Does invidious work for Tiktok? Does it take away from the corporation without also taking away from the creators I like?

Sharing a Tiktok link doesn't require someone to make an account.

While I generally like privacy focused proxies and FOSS services, this kind of reaction to sharing a link on a link aggregator seems prime neckbeards attitude. People don't have to click the link of they don't want to, simple as.

I'd like to draw a distinction between nerds and neckbeards. Nerds are generally understanding about a lack of options.

Instructions unclear, I got my dick caught in the number 8.

The problem is loopholes, but I'm not a tax lawyer, which is why I provi such a vague answer.

I think that ostentatious wealth is a sign you're not doing your share to help the society that supports you, so the disgustingly rich shouldn't exist. But I'm not opposed to a little inequality as reward for doing important work or going above and beyond, but what we have now is crazy.

I wouldn't really say that California's tax is especially progressive compared to taxes in the past, like the golden age of the USA. But even then, lobbyists have opened so many loopholes that it doesn't even really matter what the tax rate is

I don't know because I think if people got paid fair wages the world would look very different, and the cost of living calculations we currently use to determine fair wages would change in ways I can't predict.

I think that with aggressive progressive taxes, we'd see the range of incomes get compressed, and lift lower incomes. I'm not entirely sure how that'd affect cost of living, it'd probably go up, but wages would go up more.

But if I had to guess, if say everyone should be making between $100k and $300k, and I should probably be somewhere in the middle of that.

I take it back.
Your part of the discussion was to actively suppress discussion, so your reasoning that it was "just part of the discussion" is bullshit. Do better.

Any necessity of life.
Any inelastic commodity.

Edit:
Upon rereading, I totally missed the spirit in which the question was asked. Whoops lol

House fire.

(That's a lie, I'm not and I live in an apartment, but I plan on prepping for it)

That's bad potential. Replacing workers is bad. It's not good for society or the real economy. So again, why frame it positively?

Why bother tell people who are complaining that what they're complaining about is inevitable?
I guess you can complain about the inevitable complaining about an inevitable bad thing. But that's a weird thing to do, without an ulterior motive.
