Tax Brackets. "I got a pay raise and will now be taxed more and make less money than before the raise"

If <=30k was taxed at 25% and 30+k taxed at 30% and you go from 30k to 31k a year, only the 1k is taxed at the higher rate.

    jacksfilms provided evidence of Sssniperwolf doxing him by travelling to his house and showing live video footage of it to her millions of subscribers, her stealing author's content (and not crediting), muting their jokes and saying the jokes herself, reacting to the same clip more than once in a video, and cases of adding zero commentary (wasn't even on screen).

    jacksfilms created a second channel (jjjacksfilms) where he would watch her videos, provide value (he'd critique them and his viewers would learn how to improve their own content by what not to do), AND he'd research and try to include credits to all the original authors that Sssniperwolf was stealing from and didn't credit herself. He has many videos showing more examples of Sssniperwolf's shady behaviour.

    Despite it being fair use for jacksfilms to critique her videos, Sssniperwolf doxed him.

    2023-08-16 Sssniperwolf is getting worse. Here's proof. (jacksfilms)

    This impacts more than just cheaters. Rockstar apparently didn't enable Proton support with Battleye meaning many Linux users can no longer play GTA Online. I don't play GTAO but I am not looking forward to when I can no longer play Red Dead Online.

    "As we mentioned previously, BattlEye on Proton integration has reached a point where all a developer needs to do is reach out BattlEye to enable it for their title. No additional work is required by the developer besides that communication." source: https://store.steampowered.com/news/group/4145017/view/3104663180636096966

    DM: "Alright. Everyone else, please make up and write down two things about this player's backstory and let me know. Do not tell each other what you wrote. I'll choose which ones I'll use plus may throw in a couple myself" evil laugh

    Better to create your own instance then.

    It's about reducing risk not eradicating it and there's a huge difference in risk in being targeted for legal action due to hosting c/piracy (via caching/mirroring) than from a single piracy post in c/hellokitty.

    I don't like the lack of transparency with how the Google Play Store doesn't list the permissions if one pays for the app and instead only shows the permissions if one doesn't pay.

    I generally prefer it when devs release two apps -- a free version and a paid version. This way it's very clear on the Google Play Store what is being tracked in the paid app.

    This won't affect me personally, but I am curious if others would be more likely to use and pay for Sync if the permissions were more clear for the paid usage case.

     

    I'm Canadian but I expect this sale is on for other countries as well. This also means if you are in the USA -- the price for you to get the Sims 3 bundle is even lower. (EDIT: Note that the bundle doesn't include the Base Game which is required but can also be bought off of steam.)
