Chasing keyboard dollars instead of my dreams. I'm just here to say profound things and learn about the world. Looking for software work in PDX.

3. Assuming UBI has any negative impact on the value of the dollar, the fall in financial mobility you have from constantly, let's say "messing up" and losing your benefit every month would be greatly devastating. This wouldn't be a new group of people though, this would be the same homeless people we see today.

I read a few years ago that there's more history happening than historians can keep up with. Scary thoughts

Well for instance, I only use Twitter for news/activism. it's not aligned for anything else

Seems reasonable

I think news takes more of a front seat these days. Lots of history in the making.

The left has abandoned the pursuit of equality (equality of opportunity) for the pursuit of equity (equality of outcome), but now the left is changing the definition of "equality" to mean the definition of equity. It's an Orwellian game of doublespeak and they're good at it.

Don't forget the DMs of all these accounts. That could be very valuable information.

Was thinking about a dating app where you only get to reveal a few photos/ability to message after answering a short multiple choice quiz managed by the user. The questions can be arbitrary but the point is that the pursued gets to control which pursuer can get to their profile via question navigation. This could help throw off unwanted pursuers.

I'll admit I don't know anything about Gab, but I'm not picking up "nazi/white supremacist site" from their storefront.

https://gab.com/

Regardless, it's embarrassing how careless the political-left, whatever you want to call them, carelessly use the terms nazi, racist, white supremacist, etc.

You mean calling all conservatives and Republicans racists, Nazis and fascists doesn't make sense?

Literally nobody is trying to stop the protesters. Literally nobody. I can't find anyone who doesn't agree that George was murdered. Hell, I have old seemingly racist family members who agree with that. It's the arsonist, rioters and murderers who are empowered by this new Anarchy Trojan Horse that we're trying to stop, and we will succeed. If you can't see that difference then you'll be blind during this insurrection.

I couldn't imagine someone being against a police Union and also supporting civilian unions. They serve the same purpose. I also can't imagine a sane person thinking we don't need the police, unless you're also supporting a highly armed population (which, I am.)

> With great power comes great responsibility, so the saying goes.

So you acknowledge that it's difficult, terrifying, unpopular and requires great reasonability, but offer nothing for a solution. What good is your comment?

The police job is more stress than any content moderator on social media, because the police are living the content that gets moderated. They're subjected to immense violence because average citizens need protection from criminals.

Once again, do you have any decent solution or do you plan to just add to the stress of this critical and thankless job?
