2023.03.21 17:29 Bizzle_worldwide IRS issues guidance, seeks comments on nonfungible tokens (IR-2023-50)
WASHINGTON — The Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service today announced that they are soliciting feedback for upcoming guidance regarding the tax treatment of a nonfungible token (NFT) as a collectible under the tax law. Today’s guidance also requests comments on the treatment of NFTs as collectibles and describes how the IRS intends to determine whether an NFT is a collectible until the further guidance is issued.
A nonfungible token (NFT) is a unique digital identifier that is recorded using distributed ledger technology and may be used to certify authenticity and ownership of an associated right or asset. Distributed ledger technology, such as blockchain technology, uses independent digital systems to record, share and synchronize transactions, the details of which are recorded simultaneously on multiple nodes in a network. A token is an entry of data encoded on a distributed ledger. A distributed ledger can be used to identify ownership of both NFTs and fungible tokens, such as cryptocurrency, as described in
Rev. Rul. 2019-24.
Section 408(m)(2) of the tax code provides for a specific list of items that constitute collectibles for certain purposes. Acquisition of a collectible by an individual retirement account (IRA) or individually-directed account of a qualified plan is treated as a distribution from the account equal to the cost to the account of the collectible. Generally, collectibles also do not have as advantageous capital-gains tax treatment as other capital assets.
Until additional guidance is issued, the IRS intends to determine when an NFT is treated as a collectible by using a “look-through analysis.” Under the look-through analysis, an NFT is treated as a collectible if the NFT’s associated right or asset falls under the definition of collectible in the tax code. For example, a gem is a collectible under section 408(m); therefore, an NFT that certifies ownership of a gem is a collectible.
In
Notice 2023-27, the Treasury Department and the IRS are requesting comments on any aspect of NFTs that might affect the treatment of an NFT as a collectible as well as certain comments specifically set out in the notice.
-------------------------
Notice 2023-27 linked above gives instruction on how to provide feedback as follows:
The Treasury Department and the IRS request comments on any aspect of NFTs that might affect the treatment of an NFT as a section 408(m) collectible. In particular, the Treasury Department and the IRS request comments on the following:
- Does this notice provide an accurate definition of an NFT or are there other definitions of NFTs that should be used in future guidance?
- With respect to the look-through analysis—
- Are there instances in which there are concerns with applying the analysis and in which an alternate analysis may be more appropriate?
- What burdens does the analysis impose?
- How might the analysis be applied to an NFT with more than one associated right or asset (for example, if one of the associated rights or assets of an NFT is a section 408(m) collectible but another one is not a section 408(m) collectible)?
- How might the potential for the owner of an NFT to receive additional rights or assets (such as additional NFTs) due to ownership of the NFT (even in the absence of a specific contractual right under the NFT) be treated?
- Are there other factors to consider when determining whether an NFT is a section 408(m) collectible? For example -
- What factors might be considered to determine whether a digital file constitutes a “work of art” under section 408(m)(2)(A)?
- What factors might be used to determine whether an asset is “tangible personal property” under section 408(m)(2)(F), particularly in the context of digital files?
- What factors might be relevant if the NFT’s associated right is less than full ownership of an asset (for example, if the associated right is simply personal use of a digital file)? 4.
- Does the application of section 408(m) to an individually directed account under a qualified plan raise any issues other than those raised for individual retirement accounts?
- What other guidance relating to NFTs would be helpful?
Comments should be submitted in writing on or before June 19, 2023, and should include a reference to Notice 2023-27. Comments may be submitted electronically via the Federal eRulemaking Portal at
www.regulations.gov (type “Notice 2023-27” in the search field on the Regulations.gov home page to find this notice and submit comments).
Alternatively, comments may be submitted by mail to: Internal Revenue Service Attn: CC:PA:LPD:PR (Notice 2023-27), Room 5203 P.O. Box 7604 Ben Franklin Station Washington, D.C. 20044. The Treasury Department and the IRS will publish for public availability any comment submitted electronically or on paper to its public docket.
------------------------
TD;DR: This is the public feedback period that will determine how NFTs are taxed, and guidance as to how they're currently leaning. If you have something to say, SAY IT TO THEM NOW.
Posting on the internet and sitting on your hands doesn't influence tax policy. Submitting feedback to the IRS during their feedback period does. submitted by

I thought this patch was going to have the update where Infinite players could only get matched up with other Infinite players, but I guess not. When do we get updates to the matchmaking and MMR system?

