Because doing crap like this is how the rich avoid paying their fair share of taxes.

And yes running it a loss is a legitimate thing:

  1. Open up subsidiary company that you know/think will operate at a loss or near loss
  2. Use the negative profit to offset positive profit from another subsidiary (main operations for example)
  3. Parent company now has lower NET Profit!! Thus paying less in taxes since your “income” is now much lower than it was before.
  4. Laugh at the taxman because you just got away with stealing from your countrymen

That’s just an off the cuff example, obviously it can be a little more complicated depending on the jurisdiction

The cautionary note against “feminist propaganda” is a reminder that Game Science have yet to respond to allegations of pervasive sexist behaviour from November last year. In a lengthy report for IGN, Rebekah Valentine and Khee Hoon Chan described “a studio plagued by claims of sexism”, linking this to misogyny elsewhere in the Chinese games industry and on the government-firewalled Chinese internet. The developers have raised the drawbridge in response: when Edders attended a preview event earlier this year, they refused to say anything on the subject in advance.

JFC, fuck this company.

I think they’re asking people to find their games on the high seas and stream while crossdressing and just speaking in quotes/ about their forbidden list. 🤔

Surprised it hasn’t been mentioned, but Electric Vehicles in general. I remember wishing for them to be a thing when I used to drive my family’s gas-guzzling vehicles. If you look outside of Tesla, there are plenty of options even affordable ones, it might Leaf you in disbelief.

Yes! I grew up with Warhammer, and I can’t tell you how many times as a teen I wished I could just make my own minis, or print something specific to add on while kitbashing.

Fast forward to today and I have a resin printer, unfortunately my free time is a bit less than it was 20 years ago so it doesn’t see as much use as I’d like. God I feel old.

Animal services will seek felony animal cruelty charges upon submitting its findings to the Riverside county district attorney’s office, officials said.

Most important part left out of the description. Let’s hope the charges stick.

What else to expect out of an imperialist ethno-fascist nation founded by white guilt. It needs glassed.

Kushiel’s Dart series is more or less about this if anyone needs a representation of this in literature/media.

^This. I can tell every time my pc updates by the fact that nothing ever works correctly anymore.

Literally just downloaded video drivers yesterday due to this, and I have the vast majority of auto updates turned off for windows… Every update moves me closer to switching Os entirely.
