  I think the point is that since these dollars are borrowed, they must eventually be repaid with interest, so on the long run, they will be removed from the economy and they don’t produce inflation like if it was free money. Now, if the government can just allow itself to get a greater amount of debt every few years and only pay the interest, it may lose its meaning…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Modern Monetary Theory: Musk Edition⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Which you already have to do, because there already is inflation. I don’t see how a UBI would change anything if the inflation stays the same.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Modern Monetary Theory: Musk Edition⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, the text says “you could actually get deflation because there will be so much abundance produced”. There is some reality where this is true, as increasing the monetary mass would do nothing if the economy (the amount of goods and services produces) also increases. But I wouldn’t bet on an universal basic income increasing the global production.

  Being a dating little person must be so weird because of that logic.

  Achtually, a gas-powered car isn’t that far from an airplane in terms of CO2 emission per kilometer. But planes allow for long distance travels that you would never consider doing by car. It also depends how many people are in the car. Planes also produce more non-CO2 pollutants.
  If you were to choose between driving X km alone in your car or take a plane, both options’ environmental impact would be quite close.

  I think the birds aren’t real people have it all wrong.
  Given the level of technology needed to make anything fly, how are we supposed to believe in the original organic “birds” to begin with?
  Clearly it’s just a distraction from the real harsh truth.

  I didn’t know that. There is also LineageOS that supports a wider range of phones.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just switch to GrapheneOS or Linux at this point.

  And the social contract accepts that cars kill pedestrians and cyclists every once in a while for the sake of efficiency. It’s dangerous, it’s legalized murder, and we choose to accept it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🙄🙄🙄⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m always amazed to think that my life sometimes only holds to a red light and the drivers’ willingness to obey the law. If either were missing, only their will to keep their car clean could save me.

  As long as he repents he should be fine.

  They said goodbye at a given position and are then leaving each in a different direction. They are starting to move at the same time from the same point.

  Reinvesting profits in the organization is in theory much better than giving it to shareholders. In practice, most non-profit are quite poor, and yes, salary are usually lower than market. Partly because they can’t scale up by using investors money like for-profit do, I guess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You have nothing to lose but your brains⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, you can always go work for a non-profit organization. Your salary will be even lower.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon teaches you about their culture⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, my culture is uniquer because it’s built on classism and wars against religions!

  It’s because they took the photo during a solar eclipse, of course!

  Yeah, no, I’m not duckduckgoing that.

  There was no repeatable sidequests too. Where’s the replayability?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just do it⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Then maybe some states are not purely capitalists.
  Anyway, even in a capitalistic point of view, it’s probably better to avoid trading with the US these days.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just do it⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If people are boycotting something, it means they don’t only care about money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is a PC gamer⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If big corporation fail to improve their games graphics, then gamers will have to find other criterias to choose what games to buy, like gameplay of actual content.
  If anything, it will leave more space for indie games. And larger productions will either stagnate on graphics or start producing more cartoonish content.

  Now that you’re talking about AI slop, that cat looks really dry for something that came out of a canal.

  The fourth cheese could be a cheaper one too.

  Wouldn’t that make one giant 1.625% milk?