2023.03.21 17:28 Billy_PepeHands Feeling lost, confused, sad, angry after a break up
I have been dating this girl for about 3 months talking for maybe a little more. Anyways things were good and I guess the honeymoon phase was great. But over time I found flaws and there were a lot of issues that I never brought up to her that I did not like. For example she would talk about her ex a lot, or at times criticize me because I was not always the best communicator but I did try, even though I only dated her for 3 months I told her things that no one else heard. Even my older ex with who I was with for almost 2 years did not know.
She suffered from mental issues, bipolar, depressive, maybe borderline personality. At times she would not talk, or just lay in bed all day, I could never be around her and fully be myself, I felt like I was walking on egg shells because sometimes a joking comment would just ruin her mood for the whole day. Like one time we raced each other in the park just for fun, I jokingly said "run faster", I did not mean it in any rude way, my tone was happy/joking like, but she took it the wrong way, stopped running, and then I felt bad. She does have poor control over her emotions, and naturally I like to joke as my personality. I remember we were having a great weekend for the most part, but then there was an external problem with one of her friends, she cried and pretty much did not talk to me even though I was only trying to be supportive.
In all this lead me to tell her that I was loosing feelings for her because I could not see myself with her long term. This made her cry, depressed and but I was being honest. And we talked about it, but I was not going to break up with her but one thing she asked before starting the relationship was to be honest. This all just slowly gets worse, she would constantly bring up the fact that I said that to her and "How can she ever be with me knowing in the back of my head I had no feelings for her", she would tell me this a few times a day when we would hang out.
I just could not do it, that initial happiness and joy to see her, became nothing. Those drives to get her and hang out at times felt like chores, I was happier to leave her and go back to my place than to be with her. I felt bad and guilty because she had so many characteristics that I want, she was so easy to trust and never made me feel like she would cheat on me, she was open, smart, but the negatives were too big in my head.
This lead to us breaking up, she begged me to stay, I felt like shit, I felt guilty. She called my friends and said that she just wants me to "love her" and she would text them so much that they had to block her. I felt guilty, sad but then angry. I have never felt like that in any breakup before.
Fast-forward now, its just a cycle of me missing her, then hating that I met her, then sadness, then wanting to get back together. I stalked her socials, I know I shouldn't, but she was hospitalized for 2 weeks after our breakup, she is now posting a lot of things about healing, and missing me but also knowing her self worth etc. I feel sad, I want to talk to her, I want to get back together but I do not know why. I know how I felt in those moments and I know I had no feelings, but I still miss her.
It is strange because my first breakup I just felt so sad but got over it. My next one was so easy and it was a mutual breakup. But this last one is just particularly hard. It opened up a lot of emotions and feelings deep down. I never though about going to therapy but am now on a waitlist. I just don't know what to do. Its funny there is this girl which pretty much told me she liked me a few weeks ago, and we text, and before this relationship I would have loved to take her out, but now its like I dont even care.
I dont know exactly what I am asking here, more of venting, but just want to know if anyone else felt like this and if anyone has any advice.

2023.03.21 17:28 Unhappy_Ad1967 AITA for being a bad host to my vegan friend?
Okay, so I have this vegan friend who's always talking about how great veganism is and how it's the only ethical way to live. She always goes on and on about "How good the vegan life is" and tries to convert me so I feel "skinnier and better". She even convinced me to try veganism for a week, and let me tell you, it was the most depressing week of my life.
Anyway, my vegan friend invited her vegan friend over for a dinner party, and I knew I had to step up my vegan game. I spent hours searching for vegan recipes, and I even went to a specialty vegan store to buy some expensive vegan ingredients. Nothing but the best for the oh so special vegan queens, right?
When the vegan friend arrived, she immediately started complaining about how the food wasn't "vegan enough." She demanded to know the source of every ingredient and whether they were ethically sourced.
I was so confused. I thought I had done everything right. But apparently, I guess had forgotten to buy a "special" kind of vegan cheese that probably only grows on the top of the Himalayan mountains or something like that. Makes about as much sense as what they were yelling about.
The vegan friend was absolutely livid, and my vegan friend was also upset with me for not being a better vegan host. They both started lecturing me about the importance of ethical veganism and how I was contributing to the destruction of the planet by not being a better vegan.
I finally had enough and just told them I don't care about their "Vegan elitism" and made them leave. My friend hasn't been speaking to me ever since.
I tried my best to accommodate their vegan demands, but they made me feel like I was committing a crime by not being a perfect vegan host. I think they were being ridiculous and entitled, but maybe I'm in the wrong here. What do you guys think?

