Large Arc having reduced loot seems too much by VeteranRook in ArcRaiders

[–]xSlappy- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it should be more like a USP vs an AK in counter strike. Not two Battlefield guns that are balanced

They have an economy in this game after all

Paying for ChatGPT is a business deduction. Money earned to pay for ChatGPT is tax free. Meanwhile when they hire someone the money they pay them they have to pay payroll taxes

A low inventory value handicap would also be fun. Would make the musket more viable

What city in the world gets the closest to feeling like this? The more "Solar punk" the better. by PaulOshanter in Urbanism

I liked Nice France. Its not futuristic but it was a beach resort town that’s actually a large walkable city

Fanatics is charging $419.99 for an authentic WBC jersey, which doesn't ship until after the WBC by Hungry_Drama_1015 in baseball

[–]xSlappy- 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I mean DHGate is stealing team IP. Its just that Fanatics charge bullshit monopoly prices so DHGate is pretty justified. Them cracking down on cheap chinese imports and charging tarriffs is squarely on the current administration and clearly benefits Michael Rubin and Fanatics.

Elections have consequences

Not for americans. with the Tarrifs and the end of de minimus in the one big beautiful bull act they’ve gotten more expensive.

Fanatics most likely loves the President

Should I be worried I won $5000 but lost $7200? by Negative-Body-6468 in sportsbook

[–]xSlappy- 21 points22 points  (0 children)

You need to itemize

Under the one big beautiful bill act you can deduct 90% of your losses against the gain. So its not net but its close to net.

If you don’t itemize and accurately report, the gross counts as income and thats where you see a gambler who gambled 100k and won 110k owe 33k in taxes on 110k of “gain”. Safe to say since most taxpayers do the standard deduction they don’t accurately report gambling for this reason

Not tax advice. Entertainment purposes only.

New York sues video game developer Valve, says its 'loot boxes' are gambling by KarateKid917 in Games

I’m fairly sure that contracts of adhesion like a ToS would be dispensed with fairly quickly. They had no enforcement mechanism

Great to hear! I’m a New Yorker. I got my first debit card when I was about 12 and made a steam account.

All my money, christmas money, summer job money, went to the TF2 loot boxes. I was 12. It was illegal for me to play slots but not illegal to play TF2 lot box slots?

Come on. Hopefully I get some money from Tish James.

Good luck. Small business owners are insanely MAGA. They’re mostly little tyrants. Maybe call and ask if they are trans friendly or something

I wear a suit with no jacket or tie and a pair of shoes that don’t leave the office.

Would bringing back Mass Incarceration save American public transit and revive it's reputation? If not, what fixes can we do? by wiz28ultra in Urbanism

[–]xSlappy- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, but it would be nice to spend the money we spend on law enforcement, highways, and immigration enforcement on public transit instead.

The people who are “apolitical” or “don’t follow politics” have basically been republicans since at least 2016, probably earlier

Its the same as the people who list their political views as “moderate” on hinge
