Never fitting in, but pretending to
Not trying to deny your experience or anything like that, but a lot of people feel that way, especially around that age, are you sure it was because of your lack of citizenship? I know I have always felt like that, and I was born in Boston, Mayflower descendant too…
Not the point, I know.
I’m willing to bet when your grandparents came here, it was a lot less difficult to enter the country legally than it is now. Why do you think we put up so many legal obstacles?
Osama … no one wept for him being denied a fair trial.
I did… Not so much for him personally, but for the number of high ranking CIA and other officials that might have been exposed along the way…
Barbie … handler
I see what you did there…
Either that or “it’s pointless, like you with your pistol are going to stand up to drone strikes, can’t win, might as well lie down and die”
A lot of people have this misconception that rich people are “good with money”. They’re good at taking money from other people.
It’s ok once they’re born, god only loves fetuses.
I have a shirt with a QR code that goes to a Rick roll. It doesn’t work nearly as well as I’d hoped. Even people trying to scan it have a hard time, forget about anyone scanning it unknowingly. Mr. Astley did in fact let me down.
People can AI generate convincing CP images. Should those be allowed?
I don’t see why not, if nobody is being harmed in its creation. Just because something is disturbing doesn’t mean it needs to be illegal.
saying people should go kill a certain group.
Saying it doesn’t harm anyone, it’s the people doing it who cause harm, that seems pretty clear cut to me.
Not so much volume, but just the different options available. Example, if food is subsidized, then food vendors can increase prices to soak up the excess. But if people just get money, and food vendors try to soak it up, people can spend their money on building a greenhouse and growing their own vegetables. If every industry tries to raise prices, at some point it becomes worthwhile for people to do things themselves, then trade with each other, undercutting the larger industries. Basically, the libertarians’ wet dream could actually happen with UBI.
I think that’s a difference between subsidizing specific things vs subsidizing all the things.
And those who are content to sit at home or not work, is fine by me. Because I’ve worked with a lot of people over the years who only have a job because someone told them they needed a job. They were miserable fucking people to be around and we were more productive the days they called in sick or skipped. Some people should be paid to stay the fuck at home, and society would be a better place for it.
This needs repeating - so here I am repeating it. I’ve worked with those same people, hell I’ve been that person when I was working the only job I could find, absolutely didn’t want to be there, but needed the money so couldn’t afford to be taking the time to find where I did want to be.
do you believe capatilism can co-exist with UBI?
UBI might be the only thing that can save capitalism.
Eh, I’m talking about speech that isn’t the direct result of real harm being done. I think the distinction is pretty clear don’t you?
Maybe you don’t, but I do…
Still horrible for his family…
Pick up that can.
Until nobody can afford to own a car…
Some of us have been conditioned to hide our personalities all the time, until it becomes automatic… We can’t take off the mask even with effort…
Hell yes. Statistically, the world is safer than it has ever been. None of those things are new, we just hear about them more. Fear sells, and it seems you’re buying.