2023.03.21 17:27 SchnauzerLogic Imported Playlists (from Soundiiz or SongShift or TuneMyMusic or XML or CSV) are Empty
Would love some help from the collective wisdom: Have been using the tools mentioned in the title to move playlists from Spotify to my Apple Music account for years with great success. Haven't done this in about 6 months but when I went to move some new playlists today the resulting playlists on AM are empty (or perhaps have a song or two). No error messages are given in the transfer and if I do an export to XML or CSV and look at the files they're populated correctly.
I did notice discussions regarding song limits and my music library has 80,861 songs and 341 playlists, but I believe these are both below the official limits.
Any advice? Thanks!

2023.03.21 17:27 clumsyrunnergal FTM Lost mucus plug after cervical exam - others experiences?
I’m currently 36+4 weeks pregnant and yesterday had my first cervical check to see where I was with regard to scheduling an induction. I had some light bleeding after the check but that seemed to be expected. However, today I definitely lost my mucus plug. I’m assuming the cervical check knocked it loose somehow but I’m curious if others have experience with this? When I called the doctor’s office, the response was “this is exciting! It means your body is preparing for birth and doing what it needs to.” But if it was because of the cervical check, it feels like it’s not “real” progress.

2023.03.21 17:27 aquialy Seeking Suggestions: Where Should I Study for the 2023 Bar Exam Away from NYC's High Rent Prices?
Hey fellow Redditors!
So, I'm about to finish up my LLM year in May and the next thing on my to-do list is studying for the July 2023 bar exam. As you all probably know, living in NYC can be quite expensive, especially when it comes to rent.
So, I'm thinking of studying for the bar exam in another area for the two months leading up to it. That way, I can save some money and avoid the high rent prices here in NYC.
I wanted to ask for your suggestions on which areas I should consider. I'm open to any ideas and recommendations! It doesn't necessarily have to be a big city, I just need a place where I can focus on studying without breaking the bank.

2023.03.21 17:27 Much_Leadership_419 AITA for wanting to take my time with my degree
So, here’s the story: I’ve always loved working with PC’s and code. I used to spend hours making awful Minecraft and Skyrim mods and I love to disassemble and reassemble things. I did pretty poorly in highschool (due to personal issues) but now I’m knocking it out of the park in college.
I initially started with a degree in CyberSec but quickly got bored with it, so I swapped over to CompSci. I’ve been doing excellent in my classes but my mom is demanding that I get my associates degree by the end of this winter…which is a problem as the classes I require to graduate are completely different from CyberSec.
She mainly wants me to get my associates cause she wants me to work and have my own health insurance. Currently, I’m on my dads health insurance…which will run out when I’m 26 (I’m 22). To further complicate this: I take ADHD meds and HRT. Both of these would be extremely expensive on their own.
To even further complicate things: I can’t get a job in my state. I live in a small rural town with very few job opportunities (I was rejected by them multiple times) and I can’t drive (neither me or my family could afford the gas or insurance costs). This puts me in a bit of a bind.
I want to take my classes slow so I can continue pulling in A’s and growing my future job chances while my mom is begging me to rush through things so I can get a job that provides health insurance.
Am I the asshole in this situation?

