The obvious solution is to commit more than the average number of crimes of your fellow citizens.

Or, more specifically, more crimes than the average of your cohort of facial recognition doppelgangers.

That way, when the AI brings you to justice, it’s likely to be justice for a lesser crimes than the ones you already got away with.

Very cool.

I’m not sure what a channel dedicated to this would even be called, but I would be so down for that.

So … These are book titles. Took me a minute to figure that out, and I’ve read many of these.

I can heartily recommend the ones I have read.

That said… Some of those are hundreds of pages. I read faster than almost anyone I know, but I don’t read fast enough to complete some of these in a day. (Others would be fine. Some of are shorter.)

Edit: Several books I routinely recommend are missing here. Most notably, I don’t see anything by Dale Carnegie or by Steven Covey. Too long maybe?

And for anyone that catches that “Boundaries” is listed twice, that’s probably not a mistake. Everyone should read “Boundaries” twice. It’s short, and it’s important.

Roger, Roger!

Surely, you’re joking?

I obviously didn’t mean that it never happens.

Vancouver is an unusually valuable area, and owning for 10+ years is an unusual case. The average span that a home is owned by one owner is about four years.

Even ignoring typical tax exemptions on primary residences, the average homeowner has almost no chance of getting hit by this tax.

I was responding to the lottery thinking that this was going to be an issue for anyone discussing the tax, in this thread. Everyone thinks they’re going to get that lucky, and, on average, they are not.

Statistically, zero people who saw this post will gain $250,000.00 of equity through homeownership in a single taxable event.

Not even house sales, really. None of us are lucky enough to gain a quarter of a million dollars through home ownership.

Graphic Design being low demand has always confused me.

Graphic design is really hard to do well, and there’s a ton of legitimate need for it. After all, every business needs a logo and a few print ads.

But maybe there’s just not much demand for doing it well?

I could believe that. I’ve seen plenty of small business logos and print ads that were obviously done by someone who doesn’t know what they’re doing.

Or is there just a massive oversupply because that’s where all the extra art history students retrain?

I’m going to guess it’s not oversupply, because, again, those mom and pop businesses would have decent logos, right?

I dunno… I’m genuinely curious how a trade that’s that hard to get really good at has such high unemployment.

I guess the aerospace degree has the same thing going, according to this chart.
