@nuuxfairysecret Lungi da me difendere quell’idiota, ma con questa frase intendeva che non ci sono secondo lui diritti negati a persone omosessuali come in altri paesi, si tratta di comprensione del testo base

@Marmittaaa Puoi anche migliorare esteticamente e migliorare la tua vita, ma l’essere stato invisibile in passato ti condanna ad un vuoto perenne

@SignorErnesto Poi onestamente per me tutti potremmo pagare il 15% e sarei felicissimo, il problema si presenta quando chi deve pagare il 15% evade anche per non superare il limite sei forfettario e allora non solo sei aiutato ma pure disonesto

[midnight_cowboy @midnight_cow]

@SignorErnesto E cosa dovrebbe interessare a me del tuo rischio imprenditoriale scusa? Se produco x di reddito, tutti dovremmo pagare la stessa percentuale, le ferie, i permessi non sono regalati, sono pagati dal lavoratore che produce per l’azienda.

@EmeParonzini Non pensavo che lo stato tassasse in base alla difficoltà del lavoro e alla quantità di welfare, perché ricordo che rendite finanziarie e rendite sugli affitti hanno percentuali più basse rispetto ad un lavoratore dipendente. Basta ammettere che tassano di più chi non può evadere

@datmicahfr There aren’t really necessary use case for serverless. It’s only there for optimizing cost. If you need an operation 10 times, and calling a lambda cost you more than a vps, it’s simple math, it’s not about skill.

@annatrieste Quale mister? È andato via, non è più l’allenatore del Napoli, non capisco perché qualcuno non possa avere un’opinione. Tra l’altro si chiede rispetto per Conte quando lui non è che ha rispettato sempre i giocatori “non accompagno il morto”.

[midnight_cowboy @midnight_cow]

@AndreaTiberio7 Nei restanti anni di serie A hai vissuto sotto ad una roccia? Mi sembra che il Napoli abbia lottato per le prime posizioni quasi subito, Conte ha fatto bene 1 anno, ma andiamoci piano

@DLudovica Il Napoletano da fastidio perché siamo la città degli estremi, ad un’estrema rappresentazione di qualità artistica corrisponde un’estrema rappresentazione di ignoranza, criminalità e saccenza, infatti amo e odio napoli per questi motivi

@IndiaTales7 The clip it’s out of context, the journalists asked to her if she is going to do something against america violating the international right. The summarized response is “we do nothing, too much money involved”

Seeing looksmaxxing become a mainstream talking point after initially discovering it years ago on incel/blackpill subreddits and forums actually feels surreal.

Genuine advice for all the men that follow me, please read this post before buying into any of it.

It could genuinely save your life.

Put yourself in my shoes for a minute;

At 16 years old you have no dating experience whatsoever.

One day, you stumble upon a YouTube video taking about inceldom and although you find the idea of it so absurd, it’s presented in such an entertaining way that you can’t stop watching.

After the video ends, you search up the term online to find more resources on the matter and in doing so, become obsessed with redpill, blackpill, and incel subreddits for months.

Eventually the posts stop being purely entertainment for you, and you resonate with some of what’s being said.

Months pass.

At 17 you think no one will ever love you for being you, so as a result you dedicate your everything, for years, to being the kind of person that can experience that love;

You workout every day,

You work hard towards the actualization of your career every day,

And with everyone you meet, you try to put yourself in their mind to figure out how to best approach situations in order to better their idea of you.

Along the way, every negative experience and heartbreak only reinforces the ideas that were present in your mind, pushing you further down the rabbit hole.

And then, years later, when you finally end up ‘making it’ you doubt the intentions of every single person you ever meet because you hate the very idea of them liking you now because they would’ve never liked you back then.

Paranoia and anxiety don’t become traits that you possess, they become the very center of your being.

Your entire existence takes on a grey undertone so severe that you become even less the person you once were in such a way that you isolate yourself completely from who you are at your core.

You separate yourself from your hobbies,

Your interests,

Your family,

And your friends;

And in walking this path that makes you feel worse the further along you trudge across it, you believe that the only way forward is forward.

At 21, things hit a peak. After years of struggling and finally making it to the top of your industry you turn the cameras off and, while living out your literal childhood dream, feel nothing but hollowness as you drift off to sleep every night.

You realize that after years of being hurt, you’ve slowly turned into someone who also hurts others and, while hating it, feeling enough comfort in it that you continue down that path.

At 22, in an ultimate act of mental instability and foolishness you break things off with the only person you ever felt true comfort with because your mind convinces you that you’re undeserving of what you found and must rededicate yourself because maybe, just maybe, if you push yourself further you’ll feel deserving of love.

And then at 23, after she decides to work together with you and help you realize just how problematic your mindset has become for not only yourself, but all those you love, you finally go to therapy.

You spend months there, restrengthen the bond you had with your girlfriend, start dating again, propose, and get married.

And then, at almost 24, you feel more at peace than you ever have before after having not only found acceptance for yourself, but also committed yourself towards working on the negative traits in your personality that actually need to be fixed.

This entire concept is a trap that strings some people along for not only years, but decades at a time.

What’s the point of having all the knowledge in the world if the only thing it does is make you hate your existence inside of it?

Ironically, most people that end up getting into this rabbit hole only do so because they believe they’ll never be able to find someone who loves and accepts them for being them, and as a result they stray so far from who they are at their core that they end up turning their biggest fear into their most likely reality.

Yes, the dating pool is hard nowadays.

Yes, social media has warped peoples perceptions of what is ‘normal’.

