While I believe that nobody should be able to wield that much wealth in the first place, arguably being a world-famous artist is among the least unethical ways to become rich as long as the artistic work isn't bought from ghostwriters. It takes $10 in net profit from 100m fans to make a billion, and I could easily imagine a sizable crowd of her followers genuinely wanting to give her money like that (whereas, for example, I never would have willingly agreed to give Nestlé's leadership money, even when I used to buy their brands still).

I don't care about her specifically, but from a "owning the fruits of your own labor" perspective, I think it makes sense for the art itself to be a big part of that.

Because I'm just interpreting the statement as it was written while you are reading an additional argument into it that the comment plainly does not make. I suggest you brush up on argumentation theory if that is too difficult for you to understand

The statement I was addressing was where they were called "exactly the same."

You are the one misinterpreting a statement here, by insinuating that the OP's assertion of "exactly the same" was referring to Russia and US as a whole. It wasn't, and so the point you're arguing against is one that OP never made.

You're arguing as if they had said Russia and the US are morally the same; what they actually said was that they are guilty of the same aforementioned crimes.

The [US] is actively and purposefully destabilising multiple countries and are basically terrorists at this point

Tell me how that sentence is wrong.

Are you basing this rant on your personal (anecdotal) experience of it working out for you, or actual statistics?

..Haley supports a nationwide abortion ban and can't remember what the civil war was about. Reasonable‽

It will happen, probably in weeks to months.

Even "down time" doesnt really feel like down time because I am stuck between either boredom, working on yet another thing or thinking about things in general.

Oh man, I feel this so much. Most of my hobbies are somewhat work-like so while I enjoy them, they're not really relaxing. And I can't really "do nothing"

Ich habe Ende letzten Jahres mein Studium abgeschlossen und arbeite jetzt seit einem Monat in Vollzeit. Wenn ich mir anschaue, wie viel ich aufgabenmäßig zu tun habe, ist es gar nicht so viel mehr als vorher, aber irgendwie habe ich mich an die 40-Stunden-Woche immer noch nicht gewöhnt.

Eigentlich ist mein Job so entspannt wie es nur geht– ich mag die Arbeit wirklich gern, ich kann dreimal die Woche von zu Hause arbeiten und die Arbeitszeit wird nicht einmal kontrolliert. Trotzdem sträubt sich mein ADHS-verseuchtes Hirn immer noch gegen die Idee, die Hälfte meiner Zeit an Wochentagen mit Aufgaben zu verbringen, die ich mir nicht selbst ausgesucht habe. Und an den Tagen, an denen ich im Büro bin, habe ich hinterher keine wirkliche Energie mehr für meine Hobbyprojekte, die ich eigentlich furchtbar gerne wieder aufgreifen würde.

Ich bin sicher, das wird sich einpendeln. Aber jetzt gerade fühlt es sich noch sehr eingeengt an.
