@WonderingArch @CkanJohnson Why would you want to spend time with people you cannot be honest with? It’s grows very, very tiresome and you find yourself taking risks and letting the chips fall where they may.

It never happens on purpose. You just slowly stop fitting into certain rooms. You ask one too many questions, say things a little too honestly, and people start finding you exhausting without ever meaning to. Then one day you notice the invites dried up. And the strange part is you are not even bothered.

No one even bothers to explain why tips shouldn't be taxed, we all just accept it's raw slopulism with no rhyme or reason.

@WonderingArch @Leophilius it says right there, "1 dumbass" with dumbass as the unit
English
@WonderingArch @Leophilius No, the unit is “dumbass”. Light travels at one dumbass. Twice the speed of light is two dumbasses.

Serious question for AI optimists who believe AI will automate all work:
In a society where there are no sources of income other than UBI, and thus everyone has the same income, how would positional goods be allocated?

@GeringerAdam crackheads are uniquely affected by gravity, hence le leaning over and why they're denser on the ground floors of buildings

The zombies don’t climb up the hills in sf btw. You can expect a lot off nonsense living on a hill

@MaciejSkurwysyn @Leophilius year is based on earth why would it be a universal constant

@_RobertSchultz It was definitely a couple hundred extra bucks but that's it

a subtle giveaway that someone grew up rich is if they were able to bring a friend on family vacations like what do you mean your parents were like “of course johnny from your soccer team can come! what’s another 5 thousand dollars!?!”
