@rchrd Yea it absolutely is :)

Anyone ever notice how air bubbles in, or droplets of, low surface tension fluids act very oddly. Speficially i notice they tend to not want to merge and in this case its really weird cause the bubble moves away from the surface as it moves down and the rube narrows. Its likely a sort of cappilary action at play or something.

Well I also dont think the vast majority of the GOP is smart enough to orchestrate a dictator either, so there is that.

My actual argument comes from personal expiernce as I invest a **lot** of time trying to help people get out of poverty. For example half a dozen to a dozen times in my life I have given homeless people a home, and paid for their education or helped them get a job, somthing to get out of poverty.

Over that time I learned there are generally two types of people. 1) those who just have a temporary bad run of luck and just need a little bit of money to get back on track. These people usually had stable jobs at some point 2) The sort of people that no matter how much money you give them they will make no progress and up back on the street

Group 1 is easy, unemployment alone can usually handle that group, Access to other forms of welfare if needed for sure.

Group 2 is tricky. Usually if you give them money they wind up worse, whatever you give them is likely to go to waste and often enabled them to bad habits. In fact the only thing that really gets Group 2 in good shape is if they are taught better habits. This group is usually generational and the issue is they were never taught proper coping mechanisms to deal with life

In the end UBI or any free money will usually make Group 2 worse and enable their bad habits, waste money, and do nothing to actually instill them with the skills needed. Welfare on the other hand, if done right as **conditional** help, and particularly coupled with free education/training, that is, help that is conditional on them doing their part, is far more effective as it only rewards people who make life style changed to fix the problem

I added the following to my profile so people can quickly get a sense for what I am about... Thoughts?

(See my profile but pasted below for ease)

My stance on various issues:

Education: Free to PhD, tax paid
Abortion: Protected, tax paid, limited time-frame
Welfare: Yes, no one should starve
UBI: No, use welfare
Racism: is real
Guns: Shall not be infringed
LGBT+/minorities: Support
Pronouns: Will respect

@brennx0r I took your advice and asked my local book store owner if she (Betty) wanted to colonize the moon. Betty said she would love to colonize the moon. Oh well, guess Better isnt eating this christmas!

> Gender is represented as a HSL color space that the user can change when in a personal room. Hue representing gender identity, Saturation to represent arousal (horny), and brightness to represent the ace to ambi axis

I wonder if they realize that 1) They force everyone to be the same gender when they arent horny and 2) They have things that arent gender (horniness) as part of gender and 3) Anyone who lacks sexual attraction to other people (ACE) can not have a gender.

@georgetakei Trump is too much of a moron to become a dictator... but I agree with you, he will try if he can. and regardless of if he becomes a dictator or not he will certainly cause as much trouble and expense for the US as possible getting there.

@BigAngBlack Where is the code or a link to the server?

@Peg33 And if I am shouting "lock them up" to both? Would you be willing to admit then that it **was** about the emails after all?

@worldsendless sweet! Thanks

Tater tots are the particle board of potatoes.

@georgetakei

Thanks 100% agree

@freepeoplesfreepress Worst I've seen it in my lifetime.. which is saying a lot because we **have** made some progress to on some important issues (no more ozone hole, yay!). So with as much progress as we made to still be worse off overall from a societal POV is saying a lot.

@stux hit me up over the weekend if you need me to test anything for ya.

@stux I wish i had the time for a more through dive. Sadly im working at the moment and just wanted to help out with some quick feedback.
