Look guy, your initial post was about how people sat around watching Netflix during Covid and how that's terrible for you and unproductive. First off, a heck of a lot of those thin…

You are of course right, and it is sad to see that the idea of "building consensus," now has to be explained in a long 4 paragraph post when it used to be just a normal way of doin…

>Which requires someone else to work to pay for those things. I don't believe other people should pay my mortgage and bills. Those are my responsibility. Then you've made the choic…

The article said 3/4 of people kept working, a significant portion of the 1/4 went back to school, and a hell of a a lot of people are in this comment section saying they would nev…

The main drawback to binging Netflix isn't anything silly like a lack of production...it's the lack of activity. That's what makes people sick.

>Sure there are. But unfortunately I have a mortgage and bills that need paying. Hence the UBI. >In theory yes, in reality no. One will exacerbates the other. Big big big assumptio…

making the rich richer in the name of wealth creation? What will we consume without that?

Life is the gift, work is just a game.

Sounds like you have a substance abuse problem and you're afraid that others will make the same mistake you did. Saying that people's lives are better because they benefit society …

do you have some kind of evidence that enacting a ubi, which comes with absolutely no condition of "not working," will stop a majority of people from taking paid work and making mo…

...pay them to do it? gp said "plumbing" not "the worst jobs we couldn't get people to do for free."

no, its better to complain that people don't want to work anymore. I wonder what all these "hackers" tradespersons relatives thought of them in 1999. Probably that they were useles…

that's the attitude. "You need to work, even if it's at McDonalds!" "You can't ask other people to carry your weight!"

this doesn't sound like a ubi problem to me. For one, during Covid, most people were encouraged, if not required by law, to limit their interactions, and some were literally not al…

those labour markets are in shambles atm for most people who aren't upper middle class

is "kept working" the point of ubi? is that how were measuring its success?

presumably people who don't like volunteering and arting, and do like working with their hands on concrete problems that directly affect peoples lives

no duh

This is due to the high concentration of tannin in the tea. It causes stomach problems if you dont have protein in your belly already.

This is the way. Why give yourself the temptation when one slip-up can ruin the whole thing for yourself?

I'll echo that addiction feeling! It's amazing to me, how when I ignore the "it's time to eat" feeling (which isn't easy to do!) it suddenly starts to get weaker and even goes away…

Some people DO keep it off. Ive never been obese but ive been overweight, extremely unhealthy, pre diabetic, couch-potato for years at a time. For me, it's always a matter of getti…

that's one thing I miss about the old internet. Not every piece of info was a "meme." Some were literally just ideas. Not everything is a freaking meme!!!!