2023.03.21 17:27 frnacispain Let's talk about Ellie and her supposed sacrifice on Tlou.
| •Let's talk about this. Lately I've seen this post about whether or not Ellie wanted to sacrifice herself for a vaccine. Let's discuss this before the whole game will tell you and Ellie herself says it in the original game that she doesn't know but she wouldn't either. •We go to the beginning when Joel and Ellie start to get to know each other. Ellie tells him that "we're friends I guess", which reveals that Ellie has no connection to Marlene (In the end she tells Joel that she knew Ellie when she was a baby which is false because he was never with her, okay, she wanted her "tutor", because Anna asked her). As time goes by, there is an optional conversation that many people seem to have not heard or paid attention to, which is important, it is a clue to the final scenario. •Joel - Sacrifice a few to save a lot. Ellie replies. It's bullshit. Vale esto reveals that Ellie thinks it's silly to sacrifice herself for something or many people and she agrees with that. Then at Tommy's dam, we see that Tommy will go to fix the generator and Joel will go with which Ellie reacts with 'Joel?' showing anguish and some fear, why he is separating from her. Okay we continue and Joe finds out that Ellie ran away from her we go for her. In the same scene we see that Ellie says that everything she wanted died or abandoned her, everyone except Joel pushing him on the spot because she needed it. Joel changes his mind and takes Ellie with the fireflies. (This scene itself disproves that Joel acted selfishly or that Ellie wanted to sacrifice herself when he was handed over by Tommy.) •Ok at the university there is another optional conversation, which says she is afraid that she will hurt him even if she draws some blood. Ellie has a very wry voice when she says where the fireflies are and that the cure is here. Winter Chapter Ellie takes care of Joel does not leave him alone. .When we are in SLC she is somewhat down there. Joel literally says that she was quieter than usual that day. Which indicates that she was somewhat distressed as to why she was getting close to the FF. Okay we see the scenes with the giraffes she says that she can't be in vain meaning that she's going to go ahead because there will be some blood samples and it will be quick, and she can go with Joel. We get into the tunnel she says that she would like to go learn to swim with Joel when she when she will finish this and to play the guitar. Joel falls on the bus which Ellie goes to her aid. This triggers Ellie to nearly drown but Joel rescues her in time. Performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Ethan knocks out Joel for reviving Ellie. Marlene tells him that they are going to operate on Ellie and that he can't see her. This provokes Joel's reaction because he knew that they were going to kill her, why Marlene was delirious with Anna, this is clear on a recorder. She herself tells Joel not to waste the gift (which was to leave him alive for now, because Ethan was going to kill him once he left the hospital without his things). •End of all Joel does not lie out of selfishness but out of altruism. Hey Ellie reveals that she has Survivor's Guilt this doesn't make any sense to me why there's nothing in the game that reveals this only comes out in the ending (which doesn't make sense, this could have been done by Neil to make an ambiguous ending (That's why I never mention Ellie's survivor's guilt, it doesn't make sense, just like Joel's lie.) Ok Ellie accepts Joel's lie because she doesn't want to know anything more about the fireflies. Ellie just wanted if immunity mattered but neither Marlene nor Jerry stopped her. She didn't want to wake her up for a piece of NO. Both the lie and Ellie's guilt remain if the fucking sense is plus those parts are vaguely written. •Finally stressing the question. In the first game there is nothing that says she would do it, the same game and she says no. But part 2 and the stupid retcon of her tells you yes. submitted by frnacispain to TheLastOfUs2 [link] [comments] |
2023.03.21 17:27 maggierhee-_- I have no clue whats going on
Hi, i am a 14 year old teenager and id like to explain my story first... I always grew up with my grandma and grandpa because my parents always worked... I loved my childhood despite not seeing them much... my life went on pretty well, i had friends and a 'modern' family...however, in april 2021 i received the news i had to move out my native town, to go in a place on the other side of the country, with only my dad's relatives whom i had no relationships with (except for my grandma) life felt fast during that time, and when i moved in june 2021 deep nostalgia just got in control of my body and i couldnt fit in my new school, however, by early 2022 life seemed great and i loved being here, i also had some sort of glow up so life was great. in june 2022 i went for a brief vacation back to my town, and when i got back, once again, nostalgia, and once again, by late 2022 things great again... but now, i felt more stressed and constantly drained... i started to go to therapy to school but girlie didnt help... I started developing small symptoms of OCD... not worrying but, yk... well, now in 2023, great friends nice! but... i started being more and more stressed because of school, stressed to a point in which i didnt feel real, i felt like my body was going by itself and was programmed to do things, and i'd come back whenever the schedule would change...i searched up what it was like, because, at least once a week it would happen, especially (and pretty much only) outside... things haven't got any better, it happens more often, and the symptoms are pretty much my head spinning, feeling like im put but my body's moving and i just feel like im witnessing my life. please, can anybody tell me what is going on?

2023.03.21 17:27 widowmainbutisuck Has Jimmy Lee said any Anti-Semitic things ?
There is a clear divide. I hate jimmy and don’t want him on the show because he’s clearly racist. He’s always racist towards black people, Hispanics, Asians, Arabic people and sexist towards women.
Has he been Anti-Semitic if he has he clearly doesn’t do it as much as his other racist/sexist comments.
I can’t help but feel if he was dropping Anti-Semitic comments as much as he drops racist comments about Hispanics and black people. Ethan would have a hard stand against Jimmy. But because it’s mostly about Hispanic people and black people he excuses it as “old timey” jokes
Dan is the only one who seems to understand why they shouldn’t have him on. And it’s hypocritical and racist of Ethan to keep bringing him back on. Worst example was when he told him to go to the kitchen to harass the workers. Then acts so shocked when Jimmy does something racist. Yet is still laughing the entire time.

