"Bubbles are good because they leave pieces for others to pick up for free" has to be one of the most completely insane and morally bankrupt economic ideas I've ever heard. This only makes sense if you take a fully individualist, zero-sum perspective and entirely disregard all other perspectives. Nevermind the opportunity cost.
As far as I'm concerned there is no daylight between this idea and someone fighting safety measures because "trainwrecks leave free parts behind for me to pick up and build my own trains out of".
I have no moral qualms with investors losing money if it means the rest of society benefits. Sam spending billions of other people's money so that chinese researchers can make chatgpt clones for cheap is a net benefit for society.
Just follow the instructions? From your linked PDF:
> The time needed to complete and file this form will vary depending on individual circumstances. The estimated average time is: Recordkeeping, 12 hr., 40 min.; Learning about the law or the form, 4 hr., 17 min.; Preparing and sending the form, 8 hr., 16 min.
> [The] implied claim that the IRS dumps a bunch of jargon on you and leaves you to rely on general-purpose search engines to figure out what the fuck they're talking about.
Feel free to imagine that I was addressing something else. It's a free country and all.
You also might want to look at the estimated average time for a non-business taxpayer to complete a 1040. If the 1040 estimate methodology is typical, then those estimates are pretty pessimistic.
Looks like the PDF is just to show what the messaging interface looks like, and what they've found as a publicly available screenshot is from the crash report involving that plane.
If they logged in, took a screenshot, and published that (even if lots of things are blurred), there's probably more attack surface for some three-letter-agency to bust down their doors and disappear them...
Respectfully, proper technique is just a matter of searching and reading for 2-3 minutes followed by a bit of practice and repetition to get fast. You can skip the getting fast part if you want. Nobody needs "training" to become proficient with a kitchen knife.
She doesn't care. It's not possible to force someone to be a gear nerd.
She cooks, she enjoys it, she does it with a medium sharp knife that doesn't slip because that's not a real thing, and isn't scaring her because it's just medium sharp.
>Might only be available in Europe & Africa though.
Yep. We just need to move Manhattan there. Problem solved.
It's crazy how some people think there's no solution when the solution is "clear as an unmuddied lake...As clear as an azure sky of deepest summer."[0]
The article constructs a straw man of liberalism and then goes completely off the rails from there.
> Not suffering for its own sake, or trauma, but the kind of tension that arises from limits, from saying no, from sustaining hard-won compromises. In a reductionist frame, every source of pain looks like a bug to fix, any imposed limit is oppression, and any disappointment is something to try to avoid. But from a holistic view, pain often marks the edge of a meaningful boundary. The child who’s told they can’t stay out late may feel hurt. But the boundary says: someone cares enough to enforce limits. Someone thinks you are part of a system worth preserving. To be unfairly simplistic, values can’t be preserved without allowing this pain, because limits are painful.
Good lord how much meaningless slop can you spew onto one page.
