1,000This kind of depends on how you made your money. If you work an honest job, you've done all the good you need to in the process of making the money.
Utilitarian is fuzzy here... But I would say that since everyone has to at least spend some money selfishly to not go insane, this seems like pretty high EV per selfish dollar to me, in that I would assign it more probability to increase your capacity to do good. It at least has the potential to lead to connections, networking, insights, etc, that an ordinary festival probably wouldn't.
@TheAllMemeingEye Das stimmt! Aktuell lerne ich auf Duolingo Französisch für Niederländisch-Sprachige und lerne dabei mehr NL als FR (die umgekehrte Richtung wird leider nicht angeboten). 😃
Apropos "fertigmachen", mir selber sind spontan auch nur Bedeutung [1] und [3] eingefallen, also hab ich Deutsch offenbar auch noch nicht fertig gelernt. 😆
[1] umgangssprachlich, etwas fertigmachen: in einen fertigen Zustand bringen
[2] umgangssprachlich, jemanden fertigmachen: absichtlich stark physisch verletzen
[3] umgangssprachlich, jemanden fertigmachen: absichtlich stark psychisch verletzen
[4] umgangssprachlich, reflexiv: sich zurechtmachen für gesellschaftlichen Kontakt oder ausrüsten für eine bestimmte Tätigkeit
[5] umgangssprachlich, reflexiv: sich selbst negative Eigenschaften oder Schuld zuschreiben und sich damit selbst quälen