Yes, there IS a male loneliness epidemic.

But, as someone that for years went down that rabbit hole, no matter how much research you do, how attractive you become, or how many people you sleep with, no amount of looksmaxxing or red pilling will ever make you happy.

You’ll render yourself somewhat immune to the hurt that you’ll experience throughout your life, but in doing so you’ll not only limit the amount of comfort and happiness that you’d regularly be able to feel with your partner, but you’ll also inevitably end up hurting genuine people in the process as well.

You’ll become so obsessed with the idea of what people’s idea of you is that you cease to even exist in your own mind.

Your personality won’t be a unique blend so in tune with who you are that you can cultivate a close circle of those that genuinely like and appreciate you for being you, and will rather end up becoming a cardboard cutout that while being able to appeal to more people, will only ever bring you surface level relationships that either never last or never go beyond the surface-level.

As much as I wish it weren’t the case, the only way to truly ‘ascend’ is to become okay with the idea of being hurt;

Being rejected,

Being heartbroken,

Being mentally shattered for months,

And being willing to give all of you, once again, to the next person you believe whose intentions will be true.

That’s not to say you shouldn’t self-improve, however.

Working on your career, your physique, your hobbies, and yourself is, and will always be, admirable.

But turning your entire way of being into that of someone who just wants the approval of others and the confidence boost that comes with it can only ever end disastrously.

Always remain true to who you are.

@Hesamation The AI being a bubble and AI as the real gamechanger for the next years could be both truth at the same time

@Hesamation A cs degree teach to you exactly this, the language is just a way to give input, but astraction is the key for reasoning and solving problems and ironically the coding itself it's part i love the least

@TylerGlaittli @awstar11 @MattWalshBlog My ex girlfriend was happy with me until i started to open up about my insecurities, and the reason she left me was “you are too insicure”

@homelessdripman Ma questo va di pari passo con le 300 domande a De Bruyne del “perché hai scelto di venire qui?”, come se fosse un qualcosa di impossibile, anche i giornalisti devono crescere dal provincialismo

🇪🇺 eu/acc

A few weeks ago Mario Draghi asked my recommendations for his report that came out today about European competitiveness

I had a call with him and summarized my problems with doing business in the EU

I wrote this which is included in the report presented to the European Union today:

1. Minimum revenue cut offs for current and new regulation
Exempt small businesses with annual revenues below €10 million from complex regulations like VATMOSS, GDPR, the EU AI Act, and certain labor laws. This approach encourages innovation and growth by allowing startups to focus on product development and market validation without the heavy burden of regulatory compliance. Once these businesses surpass €10 million, they will have the resources to comply with regulations, ensuring that growth is not stifled.

2. Simplify starting a pan-EU business with an EU-wide Incorporation (Inc.) business form
Currently, starting and operating a business across the EU is complex due to 27 member states, each with its own company registration requirements. To streamline this process and make it easier for entrepreneurs to operate across Europe, there should be a single, standardized business entity that applies uniformly across all EU countries. I call this the European Inc.

3. Start an EU business fully online, no physical offices, notaries, lawyers etc
To continue, right now starting a business in most EU member states it’s complicated, very time and resource intensive, and often involves lawyers and notaries. Instead, it should be as simple as going online to a centralized EU website, where entrepreneurs can register their business and details in just a few clicks. The entire process should be streamlined and efficient, allowing businesses to start operating immediately.

The EU government taxes and bookkeeping of this business should also be fully online in an EU portal/dashboard.

4. 0% corporate tax for first 3 years of any new business
Countries like Singapore have successfully attracted new businesses from around the world by giving them a massive tax discount during the first 3 years of business. Because they know that’s the most difficult time of a business: figuring out what product it makes and if there’s a market for it. That takes pressure off startups and business founders that they can focus on creating a great product and innovating.

5. Change tax on stock options: don't tax when a stock option is exercised, but tax it when the stock is sold
The current tax policy in the EU taxes stock options at the time they are exercised, creating a significant financial burden on employees who have not yet realized any tangible financial gain. This approach stifles innovation, discourages entrepreneurship, and places the EU at a competitive disadvantage compared to other regions like the United States.

I propose a simple change: Tax stock options when the stock is sold, not when the option is exercised.

6. Don’t see tech or AI as an enemy, but as a burgeoning and essential industry
The most popular companies in tech are focused on AI right now for a reason. It’s the next frontier of computing. The European Union seems to consider AI the enemy. Any technology can be used for good or bad. By regulating it even before Europe has made much contributions (Europe has almost no tech companies leading in AI), it has stifled any potential innovation in AI from the start.

Apart from the regulation itself, the optics of it make the EU look bad on a global scale. Why would tech founders move to Europe to start a business if the EU is actively positioning itself as Anti-AI?

AI has gigantic potential to be used for good: think of the medical field for diagnosis of diseases, generally in programming (it helps programmers to create software faster/better), etc.

This goes further than AI. The same applies to tech in general. It seems the EU is on a crusade against technology while not being able to compete in it itself. It feels a case of sour grapes: if we can’t build great technology in EU, nobody is allowed to do so!

7. Teach tech/coding/AI topics in all schools and unis
It would help a lot if the EU has a focus on teaching AI and tech in schools and universities. Making the new generation competitive in this field instead. To secure the future prosperity of the European Union, we must prioritize education in technology, coding, and AI across all levels of schooling, from primary education to universities. This strategic focus is not just an educational reform—it’s a critical investment in the future competitiveness, innovation, and economic resilience of the EU.
