Org-mode is like the SAP of personal knowledge management tools.

I mean I guess you're joking, but nevertheless I think it's a bad thing to hope that every fifth person gets born into a body their mind doesn't agree with.

This is so absolutely adorable.

I live in country that has plateaued financially for the last 2 decades.

You'll be fine. Really. In opposite to what you might have heard, free market capitalism in no way requires constant growth. It can adapt to plateaus or degrowth just fine.

This is a bad punishment, because it implies that you as a parent made the mistake of giving your child a personal computer.

I once was in a lunch group where one of the people honestly asked the restaurant staff about wifi, standing almost next to this sign. The guy smugly pointed at the sign and said nothing.

It was cringy for everyone involved.

Where are these phantom lefties that think of Jewish = Zionist. Stop making shit up.

You might be having in-group bias if you cannot see this happening.

I have never, ever heard of someone calling for the deportation of Israelis.

Calling for their in-place deaths is not a lot better. You have heard that one several times, right?

There probably should be an international wealth tax that's completely unavoidable. Perhaps. Economists seem to disagree on this, but to me it would feel like a correct thing to do.

But saying that Bezos's "real tax rate" is 1% is just manipulative lying.
