And they’ll have a locked ecosystem with bullshit exclusives

This is news to me, what’s he linked to with Russia?

And the US isn’t?

Ok.

Just like many rely on Facebook. Providing news doesn’t make it a good news source.

It’s infuriating how 2 have title on top, author on bottom, then the rest are reversed.

Ok but twitter isn’t even a real source for news so who cares. Go to a real news site.

This is exactly what I am getting at. Also I think others might not consider that them and their partner are clearing that together. The over 150k I’m referring to is household income.

I agree, the more you make the more you should contribute. The problem is wages and brackets stayed the same while costs have gone up. Buying power has declined year over year.

I understand how it works. But the extra income on each bracket is taxed at a higher rate, so the gross is definitely impacted more the higher you are. If you were taxed only at the lowest bracket rate for 150k you’d have a lot more to show for it.

I’m not going to dump all my personal details on here, but if you think for a minute where rent is >1500/mo, or housing is over 1M, or how the more you make gross, the less you net due to tax brackets, it shouldn’t be that hard to figure out. You also need to consider not everyone is just an individual and needs to support themselves. Everyone’s life is different.

Lastly, 150K CAD does not go very far these days. It sounds like a lot but with the costs of everything now, it’s not that much.

150k of goods today was worth 252k in the year 2000, so costs have increased a lot.

And since the year 2000, housing has gone up 5x as much. Not to mention everything else.

Eh, that’s fine, and I know how it sounds, but I feel there’s a lot of assumptions being made about my living conditions 😜.

Isn’t that what gog Galaxy is for?

Ya, weird, I use it on windows and don’t see ads.

I use heroic launcher or lutris in it’s place on Linux though.

Been gaming on Linux for over a decade, definitely some stuff is a bit h but it’s surprising how much works flawlessly. Bought a steam deck a month ago and I’m very impressed with the polish and compatibility. I’ll be happy to see it keep selling. It’s a nice piece of hardware.

Hahaha I’m over 149999 a year and I can assure you that I definitely need it. But I won’t get it.

Work in the space, I don’t misunderstand. Corps are one thing, what about the rest of civilization? Also some corps might even embrace as a means to spy on their employees work habits or something dystopian like that.

I mean a single person can have email under their domain, and a terabyte of OneDrive and SharePoint storage for like less than 10 CAD a month. Not bad.

Sounds generous.

Modern cars have been privacy invading for a while. Goes back to the ownership torch thing again. Tesla can disable your car if they want. Why pay so much up front if you’re not in control? Old vehicles are the way to go.

How would you even know about any of this stuff? I am not fortunate enough to afford a new vehicle but I imagine when you’re at the dealer they’re not like “so these cameras will watch you all the time… For safety and security, of course…”

Great. Now I can’t jerk off in my car anymore!
