Yeah, taxes are generally unavoidable for most people.

Honor unreciprocated is a self-inflicted vulnerability which begs abuse. It's pathetically naive to pretend otherwise. Even coercive strategies like omerta in traditional organized crime are easily broken.
Honor does not scale. There is no benefit in wasting it on the unworthy.

I said some kind words about Anthropic when they refused to do targeting foreign and domestic.
In retrospect that was myopic praise.

2) The unreleased music might have been master recordings to be used in a future album. I don't know if you are aware that master recordings are worth a lot. Artists spend years and millions trying to buy back the master recordings they signed away to get their first record deals.
Master recordings of a bunch of tree frogs at night....likely aren't worth all that much.
I would be inclined to consider any master recordings of any Beyonce content to be lesser than tree frog recordings....so....

Submission + - Computer Misuse Act of 1990 hamstrung cyber security
An anonymous reader writes: Computer Misuse Act of 1990 – which has hamstrung the work of the nation’s cyber security
“The long-awaited reform of Britain’s outdated Computer Misuse Act of 1990 – which has hamstrung the work of the nation’s cyber security professionals and researchers for years – is to be included in a new National Security Bill.”
“It comes partly in response to the 2024 Southport terror attack, and more recent incidents targeting Britain’s Jewish community, and will create offences around creating and disseminating harmful material online, and according to Westminster will close gaps within the nation’s state threats legislation and align it more closely with anti-terror laws.”

Yes, that was my point. I'd rather be unemployed in Europe than struggling to make ends meet with two jobs in the US. Don't get me started on healthcare.
I'd rather work in the US, with all the opportunities to be found here.....either director or actual 1099 contract working....where I can make more than a comfortable living.
I have good insurance and have access to the best and most modern health care options in the world here in the US....I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. Life if GREAT here.
Every country has its problems and all, but you have NO reason to be looking down your nose at the US.
If it sucks here so badly,, why are SO many trying to come here?
and when a serious illness hits you in the EU or Canada why do you try your best to get to the US for treatments that your socialize medicines won't or can't cover?
