in addition to what others said, it l matters who is making the rules.

in my own home i make my own rules and they are subject to my discretion and may change whenever I want. and even if someone is following all my stated rules if I don’t want them there, they aren’t allowed to be there.

following a community’s rules doesn’t guarantee anything and the person making the rules has a right to remove or keep whoever they want. you have no right or expectation to remain in a community if the community owner doesn’t want you there.

businesses and hoas and neighborhoods make the majority of their own rules but can be superseded by rules from the county, town, state, or federal government.

when a business runs afoul, a customer may bring a lawsuit to the higher authority. in lemmy communities, other than instance admins there are no higher authorities so you get what you get.

furthermore if we lived in a fully libertarian world where there were no higher authorities governing business (which is a closer analogy to lemmy) you would either have to deal with being discriminated against, or try to organize with other members of your community a boycott to pressure the business into behaving as you want through capitalism. you can do the same on lemmy. you can boycott a community or instance and try to guide others to better communities.

you got banned from an internet forum. not kicked out from a physical place serving goods. these are not the same. you are not a victim.

you don’t have a right to force yourself onto an online community that doesn’t want you there, regardless of how reasonable you feel your opinions are.

some people and mods on Lemmy have nanometer thin skin. it’s kind of expected with the free for all nature of who can make a community and moderate it.

their communities will either die by natural selection because they’ve banned everyone who can participate. or they will become deep echo chambers. both of these are allowed and expected in the fediverse.

if you don’t like their community and how they run things, make your own alternative community and run it the way you like. that is within your control. it is not within your control to change the behavior of every random human on the internet that does something in a way you don’t like.

curious as to the significance of mentioning “linux user” lol

him being a sex offender is very old news basically chiseled in stone at this point. this is just yet another case of him being a sex offender.

who are they kidding. they’ll vote to remove veterans benefits also.

Thanks!

What’s the difference between a backdoor roth and mega backdoor roth? you’re moving a 401k into a Roth?

my guess is my income in retirement will be less than my income now so I’m guessing my taxes will be lower?

thanks for the advice about finding an advisor!

I ain’t a high roller like some of y’all. But I’m wondering about some questions like “should I (and could I) do a backdoor Roth” or a “Roth 401k” and was wondering if I should talk to a financial advisor. But I don’t feel like I’m in the asset bracket for someone who has a “financial advisor” so I’m kind of scared to talk to one.

Did you guys have a financial person to talk to when you didn’t have a ton of money? If not, approximately at what level of assets did you talk to a financial advisor?

Fair enough. yeah my south African one was a guess that there might be a large population of conservative holdouts but I’m afraid I don’t know much about the country in recent years.

there are a different type of conservatism. Nigeria has Christian fundamentalist conservatism so they love Trump’s anti-gay and anti-abortion government. India is hyper pro-capitalist so they love billionaires owning everything. South America is pro-apartheid and they mostly love Elon Musk.

Japan is conservative in a social sense that doesn’t include religion. they don’t mesh with trump’s America. Poland should love Trump, so not sure what’s happening there other than they’re concerned about his pro-Russia stance. that said the polish government doesn’t seem popular with its people so maybe it is a case of them having a conservative government but not a conservative population.

all those countries are fairly conservative or have large conservative populations

Nigeria has been taken over by Christian taliban. They love Trump particularly because they hate gay people.

ah i see

In both the anime and manga adaptations, most of the series’ “fanservice” comes from peeks at Senshi’s underwear. In the spirit of this, could you describe Senshi’s sex appeal?

KUI: So the term “fanservice” feels a little off to me, but I have seen people talking about Senshi’s sex appeal. The reason I came up with this idea [of showing Senshi in his underwear] is that when I was little, I used to live in this city where there was an old man hanging his laundry while just wearing his underwear.

It was awkward for me, and I really didn’t want to look at him. But from his perspective, he really didn’t care. He didn’t care what other people thought. I found that vibe interesting. So, Senshi is a similar type of person who really doesn’t care what other people think about him. Laios is probably more like me [and feels] a little bit awkward looking at other people in just their underwear. But I thought this vibe was really funny and interesting. That’s why I drew Senshi that way.

i don’t understand what there is to disagree with here.

Climbing carabiners look nothing like the cheap carabiners so I don’t think someone who climbs accidentally mixing them up would be possible.

How do I do that? Just google “local accountants”? How do I find one that will be more targeted to individuals rather than businesses?

Depending on how much you saved you could maybe hit FIRE. otherwise if you’re just starting you might be able to hit FI but probably not the retire early part depending on your expenses.

I know some people that had lucrative jobs that lost them and had to go working part time at Office Depot though so maybe you’re like them and have a ton saved.