2023.03.21 17:27 Anxious_Gene_8279 AITA for being upset my primary/only partner wasn’t being upfront with someone she’s talking to about us being together and poly and other things (in text)
context: my gf (21cisF) and i (22FtM) have been together almost 4 years now. nearly 2 years of our relationship i was still identifying as female and considered a lesbian. i came out as a tran man 2 years ago.
recently in the past 4~ months or so we decided to open up our relationship and explore polyamory and sexuality and such. We had a situation where she was going through a mania episode when we initially opened up 4 months ago due to bad meds. we decided to close back up until she was more stable. now she’s much more stable on new meds so we decided to open up again.
normally i don’t have an issue with the idea of her seeing other people. this is something i actually asked for as i’ve always been poly but never got a chance to actually explore it. she eventually was open to it. after we temporarily closed until we got her stable on the good meds, so naturally when i saw she was doing well, i brought up the topic of opening up again. she totally freaked out and completely backtracked. i told her it’s her decision if we remain monogamous or if she was ready to be open. she cried and claimed she wasn’t ready, but still said that we’re gonna be open anyway. so i just took it slow. i haven’t really gone out of my way to meet people and don’t really intend to do that, i like things to happen naturally. she seemed to make it known pretty regularly that she was not ready and i fully respected that and never even did anything. she always said that if i have someone of interest but she doesn’t, then it’s unfair even though she claimed she didn’t want to be with other people.
so you can imagine my frustration with this and i suggested that we don’t have to be open, once again. she said no, multiple times, to stay open. this was like 5 days ago. now she has been meeting people on tinder and such which is great! i’m glad she’s feeling comfortable to look into it now. but now that she has people she’s interested in, being open is no longer an issue. and now i’m a bit concerned because if i meet someone and things don’t work out with those people she’s interested in, she’s going to turn around and tell me it’s unfair again. i don’t want that and i communicated that to her if she can’t be okay with being other-partnered while i may or may not have a partner at the time, then we shouldn’t be open yet. she insisted to stay open because she wants to try it all out. fine. that’s ok. i’ll just be careful, right?
today, she has a date with a guy (19CisM). that’s great! he told her that he was gonna pay for everything and to be prepared because he wants to kiss. i think that’s really sweet and i’m happy that she found someone willing to treat her nicely… or so i thought.
the topic of her having a partner (me) finally came up in convo today since they started really talking a couple days ago. she has in her profile that she is looking for friends specifically because she really only hangs out with me. and that’s true. i encouraged her to at least try and find some friends because i can’t be the only one she spends time with. that’s a lot of pressure, you know?
anyway, after she informed him we were together, only because he said that on their second date he wants to “get dinner then come to [our] place and barely make it past the door already taking each others clothes off.” we have a rule that unless we have a mutual partner, it’s better to see our partners outside of our home since this is the home we built our way to having together, and i’d like to keep that just for us as it’s very sentimental to me. he told her that he knew she has a bf because it was in her bio…. however, he had no idea we were ENM/poly because her bio doesn’t state that and she failed to mention it sooner. he told her that he thought she just didn’t like me and was openly cheating. my red flags for him immediately shot up.
i told her that i’m not sure it’s a good idea to get involved with this guy, since he was willing to get with someone that he assumed was cheating on her bf. to me, that not only tells me that he would be willing to cheat on her or anyone else too, but that he has zero respect for me as the partner, so long as he gets what he wants from her. this truly gave me the icks bad and i told her that he’s likely going to be a cowboy after she showed me his profile where he claims that he’s “obsessive” and “traditional.” she said that he claims he’s understanding of the situation.
i got upset with her because as someone who loves her, i don’t want to see her getting in situations where i cannot help her out of. i also was upset because she didn’t bring me up until a few days later, or told him at the very least that she is currently poly. most cishet men we’ve encountered are NOT okay with this dynamic. especially not on our area! she told me she was gonna tell him about it in person, on their date. that seems a bit too late to mention it, and i was upset that she was willing to lead him on like that too? idk.
after she told him about us and he said all of what i mentioned, he proceeded to ask when the last time she kissed me was, if she actually likes me, and if i was clean. then proceeded to tell her that he won’t cancel their date but he only maybe will kiss her. i’m appalled because even after that conversation, i’m sure this guy has no idea that we are openly queer either, and something tells me that he’s gonna be possibly homophobic/transphobic with me when that topic comes up. this guy is giving me bad energy and i told my gf that if i were her, i wouldn’t go for him and if she does that’s her decision, but when it blows up in her face the only thing i can say is “i told you so.” basically told her i don’t approve but it’s not my decision, just don’t expect me to be happy about it if something bad comes from it. the guy seems sweet and i don’t want to keep her from getting all the nice treatment she deserves, but the way he reacted to her being open and in a poly relationship, apart from claiming to be obsessive and traditional makes me extremely uncomfortable for her. AITA for behaving a bit stand-offish and distant from her because she’s still choosing to see someone that already has a lot of Cowboy signs? and AITA for straight up being mad at her for not bringing our relationship up as soon as she started to talk to him on a more-than-friendly basis? i don’t think i am, but she definitely is upset with me for reacting the way i did, and thinks i’m being a bit of a dick about it. i have no idea what i can do with myself in this situation. what would you do?
thanks, reddit.

