AI is coming for our jobs! Could universal basic income be the solution?
  • Calling people assholes online makes you one as well. Get off the keyboard and make a difference. I’m a fucking communist working towards unionizing the company I work in. What the fuck are you doing? Calling people assholes online, yeah that’s how you change minds and have an impact.

  • Jeremy Allen White: ‘I Am Confused at How the Pinnacle of an Actor’s Career Has Ended Up’ at Superhero Movies
  • What a lame post. Linking to an article that talks about a GQ article. Did you read the source? If you did you’d find that he said that 1YEAR AGO. This is so close to misinformation. I suggest we all do more to read sources and scrutinize posts.

    Quote from the GQ article”
    “ White expressed scepticism towards superhero flicks. “I am confused at how the pinnacle of an actor’s career has ended up in that place,” he said last year, doing his best Martin Scorsese impression. That stance has softened slightly over the last 12 months. “They get really good filmmakers to do those movies and obviously they get really good actors to do those movies,” White says now, diplomatically. ”

  • Six things to know about the political debate around daylight saving time
  • Why couldn’t you say what the medical communities issue is in the post rather than leaving some cliff hanger and making me click into the article?

    Medical communities “issue”:

    But the medical community has taken issue with how the bill proposes to make the change — specifically, that it mandates all states adopt permanent daylight saving time rather than sticking to standard time

    Doctors and scientists argue that standard time is actually better for our health. Our internal clock is better aligned with getting light in the morning, which, in turn, sets us up for better sleep cycles.

  • In-ear headphones or over-ear headphones?
  • I have both in ear XM4 and over ear XM5s and I don’t like either. The xm4 is just too big and too heavy. It feels like it’s barely hanging onto my ear. I’ve tried using the for running or bike riding and they fall out. If you try to force them to stay in your ear it can wedge itself in too tight and get painful.

    The XM5s are too tight and they hurt right below my ear if I wear them too long. The anc is good but I had some Bose QC35s before and they were waaay more comfortable and worked just as good.

    I wish I had got the AirPods Pro and whatever new quiet comfort headphones Bose had now. Still thinking of switching.

  • Bobi, the world's oldest dog ever, dies aged 31
  • lol. The language you chose proves you’re a moron. I suspect that you know you’re actually a moron. That’s why my comment cut so deep. You can’t buy brain cells but you can read more. There’s still a chance for you little dunce :)

  • Bobi, the world's oldest dog ever, dies aged 31
  • Did you even read the article? There is good documentation. Man you keyboard ninjas need to spend less time in the dojo and more time in the library.

    Bobi's grand old age was validated by the Portuguese government's pet database, which is managed by the National Union of Veterinarians.

  • Bobi, the world's oldest dog ever, dies aged 31
  • Ah, the wonderful prevailing argument sweeping the internet the last few years: “that looks like something else, so it must be that. Let’s disregard sources and science. Everything must be what it looks like.”

  • Open source intelligence suggests rocket was launched by Palestinian group, backing up Israel's claims
  • Here’s a source explaining what happened since I guess no one taught you keyboard ninjas how to do actual research.

    Canon Richard Sewell, the dean of St George's College in Jerusalem, told the BBC that about 1,000 displaced people were sheltering in the courtyard when it was hit, and about 600 patients and staff were inside the building.

  • Today, I bike to school
  • There’s a study I posted below that says that bike lanes are just about always safer, didn’t really talk about sidewalk riding though. Where I live (not Florida) there’s a lot of blind driveways, so riding on the sidewalk can be dangerous for cars coming out of their driveway. (Second link describes that). Happy riding!

  • People Are Overly Obsessed With Climate Change And Do Not Care About Other Issues.
  • Who is the “they” you’re referring too? From the title I guess all people are too heated up over climate change for you? (See what I did there ;) I am absolutely a climate activist but I for sure have a chill mode. I’m not violent and all I do is try to educate my friends and family. If we don’t address climate change we will destroy the world that’s a fact, so to me it is THEE most important issue. (FYI- thee actually means you, it’s not a stronger form of the like you’re using it).

  • Ivan the Terrible and His Son Ivan on 16 November 1581 - Ilya Repin (1885)
  • Your comment really doesn’t paint an accurate picture. I don’t thin op is right, but I don’t think you’re totally correct either. The life expectancy in Russia increased after the Bolshevik revolution because it had been decimated by disease, and a civil war for the years before that. The increase in life expectancy had nothing to do with communists coming into power. It certainly had nothing to do with industrialization that didn’t really get going in Russia until 1930. It had everything to do with the end of the civil war and global medicine advancing.

    “Dire food shortages, hunger and famine were further exacerbated by the outbreak of several epidemics. Between 1918 to 1922 there were 2.5 million deaths as a result of the typhus epidemic...

    Population figures fell by 35 million and were estimated at 139 million in 1921, a direct result of the war, famine and epidemic diseases.”
