I know how it works I live in the EU. I think the VAT exemption is possible when you buy digital goods. Ive bought plenty of things on websites where I can just enter my business VAT number and don’t pay the VAT

Edit: apparently the rule is that on b2b cross border sales between businesses in different EU countries there is no VAT charged.

On many online B2B stores you can just enter your VAT number and you don’t have to pay the VAT as a business.

It’s where the word sinister comes from. In Latin it just means left, left hand side. Then in Medieval times the right got positive associations and the left negative which lead to left is bad then to evil. Hence sinister means evil. And why left handedness became associated with the devil.

And why is it so relatively cheap? Where did they cut corners? Are they spying on you like the cheap Chinese TVs? It can’t be just because it’s government subsidized.

Business jargon comes from soldiers when they joined the corporate world after ww2. https://youtu.be/HSbYUEaAwLI

So if you use jargon you basically engage in Tactical LARPing. Might as well use fantasy words and LARP as a wizard in the office.

Yeah because people are more well rested with 3 days off. So they can focus better during the workday.

So how can one study the true Bible where to find a faithful translation

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago (3 children)

So Christians don’t know jack shit either since every historical fact is lost in translation or just corrupted and misconstrued for a personal agenda.

This is what happens when you design games by quantifying everything into a number for a spreadsheet so a manager can read a report. Bet they did a playtest with their “target” audience aka non-gamers Sony wants to convince to buy a PlayStation for this game remember execs and shareholders only care about growing the player base. And some manager looked at the playstest numbers, noticed that many people couldn’t finish the section. And then ordered the team to make sure 90% of non-gamer playtesters can finish the game.

What’s interesting is that the North American studios are actually managed by Nintendo Japan and not NoA. There are interviews with ex Retro Studio employees where they talk about how producers from Japan and Shigeru Miyamoto come into the studio once in a while and start telling the Retro Studio staff what minute things they should change in the game they are working on.