2023.03.21 17:27 kmstock Relationship Help
Ladies this is a question for you. Recently, my 1.5 month long relationship ended on her terms. Yes, this is a short time but things were going very well. Almost too well in fact. Things moved quickly (meeting family, friends, etc.) and we both admitted love for each other. The fault came when I moved too quickly and in a state of euphoria I bought her a $400 pearl necklace while in Japan and put a $150 towards her part of a friend induced beach trip over the summer. After a couple of days she went cold, gave me back the necklace and money. She said she cared for me but it was too much too soon, which I have come realize after analyzing this situation. She felts the gifts were disingenuous, which I can also understand. But I simply did it because she made me so darn happy and I wanted to do something nice. However, she said her gut feeling was off and would like to end the relationship. She did note she cared for me but it felt off.
I want to give her time and space because I probably need that as well. But the only reason I have found success in other parts of life is from working hard and caring for the people who are good to me. I do not want to lose her that easily. I want to be a man about it and fix my wrong doings and figure out a way to start fresh. Here is my question: Ladies what do you think is a genuine way to try and apologize without being pushy or overbearing? And, is it even an option? Do you think there is no hope?
I can take an honest answer. But I’m tired of hearing the same answers from my guy friends. Thank you!

2023.03.21 17:27 enoby666 Charlotte Reads: King of the Rising by Kacen Callender
So What’s It About?
A revolution has swept through the islands of Hans Lollik and former slave Loren Jannik has been chosen to lead the survivors in a bid to free the islands forever. But the rebels are running out of food, weapons and options. And as the Fjern inch closer to reclaiming Hans Lollik with every battle, Loren is faced with a choice that could shift the course of the revolution in their favor-or doom it to failure.
What I Thought
It looks like this book is just as polarizing as the first one, and I can understand why. It is by no means an easy read, and many of the elements that people seem to have disliked in the first one are present here. The biggest difference, though, is that Sigourney Rose is no longer the narrator - Loren Jannik, key member of the rebellion, is instead. I think many people will find him a much more tolerable narrator than Sigourney - I personally found Sigourney’s head a fascinating place to be but Loren is certainly a much more palatable protagonist.
The first book’s main strength to me was its willingness to look at the deeply uncomfortable matter of an oppressed person becoming complicit in the oppressive system to increase their own status and privilege. This is still very much a theme in King of the Rising - we see enslaved people who are still loyal to and love their masters because, as the book states, they have never known anything else and can’t face the risk of trying to imagine something else. There are people like Kalle who do hate the kongelig but think that you have to work within the system that exists and rise through the ranks, And, of course, there is still Sigourney, the poster child for complicitness who makes incessant justifications for her treachery before finally succeeding in her goals by destroying her people’s revolution. Beyond that, there are plenty of enslaved people who aren’t willing to risk their deaths for the sake of a freedom they think is impossible, and we see many people completely uninvolved in the revolution suffer and die as blanket punishments are meted out. Overall, I think Callendar’s ability to show all of these uncomfortable and ugly aspects of slavery and rebellion is this series’ greatest strength.
The book also focuses on the question of the “right” way to do a revolution. Loren is perpetually agonized by the question of how to proceed, not only because of his people’s limited resources and tiny numbers, but because he can’t decide between his own idealism and the army leader Malthe’s brutal practicality. He wonders if a bloody, brutal rebellion is necessary or if it only perpetuates the oppression his people were originally fighting against; if mercy is a way of forging into a new future or if it is simply naivety. Based on the disastrous outcome of his choices to spare and trust Sigourney and ignore all of Malthe’s advice, my sense is that the book’s overall message is essentially what Malthe tells Loren before he dies - you need a man like Malthe to get to freedom and a man like Loren to take over once it’s been established. Another huge theme is the way that division and distrust within revolutions are ultimately their downfall.
I think the book’s greatest strength is the exploration of these themes and questions. As for its weaknesses, you will find many infodump/summary paragraphs when characters use the kraft to read minds. Many people disliked this aspect of the first book, and it is present again here. In addition, there are some times where characters’ motivations don’t quite make sense - at one point Jytte threatens to kill Sigourney and then in the next chapter she offers her an alliance. In addition, I was confused that the inner circle of the rebellion does not try to root out their spy as soon as they know there is one. Finally, if you need a happy ending you should absolutely stay away from this one. It’s a slow spiral downwards on borrowed time to an unimaginably bleak conclusion with characters dying one after another. Loren reflects that as long as there are islanders, there will be rebels and they will keep fighting until they finally succeed - this is the only glimmer of hope in a story that is otherwise utterly hopeless.

