“Look at this cool thing I found!” It can just be nice to share stuff with other people. There doesn’t need to be a deeper reason, it’s a function of humans being social animals.
This includes motivations such as wanting to discuss the thing with other people, to compare your own view with theirs, or simply to satisfy the need to yell at someone.
Edit: typo
“I know how to make myself do the thing I planned to do.”
Ah, good point. Still something OP can find out by experimenting a bit and adjusting the amount where needed.
Any effect should be immediately obvious, shouldn’t it? If your clothes are still dirty after washing, that’s something you can see/smell/feel. Anything else that your average detergent claims to do is luxury.
that only
the policepeople with extensive, proper training and proper psychological support and a demonstrated need to carry guns should be armed
I know Matt primarily from tumblr and the absolute bullshit he’s pulling over there so I’m biased. Thank you for that clarification :)
Which one is that, I get confused because I use neither and the technicalities scare me: the one owned by known fucking weirdo (and CEO!) photomatt or the other, underdog one?
If the former: that’s some bullshit, goddammit.
If the latter: haha, so quirky!
I also thought until just now that the other headline I saw about this actually was an onion.
Because claps are the only currency accepted on the secret market where medical workers buy their groceries.
“Let’s see one upvoted opinion in favour of killing this healthy cat. Echo chamber!”
What about society exactly do I not understand?
a lot of people will sit on their ass all day and take advantage of it
And they’d be entitled to just that. That’s the point: nobody being forced to work just to survive. You don’t understand the concept.
True, I just wanted to phrase it in the terms of capitalism.
At first, maybe. But that’s the neat thing about capitalism and the free market: the first to lower their prices again has a huge advantage. There’s always an incentive to operate at minimal profit.
Why wouldn’t UBI and capitalism be able to coexist? It makes MORE capitalism possible, as it were, expanding its principles of supply and demand to fields such as employment. Right now, people need a job, any job, and if there’s no job that fulfills your needs, tough - you take the shitty one and you’ll like it. With a UBI, you could shop around for the perfect job, choosing the best offer, or not “buy” at all right now because the market doesn’t offer what you want and it’s not like you’re going to starve without a job. Employers would be forced to make YOU an offer that YOU can accept and if they can’t operate under these circumstance, tough. Capitalism in a nutshell, really.
Everyone knows the best memes are those prepared in advance and committee-designed to be memes.
The infamous Handy that I’m typing this on.
If I didn’t think it was funny myself, why would I tell it to anyone?
Or video games using noises that sound exactly like the fire alarm in my building.
The usual, really. Get a nice buzz going on coke and rum, draw, build whatever’s behind door 24 in the Bluebrixx Star Trek advent calendar, make the husband watch Richard II and Hamlet (maybe even Much Ado About Nothing) with me, rewatch Severance season 1, watch a bunch of bad movies. Mostly watch stuff, basically.
