A cynical view is that he does understand and is just shitposting and muddying the water around UBI

It’s easy when he doesn’t value earth very much

I’ll check it out, thanks! People around the world are feeling for you and your country, more than our leaders will listen to
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
I think this is another case of the word meaning different things. The agony that a person may experience and the sorrow of their loved ones. Some will celebrate that death.
The cessation of malignant influence from a powerful person, and the net progress towards a more inclusive, equitable, and just society. A lot of people are celebrating that death

I had a tradition of watching every year on the 4th, it holds up pretty well!

I think of Bambi and thumper, that’s how bad it is
- Comment on Why exactly are nursing aids paid so poorly? 1 month ago:
It’s a weird one because it’s a huge expense but it’s also completely concentrated to a subset of the population for a subset of their life. I think it should have a public option. 2 toddlers, not infants, could cost us 50k/year

Definitely. I personally merge earlier, knowing it’s less efficient and will put me back relative to zipper merging - just to avoid the stress of trying to get in between potentially uncooperative mergees. But I also don’t get too mad at the mergers - maybe they’re in a legit hurry

Some people think that if there’s a hwy lane closure in 30 miles, you’re the asshole of you don’t immediately merge over

- Comment on Anyone know yet how to get some of the Trumps 1.7 billion slush fund? I mean I hate fucking Trump. But I could come up with a good yarn how Biden came after me? Plus Lemmy needs new servers. 2 months ago:
I don’t actually think it’ll go to anyone who needs it - probably mostly another trump family grift. The thought experiment goes that he doesn’t actually pay any stochastic terrorists, he just convinces a whole lot of them that they’ll be taken care of if they pop off and cause enough chaos for the election to be cancelled. Used that way, 1.8B can go much further than it would for an organized / funded militia

- Comment on 2 months ago:
I just saw a “financial advice” YouTube short that recommended 3.5% down payment and investing the rest in the stock market, assuming that the returns will exceed mortgage interest payments and fees. It’s a risky approach, but the rates aren’t necessarily predatory in the USA - instead they make you buy insurance (PMI) for if you default, which adds to your payments

Slay the spire 2 is tugging my sleeve but I’ve got a bit more iron to process and that’s already paid for
- Comment on Is "dark humor" generally acceptable or is it just my parents/culture more sensitive towards jokes? 4 months ago:
I think “dark humor” can be a pretty broad term. You were just poking fun and lightheartedly highlighting a real risk of not getting a new charger. On the other hand, I know people that have had house fires and lost every material possession they had. Keepsakes of lost relatives, photo albums, cherished souvenirs, etc. some people have lost loved ones. The older you get, the more you accumulate tragedy, be it first or second-hand. Humor that hurts or scares people isn’t kind, even if you don’t agree with their sensitivity. Then again, when you collect enough tragedy, it can become funny again because you just have to laugh

Is there any way of knowing which country targeted the school? Maybe it doesn’t matter much but I am curious
- Comment on The U.S. men’s Olympic hockey team won gold — and then lost the room 4 months ago:
I honestly feel a little bad for them as a group. FBI director flies out wanting to borrow some glory - are these euphoric kids supposed to stand up and object when a teammate invites him in? Or when the president calls, are they expected to object or call him out?
I assume that most of them just went along with it, the comments “absolutely” and “2 for 2” showed support of the women’s team. And now, they probably hope it’ll just blow over. I blame Patel and the president the most, which leads again to blaming the electorate and Congress that put/keep them in power
- Comment on Should this be the year we finally try voting for other candidates? 5 months ago:
This is the right answer. USA is first-past-the-post voting, so vote/campaign for who you love in the primary and vote for outcome in the general

- Comment on Video games are losing the "attention war" to gambling, porn, and crypto, according to industry report 5 months ago:
Gambling/crypto is all risk, porn is risk-free reward
If people have more alluring alternatives for cheap dopamine, maybe video games can prioritize satisfying gameplay and narratives. Play has value, that’d be ok

- Comment on What challenge from a game isn't worth completing and what challenge from a game is worth completing? 6 months ago:
You can beat factorio with extremely inefficient gameplay, layout, etc. There are two achievements in that sort of “taught” me how to play better. First was the one that limited how many items you could handcraft, and second was the speedrun achievements. Both were doable but forced me to automate more and plan things out in advance, and I can’t remember any other game’s achievements that qualitatively changed how I played.
