I run a tuxedo both at home and for work. Build quality and support isn’t that great but you can’t get more specs for the money

Dang, your life sounds like a Noir narrator

The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good boy with a gun

I work in a similar field and, even though we also use AI for real benefit internally, customers seem to have (a lot of) special budget earmarked for ”ai tools” so if we can offer them something that’s vaguely AI then we can charge more

My take has always been (regardless of living in Europe or anywhere else) that these type of issues is exactly why we have states and municipalities at all. I.e to help each other solve basic life more efficiently. Of course there’s different takes on best strategies for this but I have a hard time seeing how Mamdanis policies around infrastructure and housing are extreme in any way

Nån som vet varför de vill göra den här förändringen? Det är liksom ett av de få bra sätten att ta sig ner på kontinenten

Basically the same in Sweden. I think the reason %-turnout is a bit higher here is because of some very beneficial tax structures on existing wealth for private individuals. Capital gains is normally taxed at 30% of the earnings but you can opt to place (parts of) your portfolio in special accounts (”Investeringssparkonto” and ”Kapitalförsäkring” for example) where the tax is below 1% of that entire account’s value. Makes it possible to get much more out of certain investments.

One argument might then be that if you have enough capital to invest from the beginning, you’ll be at an advantage compared to those that don’t. And wealth gaps might become larger as a result

Probably not what you want to hear, it really sucks to be in that spot, but it is possible to find good ones! I went through 3 therapists over the course of a couple of years before finding one that helped me.
