I’m not claiming, that it’s a well thought out system. It’s just what I do.

Closing windows is a thing I try to avoid, but if it happens, there’s always my browser history that allows me to resurrect a few of them. (This is all happening in firefox btw. though I use different browsers on special occasions, for example if a website doesn’t support the gecko engine very well)

I avoid closing windows because it still makes me nervous because this used to mean they were hard to recover and that fear is deeply ingrained in the back of my mind.

Using several windows is a way to keep tabs separated, because I lose track when I have to scroll through them. I could use tab groups for that, but meh… It also allows me to have them on different screens for stuff where I need to look up several things simultaneously.

sometimes I’m a bit overwhelmed by the number of windows though. But I’m too deep into it to change my habits. Wouldn’t recommend it though.

All I’m saying is, that my PC doesn’t mind at all.

Yeah, no flak. I’m not allowed to judge, considering my own browsing habits. Whatever works for you is fine.

Do you share it anywhere?

Ever heard about bookmarks?

Leaving all that open is just making your computer sad.

No it doesnt. Take it from someone who has a dozen of browser windows open at all times with at least the same amount of tabs in each of those. I figured out how to close Firefox so it restarts with all previous windows again.
But it will only load those tabs once I click on them and even has a feature to unload tabs again. My personal shitty method has the downside, that each window will have an active tab that will be loaded at startup, but I work around that by always having an empty tab in each window to take that place.

Doesn’t use noticeably more RAM or CPU that way, than a typical browsing session.

Sophie von der Tann müsste also Korrespondentin in all solchen Staaten zeitgleich sein, damit der Vorwurf nicht zieht. Ich hab jetzt spontan nicht parat, wieviele es davon gibt, aber das klingt sportlich.

Charging millionaires and billionaires with inheritance tax is better as there will be a continuous cycle of wealth redistribution and thus they won’t be able abuse their powers. But wealth tax is more efficient that way as it would prevent someone becoming obscenely wealthy in the first place.

And that is the point of inheritance tax. There might be other means to achieve that same goal, but I suspect inheritance tax is politically more realistic. In our western societies theres a deeply ingrained narrative of ‘rags to riches’ and how the rich earned their money because they contribute so much to society and worked hard for it, coupled with the wishful thinking of ‘it might be me some day’. I don’t have to preach, how flawed those ideas are, but it is much easier within that ideology to argue for an inheritance tax, where it is obvious that the heir didn’t have to do anything to really deserve it.

Wealth tax needs a bit more of a marxist understanding of economic mechanisms.

You don’t pay VAT/GST on the money, you pay it on the product’s price

And how do you pay that price? With money. This is pure sophism.

And, duh, you can avoid paying taxes if you cheat… that’s not exclusive to VAT.

And you are further elaborating my point. You will be taxed on different occasions even when the money or asset doesn’t even change ownership. That’s my whole point. The argument that you already paid taxes on some money isn’t really a solid point against inheritance tax, it’s a common occurence in many areas of life. Yet it always comes up when inheritance tax is discussed.

Just like your example with the inheritance of a small home that will ruin the recipient. The example is always constructed in bad faith with a lousy tax policy in the first place. No one is trying to ruin the average joe who happens to inherit grampas house. A better design, and the one all supporters of inheritance tax I know argue for, is one with a reasonably high allowance, to avoid these scenarios, and even if you cross the allowance threshhold by a little bit, you only have to pay the fictious 20% on the amount exceeding the allowance. So say we have an (unreasonably low, but just for the sake of the example) allowance of 400K, now you inherit that 500K property you’ll have to pay (500K-400K)x0.2=20K.

If you wanted to protect small inheritances even more, you could design a progressive tax, too.

This, with a much more reasonable allowance sounds a bit like your so called ‘better solution’.

This bullshit-argument again.

Guess what, money will circle around the economy and it will be taxed on different occasions and often several times during its lifespan (whatever that means for todays mostly digital money anyways). Especially when things (or money) change owners, tax is to be expected.

When you got paid, you paid income tax, and when you buy stuff with it - oh my gosh! - taxes again!! (In the form of VAT) Outrageous!

This is such a common thing, that it simply baffles me how anyone could think that “that money has been taxed already” is a sound argument.

Ah, yes, the internet. Now we’re having an argument about cabbage. But, alright, I’ll bite. Just for the fun of it.

You are revealing yourself with that comment. You don’t seem to be a real cabbage-enjoyer, if you simply describe it’s flavor as watery and nothing particular and simply tolerate it for its texture. Or maybe you should find a different source of cabbage.

I refuse to subscribe to your narrow minded views.

I’m still struggling to find a doctor who still takes new patients and can handle my first prescription.

Otherwise the diagnosis hasn’t really changed much for me, other than, that I have a bit of an explanation, why I’m struggling with certain things, that goes beyond sheer incompetence. But that hasn’t really had an impact on my feeling of self-worth yet. It’s only been two months though.

Apparently they taste much better if you let pigs eat them first and then eat the pigs instead.

Just got my diagnosis in my mid -30s.

What did you do after you got yours and how has it changed your life?

There are more varieties though. Cabbage soup comes to mind, for example, and some stuff that I don’t know an English word for.
Some of that can taste great as well, but if you don’t care for the taste of cooked cabbage, it’s probably not for you.

Sauerkraut is nice though. But that’s adding extra steps and I wouldn’t still call it cabbage when the cooking starts.

Versteh ich. Ich gehöre wohl auch zu der Demografie und seh es schon auch so, dass man das nicht selber vorantreiben muss.

Politik voranzubringen, die direkten Einfluss auf die Bürgerrechte, Freiheiten, Lebensgestaltung und ökonomischen Verhältnisse der Menschen hat halte ich für viel bedeutender als sich z.B. über den Sprachgebrauch zu streiten.

Aber den Faschos und Reaktionären Kontra geben, wenn sie das versuchen, das muss natürlich trotzdem sein. Und ich seh auch ein, dass es schon ein bisschen Spaß macht, wenn man sie mit ein bisschen Gendern so schön triggern kann.

On Linux I have found my audio player of choice (Sayonara Player), I’m specifically asking for Winamp because I have nostalgia for it; and because I don’t know any player that has its extensive visualization features.

Brauch ich ein /r für rhetorische Fragen?

Mir ist schon klar, warum Reaktionäre das machen. Aber die Frage war ja auch so gemeint, dass es keinen anderen Grund gibt außer diesen Kulturkampf. Und dass man sich dagegen wehren muss halte ich für klar. Man kann die nicht einfach machen lassen.

Lokale Nahwärmenetzesind da eine gute Idee. Diese Speicher profitieren wie gesagt enorm von Skalierungseffekten.

Wirklich gut wird das erst für ganze Wohngebiete oder Dörfer, jedenfalls deutlich ökonomischer als sowas privat für ein paar wenige Häuser stemmen zu wollen.

So the conclusion would be:

This world is awful! Let’s fix it, so it can be as awful as it used to be.
