So non cult people can’t pass laws to ban a cult

Sure, but the compute isn’t free. Our brains are way more optimized than anything else we can build. And it’s not even accurate enough for most tasks it is being used/advertised for.

And all the data centers they are building is taking away the energy and water we allocated for human use, we don’t have infinite resources.

I don’t want to drive, give me walkable cities and public transportation

And it’s important to remember, when everyone thought slavery was all good because it’s free labor, it cost government a lot of money to remove it because they had to pay the slave owners compensation. That’s disregarding the human rights and plethora of problems.

For “I’m fiscally right” people, your money will go towards all these extravaganza when it inevitably doesn’t bring back the money expended on it.

Touch typing means a whole different thing now lol

I’d love if they had reasonable targets that being efficient made you have feee time.

When I asked my boss how do I manage 40 hours if I finish some tasks faster than others, they were like “just let me know what that happens, I need to give you more work” lol

Doesn’t curl already resume download if it can be resumed? Basically just measure the file size in disk and offset that while downloading and done. What benefit does this have?

I guess one is downloading multiple parts in parallel and then merging is possible. But that is if the server allows downloading with offset, in which case I think a simple curl script could do the same.

I mean stock market going up makes the rich richer, poor people don’t have significant stocks

Yeah, I just say I can’t watch this video when someone sends me a link. It does make you less social though. People just think you’re weird, people with “I have nothing to hide” mentality is so common. And people that say “I don’t care about politics”, or “we don’t discuss politics here” in friend groups, and start excluding you because you speak on these things.

Cheap?

Very, and even people that don’t make it about god, somehow don’t like that I am not religious.

And what about all the children with cancer that were in there getting treatment with you?

I’ll say it as much as I can. Tax business, on profit not individuals on their salary. Salary comes from a business paying you, they have accountants, they can pay taxes.

And when you tax profits, they have the incentive to reinvest in the company, either by hiring more people, or building things, or spending money on research. Instead of giving record profits to shareholders.

Of course you can have small businesses below certain employee numbers exempt or something like that to help new businesses.

This of course means you can’t hand out “government help” by just taking less taxes from people already making money, and have to install give real help to people in need irrespective of their salary.

And of course there might be some details that should be added to make it good.

This. After leaving Reddit I feel like I lost a place I could post about my little foss app and get people to try it. Specially in the niche topics.

I am trying my best to get people I know try but they don’t understand the domain, and I don’t have a reach to people that will understand

Where are my people? And how do I find them? I feel like finding just one like me to spend live with took all the luck I had. Now we’re just weird with no other friends like us

This is what I really want

I recently read it in a book. It was used for an evolved human form. That was my first time seeing it other than programming too

Some people don’t even believe in evolution, do there it is.

And besides that, some people want to believe their food don’t have feelings.

It makes sense all organisms feel some sort of pain because it’s related to self preservation, but not all of them have an ability to communicate about the pain. And even less number of them communicate pain in a way we could understand, and even less that we actually care to listen.

I mean, the next thing I’d like is to not penalize for having kids as a society so much that you need tax breaks. It should not be this expensive to have kids. Kids eat what you eat, and play with other kids in the community. And any assistance for kids from government should be given to all the kids, not just people with jobs. Current system of deductions for kids is government just taking less from people who already have money.

As for spouses, similar concept, but it’s a bit complicated. I’d like one parent income to be enough to have a family, because we need children to grow with parents. Currently both parents have to work and pay for daycare. The time spent with their own children is very limited. Of course people without kids will be in advantage if they have double income, but that’s bound to happen. And if having kids wasn’t this troublesome and expensive, maybe more people would do it.

I know right. It’s so weird here. People should just negotiate after tax salary and calculate everything after tax. But I guess everyone likes saying big numbers and then get angry government is taking a portion.

Honestly you should just have business pay tax like: x% for profits + y% (less than x) for employees’ salaries. That way they’ve incentives to pay salary over keeping profits (growing company is better long term). And employees don’t have to pay any tax themselves. And they negotiate amd work for after tax salary, no need to feel like gov is taking their money.
