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’m a Half-Life/Portal kind of player.

I couldn’t get into Team Fortress 2, Counter-Strike and Left 4 Dead. Those games seemed to require sharp attention spans of which I don’t have for.

You could’ve constructed, I don’t know, a better thought-out opinion. What are you, 15?

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.

That doesn’t make any sense to me.

Lets waste so much manpower, hours of labor, years of development and vice versa so that we can potentially taint the goodwill of fans by taking loss after loss and relying on them buying games they’ll never play on Steam.

Consoles are a bit more careful than this.

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

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.

No. Supporting the other comments, the most you can do is reschedule them over and over. So you’re wasting time just pushing back the dates but you will forget one day and they’ll happen when you least expect it.

There is no way to turn them off and that is intent by design. Because Microsoft feels that the user needs their hand held anymore in making decisions based on a new computer they spent hundreds of dollars on, on top of whatever licenses they bothered spending more money on just so they can tell you when you will update. There is no choice, no option. You WILL do it and like it. Because Microsoft.

Most of the annoying updates I’ve found have been for .NET. Fuck .NET.

That’s fine. That’ll just mean I’m a airborne disease since my invisibility would be infinite.

Gaia Online.

It’s been around since 2003 and it still clings on to its early roots of the internet but with awful modern internet decisions.

Baseball. Try to have a MVP and decorated career, retire, still be involved with the game as a manager, retire from managing, slip into ambassador roles.
