#3200

The key difference between 3101 Retained Profit & Undistributed Reserves and 3200 Profit and Loss (P&L) lies in their function within financial statements:

3200 Profit and Loss (P&L): This is a temporary account used for summarizing a company's income and expenses over a specific accounting period (usually a month, quarter, or year). It's part of the income statement, showing the net profit or loss for that period. At the end of the period, the P&L account is closed by transferring the net profit/loss to the retained profit account.

3101 Retained Profit & Undistributed Reserves: This is a permanent equity account on the balance sheet. It reflects the cumulative profits of the company that have not been distributed as dividends to shareholders. It essentially shows how much profit the company has retained over its lifetime after accounting for any dividends paid out.

Here's an analogy: Think of the P&L account as a company's monthly income and expenses report. It tells you how much they made and spent in that particular month. The retained profit account, on the other hand, is like a savings account that accumulates the company's net profits over time, minus any dividends withdrawn.

In short:

P&L: Temporary account for current period's performance (income statement).

According to the spectagoggles, there are currently 13 Daves scattered around the incipisphere, including Davesprite. That is an absolutely preposterous amount of Daves.

Interesting that you're picking up two Dream Daves. I'd assumed that all his time-travelling duties would be handled by his realself - especially since Dream Dave is missing his sylladex, and therefore his time machines.

You're also picking up Davesprite, which would have convinced me he was still alive if you weren't also picking up Doomed Dave's corpse.

At least there's only one Dave corpse in play. Small mercies.

Hang on… The Davecount suddenly dropped from 13 to 12. Maybe one of them time traveled away? You hope it doesn't mean what you think it…

Wait, he only died now? I thought he was already dead in the previous image.

Ah, I see what happened - I mistook the section of Quest Bed that Doomed Dave was sleeping on for a pool of blood. He was alive before, which means the spectagoggles don't detect the dead.

But they did detect Davesprite.

You hear that? That's the sound of hope filling my heart.

GG: dave i just saw you, and you were dead! […] TG: […] dont worry it was just a doomed dave no big deal really […] GG: what about your… […] GG: oh no i dont even know if you know about this […] TG: my bro TG: yeah jack killed him too […] GG: is it something you would like to talk about TG: not much to talk about TG: this is some pretty serious existence threatening shit going down and some people are going to die i guess

Dave's reaction is cold, but completely understandable. Bro was by far the least parental of any of the Guardians, treating Dave more like an apprentice to be violently trained than a child to be raised.

He probably doesn't know what he feels about his brother's death - and even if he did, he'd hide it behind his shades, as usual.

GG: you were pretty close with him right? TG: meh it was a pretty bizarre relationship by any standard TG: fightin off wave after wave of face pumicing puppet ass every day TG: always being on guard for stealth attacks in the middle of the night while getting up to go to the fucking bathroom