2023.03.21 17:26 CAK3SPID3R I dream about how you were
at the beginning. When you were still love bombing me. But I also remember you being that kind and loving at random moments during our time together.
I remember watching the trees sway while we tripped, holding each other silently. That was such a magickal moment. One I'll never forget. It felt like a break through. Like our souls had finally connected in the way I had been hoping for, the way you made me feel the first night together.
You withheld your love from me like air, choking me until I had to lash out in self preservation. Begging you to understand how you made me feel worthless.
And though part of me hates you, apparently a part of me loves you. It's been years, why do I still have such vivid dreams of you? I suppose I'm idealizing a person who only exists when it's convenient for you.
We are both married now. My husband is everything I ever wanted in a lover.
I saw your wife do something absolutely psychotic to you in public and you just acted like you didn't notice. Why is that who you married?
Is it because she takes your coldness? I'm assuming you're driving her to the brink of insanity, just like you did me.
I remember you told me all your ex's were "crazy".
I was suicidal because of you. Of course I have contempt towards you. I see my worth now.
I gave you all the love I had, and for what? These stupid little dreams that make me feel guilty as I lay in bed next to my husband.
I wish you had ignored me at that show, just like every other time before.
Fuck you J.

2023.03.21 17:26 AnonymousDIL21 Dreading Announcing Pregnancy to JNMIL
Do not repost/share this on any platform
A little background: My JNMIL has wanted grandchildren since before my husband and I began dating and she has no issues expressing it. Boundaries don't exist with her. A month into dating, she was telling us to 'give me my grandbabies'. She's done the same thing to my SILs whom have stated they just don't want kids, but she persists.
Additionally, she wasn't present that much in her children's lives when they were younger. Basically raised by their grandparents, until the oldest was old enough to babysit. She does act like everyone is super close now and is offended that her kids keep her at arms length.
Fast forward to present day, and we are dreading telling her about the pregnancy. We've already decided to wait until we are ready to tell the rest of the world because she can't keep a secret and will absolutely explode when we tell her. We've also had an early loss and infertility, which she tried to lecture us on, which makes us even more apprehensive to tell her. DH gets stressed at the idea of telling her and we are both very concerned she's going to try to have a second chance at parenting with our child. Not to mention disrespect the boundaries we will set. We do live far from her and FIL, but truly feel it doesn't matter and she'll just 'visit' without a return ticket
*Note that FIL will just let her do what she wants because it's easier than fighting with her, because she will flip everything on you and play the victim
Pretty much just venting, but also wondering if anyone else is dealing with something similar

2023.03.21 17:26 Pegasus-Leech AITA for not wanted to yell at old people?
I work in healthcare and my least favorite thing (other than rude/mean people) is when older people come in and say “I didn’t wear my hearing aids so you’ll have to talk loud!” First of all, other people are hearing your health info through the walls as I yell “DO YOU TAKE THIS MEDICINE FOR HERPES?” Also, after completing an exam literally yelling the whole time, my throat hurts! I have to talk all day and I’ve literally almost lost my voice after some particularly hard of hearing patients. It makes me irrationally angry when people don’t bring their hearing aids to an appointment. AITA??

I'm tired of being watched by the police when I go out in public, I'm tired of time being frozen in place, and I'm tired of not being able to help other people.
I wanna do better.

