Cool.

Your party has proven that one can avoid taxes, but I don’t think you can avoid death as well.

Does anyone know about any other self-hosted/open source projects that are like this? As in, “everyone” could find these useful?

Other ones I know about are Mealie (cookbook) and Warracker (Warranty Tracker).

Good.

Fuck my country. Never been proud of it, and how I am only ashamed of it even more.

This must be a personal hell. Growing up, I wanted to get out of my small town because I hated being surrounded by idiots. So I did.

Now… well… there is no escape apparently.

Our modern day concept of ownership.

Yeah no shit. Then the new ones literally have less features than the old one. Like connecting SharePoint calendars

I wish I could time travel 200 years just to read how they talk about us.

I don’t even know how to talk about us.

It really just depends on your climate, geography, and infrastructure.

Where is I was raised, it would be consistently 90-100 Fahrenheit throughout the summer. And one week that was always up to 110.

I had no ac, but a constant broken swamp cooler. So basically no real ac.

In the mornings and night when it did become cool, you would open all the windows and doors for the air and wind to blow through, and then about 9am you would close the windows and blinds and deal with the heat.

Sleeping through the worst parts of the heat is not a bad idea.

That people’s ‘default’ morality is ‘good’.

It isn’t. It is actually pure apathy and only do we get taught, groomed, learn, decide, etc. about morality.

If that is true, then some people are actually ‘better’ and ‘worse’ than others. If so, then my entire outlook on human life will need to change. Don’t know to what, but that is the existential threat.

Recently had to come to the conclusion, that even though I have never ‘tried’ to learn, observe, or otherwise be smart, that I am well above average intelligence to those immediately around me. This is beyond infuriating. How can I be ‘better’ than everyone on average without even trying? It infuriates me to no end.

Interesting ideas.

My idea of Heaven: no place, but reincarnation. That way all the ‘good’ people will be inhabiting the earth. They have the opportunity to be evil in that life, and then they would go to hell. If they keep continuing to be good, they keep getting reincarnated.

My idea of Hell: Nothing. Just pure death.

What would the criteria of going to heaven or hell? No idea.

Constant reposts and lack of any critical thinking or engagement. It is insane to think that every post I have put on here so far, I am new, has had more interaction that the gigantic ‘active’ user base of Reddit.

The truth is fine, no reason to exaggerate or fib. Last job was temporary and now looking for another opportunity.

Step 1: put in touchscreens Step 2: touchscreens good because = smart Step 3: … Step 4: Profit?

Who knew you could just gaslight our AI overlords?

This is Not the Onion territory.

If only we had regulations…

Sounds like Elon is eliminating competition to his propaganda machine.

Second Geowizard. Chill British dude.

Getting married in June!

Mgs delta coming out!

Every year is another opportunity to improve

It is hard making friends, and there is no straight answer since all of our lives are very different. That’s honestly the main reason why its hard to make friends.

I would join a sports league, book clubs, etc. Something where everyone who goes, has the intention to return.

Also, in your post example it sounds like you went out once with these people. As soon as your done hanging out with people, I would shoot a message saying that you should do it again. Be the reason people come together, because no one wants that job because its tough.

Thanks for reading through my post and with thoughtful followups.

1. I would say this would actually be up to the ‘owners’. I don’t want to restrict too much freedom of ownership, there is indeed a lot of risk when you are starting a business. So the owners would be able to select through a variety of business models. One model could be very similar with the stock market. So people’s ownership would go up and down with it, the dividends they receive would fluctuate depending on how well the biz is doing, etc. I have no specific plans on this, those details would need to be fleshed out at a later time. Right now I just want to make excuses and reasons to adopt this economic mindset. Because at the end of the day, as current events has shown, it really doesn’t matter how stupid/impractical ideas are, we can get them done if we really want to.

2. Yeah, I can’t imagine anyone disagreeing in good faith.

3. Yes, bank loans. You bring up a good point, another solution might be necessary. But I do want to solve the problem of already established business owners can EASILY receive a loan for a new business. I see this as a huge issue because this just means overtime, like what is happening right now, it will always be hard for entrepreneurs with no experience honestly just need to be lucky. There is only so much money that can go around, so of course banks will give it to those already established. This is not a bad thing in the short term, but I do see it as a problem in the long term. Just makes wealth inequality inevitable.

4. While distributions are not subject to payroll taxes, they are still subject to income tax at the individual level. The key difference is that distributions can be more tax-efficient than taking a salary, as they avoid payroll taxes. However, if an owner takes too little in salary and too much in distributions, they may attract IRS audit. We are starting to get into territory where only CPAs are really qualified/knowledgeable to talk about. I have been out of the industry for 2 years now so I am not confident my information is up to date anymore to provide additional detail.
