Yeah, this is what it is. This article isn’t saying that investments don’t constitute passive income, they’re saying that the way financial advice industry has started using “passive income” as a buzz word is, at best, stretching the truth and, at worst, an outright lie.

I totally get what you are saying, and I don’t disagree with you about horrible downstream effects of RvW decision, but this isn’t that imo

You have, actually. You’ve signed a waiver for every single prescription medication you ever received - at the pharmacy, when you picked it up.

There are power dynamics at play here, to be fair. I’m not entirely interested in the conversation of whether or not “manipulated” is the right word, but I do think it’s fair to consider the ways in which someone who is rich, famous, and sexualized/glamourized in media has over someone who is only 23.

I literally do not care - the minute people who felt connected as fans of someone’s work starts haranguing (at best - the worst has been far more disgusting) the loved ones of the departed because they feel put out for not being top of mind?

It’s legitimately only confusing to see other sites put up articles first if you’re utterly bereft of empathy (or just downright refusing to apply it in this situation).

Hey, asshole, his comment wasn’t a place for you to “Um, actually” his fucking grief. Let them be.

I get what you’re saying (and I know you said you were done talking about it, so I understand if you don’t respond), but I Just want to offer this:

Maybe just tossing something short up felt horribly dismissive and disrespectful to their friend and colleague?

Or maybe they cared about their friend immensely and the idea of just tossing up his picture with nothing else felt deeply disrespectful to their entire history with that person.

Luke, on his twitter, says it better than I can (the whole thread is here, and I 10000% think people should read it, but here’s one tweet):

I know that if *I* was asked to stop and write something about the passing of my friend/colleague just days after it happened I would tell my boss to go fuck themselves.

Maybe it’s brutally painful for people who have worked alongside him for years to have to wrap their head around the death of their friend and colleague in order to pump out an article for a news cycle?

Except you aren’t buying a car.

Except that some people will absolutely connect better at their table if they have a digital 3d tabletop.

I 1000% agree that John Deere’s right to repair bullshit is anticompetitive. But that’s a different beast.

People consistently misunderstand this.

Well, it’s also important to note that, while the argument is similar, the context is also very different.

Yes it will.
