There is a book advocating for UBI, which detailed studies showing it is actually easier and cost effective to just give homeless people unconditional cash grants. Contrary to expectations, 9/10 homeless folks cleaned themselves and looked for accommodation.

A monied entity who likes to steal of one's labour. Shocking.

The account in question is three weeks old and already has 728 comments.

Totally not a bot.

I think the issue is that if you had injuries at younger age, those injuries become inflamed again as you become older. There are athletes who said their injuries become inflamed again when they hit 30's. There are also soldiers who passed away after their old wounds became a problem again at old age. The body just can't keep up repairing itself anymore.

However, old injuries isn't just the only explanation. If one have hardly been sporty or did labour intensive jobs at younger age and feeling pain on the knees, it could be genetics. If not, then it is something entirely within the person's control: overweight. I have friends who gained weight tremendously over the years even though we are only in our early 30's. One of my friends could hardly walk for long at a pretty short distance. I reckon it is because they work from home and don't do any exercise (some of them became too jaded and insecure over the years to go to gym), while I and my other friend work on-site so we have more physically demanding jobs and we still do exercise.

It wasn't that long ago. The survey was conducted 3-5 years ago iirc.

I remember a survey done years ago that people say 30s and 40s are the best years of their lives.

The Ford F-150 Lightning overtook it with 7,913 registrations

It is ironic that it is the original American swasti-car who took over this generation's swasti-car.

This comment is the thread killer.

This is like asking what is the best or favourite South Park episode. I can't think of a favourite studio Ghibli movie. But for me, probably the closest to my number 1 spot is "When Marnie was there." I am not sure why, but the movie pulls a heart string for me and it feels more personal. Speaking of the movie, I can't believe that the movie is 10 years old this year! I remember watching it for the first time in my local independent theatre!

Unsurprising. Iirc, a British official revealed that any Britiah politicians and government officials stationed in Russia are briefed to never ever sleep with prostitutes, because Russians are great at blackmail. I don't remember if this was during the Cold War or this is still a warning even after.

And the right won that war

I assume you are from the US. It may be the case in your country, but it is not necessarily that the right as a whole won the war, considering that other parts of the world still have leftist and liberal politicians ruling. As a matter of fact, they have gotten more popular as Trump's brazen corruption and incompetence is setting example why not to elect populist right wing politicians.

For what it's worth, if nothing existentially happens that would stop US from becoming a nation anymore like a civil war, politics typically swing back like a pendulum. Even at the extreme, politics could dramatically swing back to normalcy and empathy. We have had countries that were under dictatorship, but are now democratic like Spain and Portugal. Because the problem with dictatorships is that they become too corrupt and reality eventually catches up to those who were swooned by initial sweet promises of demagoguery.

Of course, what I just said now may not be reassuring to you because I am speaking from a place of relative safety, so you can take it or leave it.

I approve of any leftist as long as they are anti-authoritarian.

so that it appears leftists are always fighting since they are all lumped into the same category.

I always say it is because the left in general has its roots in old school liberal value of "think for yourself". So there typically tends to be maverick attitude and in-fighting. The best example is the Spanish Republicans during the Spanish Civil War; you have soc dems, communists and anarchists fighting together not just against fascists, but also themselves. The right, meanwhile value order and hierarchy, so they tend to easily set aside their differences. Again, the Spanish Civil War is the best example, with the Spanish Nationalists also composed of various factions with competing agenda, but managed to set aside their differences, which made it easier to do because they had a strong man figure to rally to.

But even so, Netflix still retain good sound quality compared to alternative sources.

I definitely look at the file size first. Although, as you already alluded to, sometimes it gets cheated with the resolution being cropped to either the top or side. And a major issue with downloading large file sizes is if you are unlucky enough that there aren't many seeders.

The only limitation on sailing the high seas is that the video and sound quality are not as great as legit streaming. You get descriptions that claim it is ripped full 4k or HD, but when actually looking at the encoding, it is not the case. But what can we do? If we are being made to stream in shit, it is better to sail in blue ocean high seas.

I don't disagree. Economic predicament is also exploited by capital owners to exploit workers no matter the race and ethnicity.

The people of Worcester, Massachusetts prove that the powers-that-be should not be feared.

AOC reminding Americans how to be brave. Penny auctions were a thing, which implied Americans used to be able to stand up to corrupt oligarchs and monied interests. Where is that solidarity and sentiment now? Do Americans need to be poor again altogether in order to rise up?
