Clickbaited by a Lemmy post title… How far have I fallen…

Good for you, tho!

That’s not «the benefits of labour» being passed on to your children, is it? That’s what you own being passed on to your children… And it’s taxed! Maybe it would be a good idea to have taxes on inherited IP, though. Then again, if the taxes are at or above 50% then wouldn’t that mean that the state would inherit control over the IP, hence making it public domain? Meh. That would be an estate tax rather than an inheritance tax, technically, I think. How would you pay taxes on inheriting an IP?

Because the benefits of labour don’t pass on to your children, period?

Maybe there’s something out there I’m unaware of, but I don’t understand the implication in your question.

lmfao what’s that?!

That’s a really tough question…

Is it even worth it? I really hate my job but need the money.

Need the money? If you need it, then that basically settles it. You can’t leave your current job if you need the money.

However, the question is moreso if you actually need it. Have you considered downsizing your apartment/wherever you live? Have you considered cutting costs here or there (subscriptions, for example)?

One thing’s for sure: your mental health is invaluable. You can’t afford to have a mental breakdown, and you don’t deserve to live a miserable life.

See if you can restructure your finances to fit the 81k salary, because a low-stress job like that is surely much better than the hellscape you seem to be navigating currently.

One thing to add: don’t stop looking for other opportunities. Maybe this one isn’t ideal because you may need to cut costs, but there could be something even better out there! Don’t stop looking for the perfect opportunity for you.

Just my opinion, of course.

Thanks!

Oh, I think I’ve heard of Tesseract before… The reason I ended up going with Alexandrite was because Tesseract looked a little over-featured and very busy; not really what I was looking for, but it looks great!

A shame about those issues with developments. Sometimes that’s just what happens with Open Source, especially for niche stuff developed by a single individual. Do you know why the dev swore off the Fediverse? I’m very interested in why someone would decide that. I did go thru their post history and got an idea as to a possibility, but I wonder if they made a post about it or something that I might’ve missed.

Yeah, it’s what I use as well. It’s just the best way to use Lemmy, frankly.

IDK of any, but have you considered alternative web frontends like Alexandrite or Phtn?

I support your endeavours!

Some people were taught that being an asshole is good; hence, being nice is bad.

My dad helped me shave my face, it’s really not very different. It’s just personal grooming.

Yeah, sure… My understanding of philo-semitism really isn’t that it implies blind support for genocidal efforts, though.

That being said, I was really just commenting on the word itself, not the news article.

I’d assume the term would be semitiphilism.

Looking it up, Judeophilia would be a word for philo-semitism as well.

Hasbro had to base their designs on something, I guess…

Convenient for me, that is.

If you say so… It guess there’s a lot of unempathetic people around.

Do I?

You would notice that I wrote, as a condition of the hypothetical, that you agree with the banning. Hence, it is perfectly irrelevant if you think it’s crazy, in actuality. It’s a hypothetical. You know? A hypothetical - a make-believe situation, if you will - to illustrate the question. It’s when you imagine something that isn’t real in hopes that, that way, you could maybe distance yourself from other factors that could cloud your judgement if you were tackling a real problem.

It does seem, based on yours and others’ replies, that this particular hypothetical wasn’t very effective. For that, I apologize.

I will, however, point out that it is indeed normal to be upset at other people when they wear intense and obtrusive perfumes, or if they smell intensely of something. If you smell terrible - including strong or disagreeable perfumes - you won’t be allowed into many establishments, may be kicked out of public transport, etc. So no, it’s not utter insanity, it’s actually perfectly normal.

Then again, nobody was arguing about that! So, I guess that’s that.

Right, OK, I get what you mean.

Well, other than this:

but leashed dogs that are aggressive are worse than a well behaved but unleashed dog so I let the unleashed and behaved ones slide.

Why?

Getting shot in the head is worse than getting stabbed in the calf, but I still think you shouldn’t stab me in the calf! Obviously that’s a very extreme example, but these rules exist for a reason.

The dog may seem well-behaved for now, but what if it gets bothered by something random, as dogs do? The whole point of the rule is to prevent aggressive dogs from bothering people, because owners seem to always think their dogs wouldn’t hurt a fly. If you only complain about a dog being unleashed after a dog misbehaves, then aren’t you just asking for an issue to happen, instead of preventing it by enforcing the rule?

You get what I mean?

Then again, it does bother me when people don’t use crosswalks or cut in line lol
