Edelweiss, cactus, orchid !

edelweiss - amaranthus is a genus of flowers/plants with tightly packed flowers, which are usually a dark pink or magenta in color, and are collectively known as amaranths. i actually picked my name based upon the coloring and having characteristics of or relating to it (-ish without the h suffix) :> but i lov flowers

cactus - not currently learning anything but i think i'm going to take an e-course on how to be a bartender as soon as my adhd brain refocuses on something other than fanfiction and sleep. it's one of my current hyperfixations, mixology, but yknow how it is. can't enjoy the thing i desire the most.

orchid - from a personal point of view or a technical one? the latter, i have no idea. i don't think theres anything that could be considered perfect, or masterful enough to rise above the rest. songs are all good in their own ways or have individuals singing their praises from others for some reason. i mean, not ALL songs, some are.. dogshit, for sure. but for the former i think i like self-sabotage by waterparks. i feel like it describes me very well as a person, both past and present (more so past but whateverrrrrrrr) and it makes for a good stim to listen to it on repeat. i'm not sure i'd go so far to say it's a songkin of mine but i definitely feel attached to it. (if youre curious, the song i am actually kin with is bambous by caravan palace, which is another fantastic one.)

Re: digital art software, I honestly find clip studio paint the closest to sai that I've seen. They have a free trial on their website if you ever want to try it out :0

i HAVE been wanting to try csp bc my siblings and friends who also used to use sai switched to it and it's been highly recommended to me so perhaps i will :')

Hold on. Tax implications of androids ?! Explain

Okay so bear with me here. A big point made in the game is that people are being displaced in the workforce by androids. Also, there is a point in the game where you find out household androids retail for around $10,000 USD, which is ridiculously cheap for a piece of machinery that advanced. Cars cost a lot more and are way less advanced. Me, being a tax accountant at the time the game came out, I started thinking about how business would treat the purchase of androids for financial reporting and tax purposes. First off, if we assumed that work model androids went for the same cost (though they could cost more who knows), it makes a sickening amount of sense that companies were just buying a whole bunch of androids and booting out human workers. They could easily buy like 4 to 7 androids for the cost of one basic office worker's salary alone. And they wouldn't have to pay any kind of payroll taxes for them, wouldn't have to worry about things like healthcare or benefits packages. Androids need none of that. They're machines, you'd treat them just like any other machine. And then you get to the thing that really got stuck in my head: depreciation. See when businesses buy assets like machinery or equipment or, in this case, androids, they don't have to record that full expense in the year they buy them. They can depreciate those assets over a period of years, a bit at a time, recording a portion of the expense on their income statement each year.

For example, a company could depreciate an android over a period of 5 years (the standard depreciation period we currently use for vehicles). That means for five years they can record $2,000 of the original cost of that $10,000 android each year. That looks much nicer on the yearly income statements compared to booking the $10,000 expense all in the same year.

A company's depreciation expense reduces the amount of earnings on which they pay taxes in a given year, reducing the amount of taxes they owe. And thus it's obvious that greedy corporations would flock to the idea of replacing their human workforce with androids.

Don't become an accountant. It makes you think of all sorts of weird shit like this in every type of media you consume.

Do you still want to hear about people's fave Pokémon? I have a few favorites, but my top 3 have always been Scizor, Umbreon and Meowth! also a huge fan of Salandit, Scraggy and Greninja. I love creatures that are just little guys lol

Excellent choices, I especially agree with Salandit and Scraggy because they just seem to have such personalities.

You just reminded me; I would have trouble picking a favourite eeveelution but I've recently really liked Umbreon cuz I have one in PokeGo named Jon. I have accidentally lied now, to whoever I told that my favourite was Glaceon, because I forgot this...

And honestly, it doesn't have to be favourite Pokemon, especially if people shared with me before. I just love talking about creatures

13. Where or from whom did you learn how to gif

OMG can u believe I had gimp like, a million years ago? I think is was somewhere from forumcummunity of some yt video.. I really cannot remember exactly but here more recently I learned more or less from fyeahps or what was is called, I think it’s deleted now, psresources or something like it!

it depends I guess? not much for a simple one, I can make it like in an half an hour at most, if it hasen’t anything special.  maybe the one I had it on going was the tenet summary, It took almost a week to be finished bc I kept editing the lines lol

i relate to walt because i too would raise hell to avenge kiki

Fair, fair lmao

To me, he’s actually misguided by the US government’s propaganda surrounding the War on Drugs, and his involvement has a lot to do, of course, with his brother’s death. This fight is personal for him. He wants revenge. The Americans gladly turned Camarena into a martyr and paraded his name around, which is disgusting, tbh
