Well done on making it to the bump limit /bigen/!
>>44803295i think a lot of 4chan is in that boat
>>44803002qottself employed.farming, herbalism, landowner etc. It's kind of just a smorgasbord of shit to do. Everything from bureaucratic hellpits to flipping dirt to making salves to house repair and even construction.Frankly I'm too lazy for all of it, but the opportunity is there and I'm trying not to squander it all.
What does /bigen/ think of non monogamy? I believe in open relationships i.e. I'm fine with my partner having sex with other people so long as their fine with me having sex with other people. Love is off the table though, they can only love me.
>>44803002I'm an economist. It's pretty interesting but I'd like to do some work in a different area of economics or change my career entirely. I have a friend who runs a financial research firm and I think I'll do some work for him.How about you OP?
>>44805318I think it's a recipe for disaster for most people, most people will get jealous, even if their partner is 'romantically monogamous' (usually not possible).
>>44805323Can you explain what an economist does exactly?>>44805327I think this is the reason most people are monogamous
>>44805318I know of one seemingly stable polycule. Credit to them, they seem pretty healthy. Personally I can't do that though, I'm monogamous through and through, I entertain the fantasy of having a gf and bf at the same time but it doesn't survive contact with reality, not even close.
>>44805347I think being around swingers all the time has had a big influence on me.
>>44805344Depends on the economist really, some forecast what the economy will be like in future, some try to understand how labour markets work. I work with regulation - essentially I figure how much it costs the economy and if there'll be any unforeseen circumstances.For example, here in Australia we made tobacco taxes too high so now tobacco is sold illegally and organised crime is firebombing tobacconists.
>>44805359Were your parents swingers?
>>44805366Why would they firebomb tobacconists?>>44805370God the idea of my hyper religious parents being swingers is sending me. Nah it's just been that I've been around swingers for most my adult life.
>>44805391Because the tobacconist isn't stocking their product. Usually they can't go to the cops because they're stocking some other gang's illegal tobacco.It's similar to turf wars for other drugs.
>>44805404Crime in Australia is truly fascinating.
>>44805426It just shows that there's limits to taxing things. It's the same with income, if you tax income more, people work less (or immigrate).
>>44805451>It just shows that there's limits to taxing things.Don't most developed countries have high taxes on tobacco products? If that's the case im not aware of any other developed country having a problem like this.>It's the same with income, if you tax income more, people work less (or immigrate).I'm becoming more and more convinced that the only form of taxation we should have is a land value tax. As an economist what's your opinion on georgism?
>>44805494>Don't most developed countries have high taxes on tobacco products? If that's the case im not aware of any other developed country having a problem like this.I don't think any other country has tobacco taxes as high as us. The only somewhat comparable country is New Zealand who have now banned anyone born after 2008 from smoking, but people born in 2009 haven't turned 18 yet.>As an economist what's your opinion on georgism?I don't know about it being the only tax, as high land taxes would largely distort the economy towards industries that don't require land. That being said I think land taxes are better than land transfer duties (i.e. taxing land when it's sold) as this stops land from being used for more efficient purposes.
>>44805512>I don't think any other country has tobacco taxes as high as us. The only somewhat comparable country is New Zealand who have now banned anyone born after 2008 from smoking, but people born in 2009 haven't turned 18 yet.Tbh these are all measures to discourage people from smoking and that's a good thing.>I don't know about it being the only tax, as high land taxes would largely distort the economy towards industries that don't require land.What other taxes would you want to implement then?
>>44805567>Tbh these are all measures to discourage people from smoking and that's a good thing.I agree, but illegal tobacco is cheaper than legal tobacco was >10 years ago when I smoked briefly, so now more people are smoking.>What other taxes would you want to implement then?Probably mostly income tax and some consumption tax. Not a fan of corporate taxation. Sin taxes are generally fine as long as they just recover the costs that the substances cost the healthcare system.
>>44803210Pure sex
>>44805318I'm into it. Not into polyamory (except maybe a throuple) but definitely into fucking others together or occasionally separate in a way that turns us both on. Part of why I'm bi4bi so we could fuck people we're both attracted to.
>>44805318>What does /bigen/ think of non monogamy?I straight up don't believe in it. I know monogamy is a social construct and whatever, but open relationships and polyamory and such are just cheating with extra steps 100% of the time, usually with one partner wanting it and the other only reluctantly being pressured into it. Obviously I think people should be able to do what they so if people want to engage in that, they can do it. But if they ask me for my honest opinion on it I'm not gonna mince words.
i worship feminine twinks
hello bisexuals i hope you're all having a fine day today
>>44807783Same ngl>>44808201Likewise anon
breast envy is a top tier kink desu
>>44803002unemployed by choice. I'm depressed and have money saved. I haven't been spending my time super well admittedly. Sometimes I regret quitting and having an income.
