maga neighbour came over and lost morale
  • Before now, these programs didn't get cut because of the checks and balances of our government. They probably think this presidency will be like the 45th. Those protections are gone and a lot of people are going to suffer and die because of it.

  • Corporations are not your Friends: A Story in Two Parts
  • I can't wait until computers and compression algorithms advance to the point where YouTube competitors become commercially viable!

    Just kidding, YT will probably just blackmail their content creators into only posting on their platform and nowhere else to maintain their monopoly.

  • Give disabled people who are unable to work a survivable wage
  • The only issue I have with that last suggestion is that contracts can blur the line between being employed at a company and not. For example, obviously a contract employee should be subject to the same level of minimum wage, but what about if a company hires another company? What stops some big tech company from just getting all of their janitors from a contract with a janitorial company that doesn't have to pay their people nearly as much? I think that windfall taxes on the 0.1% and a big UBI are the way forward.

  • Give disabled people who are unable to work a survivable wage
  • Even if a universal basic income makes things more expensive, it will make things more expensive by less than the amount that average people will benefit from it. It also reduces economic inequality.

  • We might be living the final moments of not being terrified what the US President is going to do
  • I really hope Orange Hitler doesn't have a heart attack and die in the next 4 years because Vance is a competent evil, but OH is only concerned with his own enrichment and will hopefully only do the bare minimum to keep his party happy while spending all day golfing like he did last time.

  • Texas teen suffering miscarriage dies days after baby shower due to abortion ban as mom begs doctors to ‘do something’
  • All the people involved in MURDERING this poor girl (in order of degrees of separation):

    • The Texan legislators that banned abortion
    • The supreme court justices that overturned Roe v Wade
    • Donald Trump, for packing the supreme court and enabling them to overturn Roe v Wade
    • Every American voter who knew exactly what they were voting for
  • Typing monkey would be unable to produce 'Hamlet' within the lifetime of the universe, study finds
  • I think the implications behind there being infinite time in the past are fun if you assume that the universe works like a stochastic state machine. It means that either every finite event that has happened and will happen has already happened an infinite number of times or the universe is infinitely large.

  • Microsoft has a big Windows 10 problem, and only one year to solve it
  • Sure, but it's not impossible to play any Blizzard games because the launcher login page is broken like it is on Linux. Blaming the game will only get you so far when so many games just don't work and devs don't care.
