In my mind, a UBI would replace a lot of welfare and retirement programs and would absorb much of their budget. What would we need the whole food stamps system for if we guarantee everyone an income? What would we need social security for if you have your Universal Basic Income?

Since it’s universal, we can do away with all those systems we have to make sure you “deserve” it. We can eliminate entire data centers, close entire offices. Those people (mostly office worker accountant types) can go work in some other part of the government like school systems, the FDA, the FAA, something that actually helps make society go. That should free up some budget.

Do an actual goddamn audit of the Pentagon, if we find some bullshit pet projects we don’t actually need costing taxpayers billions of dollars we bust a general down to recruit and find or invent a way for him to die for his country.

Capitalism may not be able to survive alongside a UBI but I think a largely free market economy can. I’ll always have my housing and food needs bet but I’d like to have an Xbox so I’ll go get a job to get money to pay for one.

As far as I’ve seen the mods and admins have been doing a stellar job of removing it drom the platform.

Of the two I prefer Plasma. I strongly dislike Gnome. My absolute favorite DE is Cinnamon.

Dahmer is one of those who had prison groupies. As do the Columbine shooters, Harris and Klebold. Apparently there’s a certain kind of chick that gets lubed up for mass murderers.

Hold on, we have a check for outdated hardware for a mod of a 20 year old video game?

I have an old PCI TV tuner card. It predates the digital TV switchover so I have a card that can’t be plugged into modern motherboards for which no signals are broadcast. Plus I’m sure there are no 64-bit drivers ever made for the damn thing. At this point it’s ewaste.

Your version is better.

The monkey’s paw twitches. Pizza now tastes like cabbage.

they look delicious.

I’ve had my S10 since new. My 16th birthday present. Still perfectly roadworthy and ready for a day’s work.

Compact pickup trucks. I got one of the last S10s made and it’s older than the average Tiktokist.

A New Hope is pretty good.

Have a debloated new year!

They’re both correct.

Hook up the old super nintendo and start asking questions like “Hey did you ever play Lufia?”

There’s not a vendor out there I trust with an always on internet connected EKG on my wrist.

I mean LOOK at everyone in this thread. “Muh TerribleCo SlaveBuilt 4 is only a week old and they’ve stopped pushing updates and the battery doesn’t last the whole day anymore I have to charge it at lunch.”

“What’s it for?” “Text messages hit by brain 4 seconds faster.”

A problem I deftly sidestepped by avoiding “smart” watches altogether.
