The only danger I see in communism is that no matter how benevolent it starts, communism will always (eventually) become a dictatorship. If we could somehow take human greed out of the equation, communism could be really nice for everyone. As long as humans are in charge, communism will suck for nearly everyone.

The idea behind Universal Basic Income (UBI) is that everyone gets it. Rich, poor, and everyone in between. There is no criteria (other than maybe citizenship) that would prohibit getting the money. That helps to prevent what you are describing.

I'm sure someone will figure out a way to make it terrible in some way, but we have to implement it first and then deal with the hiccups.

I do.

The better question is this: How does trying to make Biden lose the primary in Michigan help the people in Gaza?

Right... Because there is another real choice in this race.

The orange con-man is even friendlier to Israel and would help to escalate this tragedy.

I don't like the choices either, but the one that isn't Biden is so much worse!

Okay, fine. Sure. Now impeach every single one of those cowardly mutherfuckers who voted against the border bill last week!

And Democrats! Stop standing so much on your principles and call these mutherfuckers out for this shit! Repeat it endlessly until it sinks into the public mindset!

On an episode of BBC's: Planet Earth I saw an eagle grab a small goat, carry it off a cliff, and dropped it. Effective to be sure and kind of clever for the bird, but terrifying to watch.

You only need a key to activate Windows. Windows 10 and later will install and run just fine without activation.

The difference for me is Reddit started treating it's loyal users like sellable assets. I loved Reddit, it was a comfort zone for a long time, but they betrayed my trust, so I left and I have no intention of returning.

I doesn't matter if Reddit is really dead or not. They are dead to me.

Not to worry. Before it explodes, our sun will expand into a red giant much larger than the orbit of the Earth.
No one on Earth will be around to witness the explosion. So we have that going for us, which is nice.

I've got fifty cents that says this dude watches an extraordinary amount of gay porn and somehow he thinks that is shameful. It isn't, but he thinks it is.

If you have a vacuum bag sealer, you could make some custom bags that hold two eggs or more, crack the eggs into the bag (a wide-mouth funnel helps), vacuum out most of the air and seal them. Lay them flat during the initial freeze and they will store great!

I use it to control some of the lights in my house. WiFi enabled plugs and switches are more convenient than having to go to each one and manually reprogram them. In my bedroom, I have one set to turn on every day at 7am and again at 9am in case I turn it off and go back to bed. It's basically a silent alarm clock.

I also have WiFi control for the mini-split (AC and heat) in my workshop. I can view the set temperature vs the actual temperature from my phone and I can adjust the temperature remotely if I want.

Those red hats do seem to have a "mark of the beast" flair to them. They aren't the permanent mark indicated in Revelation 13:16, but I think if you wear it every day it may as well be.

I'm not a Christian, but his followers certainly are. I wonder how they don't see it?

American citizens who reside in one state are not the property of that state and cannot be prohibited from traveling to other states. Case closed.

I would expect that the wheel shaft has a flange or maybe some knurling on it to prevent it from coming loose. You will probably need to drill it out. I wish you the best of luck on your journey, you will learn a lot about how things are made. I also expect that this will end with you buying a new castor or a new suitcase.

The main character is an unemployed mathematician with schizoid personality disorder whose social interactions are mostly with his old professor and the people in his apartment building. The movie is a thriller, but the main character's isolation from the rest of the world is rather stark. This is helped by the fact that it was filmed in high-contrast black and white.

You can be sure that even the Epic version will still require the Ubisoft launcher. That is how all of my Steam purchased Ubisoft games are with the exception of the first Assassin's Creed which predated the Ubisoft launcher. All of the others require it regardless of how I bought it.

I'm going to wait for at least two or more years after release for the new Prince of Persia. My days of paying full price for Ubisoft's games are over and recent statements from the CEO make me reluctant to ever buy their games again.

I had a cat who did this. I loved it and was a bit disappointed when he stopped a few weeks later.

You said he is young. He will likely calm down as he gets older.

If the crying really bothers you, pick up the bowl as soon as he stops eating and don't put it down again until the next meal. Then there will be fewer clues when it is time for food. He will still know, but it will require more effort on his part.

So that's what that guy's name is! Never knew before. Thanks!

Still don't really know who he is. Also don't care.

I'm rather fond of Murphy's burst-fire pistol and hide-away leg holster in Robocop. If we are talking the coolest gun, it's got to be the Zorg ZF-1 from the Fifth Element.
