Chunk, to upliftingnews in Denver experimented with giving people $1,000 a month. It reduced homelessness and increased full-time employment, a study found.

It’s nice that homeless people were able to enjoy a significantly higher quality of life but inflation made my latte $7 so I don’t think we should be giving away free handouts.

/s

I put that /s because you ravenous Lemmy commies can’t read sarcasm even if it was written by Marx. I’m onto you guys 😉

There is a History of the Byzantines podcast and it talks about the political maneuvering in the empire and church. They had political parties and each party had separate religious beliefs and that was important for how church doctrine evolved.

It’s so incredibly political it’s unbelievable. It’s like “I want to be emperor so I will agree to whatever those guys say so I can gain their political support”. And now hundreds of millions of people think that’s the word of God when really it’s the back alley dealings of Justinian.

These pedantic Lemmy nerd fights remind me of how I learned so much on early reddit reading similar arguments.

Your grammar is correct and your sentence structure is fine. It just lacks a bit of… pizzazz 😉

You could say

Regardless, it remains in use as a measurement that only a small fraction of the world continues to use.

Which maybe is a little bit too much pizzazz for Lemmy but you don’t really get to have fun with your writing elsewhere!

Oh my God I have a story about this.

Our entire company wants metric. The guidance folk want to do their modeling in metric. The prop team wants to do fluid/thermo in metric. The structures team wants to do load analysis in metric.

But the boys at the 'pad are imperial only. The water system, fuel tanks, all ground infra is in imperial. If someone runs down to the hardware store they can easily find a fitting, gasket, or o ring in imperial. But metric? Good luck.

So our company decided to support both. The flight computer and ground software did unit conversions, everything was unit-aware, telemetry was occasionally manually converted because the onscreen wasn’t the right unit. We had written our own turing complete, inhouse programming language and we ended up implementing dual-static typing. We had float, int, bool and then we had units where some operations required the units to be the same thing. So cm and inch but not inch and kilogram.

The project was terribly mismanaged. To this day some still wonder why.

Chunk, to memes in UBI works too

Okay all you commies get ready for politics 101

First don’t rely on morals to make your argument. It, unfortunately, does not change capitalist minds.

Second, frame your argument in capitalist rhetoric. For example you can say, “UBI is important to stimulate the economy by enabling Low-Income-Americans to spend more on essentials.”

Seriously, not joking, this is how you change people’s minds.

Dopamine addicted rat.

Why do you even need to watch TV all the time, let alone from multiple streaming services? Wtf is that?

Someone is upset. For someone claiming to be enlightened you sure are aggressive.

You have no right to command my attention, yet I’m not surprised you think so.

    People who insist on pushing themselves into every possible corner of society will focus on anything that is unequal no matter how meaningless.
