The issue is that, UBI is a contested subject. It is the answer to what’s happening with automation.

And nobody is touching it but lets continue giving these few people all the money in the world and little leftover for everyone to fight over.

That is so right up there with some of the scummiest things CEOs have ever said.

The Heinz CEO tells us to “get used to it” about inflation.

And then Nestle over there, saying about how water is not a human right.

These rich fuckheads totally operate on a different world than our own.

Information is about as rapid as money exchanges. There’s so much going around because News is 24/7 and there’s so many outlets that it will burn out anyone’s minds trying to follow it all. It was like with the Hong Kong protests, it got traction for a while, then something else happened and it was dropped within weeks.

And we have all of these wikis in existence where the legitimacy of the articles written, are constantly challenged through the edits of those that believe differently in how it should be written to the reliable sources conflicting with those beliefs.

And we have generations of people who do not remember the time of certain events as they’ve happened where previous generations did. So it can be harder for someone who wasn’t born around the time of Pearl Harbor and WWII to relate and take in information as opposed to the one who actually lived it.

Then we take into account of instances of history being re-written by revisionists, some sections of history is white-washed, censored, redacted .etc

Top it all off with how incredulous and sensationalist projections the media reports that just shits all over it.

And we have ourselves one big, informational train-wreck where almost nobody knows what to believe. So what most people do anymore is if a news report aligns with their beliefs, they’re going to take it at face value.

She’s too doll-like.

Fuck off, Saudi.

America is really bizarro world compared to other countries and how they handle things like this.

It just seems like in America, you can fail upwards, con people and still get out filthy rich.

And in order to be forgiven within our online frathouse, we demand that you post several unfunny and recycled memes. We also require it that you join in comment chains to continue a series of unfunny, repetitive jokes that stopped being funny a decade ago. And lastly, we would appreciate it if you never uttered a single word that would displease our hivemind should we report you to our lord and savior, u/Spez.

“And because that my karma points are incredibly higher than yours will ever be, my words are like gold and yours is like dirt. I know exactly what I speak of and know everything of Linux on the back of my hand and in my sleep. Moderator, please displace the trash that has decided to speaketh within our vicinity as I make a fabricated report that you are just a filthy little ban-evader despite having only encountered you for the first time ever”

Hell, Lemmy can be this way too or some other instance somewhere else in the fediverse. It is almost inescapable.

I will and it’ll be better than yours.

What do you mean there are no such things as farmer’s markets?

What do you mean there are no such things as other grocery chains that isn’t Wal-Mart, Kroger .etc?

Now I know there are maybe some small towns with a Dollar General or a Dollar Tree in them, but that is discrediting the fact that there are still alternatives here and there. Don’t pretend they don’t exist.

Besides, why the fuck would anyone want to live in the smack of no where? Haven, Kansas is one of those places, don’t be surprised.

Yes it partially is and I’m so sick of people denying that fact. Nobody ever has put a gun to your head and demanded you go to McDonalds and order a bunch of things from the menu.

You live alone, in your home, with all of this food. Who is the one constantly decided to eat it at their own discretion? YOU! Nobody else! YOU!

Stop detouring accountability and responsibility.

And I know what you’re going to bring up next because I’ve heard it before “BUT BUT THE SUGAR! THE ADDITIVES! THE ADDICTION!” blah blah. Sure, those are a factor but it isn’t like the food themselves have the same kind of chemicals you’d find in things like drugs, cigarettes and alcohol. Those are two huge differences.

But okay whatever, keep blindly blaming the food for how you got 400 pounds one day after the next. Keep believing that half-ass narrative.

This is absolutely nothing new. This just feels like the hundredth lecture.

At one point, I did care but right now, I kind of don’t. Because people are largely going to gravitate themselves to whatever tastes good to them. It is just, they need to stop suing food companies and fast food joints for the reason that they’ve gotten fat when it was their lack of self-discipline and self-control that got them there.

When, they’ve had access to this kind of information for well over 30+ years. No excuses now.

Why do I feel like people bring these posts up so they can feel better about themselves by downvoting anyone who disagrees? Hm…

That’s fine. That’ll just mean I’m a airborne disease since my invisibility would be infinite.

Invisibility.

A lot of horror movie franchises would get retcon or some installments would outright be axed.

Friday the 13th would not need to go on for 10 movies. Get rid of Parts 9, 3, 5, X and 8. This is now going to be a compressed, coherent movie series of 5 movies where we attempt to establish a better comprehensible story involving Jason. Kane Hodder is the staple actor of Jason.

Nightmare on Elm Street, going to cut out Parts 6, 5, 2, and 4. Compress and re-write the story while retaining elements of selected pieces to build off from. The remake will not have ever happened. Freddy vs Jason would still happen but it would be involving the original creators of both Nightmare on Elm St and Friday the 13th and Kane Hodder will star as Jason. No cop out ending like the original version got, but the victor would not only be decided by final battle but also body count.

Halloween, take out 3, 4, H20, 2, 5, Resurrection and all of the Rob Zombie directed ones. Retcon.

Scream, that movie series feels more like a trilogy movie so that’s what it is going to be instead of all of these unnecessary installments.

Final Destination, same thing.

Saw, same thing as I felt the series ended beautifully with three movies but went entirely off the rails in later installments.

Puppet Master, I would honestly keep to 5, get rid of all of the ones where they focused too much on the Nazi stuff and the clash they had with Demonic Toys.

Leprechaun, just get rid of the ones where he entangles with the Hood and obviously the space one and max the series out at 2 films.

Hellraiser, keep it to two movies.

I don’t get the appeal, really. It’s just a lego-looking ripoff where the arms are fucking huge and everything. The things that get chosen to be popular, says a lot about people’s collective tastes sometimes.

It was a dumb idea from the beginning, trying to be an electronics pawn shop. Only the trade-ins are just as worthless as the game ones were.

For a large part, yes. It’s just fuel to the fires of pointless arguments.

I’m sure development studios and individuals have a sense of pride and accomplishment in receiving any award for their work. But, even then, there’s going to be volumes of people who’re going to always feel like their favorites were snuffed for reasons not known to us and it just makes more arguments than actual discussions.

You mean, argue about them? Because I don’t see a lot of good conversations regarding some video games unless it is a hivemind or a circlejerk. It must be on some universally agreed upon ruling before engaging some video game discussions, if not, then bickering or pelting virtual stones at the different thinker with opinions that goes against said hivemind.
