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

That’s how I speak and write.

You do you.

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.

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.

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.

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

“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.

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.

No, I argue just the way I like.

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.

At that point why not just declare bankruptcy? If he was couch surfing then he had no assets to lose. Sure bankruptcy fucks your credit for a while but it’s better than having nothing and still having your wage garnished. That’s literally the situation that bankruptcy exists for. If you somehow get yourself in a truely irrecoverable amount of debt then it’s your get out of jail relatively free card.

Ahh, so he did a bunch of fraud. The reason the government was writing blank cheques was because people were dying in the millions and businesses were failing left and right. He’s lucky he’s not in prison.
I’m glad he’s doing better now, but I can’t help but think of the people who needed that money and might not have gotten it in time (or maybe at all) because of what he did. Does he ever think about that, do you know?

If we all did this capitalism would collapse.
PunnyName@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Sounds like we should all do this.
Tja@programming.dev 3 weeks ago
“if we all stopped working and just did drugs and hookers the economy would collapse” is not that deep of a thought.
Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Yeah, but it being a desirable outcome is a bit novel.
mkwt@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Clearly not, because $country did all this shit, and capitalism did not collapse, somehow…this time.

Its all part of the risk calculation that’s made by the loan companies that make these credit offers to those deemed to be high credit risk.
Who they really are trying to hook are people who live paycheck to paycheck and keep rotating a balance of old loan balances and newer loan balances because between origination fees, interest, late fees and any other BS fees they decide to tack on they can make absolute bank indefinitely off of folks who struggle with budgeting and are constantly one surprise away from taking on more debt. Alternatively its folks who think in terms of monthly payments and nothing else
