I appreciate everyone involved in this non-commercial endeavour. Thanks for all the unappreciated hard work you all put in.

Don’t worry, I’ll run a VM in Linux to keep them at bay!

Oh no my computer has 741 viruses which that ad helpfully pointed out, I better click to have them removed!

Danke!

Yeah I’m going to run VM because I do enjoy working via the terminal, and I quite like the “hands on” feeling of Linux. I think some of my woes are just due to the fact I’m using a SBC as my main computer.

Just being sensu beans with us. Worked for Goku!

Yes! Show them you won’t stand for it!

That’s exactly why many of us dislike cloudfare. They’ve maneuvered themselves into a “too big to fail” position. Seems to be the goal of big corps these days.

Nobody is talking about those people. Stay on topic.

Canada has Canadian Football.

Unless you’re on the other side of the world and unharmed and make a killing on resupplying the affected countries. Looking at you, MIC America.

At this point we should just rename the fediverse the federation. Everybody just posts Star Trek memes all day anyways.

I am five years old and I don’t understand anything you just said.

“That’s it, each of you go to the opposite end of the couch and NOT A WORD!”

Neat!

Okay so, there are a bunch of different agencies in charge of different types of social services. If you have UBI, those are no longer required. The money is coming from those programs. You spend LESS because you don’t have a giant work force on the back end of all those services/agencies anymore.

Eg. current: 20 departments, 100 people working at each. Gives out 1 million dollars a year in social services.

UBI: 1 department. Far less than the total of above working for it. Gives out 1 million dollars a year in social services.

See? The numbers are fluff just for the sake of the example.

Because it is so expensive to just live, people’s time is extremely limited. I don’t blame people that take care of their wants in that limited time off.

Like many people have already posted, if you didn’t spend all that mental (and physical) energy just scraping by, you will most likely have energy (and motivation) to take care of your health better.

That and it seems like everyone has depression or some sort of mental health ailment these days due to all the stresses that come with being poor.

No. It’s overwhelmingly a positive outcome.

Also, a fair bit of work is work for the sake of work. It doesn’t enrich society, just the capitalism machine. So if UBI were enacted on a large scale, there is plenty of unnecessary work that can go by the wayside.

You put sugar on your French toast?

So, people dying?
