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.

I am not sure what you mean.

I am taking a wild assumption of a guess by saying you probably mean where in the parts of lemmy where you can say what you want without criticism?

If so, good luck with that. There’s always going to be people who’ll take offense to what you say, have downvoting parades, bring up post histories and other shit. There is no single social media platform that can handle spicy unpopular opinions, even, without many people taking offense to it.

Women belong in the kitchen and are only good for making babies.

Or that’s what misogynists think.

More like, the internet will have you believe that women who plays video games either is:

A porn model that just uses video games as a guise.

Or

A male hiding under a female guise who plays video games.

Okay so you admit you’re not a lawyer but try being technical about something criminally-related while I have not stated that I was a lawyer and I based what I said off some research. Just so you can feel cute by adding a jab at the end of your little reply.

Yeah uh-huh, cute.

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.

I have joined MBin because I still miss KBin.

We don’t need technology for that when we’ve got the drugs that’ll do it more efficiently.

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.

Not stated in the body of the post which you could’ve clearly have done.

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.

Did you get something that is along the lines of Microsoft saying you can extend one year of support? Because I remember getting that before I reinstalled my windows, like it was backed to October 2026 or something.
