  • Don’t ever give out your templates or show your process. If they can hire someone less experienced at a much cheaper rate, they eventually will.

    I think you’re usually legally obligated to. I mean, crappy boss never ask is one thing, but if they inquire how you do your job, which templates you use etc, the employer owns the templates you created during your paid work time on probably the computer which is also the employers property. You don’t have to throw every detail about how you do your job on the table yourself if no-one asks, but if they do you should or they’ld win any legal dispute and you could be fired on bad (financial) terms. Likely whatever you show and explain is still to “complicated” anyhow.





  • I don’t think ikea even sells furniture that requires such gigantic vehicles in the first place.

    That said, furniture is an excellent example of why you could just drive a normal vehicle, a bicycle or a bus to go windowshopping and later have the new furniture delivered to your doorstep by a specialised company and/or vehicle or rent a specialised vehicle for the odd occasion. The cost for society will actually be a damn lot lower.








  • the amount of equivalent USD is mostly meaningless in regular life. What matters is what you can buy in that place for how much they make. And also what you have to buy and what goes besides your paycheck (socialised healthcare in scandinavia vs higher wages in usa for example).

    For example within Europe: yes, wages are way lower in eastern EU countries than in some western EU countries, but so is the price of coffee, the rent etc. That only becomes tangible when you travel.


  • Yeah, the spirit of your comment i agree with, but not the letter.

    Nothing should be completely free, because nothing is free. Water needs processing, electricity needs a grid, sewage needs treatment, etc.

    Basic things should be affordable for all: housing, water, electricity, internet, food etc.

    But “free” creates incentives to be careless with resources. Which is counterproductive to making sure they are available for all at affordable prices.






  • Who? Who would be capable of gathering the trump support and getting enough votes? Part of the right wing powerful 1 guy thingy is this: 1 guy. Take the guy away, and you have no idea what would happen and if someone else would manage to keep the gathered power going and maybe gather even more. Would be very different if trump were president when it happened, then the power is formalised and the takeover by another supervillain easier, but during campaign that would be quite the feat and I’m really wondering who would have been capable of it.
