Do we have a nomination for this year’s Darwin Award?
It’s hilarious when you get more and more strident responses, each one sent Reply All, which generates their own response from more and more people.
Then the comedians step up with more replies.
The only solution I’ve ever found is to stop email delivery and delete all queued messages, but that’s getting harder the more we rely on external providers, fortunately they tend to get flagged as spam.
Or … you send an Excel spreadsheet attachment with your wholesale pricing to every … single … IT company in a city with over 2 million people and double down with an updated version when someone points out that using the To: field is probably not the best way to start your new business … that immediately folded the next day when those same IT companies, now armed with everyone’s email address in a single convenient discussion thread, started discussing matters at hand … and related issues.
Source: I received that email and the rebuke and the subsequent discussion.
Stop with this, I’m reporting you to IT.

The $18.6 million in cash and 225 gold bars in two boxes that belonged to the late Mr. Jimmy Lemi Milla.
Not sure whom you’re replying to here, but I can tell you that the Australian Tax legislation is absolutely massive to account for such “loopholes”. There was an enquiry into this and I believe that most of the recommendations have been ignored. I do not think that globally there is an appetite to actually fix this, because those in charge have amassed their wealth from the exisiting tax infrastructure and there is no incentive to address the inequities surrounding this, since the majority of those who vote are subject to the same tax code.
Watching the various motorcycle touring series that Ewan McGregor and Charlie Boorman made hints at some of the realities of this intersection between life and acting.
There’s several references to skills that Ewan picked up to make one or other movie and how those skills are now part of “life”.
I do seem to recall that Ewan also pointed out that these skills were incomplete, pretending to be a chef convincingly requires some actual skills, but not decades of background training.
I doubt that it’s substantially any different from learning a new hobby and moving on to the next one and starting again. You don’t forget the first hobby and are likely to use some of it in the next one. Other than being taught by an actual expert, which seems like a potential unexpected perk of acting.
In short, the journey of life is peppered with things you learn, regardless of your chosen profession.
WTF … that’s So. Not. Cool.
No, but the lecturer has a bubble jet printer stuck under the desk.
I was not having a go at the OP, and was providing a “wrong” answer, irony, not sarcasm, related, but not the same.
Sarcasm would be me having a go at your attempts at teaching me how to use English, which I won’t, since I’m not upset with you, just bemused at your assertions.
Dear reader, permit me to introduce you to the concept of Irony.
To me the issue is caused by how we determine how much tax is paid.
If you’re wealthy, you can structure your income in such a way that you are not earning any and therefore don’t need to pay tax on that “non-existent” income.
It’s also how the multinational companies structure their finances to make little or no profit except in the lowest taxing country around where “all” their “profits” are taxed.
In other words, we need to restructure the tax system globally to measure income and profit differently instead.
With the current crop of Neanderthals in charge, it’s unlikely to happen in our lifetime unless something drastically changes. I’m not holding my breath.
If you’re at the WTF stages from reading this, you should know that this saying applies: If all you have is a hammer, then every problem looks like a nail.
The author appears to be attempting to draw a parallel with AI, but it seems somewhat lost in translation.
Mind you, AI, or as I like to call it, Assumed Intelligence, is prone to uttering perfectly sounding gibberish which in the industry is known as Hallucinations.
ProTip: Include the closing paragraph of text but colour it in white, so the academic printing out your paper won’t notice.
