My health insurance costs 842€ a month. I pay half of it, the other half my employer. So I am quite impressed with the $20 from the estimation.
But why do two jobs? Won’t people do a better job concentrating on one thing and getting $2000 for that, instead of gaining experience in two different areas at the same time?
Just show up and show them the booking confirmation!
Becoming a solution architect in my field of work and thus earning more money.
Hope I could inspire you!
I could imagine this becoming in reality. Maybe in 2 or 3 world wars and 100 more genocides there might be a society emerging like this.
It is obvious that this society is superior. It is also obvious that it is impossible to achieve for any culture that is living today.
We are already optimising and automating a shit ton! And we could already rest more than 100 years ago. Instead we just consume more.
I have like four different pairs of trousers, a 75 inch flat screen tv, a laptop, a tablet, a phone, a smart watch, and I eat meat like three times a week ( which is even low compared to my kin ). Stuff breaks all the time and a buy new ones.
My 80 year old uncle told me they did usually not eat meat when he was a child. They had two eggs per week, which were used for baking. And they were not poor. A normal household.
If we would consume as much as 100 years ago, I bet we could send half the work force into life long vacation!
My other bet is that our wealth will rise the more we automate, but we will still be working the same amount to afford our future wealth.
Do you have children?
Do you have experience with introducing them the gore and excessive violence? I think I need advice from seniors😅
Did you ever have 2000€ in your bank account and 0.63€ in your wallet? And then it was summer and you were thirsty, so you bought something with your card instead of riding the tram to the next ATM to get a 50€ bill and ride the tram back to the kiosk, where they did not have the right exchange for the 50€ bill, which was then the reason to visit the stores around to exchange money, what they did but they looked at you very suspiciously, because that’s a common theme for a scam, and then you could finally buy your drink, but the whole ordeal cost you 45 minutes?
That’s just one example.
Thanks for the TL;DR.
What difference does the form of currency make when people still use some rewards program to have their shopping tracked, or with all the NFC chips on products, that track you through the whole store?
I believe the form of payment is the minor issue here.
Yep! I agree. And I believe the whole discussion is unnecessary in most cases.
There are some instances where it is important.
Do you cut the red or the blue wire when defusing a bomb (a clear definition is mandatory!)
Who can participate in the women’s sport competition and who in the men’s (this conversation should be done by the people who are actually doing the sport, not by me!)
Should I as a boss apply a gender pay gap to you or not?
If it changes by culture, then each culture will have their own definition. So if we ask a Texan Redneck and a Swedish Librarian, we will get two very different answers. But they both might be right in their culture.
Culture does not have borders. You and your neighbour have different cultures. So I believe this is nothing you can argue about, unless you specify a definition first. It does not have to be a global definition, it does not have to apply to all people, it doesn’t even have to make sense.
The definition will make it possible to discuss the topic. When the definition is precise, it will be a very short discussion. The interesting part is coming up with that definition and figuring out what aspects you want to include and what you deem not relevant.
I don’t know any person like this so this is just my imagination guessing:
Could be that you were born with male phenotype and raised that way. But you discovered that your feelings are really more aligned with the feminine realm.
But since you look male you don’t want to appear strange for others, so you keep the way you have been looking all your life, how you are used to dress and behave, and just identify as female. Might make you feel better and more aligned with your inner self.
In LotR it was in reverse. Does that count?
