Our dishwasher has a bright ass white LED when it's done and clean. As long as you don't open the door it's lit up like the Lighthouse of Alexandria. If you're opening the door, you need to just empty it. Even with that we have a magnet that says "Hella Clean" on one side and "Dirty AF" on the other, makes people actually want to swap it around since it's not just a basic boring ass dirty/clean sign.

I didn't even realize that, last I had heard was them putting it before the third jury, and then that there was going to be a trial.

I'm sure we all know the phrase that a prosecutor could get a grand jury to "indict a ham sandwich". It took prosecutors THREE Grand Juries to finally get an indictment for someone throwing that sandwich.

It's all a complete waste of time and taxpayer funds, and in any other point in history these prosecutors would have been fired immediately for incompetence at even considering an indictment in the first place, not even considering the possibility that they would try for three attempts.

Black Flag was a mediocre Assassin's Creed game, at best. It was a phenomenal pirate game

To be fair, those are the exception to the general rule that licensed games suck.

And the LEGO games are sort of cheating. They have no right to be as good as they are.

They could request a bench trial. No jury, just the judge.

Nearly everything is a derivative of something from before. Occasionally something new comes up though. I don't remember anything like Getting Over It seems to have created the Foddian game genre for example. And while Balatro uses relatively normal cards for its base, the gameplay itself is unique.

So how is that fake? I can’t do any of those things you mention in the first paragraph.

You're not rich enough where banks know you always have stock available to give them. Where there's virtually no limit to your stock pool that the bank can just liquidate after the fact. You need to be in the top .1% for that. The fact you're on lemmy means that's not a possibility in the slightest.

Getting loans based on assets is not at all the same as selling those assets.

It is for the rich. That's why so many don't care about their traditional salary. That's why so many went out of their way to advertise they were taking a $1 salary during the recession, or even today. Because their salary is subject to income tax, but loans are not. You can get the same end result of cash in hand by receiving your pay in stock, then taking loans against that stock.

To be fair, all that money is effectively fake until the shares are sold.

So 90% of the self-proclaimed "power users".

Probably the wording in the article that seems to say exactly that?

The Singapore Government’s Factually website states that all goods brought into Singapore are subject to goods and services tax, currently pegged at 9 per cent. However, travellers are granted GST import relief based on the duration of their trip.

Those who have been overseas for 48 hours or more are entitled to GST relief of up to $500. For trips under 48 hours, the value is capped at $100. The GST rate is currently pegged at 9 per cent.

These amounts apply to the total value of goods bought overseas, excluding liquor and tobacco. Any value above the relief limit is taxable, and travellers are required to declare it upon or prior to arrival.

Singapore work permit, employment pass, student pass, dependent pass or long-term pass holders, as well as crew, are not entitled to GST import relief.

The term goods isn't specified, but could easily be interpreted to mean absolutely anything they want potentially.
