For instance, salaries are DEDUCTIBLE from a business income (like most expenses)
Wow! Who knew. Let me check my original post:
Okay, so he went with a dividend in place of a salary. A salary would have been deductible as a business expense on the corporate tax.
Oh, you got me!
Edit: Wait just a second. I didn't see it sooner. "Canadian," illiterate, unjustified self-confidence... saar, why are you posting here saar! Right now you must be do the needful!
I don't understand how "AI safety" is a field of research.
Don't let AI have control over anything. Let it generate text, images, video, whatever but never act. The output must always be fixed media. Nothing that runs on its own, nothing that manipulates existing data, touches a electromechanical system, etc.
That's it. The AI is now safe. Some retard can use the results improperly or put too much trust in them, but that is human error and the human is at fault.
Why the fuck would you put someone with Tourette's on the stage where this could be an issue in the first place?
The guy was there because his life story was the basis for a film nominated in five categories. He's got as much right to be there as anyone else.
Desktop Widgets
Active Desktop launched as an update to Windows 95. We've known desktop widgets are shit for almost 30 years now. Okay, displaying hostname and IP is nice when you have a dozen machines in a lab, but that's about it.
Every kid starts out thinking how cool it will be to see a CPU temperature graph on their new rig. Then within a week, realizes that they spend zero time looking at their desktop because they actually use the damn thing. It's something you learn VERY fast as even a basic user.
Per dentist.
If the business is making more than $500k, a substantially higher rates kick in, according to that link from the Canadian Government at least.
And fyi, a business is either incorporated in a province OR federally, not both.
I don't know much about the subject, but basic research indicates you know less. Look up any business tax guide for Canada. Have one from a Canadian accounting firm. https://accountor.ca/blog/taxation/corporate-tax-rate.html
In addition to the applicable federal corporate tax rate, a corporation must also pay the provincial corporate tax rate which differs from province to province.
"But I only said they weren't incorporated in both. I didn't say they weren't taxed by both." Then that comment is a non-sequitur because you were implying it.
But you're right. 38% is the basic rate on paper. Then they modify the hell out of it with various special treatments. Normal small business federal rate seems to be 9% up to 500k.
In 1984, the year before he graduated, 50% percentile score was about 900. So 960 was a little above average.
That makes this funnier. He's trying to say he's average, but the delivery makes it sound like he's claiming he and the audience are retarded, but he's actually delivering a compliment by suggesting the audience would have scored as high as the median.
It's remarkable, a line so bad that no matter what your sense of "960" means, it sounds like a stupid thing to say, but for different reasons. I'm not sure a room of writers could have deliberately come up with such a terrible line.
That would have been amazing, but that guy's mistaken.
- Phil Spencer: Microsoft Gaming CEO
- Sarah Bond: President of XBox since 2023. A black woman. Pictured.
- Asha Sharma: President of CoreAI, jeet.
- Matt Booty: Haha, Booty. Xbox Game Studios Head
Spencer is retiring. Bond is leaving. Sharma is replacing Spencer. Booty is being promoted to "Chief Content Officer," presumably to do Spencer's job without getting the title.
tl;dr: The woman in the picture has had the role for 2-3 years, isn't Phil Spencer's replacement, isn't a jeet, and her departure was made public at the same time as the other org changes.
...especially when you are shut out of the healthcare system, when you can't access any of the resources that Canadians have access to. And that's understandable, you know, I'm not a citizen of the country...
Scholar of the far-right? That's understating it. Understanding that social programs should be for citizens only? She's basically Hitler!
The hygienist makes 60,000$ per year, of which the government will rob $20,000 "at source." This leaves her with $40,000 per year, or a bit over $3,300 net per month.
The dentists makes well over $500,000. Of course, it's considered business income, so it is taxed at 8% maximum (if it is taxed at all). He can of course pay himself a dividend, which is not-taxed for the first $60,000 (our lady's whole salary), and then at half the rate that lady's income. With a huge tax credit and really no deduction.
Someone said OP is a leaf, so we'll go with that. OP also said "dividend," so we'll assume the practice is incorporated as a professional cooptation. OP's claims don't seem correct.
- The dentist makes over $500,000. No. The practice makes $500k. Then it has to pay all the employee salaries (including that hygienist) and corporate taxes. Apparently those are 9% federal + provincial. So the practice is already taxed at 9-24%. "Maximum 8%" is BS. But they can deduct business expenses.
