@tyrranKPX I actually get where you are coming from here, but after working on projects where I've needed to specifically compromise on texture work, I don't get getting too married to having low detail in certain environments.
@tyrranKPX Under a time crunch it is easy to do grey stone floor with a small amount of ambient occlusion, but a carpet requires a little more thought. Do you go all the way to the edge? How do you differentiate it from stone? Should you just work on a different texture?
@Rat_Kape@phantomSomnus I was wondering if anyone was going to mention the energy sword, but I didn't even think of the diamond sword. It feels silly to think about, but, there may be more people who recognize the diamond sword today than any of the others in the image.
America’s seniors will see a new $6,000 bonus exemption as a part of the Working Families Tax Cut.

@charliegreenman@sama It seems great for middle and upper class people, since with that $800 after 10 years someone at the median individual income can cover maybe a month's rent with the capital gains, but someone just squeezing into the top bracket could use just capital gains to buy a nice used car
@charliegreenman@sama 2% of income for someone with low income both is not a ton of investment, and might be needed more to cover bills and food.
Unless I am misunderstanding the idea, it seems like it would offer the largest tax advantage to those who already have a large income/ need less help
@charliegreenman@sama I don't think I've ever seen this suggestion before. I like the general concept of strongly encouraging people to at least dip their toes into investing. But, it doesn't feel like an alternative to UBI since UBI suggestions are usually aimed at aiding those with low income but
I'm not a financial advisor, but I think I am done buying broad-based ETFs until they change the name. I get they were named in New York, but it's 2025, they are called ladies.
