I would argue that you’re dancing wrong if it doesn’t scratch that itch to move to music. I don’t understand how everyone else does it. I just don’t feel it.

I have no interest in this game, so I wouldn’t know how it actually affects gameplay. But do you not agree that this is shitty business practice? You have a game. Sell the game. If you want microtransactions, then produce extra art or something and sell that. You can even make the case that separating out parts of the game into various DLCs on launch is acceptable. You’re at least charging for something of value that you created.

Implementing anti-cheat costs resources and makes the end result strictly worse. Now you want people to pay you to undo that? That’s creating negative value. We want the economy to run on people creating positive value.

I think a more apt comparison is if you’re renting out a place where every light switch is three-way with one switch near the light it controls and another in a closet with all the other light switches. You can control the ones in the closet for free, but the ones in a reasonable location are pay-per-use. The problem isn’t that the features aren’t available for free. It’s that they poured resources into deliberately making things worse, then they charge you to undo that. Literally creating negative value.

The way I see it, mandatory voting is to ensure that everyone is capable of voting. It prevents problems like employers not giving people appropriate time off for voting. The trade off is of course that you’ll have people voting more or less at random, or just going with whatever candidates their tribe is voting for without thinking. I suspect the latter averages out to a much smaller effect.

What do you mean that you should do it one leg at a time? The end result is the same.

I searched through Lemmy posts with that word. Half of them have people asking the exact same question, and based on the answers, I’m going to conclude that no one knows.

One guess that seems plausible is that it’s an AI hallucinated word that’s showing up a lot because they’re using AI to generate the captions.

You seem to be trying to solve a different problem. People who are working full time should be able to get all the necessities. It’s definitely a problem that they don’t. But if you believe that everyone should be able to feed/house/clothe themselves, including people who don’t have stable incomes (e.g. are in between jobs, busy caring for disabled folks, are disabled themselves, or going all in on building a bootstrapped business), then we need a system that doesn’t require you to have money in the first place to get the benefits.

How does this suddenly make $110k jobs available to switch to?

I don’t think it does. Did I say something that implied this?

Plenty of arguments given here for why it’s unlikely to happen, but I’d like to provide a slightly different perspective of how I think UBI would ideally be implemented.

I think UBI should come with abolishment of minimum wage and a uniform decrease in everyone’s income from work (e.g. if UBI is 1k per month, then reduce everyone’s income by approximately 1k/month), so there wouldn’t be an obvious overall increase in everyone’s income. Workers now have more leverage to negotiate wages because they don’t need to worry about dying if they lose their job, and that should push up their wages to wherever is appropriate for their line of work. So overall, it’ll probably lead to a bit of inflation, but through the the same mechanism that inflation has always occurred rather than telling your landlords that everyone has an extra 1k for you to take now.

Does this make sense? Good or bad idea? Discuss.

My non-deaf and non-mute baby also does hand babbling and will sometimes try to mimic us when we sign. Normal baby behaviour.

Someone shared a different version that doesn’t have those newer stuff. That might’ve been the original.

I envy all of you who have uncommon last names.

I don’t own chickens, nor do I plan to in the future, but I’ll subscribe anyway to see updates on how your chickens are doing and for all the egg photos.
