Right, billionaires will do whatever they can to earn more, including leaving a country with high tax rates.

But a lot of people if guaranteed a minimal quality of living would just stop working and do things that they like (that don't necessarily make money) and that's the whole point of UBI.

You'll just get more and more people believing all work is exploitation and they'll stop working. Then the people still working will have higher taxes, feel that they're being exploited by the people not working, and soon everybody will be unemployed and nobody will be exploited and it'll be paradise.

I tried this a couple years ago and I found the quality to not be as good or as flexible as jekyll with a Netlify cms.

(Not that setting up Jekyll is easy though)

Bellard's tiny C compiler (tcc) can execute C so fast it's as if it were a scripting language.

"Does anyone else use Gamestop as a bank?

I got really pissed off with US Bank because I kept overdrafting my account even though I opted out, and the same thing happened with my credit union when I got a debit card.

Now whenever I get paid I go preorder a whole shitload of games. Whenever I need money, I go to the nearest gamestop and ask for my money back on a game I don't want and make a withdrawal. The lines are shorter at gamestop than at the bank and I can trade in old games and have money go straight to my savings account. Gamestops are just as prevalent as banks in my town and I work at a mall so it's even more convenient than running an errand to the bank or using an ATM and getting charged

The gamestop people are starting to catch on that I'm just moving money around and only buying one preordered game a year, if that, but there isn't shit they can do about it. The best part is, since I always preorder every game coming out I'm still guaranteed to get all the exclusive content whether or not I'm sure I want a certain game. It's like they're rewarding me for banking with them."

I find that vim really shines in editing text on touch screens with on-screen keyboards. I can do complicated commands without doing too much typing out digging through menus or using ctrl alt whatever keys.

I think that revenge and intricate interpersonal plots should just be avoided unless someone intends on outdoing the count of monte cristo. Maybe it's unreasonable but that's how I see it. I guess really the only things I appreciate in the great gatsby are the things in it that remind me of the count.

They're both about wealthy enigmatic characters (albeit the count of monte cristo book doesn't keep the count's purposes a mystery) who throw extravagant parties. Both characters seem emotionally distant and turn out to be excessively obsessed with the past. They both feature a lot of tragedy and revenge and the titular character meets their love from long ago who is now married to someone else.

They both have connections to the criminal underground, they both anger the husband of their love causing death.

Not exact duplicates by any means, but the similarities are there.

Because it's a crappy version of the count of monte cristo.

It's a very hard read. It took me several times to get into it.

He was inspired by C. S. Lewis' that hideous strength.

If the goal is to remove carbon from the system, then the best thing we can do is waste as much paper and throw it in the trash where it goes to a landfill and never decays back into the air.

If we recycle it we're keeping that carbon in play. But by wasting mass amounts of paper over and over again, we can remove a lot of carbon from the air. As we chop down more and more trees to make paper and bury the paper in a landfill, new trees grow up which get turned to paper which gets buried and taken out of the system.

So waste paper if you want to save the planet, because paper may kill a tree, but that tree will grow back, and the paper will sit in a landfill petrified.

Oh believe me, I've had plenty of second opinions. I even ask the most brutal and least polite people I know.

It's not a merit of less frequent bathing, it's just my genetics. I just don't produce stinky sweat.

My brother-in-law was jealous after he smelled a pair of socks I had worn for a week and there was virtually no odor.

Right, I have dry earwax and have never worn deodorant. I shower once or twice a week, but I never start to stink. My clothes don't even stink if I get them all sweaty every day without changing them.

It's not fair, but it's how it is.

I don't sniff my armpits because they've never smelled in my life.

I have a genetic defect where I don't produce apocrine sweat (the kind that causes bacteria to produce odor) but still maintain the eccrine sweat that cools me down.

This trait is associated with dry earwax.

I've worn a shirt for a week straight and had a relative with a sensitive nose smell it and another shirt that had not been worn a day. They incorrectly guessed which shirt I had worn and which one I hadn't.
