Come to Australia, where 15% of what you earn goes to tax on minimum wage. The more you earn, the higher that % goesm, you pay tax to buy things, pay tax to sell things, and lets not forget the great carbon tax...

Double taxation exists here too.
Also, higher income brackets can get taxed up to ~43%.

Are we on the list?

Quote
On August 1, the government will start simultaneously sending requests to delete illegal anime and manga contents to the operators of the 580 foreign pirate sites which they have found. In addition, the operation will launch a new site to guide the fans to a legitimate site offering some 250 titles including
the latest ones at a cost of several hundred yen.

Any other sources for this? I haven't seen it in the Japanese news, and I'm apparently not worthy of reading anything on CR's site, but I'm curious to know what exactly's going on.

Living in "advanced civilization" seems "taxing".

Getting pretty close to 1000 pages. I sense a general chit chat thread 4 coming soon

Those on the first and last pages will be forever remembered.

Wow, I may check back later today and find Chit Chat Thread 3 gone. Well, it's been a fun ride.

It's been over a full year since this thread was created.

Whatever happened at 1000 pages in General Chit Chat 2? My memory is fuzzy.

Just because the last one ended at 1000. Are we going to 2000 again?

Krudda · « **Reply #19852 on:** July 30, 2014, 06:16:15 PM »

Chiyachan specifically specified 1000 pages several times throughout this thread. Of course it doesn't mean he'll lock it at exactly 1000.

Bob, yeah, I'll link some more later

It also seems someone opened a thread here.

Chiyachan · « **Reply #19853 on:** July 30, 2014, 06:30:43 PM »

Where's your evidence for both of these comments?

Krudda · « **Reply #19854 on:** July 30, 2014, 06:41:24 PM »

Soon as I finish posting this, if you insist.

Oh very nice, you deleted it.

That new search engine to stop piracy is fucking useless. I'm interested in actually buying shit, so tried it out, and it couldn't give me any results for anything I actually searched for.

I haven't deleted anything. :| I'm just playing EVE.

The original went up to 2000. I decided it was excessive.
So now we have it closed at 1000 pages. To keep it amusing, special and loving... We pick AMAZING people to start the next.
Maybe when you're a decent person you'll get to start an official general chat thread eh?

There's another quote, but I don't care. One is enough. Search the thread for "1000 pages" and you'll get the results 2/3 down the list in the form of IRC logs

How do I add a partial section of Sankaku Complex from their image gallery into my RSS? Like for example, I want to have an RSS that will only get stuff from Date a Live only. I don't see any RSS or Feed links to just do that.

Does it really matter? Maybe it'll close, maybe it won't. We'll just have to wait and see.

I'm not worried of it does, or doesn't. He called me for proof, and I delivered. That's all I was doing there.
