This sounds about right. I'm not informed enough to comment on the virus or quality/efficacy/safety of any of the vaccines, but I am vaccinated, and have friends and family in both camps. All I know is that this is not a naiv

> Social credit is offensive and freedom-limiting by definition. Yes, I agree. I was defending this exact point. The commenter I replied to originally seemed upset about the original comment condemning vax passports. I guess I didn'

This is one of those "damned if you, and damned if you don't" type situations. I'm sure all they really want is to maintain their margins, which makes turning the other cheek to potential human rights abuses that much mo

How so? Even if the intent of such programs might be positive, is there not a risk of them being used to limit, coerce, or change user behaviour? (it wouldn't be the first time) Why is this such an offensive statement?

That's true, and good advice. I've only used index investing to get exposure to specific markets or segments where I find it difficult to do decent research, but you're right that it's a better way to park funds over a l

My portfolio is cash-heavy these days, but I don't believe a crash is coming, I'm just not comfortable being fully invested at the moment; and I hate that because the cash is losing purchasing power every quarter. I get the feelin

I'm inclined to agree with this.

You're too stressed, you need to start cooling down a couple of weeks _prior_ to starting your vacation so you can enjoy it properly.

Yes, I've noticed this in Germany also, it's great.

Yes, but I'll be the first to admit it's a lot of fun to be able to work like that... from time to time. Context is important also, a lot of young companies are still trying to figure out their optimal business model, so agility r

Personally I would simply refuse and prepare for the possibility that this company will no longer be a client... or charge more for the inconvenience and change in relationship status. I presume you freelance because of freedom to choose cl

Yes, very much so. Probably not so much in the US and most western democracies, but yes.

I agree 100%, if your money can't be used for meaningful things (housing, savings with interest, etc.), there is little point in working for it beyond the minimum effort required.

Yes, but I have a feeling that these socio-political reasons are merely "the straw that broke the camel's back", and almost never the actual motivating factor. I could be wrong, but it would take one heck of an argument to wa

In my experience, people enjoy working; the problem is working shitty jobs for asshole managers that people find repulsive. That is just as true for doctors and engineers as it is for minimum wage service workers. People are generally good

I guess it depends. A lot of people who sell crafts and bespoke items will probably rely on access to various marketplaces and payment processors; and arguably the social media platforms could be considered essential for marketing. Drivers

It is very difficult, time consuming, and stressful to run a business. More so if you have employees. Self-employment does not always provide the freedom most people imagine. I have gone back to employment myself, it's less stressful,

This is 100% correct. Chance is such a significant factor in the outcomes we observe in our lives, yet the majority of us have been fooled into believing otherwise. Sometimes you just have to do what you feel is right _for you_, and hope fo

Yes, working from home is a mixed bag, it can be great, but sometimes a change of scenery and seeing other people being productive can be a real mood booster. Good luck!

This. Some are really good and actually filter opportunities and call back only when there is genuinely a good match... they put in effort, and it's pleasant to with with these folks. The rest are parasites.

Don't feel bad, or ashamed, this is perfectly normal. I find renting a desk in a co-working space has helped me stay a little more motivated and positive over the last several months (home office gets too monotone). Just do your best a

There are already too many laws, it's unfortunate that the bureaucracy continues to grow with so little resistance.

I like PHP, it pays the bills. I also like other languages, some because they are a pleasure to use, or give me an opportunity to learn something new... but mostly because they pay the bills. I don't think there is anything wrong with
