    Here’s a pro tip: sleep a lot the day before, and ideally the day before that too. On the important night don’t exhaust yourself with gaming or whatever, but don’t force it. You’ll end up sleeping maybe 4h, but if you slept well the previous two days, you’ll be fine.

    Sleep deprivation only really shows over prolonged periods of time. You can ace a lot of tests with the above method.









  • 13bn dollars in missed taxes while already abusing a tax heaven.

    When our stupid politicians will grow some balls (metaphorically, and independent of their gender-balanced commission/parliament), and we’ll actually introduce a proper minimum corporate tax for the entire EU market, it will be 50bn. At least.

    Combine this from all the big tech companies that are dodging our taxes, and we could quadruple our defense budget, double our education and healthcare spendings, and still supply every citizen with a bottle of champagne to celebrate.



  • You want to portrait yourself as an anti-corpo warrior. But all you’re doing is making corpo content a mainstream monopoly, and through that they will eventually find a way to make someone pay for it.

    You will only make corpos go broke if you actually spend some money on alternative content. Meaning that content will get better, and there will be some follower base to enjoy that content with.

    In fact, you’re helping them promote their stuff. E.g. everyone is watching that TV show and it’s all your friends are talking about. Now you have to do it too.

    If instead of pirating you’d be like “I think it’s extremely expensive to pay a subscription fee for this low tier content, so instead I’ve been reading X”. Maybe you’d convice someone to join you. But for now you’re just reinforcing the media monopoly.

    Classic lemmy logic. Lemme say something ridiculous, but it’s “capitalism bad”, so everyone will upvote.

    You’re playing a game, or watching a movie made by labor. Highly qualified and paid labor.

    All those involved in the production could easily go and make their own company and do their own movies/games. And they often do. But you keep pirating AAA titles and Hollywood produced movies instead of paying for indie games and watching independent cinema.

    That’s because deep in your soul you’re a capitalist hoe, you’re just also a poor joe, but somehow you need to rationalize.

    You want the system of capitalist abuse in the media industry to end? Instead of pirating, stop consuming for-profit media, and take your hard earned cash to support independent creators.

    Piracy helps that capitalist system. Cuz they’ll abuse everyone they can, and those who can’t will illegally use the results anyways. And this way no independent market will ever form.

    You’re not a warrior of freedom, anon. You’re a corpo sucker, just a poor one.
