IT'S 2026 WHY THE FUCK CAN'T I MARK A YOUTUBE VIDEO AS WATCHED

@denisyurchak Austrian here. No corruption? The fuck? You live in the same country?

I pay 50% tax in Austria. Here is what my taxes here buy: 1. Friendly social climate The playing field in Vienna is extremely levelled out. There are some old-money folks and rich oil arabs who come to shop, but most people earn about the same. As a senior engineer, you will earn about 30% more than a waiter, not orders of magnitude like in Eastern Europe. A waiter may even earn more because they get tipped in cash. I go to a premium boxing club, and the people I box with are bus drivers, policemen, and teachers. People don't hustle too much, are chill and friendly. There is very little aggression on the street, as opposed to NYC or Warsaw, for example. There is no subservient attitude in the service sector, which people from the US and Eastern Europe perceive as bad service. 2. (Almost) free education Most state universities in Austria cost under 400 euros/semester. The quality of education is high, and you can go learn anything you want, any time. Most people stay enrolled in a uni "just in case", well into their 30s. Vienna attracts tons of students, and it creates a cool young vibe (not to mention a constant influx of really hot girls). 3. Insane infrastructure The streets and public transit in Vienna are clean like an OP room. The buses are plentiful and on time. The cars in big cities are absolutely useless – you can move faster with bikes or public transport. The bike lanes are world-class - riding a bike in Vienna is safe, fast, and enjoyable. 4. Nature protection The taxpayer bucks buy a very well-preserved nature and clean water. Vienna is one of the few cities in Europe with a swimmable river. Swimming in the Danube in summer is genuinely an unbeatable experience (and maintaining it costs a lot of taxpayer money). 5. Expensive restaurants Because of the high price of labor, restaurants are expensive (and also mid-quality). Eating out daily is not a thing. Some places offer business lunches called tages menu, but most people eat at home every day. 6. No corruption The police and government officials earn a lot. The risk of getting caught for bribes is high, so bribing here is unthinkable. You can still "arrange" stuff if you know the right people, but this only works for small things and really close connections. ––– Overall, I would say this lifestyle is worth it if you are a student or 50+, have kids, and just want to chill. If you are young and entrepreneurial, Austria might hold you back more than give you for the tax you pay.

@projekt100x Das Problem für mich ist dass man dafür ein Dach oder Balkon mit ungehinderter Sicht zum Himmel braucht. Und eine Außensteckdose. Habe ich als Peasant Mieter leider beides nicht.

10€ günstiger als die Telekom, bei potentiell doppelter Geschwindigkeit. Bin gespannt auf Starlink! 🛰️📡

@KingBootoshi I absolutely hate this take

anybody who seriously uses AI at this point deeply understands this shit is not replacing humans in anything because we are all working 10x more since we are 10x more productive everyone is just going to operate at a new layer that was never seen before and it's MARVELOUS

Touch grass 🫶

Working a 9 to 5 is a great way to entirely numb yourself to life and not experience anything of value and then die within a tsunami of regrets.

@christianmiele Bro was??

Die Verbindung von Robotics, KI und Energie ist der Lottogewinn für Deutschlands Industrie. Unsere einzigartige Kompetenz, hochpräzise Hardware mit moderner Software zu verschmelzen, ist der Schlüssel für die nächste Innovationswelle. Robust, zuverlässig, innovativ. So führen wir „Made in Germany“ zurück an die Weltspitze.

@EU_Commission x.com/antoniob_dev/s…

@EU_Commission Bruh are you serious, you guys literally hate freedom of opinion and fight it in every possible way 😭

Let the truth be told, let the press be free. 📰 Journalists hold power to account, uncover injustice, and keep citizens informed often at great personal risk. This #WorldPressFreedomDay, we reaffirm our commitment to protecting journalists and defending independent media. Because free press is the foundation of democracy.

Who says the EU can't do innovation? RegulationAI, coming soon!

@0xbeanstalk you literally cannot "waste" a life. whatever happens, happens and in the end you die anyway

i have wasted my entire life. what now?

@BoringBiz_ Then you literally die of boredom

A lot of people dont like hearing this but the highest ROI move for the majority of people is to double down on their career path and make the next promotion at their job, rather than attempting to run a side hustle or business

The post Keynesian dream

Whatever you do in life, just don't be fucking boring.

@stewartbrand Honest question: in what way? Isn’t art supposed to critique? This is just iterating the mainstream position

One of the best statues ever...

@freiheitshandy Das deutscheste was ich in letzter Zeit gesehen habe

„Seit 6 Monaten kein Google mehr auf meinem Handy. Ich vermisse nichts — aber ich genieße alles." Fertig eingerichtet. Sofort loslegen. Ab 475€.

@_mujanovic_m Weil Deutsche Angst vor ihrem eigenen Schatten haben. Und deutsche Boomer sind die wohl am wenigsten neugierigen Menschen auf diesem Planeten.

70% der Deutschen haben keine Aktien. Gleichzeitig ist Deutschland eines der reichsten Länder der Welt. Warum ist das so?

Realized that I don’t have it in me to be an entrepreneur. Every relatively easy venue you can do solo is oversaturated. Time to apply for jobs again, and do my projects on the side. There really is no way out of the hamster wheel if you don’t have the right connections, is there?

@FilipsMoneyX Hey kannst du mir morgen vielleicht dein Auto borgen?

Pov: Du fängst einfach nur an deine Gedanken zu Teilen Posts zu erstellen die einem menschen vielleicht wirklich etwas bringen Einfach machen

@sama No no no we WANT AI to replace us mate. These bullshit jobs are no way to live. Just set us free come on

we want to build tools to augment and elevate people, not entities to replace them.
