in belgium the government keeps track of that shit
but your employer can decide how much to deduct from your pay already to pay taxes
in accordance with your of course
to roughly match what the government will expect
then at the en of the year you declare your income, and then you either get some money back or have to pay extra

I'm almost a million away of becoming a millionaire.
ancient ingot
lol
fun fact, the tax people are the only entity in the UK that can enter your house without a search warrant
fluid bloom
tax office does get data of salaries and stock sales and all that but we have to present an estimate of the amount of salary you get in a year in order to get an income tax rate
proud jay
I think the government owes me like 600 euros atm
fluid bloom
my estimate used the salary data of my old job the previous year
fluid bloom
but I switched jobs to a better paying one
proud jay
I see
fluid bloom
so in order to correct that now I pay 50% for the rest of the year
proud jay
lowst tax bracket here is 25%
ancient ingot
😮
proud jay
and that is only up to 13k earnings lol
fluid bloom
in Finland that would be 0% tax
proud jay
I know
ancient ingot
Average income tax per household in the UK in 2020/21, by decile. In 2021, households in the top decile in the United Kingdom paid, on average, 49,666 British pounds in income tax
proud jay
I worked in finland
proud jay
although I think the first 9k is also tax free in belgium though
ancient ingot
average per person here is 28% ish
proud jay
ancient ingot
9k? dam here is £12k
proud jay
I need to make like 20 children to reduce my tax rate
ancient ingot
lol
This increases to 40% for your earnings above £50,270 and to 45% for earnings over £150,000.
proud jay
also you used to be able to write off the interest on your home loan as an expense to reduce taxes
but they got rid of that 🙃
ancient ingot
im going to hungary, their highest tax bracket is 15% 😐
ancient ingot
i dont mind paying that cause ive used it alot lol

Sucks.
proud jay
and I get a whopping 40 euros if I buy new glasses
ancient ingot
😮 wow
proud jay
also your employer already pays 35% tax before you receive your money here as well
guess why belgium struggles with international competition
ancient ingot

my eyes are strange
I have astigmatism

I'm willing to bet most people do to an extent.

no one here has healthy eyes afaik, i wonder if game dev has anything to do with it or it's just everyone
proud jay
I went running without glasses last week, sad to see how my left deteriorated over the years
fleet tangle
Astigmatism is caused by misshapen eyes, right? Your eyes are just changing shape as you get older.
ancient ingot
yup
fleet tangle
no one here has healthy eyes afaik, i wonder if game dev has anything to do with...

my mum, and grandparents had it so yep
proud jay
my brother should wear glasses but he just doesn't lol
but tbh he doesn't read much either
deep copper
my brother should wear glasses but he just doesn't lol
his eyesight might get worse quicker
proud jay
I have another brother that only wears them for reading
and then another that just like me wears them pretty much all the time
fleet tangle
To be fair, if you don't have to, don't.
proud jay
his eyesight might get worse quicker
actually glasses sometimes make your eyes worse
because they don't have to work much
so they become lazier
deep copper
isn't it usually "they have to work too much so it got bad"?
ancient ingot
it i dont wear mine everything is weirdly out of phase, not quite double vision, but has a slight blur to it, and much less clarity, hard to explain
proud jay
I think a lot of people have bad vision, but just don't know it tbh lol
fleet tangle
If I don't wear mine, everything is a blur. I can read text on my phone at about 2 inches.
My eyes are fab.
proud jay
without mine I can read stuff at longer distances
fleet tangle
Make that 4 inches.
proud jay
but things close by like on my screen are not blurry but like kinda just unsharp and overlapping

celest musk
they also wanted to sell me glasses lately, when i made an eye checkup
celest musk
but i felt like they scam around, weirdo sale practices
proud jay
the promos we have here sometimes are so random but like still good deal
like when I bought my glasses, I could get a second pair for free
normally they expect you to pick sunglasses
but I just got the same glasses in a different color lol
celest musk
e.g. they showed a 3D image, but only for one eye each time, then adjusted the glasses and then took of the other eye, so you got a bit of an surprise of actually seeing it 3D in the first moment
celest musk
when i left the store i realized, that you need both eyes to see 3D in the first place
😄
proud jay
hmm
never had a 3d test for individual eyes lol
that is indeed wild
normally I have the reading the letters thing
celest musk
and she tried to make me feel guilty for still driving a car
proud jay
then reading with some filters, like red and green
celest musk
like i couldn't see anything at all 😄
proud jay
and then they have this thing you look into to see a balloon or christmas tree that can automatically detect your eye focus
celest musk
yea they had that, too
proud jay
like i couldn't see anything at all 😄
damn, crazy sales technique
celest musk
my eyes seem to be off a bit, and glasses may fix it
but maybe also starring less at a screen would fix it 😄
proud jay
If you can live without ti who cares
screens are actually not bad for your eyes in the long term
they do make your eyes more tired in the moment
but have no lasting effect
celest musk
well, i don't "see" much on far distance, so quite possible that the brain and eyes adapt to that
proud jay
afaik at least
celest musk
like, i look at least 12h a day at a screen
maybe even more...
some days it's probably 18h 😄
celest musk
screens are actually not bad for your eyes in the long term
well, can't be "healthy" to always have a view distance of <1m
ancient ingot

celest musk
that's a modern thing

well, can't be "healthy" to always have a view distance of <1m
true
but that also happens if you read a book tbh
celest musk
yea

celest musk

I think it's recommended to view something in the distance for like 2 min every 30 min

cold cathode
celest musk
CRT is something else
celest musk
it's a backlight tech, which pretty much all LCDs had until like 10 years ago
i'm pretty sure you used it but you aren't aware of it 😄
proud jay
idk man 10 years ago I was still using the family compute 😭
so idk what that shit was on
celest musk
CRT on the other hand... was a wild tech 😄

The whole free speech thing is a selling point to a lot of people, not just right wing. I mean, I like free speech and I'm not right wing. But I can see the obvious pull from that side of the fence. Although freedom of speech is variable depending on whose house you are in.

we home school. That part is shared between her doing the english, science, history etc and me doing the maths and any specific technical artist questions that come up as my son and daughter both want in the games industry so do art and programming. The other thing is I wouldn't be able to work if she went because I'd be looking after the kids. 3 of them need attention, one needs constant attention because he's only three. So rather than me doing that and being pissed, and her thinking I resent her for it, I went to do the house stuff.
