The issue afaik is that Jeff bezos’s $200B is in assets like stocks, and the buy borrow die strategy of getting loans using assets as collateral lets rich people spend money without actually cashing in said assets which would trigger capital gains taxes. Idk how to stop this prevalent strategy but between that and the corporate tax system ignoring money that goes back into the company letting corporations invest their profits to ignore taxes that’s why so few taxes are collected on those groups. Feel free to correct anything inaccurate.

21·2 months agoThere are plenty of other models out there that prevent you from creating sexually explicit content, idk of any guns that are made not to shoot people. To be clear I also think grok should be regulated.
Powertoys and that debloating scripts does wonders to make w11 usable.
I remember hearing that putting googly eyes on things made people much less likely to steal them. Maybe a similar principle

Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•The traffic revolution that’s making cities cleaner — and happierEnglish
161·4 months agoI live in one of the more bikeable cities in the US and pedestrians are more of a danger to cyclists than the other way around usually as pedestrians will loiter in bike lanes for some reason. The big bike offenders are kids on ebikes and the city’s rental bikes which both attract people who couldn’t care less about safety, otherwise anyone on their own bike tends to follow the rules or go slow enough to be able to stop.

287·5 months agoidk man single issue voters that didn’t vote Kamala because of her stance on Israel were crying long before trump voters. You can’t even argue stupidity there.
Branded painkillers add some stuff to make them more tolerable afaik, branded OTC painkillers are cheap enough that I don’t mind paying extra tho. Doubt anyone knows the generic names because of that.

A Boring Dystopia@lemmy.world•Gen Z job crisis: Maybe there are just too many college graduates now
5·5 months agoIdk about an MBA but yeah it’s usually about running your own business and hiring young people, training them, rinse and repeat. Pass down the business to your successor, they do the same.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How does one join a terror group? Like example ISIS , do people go to a secret website sign up and get provided flags, bomb parts, or whatever? Or is it just a person saying what they did was for ISIS
3·7 months agoThe website/app is probably secondary to being vetted by in-person operatives already receiving money if I had to guess.

5·8 months agoThis isn’t news, it’s an ad, as stated by their disclaimer at the end that it’s a fake story.
In that case they wouldn’t be complaining, most of the international students are in grad school aka some of the cheapest labor available lol.
They had permission to use an AI trained on James Earl Jones’s Darth Vader voice granted by his estate, SAG is pissed they used it instead of hiring someone to imitate it.

Trump Watch@lemm.ee•Trump administration says Harvard will receive no new grants until it meets White House demands
9·10 months agoThey’re showing spine by freezing hiring, cancelling salary increases, and slashing budgets. Oh and forming committees, they love doing that. That money isn’t being touched until they lose all of their researchers and international students. I was hopeful as well but all communication so far points to whoever runs the endowment not seeing past the yearly returns and their resulting bonuses.

Trackball users community@discuss.tchncs.de•Integrated trackball, yay or nay?English
2·11 months agoI love my charybdis, unfortunately I spilled a drink on one half so I have to source parts to replace it. Otherwise not having to take my hands off the keyboard for short mouse movements is really nice, and being split I can move one half over when I want to game with a mouse.




Russians that surrender don’t have to serve in the war though, depending on how they surrender they can either wait for exchange, emigration, or even be granted amnesty and stay in the country. I’m proud of anyone who chooses to help my homeland regardless of circumstance.