2023.03.21 17:26 Bizzle_worldwide IRS issues guidance, seeks comments on nonfungible tokens (IR-2023-50)
WASHINGTON — The Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service today announced that they are soliciting feedback for upcoming guidance regarding the tax treatment of a nonfungible token (NFT) as a collectible under the tax law. Today’s guidance also requests comments on the treatment of NFTs as collectibles and describes how the IRS intends to determine whether an NFT is a collectible until the further guidance is issued.
A nonfungible token (NFT) is a unique digital identifier that is recorded using distributed ledger technology and may be used to certify authenticity and ownership of an associated right or asset. Distributed ledger technology, such as blockchain technology, uses independent digital systems to record, share and synchronize transactions, the details of which are recorded simultaneously on multiple nodes in a network. A token is an entry of data encoded on a distributed ledger. A distributed ledger can be used to identify ownership of both NFTs and fungible tokens, such as cryptocurrency, as described in
Rev. Rul. 2019-24.
Section 408(m)(2) of the tax code provides for a specific list of items that constitute collectibles for certain purposes. Acquisition of a collectible by an individual retirement account (IRA) or individually-directed account of a qualified plan is treated as a distribution from the account equal to the cost to the account of the collectible. Generally, collectibles also do not have as advantageous capital-gains tax treatment as other capital assets.
Until additional guidance is issued, the IRS intends to determine when an NFT is treated as a collectible by using a “look-through analysis.” Under the look-through analysis, an NFT is treated as a collectible if the NFT’s associated right or asset falls under the definition of collectible in the tax code. For example, a gem is a collectible under section 408(m); therefore, an NFT that certifies ownership of a gem is a collectible.
In
Notice 2023-27, the Treasury Department and the IRS are requesting comments on any aspect of NFTs that might affect the treatment of an NFT as a collectible as well as certain comments specifically set out in the notice.
-------------------------
Notice 2023-27 linked above gives instruction on how to provide feedback as follows:
The Treasury Department and the IRS request comments on any aspect of NFTs that might affect the treatment of an NFT as a section 408(m) collectible. In particular, the Treasury Department and the IRS request comments on the following:
- Does this notice provide an accurate definition of an NFT or are there other definitions of NFTs that should be used in future guidance?
- With respect to the look-through analysis—
- Are there instances in which there are concerns with applying the analysis and in which an alternate analysis may be more appropriate?
- What burdens does the analysis impose?
- How might the analysis be applied to an NFT with more than one associated right or asset (for example, if one of the associated rights or assets of an NFT is a section 408(m) collectible but another one is not a section 408(m) collectible)?
- How might the potential for the owner of an NFT to receive additional rights or assets (such as additional NFTs) due to ownership of the NFT (even in the absence of a specific contractual right under the NFT) be treated?
- Are there other factors to consider when determining whether an NFT is a section 408(m) collectible? For example -
- What factors might be considered to determine whether a digital file constitutes a “work of art” under section 408(m)(2)(A)?
- What factors might be used to determine whether an asset is “tangible personal property” under section 408(m)(2)(F), particularly in the context of digital files?
- What factors might be relevant if the NFT’s associated right is less than full ownership of an asset (for example, if the associated right is simply personal use of a digital file)? 4.
- Does the application of section 408(m) to an individually directed account under a qualified plan raise any issues other than those raised for individual retirement accounts?
- What other guidance relating to NFTs would be helpful?
Comments should be submitted in writing on or before June 19, 2023, and should include a reference to Notice 2023-27. Comments may be submitted electronically via the Federal eRulemaking Portal at
www.regulations.gov (type “Notice 2023-27” in the search field on the Regulations.gov home page to find this notice and submit comments).
Alternatively, comments may be submitted by mail to: Internal Revenue Service Attn: CC:PA:LPD:PR (Notice 2023-27), Room 5203 P.O. Box 7604 Ben Franklin Station Washington, D.C. 20044. The Treasury Department and the IRS will publish for public availability any comment submitted electronically or on paper to its public docket.
------------------------
TD;DR: This is the public feedback period that will determine how NFTs are taxed, and guidance as to how they're currently leaning. If you have something to say, SAY IT TO THEM NOW. Posting on the internet and sitting on your hands doesn't influence tax policy. Submitting feedback to the IRS during their feedback period does. submitted by

2023.03.21 17:26 luuuzeta [AskJS] What type of object is this?
I'm calling the method getUserInfo (
implementation) in the
DocuSign SDK and it returns an object-like structure that that looks as follows when I console.log it :
exports { sub: '...', email: '...', accounts: [ exports { accountId: '...', isDefault: 'true', accountName: '...', baseUri: '...' } ], name: '..., givenName: '...', familyName: '...', created: '...' }
What's the exports keyword doing here?
