It's taxed at the same rate when you realise it. But with a buyback you can choose when you realise the gain (and e.g. do it in a year where you have losses to offset) whereas with a dividend you don't have a choice, you receive it when it's paid and get taxed on it that year.

Which one and where? (For exactly the reason you think)

Capital gains is what a buyback gives you. And you can choose when to realise the gain - or for a stock that's gone down like Niji then you can just let it soak up your losses. Whereas if you get paid a dividend then you have to pay tax on it this year, which might mean you can't offset your...

And give your shareholders more awkward tax obligations for no benefit? The tax code is like unto a child that has not achieved normal intellectual development for its age range, but as a business you just have to deal with it.

She's working hard on the Reddit engagement and was doing the shorts thing, IMO people are responding to the effort more than the specific niche. I don't even like cars that much.

Why do I picture him trying to lure 2views over like a man with candy in his van?

More relevantly there's a big meme concept of "June bride" in Japan, so a lot of entities will do bride themed stuff in June.

Japan, that's why they do most of their live events there. If boycotts don't work then why do they ban boycotting Israel? I thought we already knew it was some highly placed insider's pet project? That's the only thing that makes sense, neither fans nor investors are asking for it. Isn't that...

Only autists take "never" that literally.

Well that's what the favouritism claims are about yeah.

No, just to have gone years without genuine female affection.

It's not a huge mistake, indeed it's the traditional thing to do. The hot spring inn kind of yukata is a different thing from the festival/watching fireworks kind of yukata, and it's mainly for going to and from the bath. As long as it fits you well enough that you're not going to show anything...

That's part of the appeal. "Si" is the correct romanisation for し, "shi" is pandering to the English only readers. Numi has relatable horny virgin energy, kind of like Scarle in a less directly pandering way. She tells a lot of stories that are essentially "I saw an attractive woman and...

a) based b) this would be different from what meeting an actual superfan is like how? Gives them a place to petition the Japanese government from is probably the main advantage. They've recently revised the slander laws.

Because it's a bullshit midwit meme lie? Myers-briggs has test-retest reliability of like 60-80% and is substantially correlated with e.g. big5. It's got more scientific validity than most shit that people accept without question. I hope you keep getting muted and timed out and keep being mad...

Funny but no, she looks decent, good even. Any problems she has are all at the personality level.

Can confirm Japan is already hot as balls. Hopefully the rainy season will bring a few weeks' relief.

Those circles are mostly made up of people who are sort of colleagues but also very much rivals. It's the same problem that actors or comedians have - you want friends who understand this thing that you do all day, but the nature of it is that those are the people you're competing with for your...

Nah. I'm very much aware. I've spent years fighting the good fight, and made significant life changes, at significant cost, to ensure that, for example, my children will not be going through that education system. I do not think these things are unimportant. But I know the value of my time (and...

These judgements should be personal. Rules that they then abuse is how they get you. I've got a lot more respect for someone who'll stand up and say that they've banned x, y and z because they don't like them, than someone who hides behind a selectively interpreted code (because it always ends...
