It’s only monopoly money if they lose the bets

Maybe this isn’t quiet quitting and is just the job now

Yeah, but they ghost everyone I recommend and hire based on some kind of nepotism. I think I just got lucky when nobody important had a friend to do the job I applied for

I’m not really getting raises for a couple years, despite being a can do high performer. So now I just use AI to do mediocre work, and only work around 3-4hrs per day.

He can’t end the war. He’d have to admit that 500,000 young Russian men are not fighting at the front lines, but are dead and not coming home. The loved ones are going to hang him when they find out.

Failing upward at an immense scale. I see this every day at work, the louder and more incompetent just keep on getting promoted. A social experiment would be to just speak whatever chatGPT vomits up loudly and confidently no matter how ignorant.

Amazing. I’m trying to fuck off at work by just dumping slop but I can’t get llms to solve any real problems so I keep ending up having to do it myself. This is with very clear guidelines and instruction. If there’s no already existing PR to point it to to essentially copy it fails

That’s about what it is in France, up maybe 10% overall at the moment. I only drive 1-2 times per week though and usually just a few kms to the big grocery store and my car is extremely efficient so I haven’t filled up in probably a month.

Sometimes I think that myself - I’m probably capable of building something like this. But then the problem is that I am not a total piece of shit so I just work a regular job and live ok while people like this buy a new yacht.

Best we can do is raise prices again and require you to have it

It’s because in the US, magically democratic areas will have extremely high security implemented by elderly republican volunteers and no amount of proof of citizenship will be enough if you don’t look like you will vote the right way

The division already exists in law, look up statutory citizenship vs constitutional citizenship

Just do like the insurance companies do. $750 for a follow up? I’ll give you tree fiddy

Hmm, 75kwh to make a gallon of gasoline at even a low estimate of 15 cents per kWh is $11.25/gallon. That’s if they meet their full efficiency targets. I’m sure there will be a few who are willing to pay but it’s pretty expensive fun.

It happened to me once. I was sitting on the back porch on a farm in Tennessee, and there were cans on the ground about 100yds away. Things would have been better if I could have put some holes in those cans

Yes, there seems to be some confusion in the french interpretation of non lucrative visa categories. The benefit of this is that some remote work may be tacitly allowed. The complexity comes really from French taxation and social charges. Nobody can really say whether you will be chased for 9% of your income, 17% of your income, or 47%.

The problem is nobody can actually give you a clear and definitive answer, so if you do things like stay past six months, get a permanent apartment, get rid of your home elsewhere, there is a risk you could be asked to pay even several years later. It makes for a complicated situation, and for this reason I think another country with a clearly specified digital nomad program and tax regime is a much safer bet.

I can get more detailed outside of a public forum.

I am speaking of highly specific regulations in France which I have direct personal experience of. If you decide to work in retail after receiving your multi year residency, the French government has no objections to this as long as you have sufficiently integrated.

The multi-year residency requires B2 proficiency as of this year, and also allows working in France. It is of course up to french authorities as to whether it is granted, taking into account your time in the country and your level of integration.

You only need savings of about 1.5x the SMIC (minimum wage) - currently 1801.80€ monthly for 12 months and you can get a year visa. If you have enough the following year, you can renew. Do that four times and you can ask for a more or less permanent multi-year residency if you speak french by that time. So as you can see, you could probably sell a house in the US for a decent profit and invest time enough to gain French residency without needing George Clooney money.

Man this is spot on for the rural Philippines too, right down to the well details And the pathetic trickle of tap water for. Few hrs a day. At least it rains more in the Philippines I guess.
