UBI is a safety net for people that lose their jobs/can't work. What are people supposed to do if no one is hiring? What are people supposed to do when companies lay off their workforce so shareholders can make more profits at the end of the year?

Besides, UBI is the bare minimum to keep a person alive. No one is buying their fifth yacht with UBI money (usually that comes from corporate welfare money).

Portrait of God and Other Side of the Box are both excellent!

And who is going to pay for that new vehicle?

America is threatening to take away 100% of Canada's independence. Joining the EU would be in Canada's best interest, although I don't think it will happen (hope I'm wrong though).

Blocked, troll.

Right after 9/11, almost every house in Canada had American flags up in their windows. Newspapers were even printing full page flags for people to use. That's how much Canadians cared about Americans.

How do you fuck up so badly that you have Canadians throwing American flags in the trash?

Hope this helps.

Russia is a murderous, authoritarian regime that illegally invaded Ukraine. Thank God Ukraine has a real man to stand up for it instead of a capitulating coward that wants to roll over for any fascist dog that comes barking.

Tuesdays are the worst. With Monday, you at least have the weekend's rest behind you. With Wednesday you're at least halfway through the week. With Tuesday you've got nothing.

Although if "Tits Out Tuesdays" was widely accepted I admit that I would change my tune!

There is at least one NSFW instance people could join if they wanted that content.

I've met some of these Canadians. They're conservatives who think Canada is a liberal hellscape and that being annexed by the USA would be a good thing.

I played Chaos Gate when it came out. It was entertaining and passed them time until I could play 40k with my dad.

I feel like I'm going to fall into one of the Myst ages looking at that book.

AI is generally bad because it tends to steal content from human creators and is largely being pushed because corporations want another excuse to throw more workers on the street in favor of machines (while simultaneously raising their prices).

There are some AI uses that are good though, such as AI voice generation to help those that can't speak to communicate with the world and not sound like a robot.

Well, not all LLMs are created equal. Some are decent, some are slop, some are nightmare machines

I don't know about sulphur, but sodium is highly reactive with water

Seriously. There are also people on Lemmy that think anyone who has sympathy for civilians also support terrorists.

How absolutely fucking brain-dead do you have to be to not understand that killing civilians is wrong? You can hate the rulers of Israel, Hamas, and Hezbollah while simultaneously hoping that Israeli, Palestinian, and Lebanese civilians don't get hurt.

This isn't rocket science.

I'm weird. I cut the skin off, eat the flesh, then eat the skin. There's just a different texture between the two and I like to experience them individually.
