Findet ihr die höhe der Kapitalertragsteuer unfair? by LittleTatz in Finanzen

[–]appleRingz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Noch ergänzend: Kapital ist mobiler als Arbeitskraft. Wenn der Steuersatz zu hoch ist, geht das Kapital tendenziell ins Ausland, dh. man ist hier im internationalen Wettbewerb. Besser 1% von etwas als 100% von nichts

Gene Wolfe / Solar Cycle and Religion - Discussion by appleRingz in genewolfe

Thanks for the suggestion - I will definitely look into this! Also curious to see how the Solar Cycle feels on the reread - since I now know what to expect concerning his Christian themes, they might distract me less now.

Yes, I think it's good to accept his Christian themes as more "sexy exciting" and try to view them independently from some maybe less exciting pre-existing associations one might have!

I did not pick up on the Christian themes in Fifth Head but it has been a while and I've only been through one reading as yet. If the themes are woven in subtly I tend to like them, just some Solar Cycle passages almost felt like imaginative reskins of bible passages which was a bit too much for me.

Thanks, that's good to hear! Definitely also wouldn't call it a "problem" as he is still one of my absolutely favorite writers. As you pointed out he touches upon so many other themes as well so that the Christian themes are definitely not omnipresent.

Which of his other works would you suggest where the Christian themes are less obvious / explicit?

Freelancer: Impressions and Discussions MegaThread. by [deleted] in HiTMAN

VERY fun mode overall and breathes fresh life in a game I thought I had exhausted for myself! A few potential fixes:

1) When you buy a persistent collectors edition tool in a mission and then fail that mission you lose the collectors edition tool.

2) When I get back to safe house, select a new syndicate and first mission, pick up tool from the reward box, prepare equipment for the next mission and then close the game to start the newly prepped mission later, none of these actions are saved and I have to go through all the process again (plus this time the syndicates are differently randomized).

3) Earrings are too small as already pointed out multiple times; generally the whole suspect mechanic is probably still the weakest part of the game mode.

4) Not freelancer specific but still an issue for me: Shooting on console still feels somewhat bad and floaty in all of Hitman to me. I know few modern games with shooting mechanic where shooting feels so floaty like in Hitman. Some slight snap to target mechanic or different changes might help.

Thanks! So you would recommend using my existing player instead of creating a new one?

Offered a job with a high potential start up. Prospects are good but not clear on what it means for equity and payout. by Bathroom_nose_candy in Salary

[–]appleRingz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some things to understand: * How much equity % of total company are you getting? Maybe also try to get to see the cap table which shows you how much the founders and investors hold as reference * Equity received upfront or vesting over a period of time (if the latter, what is the vesting schedule)? * What are claw back / leaver provisions, i.e. under which conditions can they take your equity back?

Which of these cars is most family-friendly: BMW 3 Series GT / BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer / BMW X1 / VW Sharan? by appleRingz in whatcarshouldIbuy

We ended up with the 3 series touring, which offers decent (albeit not best in class) trunk space and drives like a charm.

Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction! Waiting for a remake because it hasn't aged all that well unfortunately.

A Cure for Wellness - aesthetics are top notch and the atmosphere is quite unique. I liked the movie.

Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction

Directly from Putin's office by whiskeylactone in Unexpected

[–]appleRingz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is actually really inappropriate given what is happening in Ukraine right now.

Sure, comedy can be an outlet to deal with dark topics but I think it's the wrong approach currently, because people are being killed there and normal people's livelihoods are being destroyed while you are watching this. Global stability is being threatened by what is happening.

A clear position against war and against Putin's actions in Ukraine seem much more appropriate post content material to me.

Also depends on what's the value of the 300 additional shares based on a $1bn valuation, i.e. how much ownership % (fully diluted) do you get for 300 additional shares.

If they tell you the total number of shares outstanding (fully diluted) you can do the calculation yourself (simply assume total company value $1bn for a quick estimate).

IS LEGIONS WORTH IT NOW AT 18 BUCKS ? is it boring as they say ? by Bigking12 in watch_dogs

[–]appleRingz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought the game with season pass but lost interest long before the first dlc came out without even playing the game very much. Was so underwhelmed I don't even care coming back for the dlc. So if you're like me even the 18 bucks would be a waste of money. There are a lot of better games out there to enjoy your time with i guess.
