National Insurance is a tax, additionally after 100k you start losing your personal allowance.

The net effect is an effective tax rate much higher than the nominal rate.

You lose other benefits to but they aren't factored in as depend on if you have kids or not etc.

Sounds like you want to hire them?

Or not pay them, and tell them what they can work on?

How long before versions are distributed ready to play?

By definition the gamers are adults, and playing at murder.

Some as terrorists.

Can't they just mute or block people they don't like? Cheating is the only real problem.

But surely they realise that's the entire player base?

> The word for that is "trolling".

Oh that is fascinating, so highlighting a verbatim quote, in context can be trolling?

What that makes me think of is that people are in denial about what the quote tells us and have displaced those feelings on to me! Amazing stuff.

> I asked and you avoided answering. What does that tell us?

This is interesting because no you didn't ask me what it tells us. You asked if I wanted to say something and I answered that the quote stands alone.

Really interesting stuff in this thread!

I'm actually quite enjoying how divisive a simple quote can be.

I wonder how often I've made a comment and gotten no engagement. This quote seems to have gotten more engagement than the original comment. And quite emotive engagement.

Makes me wonder what that means. Is it genuine curiosity? Or is the quote saying something that the original commenter couldn't see themselves? It's interesting they suggested if I was insinuating something negative about them.

Importantly, they did not ask me. They told me. That too tells us something about what pairing experience with them would be.

I think it's too valuable to Meta and Alphabet to retain the option to exit a market than comply with these restrictions.

Similar attitude to the UK Online Safety Bill.

Giving in would just start a landslide of restrictions and demands for moneym

I doubt if either will have any interest in paying any amount since it'd open the door to every country wanting some payment.

Better to continue blocking Canada and ignore.
