i’m just gonna say it: your assumption that everybody should work is harmful. there’s lots of people who can’t work for medical reasons, but can’t get a doctor’s note either. for example, psychological syndromes are notoriously hard to diagnose.
you’d just create another point of social friction with your attitude.
that’s not really how people are, though. if people are happy, they generally see little reason to change something about their situation. everything else is delusional
i’m not sure why that is weird … aren’t they the same thing?
On top of that, you would pronounce 678 as six-hundred-seven-ty-eight in english … guess what it is in german:
Sechs-hundert-acht-und-sieb-zig (literally six-hundred-eight-and-seven-ty)
i’m actually trying to change this point specifically because it irks me … but i am sadly alone with it.
In german and english, the comma in numbers is swapped. So the number 123.45 in german would be written as 123,45 while ironically, the thing that we used to separate thousands from hundreds is also swapped. So one-thousand-four-hundred would be written as 1,400 in english but as 1.400 in german …
heh. tech nerd. i appreciate it.

especially, a lot of tech CEOs who supported trump are tech CEOs, and dropping the facebook / instagram / etc platforms would seriously hurt their budget.
Even better: i just saw this:
you can even download a personal copy of all the games on the entire archive! for those of us who make backups of things.
realistically, yes, at least in america. the reason is simple: it makes the economy go up. if people have more money to spend -> more consumption -> more revenue for companies -> more profit -> higher stock valuations. it’s very simple actually. it’s very much in the interest of the state and everyone in power to do exactly that.
rather than getting essential services
UBI says income, not money. resources and services provided to you would still be income.
i remember a while ago i read that the average wealth of a black person in (new york? or somewhere else?) was $8. fucking $8. it’s still running through my head. wtf
can confirm. same second. thanks!
there i fixed it for you (removed the stupid watermark):
nah i think that the storage requirement grows approximately linear with the number of users, and maybe in the worst case quadratically; but the typical case should be linear.
depends … what are you interested in? why do you want to learn things in the first place?
yeah you already said it in your edit, but just to respond anyways:
grub’s simplicity is a feature. it does one thing and does it well.
it would be cool if i (or any user) could just contribute a part of their storage space / network connection to the video platform. something like “i store this video (that i just watched) for a month sothat others can see it too”.
unfortunately, as i understand it, there’s both technical and legal hurdles.
i disagree. food prices would not go up. prices are set by supply and demand. demand would not change. imagine a society with 1 million people. all of them need to eat, whether they earn their money through wages or get it through UBI. the demand for food does not change. i don’t see a reason why supply would change either. so prices stay the same.
do you have any rational argument against this?
