Albanese is superior to every gummy brand.

In general, recipients of UBI end up in better employment positions than they had before receiving UBI. That means they pay more in taxes and contribute more to society. They also are in better health, which means those that were truly poor and on medicaid before, are no longer costing society as much in medical costs.

But keep licking that boot.

You know why governments exist? Like, at their core? To take care of the fucking people living under them. It's why village A stopped attacking village B, cuz they realized that, if they pooled their resources, they could defend against the fucking leopards and bears better. So yes, your taxes would go up. But you know what? Unless you're actually rich, and not even like net worth of 3 million dollars or something, that ain't even rich, but unless you're RICH rich, you'll get more throught that "handout" than you would pay in taxes. And the fact that it'd be funded through your taxes means it's not even a handout to begin with! It's a government SERVICE. The thing that made banding together in groups of more than a dozen people sound like a good idea in the first place.

Now, as for your point of having a lot of money not obligating you to support bums... well, first. Fuck you. You're an asshole. And second, 50% of homeless people in the US are former foster kids that aged out of the system and have no support network. So I guess just fuck them, they get to die on the streets, right? Bad luck to not be born with wealthy parents. And historically, having a lot of money DID mean you had an obligation to support these so called "bums". From the '40s to 1963, the top tax rates were ~90%. On the ultra wealthy. The Rockefellers and whatnots. Now it's what? I dunno, 30%? That is, if you don't use creative accounting and just make it .01%, which we all know is the typical practice. It's not a handout, it's making these rich beyond rich fucking assholes pay their fair share. But you can keep licking that boot, because, sure. Someday, YOU'LL make it. And when you have more money than you can possibly use in your great grandchildren's lifetimes, it'll be really important to you to keep some just turned 18 year old kid, who bounced around the foster system his whole life, and has no support system at all, out of housing. Good for you.

You know, you'd get it too. The population is the beneficiary. The subsidizer would be people like Musk and Dorsey. by taxing them.

Slay the Spire - a roguelike deckbuilder is a lot of fun.

I haven't actually tried it, but Balatro has made a lot of waves recently and I imagine you could play that with only mouse.

Also, what kind of mouse are you using? If you're still on a no thumb buttons mouse, you should definitely upgrade. If you only have 2 thumb buttons, as is most common, I'd recommend looking at something with more. My mouse has 3 thumb buttons, and two extra index finger buttons.

old gospel/soul and it's dope as hell.

Christian or not, Creed does not slap.

To be replaced by "Harold Whiteman", a dapper man of Nordic ancestry, who helped white slaves escape from white slavery with the help of the friendly neighborhood watch organization, the KKK!

I don't speak Spanish, but based on the absolutely tiny bit I do know, would this mean quesadillas would become "little cheesies"?

As far as I can tell, the subtitle on the tv says "regarding magical shit". Seems apt.

That's amazing! I've got the same combination on my luggage!

I know the one you linked is the real one, but I really prefer the altered panel

The article doesn't mention his party, but yes, he was a republican.

With Namor in this, we could get a "Doom toots as he pleases!" scene

Flattened cardboard box? Just replace it now and again as it gets shredded.

Not only that, but when Marvel offered Sony the rest of the catalog, it was absurdly cheap. Something like, give us an extra 20 bucks (slight exaggeration) and you can have ALL our characters, and Sony was still like, nahh, just Spidey, thanks.

Along similar lines, you can cancel an uber/lyft for free within 2 minutes of booking. If you book one and get a Tesla, you can cancel real quick and try again. Maybe wait a min or two to rebook to increase odds of different driver.

Ok? I never said she committed no crime. In fact, I specifically did say it was a trafficking case. And she served 2 1/2 years in prison for it, thereby paying her debt to society. So what's your point?

I didn't say you were a right wing nutjob, I said that making such ridiculous leaps in logic make you sound like one. I agree, this is Lemmy, so the chances of you actually being full right wing are pretty slim. Though seeing the term "Marijuana-related charges" and being like, well, it could be simple possession, or they could've beaten someone half to death for smoking their weed is the type of leap that nutjobs make.

I am simply making a point that we don't know what the "marijuana-related charge" is.

If you really wanted to know more about the charges, you could've googled for 2 seconds and found the same article I did. Instead you just put out into the world that, well, maybe she beat someone half to death. Again, that's battery.

I am simply making a point that we don't know what the "marijuana-related charge" is.

Is basically the same line of thinking conspiracy theorists use when they say something ridiculous and then say they're "just asking questions." Especially if you're using that line as a defense against pushback when you suggest that those marijuana related charges may have involved violence.

I'm not saying all this to attack you. I'm saying it so that next time you come across an article that you feel lacks some critical information, maybe you'll look into it further rather than just suggest that the person said article is about is actually some sort of monster.

There's a whole community for this garbage at feddit.org/c/nicole

I recommend you all post this crap there instead of in memes. This isn't a meme. It's spam. And I don't really need to see it more than I already get in my DMs.
