I had to make this vector pic involving I.R. from Corrector Yui, so I did. This is the first Holiday picture not to be made with any art program, but with Scratch mods like Penguinmod. I have a Penguinmod account if you want to visit: https://penguinmod.com/profile?user=maebug1990
Happy Valentine’s Day, guys!
This vector art was a made with modifications of Scratch.

“Look down…?”

IR ou IS : choisir le régime fiscal de votre entreprise
Le choix entre l’IR et l’IS détermine la façon dont les bénéfices de l’entreprise sont imposés et influence directement la trésorerie, la rémunération des dirigeants et la stratégie de développement. À l’IR, les bénéfices sont taxés au nom des associés selon le barème progressif, qu’ils soient ou non distribués, ce qui convient surtout aux structures simples avec des revenus modestes. À l’IS, l’entreprise est imposée sur ses bénéfices à un taux fixe, ce qui permet de réinvestir plus facilement et de piloter la rémunération et les dividendes, mais implique une comptabilité plus lourde. Le régime le plus adapté dépend de la forme juridique, du niveau de bénéfices, des objectifs de croissance et de la situation personnelle des dirigeants, avec la possibilité, sous conditions, de changer de régime en cours de vie de l’entreprise.

Weeping Clown: The Encroached (IR) (3rd Essence Edition)

“Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney, possibly the world leader with the greatest insight and problem-solving resume, has put the point well in a speech just now. As he observes, the degradation of international institutions means that other powers will have to work around the wreckage, collaborating in a way that reduces their reliance on the United States while ensuring that the minnows can join against the sharks. What he doesn’t say is that this world will be poorer than it would have been if they didn’t have to do that—defense is an expense, not a benefit—but he is right that it is necessary.
And it is necessary, despite the costs. Trump is chucking away the residual goodwill and confidence in the system that other powers had been willing to extend to it. They had done so for too long, out of some combination of hope and uncertainty, and like all self-interested players they have abandoned their previous course not out of altruism but self-regard.
The unipolar world, what was left of it, has died—of suicide, not murder.”

Is Starlink helping Iranians break internet blackout, and how does it work?
‘Kill Switch’—Iran Shuts Down Musk’s Starlink For First Time
“In 2019, there was a real blackout. In 2022, there were some areas, for some hours, and it was moving. But it has never been the whole country the way it is now and for so many days. It has never been that extensive,” [Mahmood] Amiry-Moghaddam, [director of Iran Human Rights, a human rights group with members inside and outside Iran] said.“ - AJ
“In previous incidents, none of the internet shutdowns were as severe as this one,” Amir Rashidi, director of internet security and digital rights at the nonprofit Miaan Group, told Al Jazeera. “We never saw Iran trying to jam Starlink. That was not the case at all. Now they’re doing it.” - AJ

of course these ghouls are spinning this in order to push for regime change, but i wanted to share these to note that on the contrary, you should be extremely skeptical of any and all news about Iran right now, precisely because of the breadth and duration of the blackout. take everything with a grain of salt until further notice. ultimately, it wouldn’t matter anyway, they’d all fall in line behind US foreign policy objectives anyway, but im highlighting this to point out how absurd it is that anyone is even opening their mouth to speak. once again, we are in the dark, we need to focus on resisting intervention
