It’s not really a profession, more of a business which you may or may not run yourself.

There’s also the kind that’s old and semi-retired and cares for properties part time. I’m curious what the breakdown is now. When it comes to the big properties, at least in Canada it seems like there’s more multi-shareholder corporate landlords than Trump family-type landlords.

Wait, really? Do you have a link?

The conventional wisdom is that they barely ever work, but they’re also cheap enough per view it still makes economic sense for the one influenced purchase per person per year or whatever.

I can’t believe this is the only mention of landlords to date.

Fun fact, in Europe a lot of countries will pay for your homeopathy. Woo actually might be a bigger thing there.

It’s absolutely true. They might be a building over from someone doing level 1 tech support but making half the hourly rate.

Just having no morals won’t make you rich, but it can pay the rent alright.

In some civil cases they do literally just ask for a cut of any winnings.

If you’re thinking of protein design it is, just with a sequence instead of natural language text. Although it’s not just a straight LLM, there’s some kind of physics awareness engineered in as well.

Anything that’s fuzzy and impossible to automate with traditional algorithms, but that also has a reasonably high tolerance for error. It just makes up stuff a good portion of the time, you see.

However, I’ve found some benefits with AI. For example, I’m chatting with ChatGPT on credit cards, because it is something I may lean towards getting into. It’s helping me better understand than most people have tried explaining to me. Simply because it is giving me a more stream-lined response than people just beating the bush.

Watch out, personal finance is not one of those things.

Have a look at the list. Most won’t even get through the top 10 before finding a guy that just quietly enjoys having unfathomable wealth, and that you’ve never heard of.

A few use their wealth for (attempted) good or evil, and they tend to get noticed more. You might know Peter Thiel, but he’s all the way down at like 170th or something.

I don’t have hard data, but it seems self-evident just from my personal experience. And going back to the original point, it’s a nation of 400 million.

Yeah, occasionally. Honestly that’s fine, the annoying thing is when they assume everyone else is, too.

Yup. It was after something else little me was actually trying to watch. Couldn’t unsee.

Yeah, I haven’t noticed an unusual amount. Lemmy is still mostly Americans, and then maybe Brits and Germans. Just anyone that can speak English and has had broadband long enough to acclimatise to nerd culture, basically.

I can’t tell if they haven’t thought through what that would mean for them themselves, or they know it’s BS but it’s still good for marketing.

There’s many kinds, but yes.

I know canola has the lowest saturated fat of them all, which is also why it doesn’t smoke easily.

This would have worked way better centuries ago. Now, anything with a coast is a bit of a surprise bag.

Australia is far from England, and NZ is literally antipodal to Spain which is close, but they’re pretty English and not very Papuan or Indonesian.

Other plant oils are even better yet, if you don’t insist on the consistency. Except peanut, maybe? I forget.

Learn a second language and keep up with the language your parents speak. You will regret being a brat about not wanting to speak this language especially as your family members pass.

Languages are the one thing that gets harder as you get older. Kinda why immersion schooling seems like a decent idea, even if it delays other skills a bit.

American English is the most spoken kind and pretty close to British RP, so it’s not Quebecois. If you want a weird dialect, maybe Jamaican patois, or some of the ones from backcountry UK.

I think you already have the answer, and know everyone else here agrees with you.