- Pays himself a $60k dividend. Okay, so he went with a dividend in place of a salary. A salary would have been deductible as a business expense on the corporate tax. The dividend is not. It's coming out of funds already taxed at 9-24%. He's then personally taxed at the dividend rate. It seems this has multiple schemes, but depending on province, it's then taxed at a dividend rate. At the highest levels of personal income, that's an additional 40-48%
- If it were instead payed as a salary, it would be deductible on the cooperate taxes, but the personal income tax would be at a higher rate. Up to 54% in some regions for the highest earners.
Basically, the reason the dividends are taxed at a lower rate is because they were already subject to corporate tax. Salary is taxed harder on the individual but deductible from the corporates tax as a business expense. Sounds like it's roughly a balance in total tax contributions. Another possible benefit to the dividend is maybe no forced contribution to the mandatory retirement program (because the shareholder/employee distinction? I'm not going to go that deep down the rabbit hole.
which is not-taxed for the first $60,000 (our lady's whole salary)
True, but slightly misleading. In some provinces, with NO other income, with the right type of dividend, within specific value limits, then yes. Also, that's after corporate taxes, so even in the "not-taxed" case it's been taxed by the feds and the province once already.
This is based on very brief reading, so I'm not 100%.
https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/businesses/topics/corporations/corporation-tax-rates.html
The normal cooperate tax rate is 38% + whatever the province sticks on top of that. Canadians are being raped in taxes. But for a Canadian-controlled private business, qualifying for a small business deduction, then it drops to of 9%-12.2% up to the $500k OP precisely chose as an example. After that it jumps substantially. Same with the number they picked for the $60k dividend.
Second, IVF families are a radical break from the traditional family structure
To be pedantic, this isn't technically true. "IVF" describes the technique, not who the sources of genetic material. A married couple doing IVF, screening out the embryos who have the markers for grandpa's heart condition, and implanting it into the wife is still IVF. It would also still be a standard nuclear family.
If the dentist is not there, the hygienist has no job. A lot of offices will have several hygienists to one dentist. Is the dentist 10x more valuable to the continued operation of the establishment? Yes.
This is "the secretary is just important as the boss" thinking. They're not. If the clerical work was as important as the main job, the boss would be doing it themselves or split with an equal partner. The whole reason those specific tasks are offloaded is because they're doable by someone with less specialized skills, less training, and less experience.
Your post gets way to caught up in how it "feels" and misses reality completely. If every hygienist became a dentist, you'd have a bunch of dentists spending most of their time doing hygienist tasks, while being in competition with one another and under pressure to cut costs to compete (because the cost of dental care just skyrocketed). It would logically give rise to a specialized position to do the repetitive bulk tasks for less pay but also less investment. Which people would only accept if the effort/value proposition was amenable to them. It's not "slavery" or "humiliation," is basic-ass division of labor and a market working properly.
You're right about income taxes being bullshit though.
But back to your original question, why do you do what you do instead of having reached whatever the peak of power, money, and influence is? Are you happy being a slave? You're positing that it can only be habit or pleasure. You're also positing that you hate that. So you must incredibly successful, right? Because it'd be neither habit nor pleasure for you.
Not mutually exclusive. The corporation could both hate White people, especially their customers, and hire/promote based on Indian nepotism.
Their choices in game development certainly weren't made to appeal to the Indian market.
Bad meme, there's no year.
Woosh.
LG G4 OLED 4k
That's a minimum $1,700, 2024 TV. LG's flagship. Paired with a six year old entry-level GPU. And DDR4 released to market in 2014.
The joke is in the context. Even if it should run, it's not a "High End PC."
I'd give them the map specifically because it was a handheld port. With a console, having pencil and paper around is fine. If you're taking the GBA with you on a trip or something like that, it becomes enough of an impediment that you'd switch games.
Gary Stu's are aspirational. They go on the hero's journey, pay dues, suffer, and come out larger than life.
On that note, has "Transported to Another World With An Absolutely Broken Power And A Harem of Big Titty Girls From Every Fantasy Race Who Fell In Love With Me At First Sight" season 15 started yet?

You're thinking the gang is going to kill themselves in retaliation for killing one of their own?
This. He thought we'd get to Mars in 10 years. We didn't. He's got a better sense of how things actually move. He wants to see the big step happen, so he's got to pull in the goalposts.
