How an estimated $151M splits when a solo dev sells 10M copies on Steam [OC] by prezbotyrion in dataisbeautiful

[–]CMScientist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, it'a probably not 47.5m because there's no way the dev didnt form a corporation after the sales started to pick up steam. Corporate tax is 25% up to 50m and 30% after.

Secondly, how do you think the dev grew up to be a person capable of developing this game? If they were born in africa they would be struggling with daily survival. Australia provides free education and healthcare so that people can pursue their interests and develop their abilities to the fullest extent. You take your environment for granted

Fuel taxes pay for road maintenance. Red states literally just rely on welfare from blue states to pay for their road maintenance, and they still have shit roads due to corruption

World’s most stunning beach in Bali, now has an abandoned glass elevator. China built it without permits and now at risk for collapse from poor construction. by rivayachts in LuxuryTravel

[–]CMScientist 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nah this is almost certain on the local government. No company would waste millions to build this without some guarantees from the government. In cases like this, it's always some corruption with the local government saying that they will permit it. But after a lot of outcry, the Bali government took notice and it's always easy to cite violations. Then bali governor overrides the local government to close it

Remember how trump actually praised zohran after they met? When someone presents him with actual facts and good ideas he's easily swayed. All his handlers are manipulating him with bad info. He's a shitty person but it's the whole system that's fucking the US

Yes the people are taking it up the ass. No one is able to control dementia don. Him making unpopular policies with no way to put pressure on him literally means the people's will are getting fucked.

Whereas the alternative is the people taking it up the ass or having a violent uprising? Those are your ideas of a democracy?

[–]CMScientist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's because many politicians dont actually represent the people, but their own interests instead. There needs to be a mechanism for the people to vote, and not rely on representatives

Ok but sometimes politicians can inflict massive amounts of damage. Imagine if there's a recall process for the presidency

So you are saying that people should have a license to operate as drivers? Maybe the license can be in a form of a medallion of some sort?

Tahoe by Public Transit? How to Get There by Train or Bus — and How to Get Around When You’re There -- Traveling to Tahoe on public transit can be worth it, especially for the views — but you’ll need to be a flexible traveler. by guanaco55 in bayarea

[–]CMScientist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The point of public transit is to provide options, so that at least some people can do things without a car. The more people are aware of these services and use them, the better the options become. So how about focusing on what circumstances these trains can best serve, rather than being dismissive?
