It was agonizing trying to get all the last details done and be happy enough to finally say, this is what I’m going to release.
I could have gone on forever if I’d let myself. Oh they need this, oh they need that!
Now that it’s out, that pressure is gone, and I can just do smaller updates now which are focused more heavily on the feedback I’m getting from customers.
I probably could have released 3-4 months earlier had I been better about it.