>>44805567>Tbh these are all measures to discourage people from smoking and that's a good thing.They don't. And it's objectively a bad thing. And you're insane."Anti smoking" is literally a psyop. You people are goycattle to a level you can't even comprehend.
>>44809167I wonder how common it is for non-hetero women to compare breast size in the same men as non-hetero guys comparing dick sizes>>44809301>"Anti smoking" is literally a psyop. You people are goycattle to a level you can't even comprehend.If not getting lung cancer and smelling like shit 24/7 makes me goycattle, then I'm happy being that way lmao
>>44809167It has the same vibe as seeing big pp bully small pp (not SPH that's different and meaner)
>>44809683>It has the same vibe as seeing big pp bully small pp (not SPH that's different and meaner)Is it bad that one of the main reasons I want to do it with a guy (only been with girls) is to do this? As the big pp I mean
>>44809327>If not getting lung cancerlung cancer rates have accelerated despite a lot fewer people smoking.you have fallen for propaganda.>then I'm happy being that waythe argument is not that you should smoke (go ahead and don't, no biggie). the argument is that you imposing your preference by force on everyone else makes you insane and a fundamental danger to the liberty of others.
>>44809761>lung cancer rates have accelerated despite a lot fewer people smoking.Not sure what data you're looking at, but every study I've seen says the opposite. >the argument is not that you should smoke (go ahead and don't, no biggie). the argument is that you imposing your preference by force on everyone else makes you insane and a fundamental danger to the liberty of others.I do acknowledge the hypocrisy in wanting smoking banned since I'm in favor of some other drugs being legalized (mainly psychedelics), but with smoking in particular it also affects other people since it stinks up the air around them and, in the worst cases, makes non-smokers develop lung cancer too. That plus smokers smelling like shit, cigarette butts being thrown in nature etc. just makes me personally want smoking to be illegal, even when I'm otherwise strongly in favor of personal freedoms.
>>44809751So long as your intentions are clear, no.>>44809761You can still smoke they just tax the businesses doing it because it's an addictive substance that is causing strain on the medical system. They also lied about their effects for most of the 1900s so the only thing you're defending is the right for companies to get away with killing people.If you wanted real autonomy you'd fight for the right for people to grow their own drugs and just not sell them. Letting companies sell addictive shit with damaging additives isn't freedom it's poisoning.
>>44809808>makes non-smokers develop lung cancer tooThis is straight up a lie. And it's an intentional lie as well. You literally gulped the whole propaganda, holy shit.https://slate.com/technology/2017/02/secondhand-smoke-isnt-as-bad-as-we-thought.html
>>44809887>strain on the medical systemsocialist garbage>>44809887>If you wanted real autonomy you'd fight for the right for people to grow their own drugs and just not sell themanarcho socialist garbagenigga we can't all be farmers and spend 90% of our existence just growing our food and drugs and brewing our beverages. It's an insane proposition.Also, btw, growing tobacco is legal in my country. So is growing weed (there are some limits on it, tho hardly enforced rigidly).
>>44809899>nigga we can't all be farmers and spend 90% of our existence just growing our food and drugsThe moment anything resembling actual autonomy is proposed you start whining, you're just a corpo shill, smoke your garbage and stop bitching at others for not joining in.And yeah, you can grow it even if it's illegal, just don't tell anyone, amazing what you can get done when you don't spend your time arguing for companies on basket weaving forums.
>>44809899>public health is le bad, I should be allowed to bleed out if I wantI agree you specifically shouldn't be helped in the event of an accident.
>>44809888>This is straight up a lie. And it's an intentional lie as well. You literally gulped the whole propaganda, holy shit.There are far more studies that show the opposite, and like I said, the secondary problems with smoking (smell, garbage, damage to nature etc.) are IMO enough for a ban to be the superior choice regardless. I put some studies here in case you're curious, though I fear you will just dismiss them as your mind seems to be made up already.https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2515267/https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/secondhand-smoke/health.htmlhttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38985741/
>>44810060>your mind seems to be made up already.right back at you, propagandized goy>>44810028>The moment anything resembling actual autonomy is proposed you start whiningI didn't. Again, your fantasy policy is already policy in my country.The problem arises when you want your policy to be the norm. If wanting to live a life in which I don't spend an enormous amount of time growing food and tobacco makes me a corpo shill, then so be it.
