According to pic, it seems like anon took out 2 huge loans!

[–] Samdell@lemmy.eco.br 4 points 2 days ago

Second thing you do after taking a huge loan. First is two chicks at the same time.

And I still have to be alive afterwards? Pass.

You need to have a feasable business to do that part.

Don't do it OP, traveling and broadening your mind might make you enjoy life and then you'd not be so nonchalant about deleting yourself. You might end up on prison, where you'll suffer doubly due to your newfound love of life and freedom! Better semi-suffer in an empty existence for the rest of your life like most others.

Or like, just stay on a foreign beach with your embezzled money and a drink in your hand and never come back. Actually seems like the best option overall...

Why say "deleting yourself"? Are we really going to censor our speech here too? There's no advertisers to spook by saying killing or committing suicide

[–] DrDystopia@lemy.lol 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Why say "deleting yourself"?

That's how I speak and write.

Are we really going to censor our speech here too?

You do you.

There's no advertisers to spook by saying killing or committing suicide

I know, as I've hosted my own Lemmy instance on several occasions. There are a lot of social and networking issues an admin has to consider depending on the content and tone they're willing to accept on their instance but that's besides the point.

The point is that I moderate my speech or of consideration to my fellow human beings and not advertising companies.

[–] jasory@programming.dev 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

"consideration to my fellow human beings".

Because your fellow human beings are so profoundly stupid as to not understand that "delete" and "kill" have the same semantic value in that sentence?

If you are going to argue for word replacement it should be for stylistic reasons (rhyming, alliteration, humour, etc), or semantic reasons, as in actually changing the meaning of the statement.

Changing the wording of statement, while retaining the same semantic value, does nothing to reduce offense when the semantic value is what would cause offense.

[–] DrDystopia@lemy.lol 1 points 3 hours ago

No, because people could be traumatized by suicide and get a reaction every time they hear the word. I compare your argument to refusing to stop blasting off crackers around war veterans, it's obviously not gunshots and vets are not stupid enough to mistake them for gunshots.

If you are going to argue for word replacement it should be

No, I argue just the way I like.

Changing the wording of statement, while retaining the same semantic value, does nothing to reduce offense when the semantic value is what would cause offense.

I'm not trying to reduce offense, I'm trying to be considerate. But it seems that's an unknown concept to you. I see no point in communicating with you further, good bye and I wish you a life as nice as you are.

[–] LoreleiSankTheShip@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Fair enough, I can't argue with that. Language shifts and evolves I suppose, but it still seems problematic to me that the people (not you specifically) change the way they speak to suit an algorithm and not the other way around.

And that's not even mentioning the fact that many people are perfectly alright with using "unalive" and "delete" instead of "kill" or "die" but can't bring themselves to use trans inclusive language, for example. Again, not refering to you with this, you were just the unfortunate person to receive my albeit unwanted rant.

[–] DrDystopia@lemy.lol 2 points 21 hours ago

Well I actively hacked at the X-Twitter shadowban algo to prove censorship to the point where my account was not only shadowbanned but shadowblocked. Can't even log in to delete my account anymore. But I suppose that's the opposite of what you're describing.

many people are perfectly alright with using “unalive” and “delete” instead of “kill” or “die” but can’t bring themselves to use trans inclusive language

There's an important difference, censorship forces people to adhere to synthetic rules. It's harder to force people to be inclusive or nice.

As someone who has travelled and done a lot of random things in my 40 years of life:

[–] Retrograde@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

In my 35 years I still regard travel as the best thing one can do with their life but that was when I was outgoing and not depressed so who knows

[–] plyth@feddit.org 7 points 3 days ago

Did you take out a huge loan to pay for it?

[–] Retrograde@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

Classic life bamboozle

As someone who games banks as best I can this would absolutely not work.

Credit cards caught on to this around 2010 or so. That’s why balance transfers always have a fee now. You could do this with either balance transfers or cash advances, both of which have fees now. So you’ll end up increasing the balance by 3% each month.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

My grandparents did this for decades with 20+ cards. Yes it's illegal to do this.

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 71 points 4 days ago (5 children)

Just put your ultra capitalist hat when the time comes to repay them. Tell them its a free market and they took a risk like all for profit ventures, but its not looking good for them and better luck next time. Also nice tits bro, very milk.

[–] cheers_queers@lemmy.zip 20 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I've heard of people getting their credit score up, taking out all their lines of credit, then dipping to Europe for 10 years to start a business. By the time they came back, their credit scores were fine again because it had been long enough to not affect it. Obviously planning to do this ahead of time is illegal, but if it just happens by circumstance and you're stuck in Europe and can't pay back the debt for 10 years then like…

Then like…what? You have massive debt and can never return? Or we’re pretending Europe is a different planet and you can just “start new”?

“You’ve heard of people”. No, you haven’t.

nO yOu HaVeNt sorry for not including a link that took me three seconds to google, asshole

Europe doesn't use the same credit history system as the US; so yes, it quite literally is a different planet in that sense and you quite literally can start new. This is not financial advice.

The real question is how many people would have to do this at once to bankrupt the lenders?

I like how this image smugly pretends like it's above it all when lust and time wasting questions are like 2/5 pillars of the human condition.

My brother in Christ, have you heard of filing bankruptcy?

[–] nutbutter@discuss.tchncs.de 16 points 4 days ago

I... Declare... BANKRUPTCY!!!

[–] hanrahan@slrpnk.net 20 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (3 children)

Picture related ... Or not?

Tjat aside anaon, just decakre bankruptcy.

But i think anon's plan will fall at the first hurdle, getting a large loan requires collateral.

anyone knows a loanshark? the kind that will kill me if I don't pay back

[–] LaLuzDelSol@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Even better- saves you the trouble of having to figure out that last part yourself!

[–] gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 20 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It might work that way in the first life but then when you're reborn you're gonna have really poor credit score and that sucks too in its own way.
