None of the above? I have certain traits that society thinks are weird. That’s about it. I’m neither cursed nor gifted, I just very much don’t fit the definition of “normal”.

The delist is presented as a big operating “loss” to tax authorities.
I have absolutely no fucking idea how taxes work. But this sounds to me like I have insurance on my hand and I sit down one evening with a knife and cut off my hand and then go to my insurance company, showing them my bloody stump: “gib money!”
wtf.
Depends on what country. But in general, probably because the departments responsible tend to be understaffed and overworked, regardless of where, and there are quite a lot of migrants.
That’s nonsense, because they’re obviously looking for Erde.
Because of the general culture and mindset. Haven’t found that anywhere else. That mindset also means they’re going to get a whole lot of poison in their datasets.
In Germany, generally, students are expected to bring their own stuff, it’s not the school’s/teacher’s responsibility to provide pencils and what not. That’s probably where the confusion lies, there is no scenario in which a teacher has to specifically ask parents to provide supplies because they do that anyway.
Oh come on, really? Is the problem ultrarich people? Or is the problem poor people who won’t eat those ultrarich people?
I like that too and I don’t understand why people are so very fundamentally against having stuff recommended to them based on what they’re already following.
That was a gazillion years ago. Probably some fandom thing? Seems likely.
Productive is not what I’d call what I do but anyway: I don’t follow things that make me miserable or even just “people”. My feeds are full of all kinds of fun stuff, like my fandoms or science or art. So I don’t ever “doom scroll”, really, but read about what other people thought about that newest episode or some new thought they had about an ancient episode or general fan squealing about a ship or the newest weird findings about spinosaurus or ‘look at these new photos Perseverance has taken’ or ‘look at this detail in this awesome painting’ or ‘this is how to improve this aspect in your drawings’.
Yes I am on tumblr. Yes I am on tumblr too much.
The only opinion that matters here is your partner’s.
You went to so much trouble to arrange the pictures and left the tumblr ui in?
Wait, I thought that just accepted everything? Because if you don’t care about cookies, you’d be fine with anything, no? But “rejecting” cookie banners to me implies rejecting cookies which is different if I’m not mistaken.
This is still traffic on the site.
What? The original argument was “Just because it exists doesn’t make it good.”, implying that it (click-bait thumbnails) doesn’t necessarily work. To which I said that the fact that it exists means it works. To which you seemed to object by saying that there may be people who have an interest in it existing - like they want it to exist despite it actually not working. I’m confused about what it is you’re saying.
What “interest” would they have to keep it that way if it wasn’t working?
Wealth inequality exists because it works for the people who have the power to control it. In a way, it’s not harmful ENOUGH to change evolutionarily.
Nobody said “good”, but if it keeps existing, it works or at least isn’t harmful. Bit like evolution.
“Remember Y2K and all the chaos that was supposed to happen? Computer nerds scared everybody into updating everything and make it ‘y2k proof’ or whatever and then it was a whole nothing burger.”
“Remember the hole in the ozone layer? Scientists made us ban CFC’s like we were going to die of skin cancer any day now and then nothing bad at all happened.”
