Hot shit I thought the reddit design was a joke, that’s awful.

Varyk,

Pay me, experts

Varyk,

Haha, you goofy goofball

Varyk,

Great answer

Varyk,

Probably kino’s journey, kino no tabi, the original. Captures the spirit of calm wanderlust perfectly. Itinerance.i love the ending too.

Varyk,

Hahaha well I laughed out loud, so thanks

Not when you factor in the productivity and social harmony of a healthy citizen population.

Varyk,

Have to start somewhere, and starting with ubi is a lot better then the crooked system in place now.

Varyk,

Yea, just start them. People are so conservative that doing anything different from the status quo scares them, but once we have social policies in place, people like them. Libraries, national parks, paved roads, garbage trucks, conservatives fought against every positive social policy, medicare, but then appreciated them once they were enacted.

I don’t mind people possibly being surprised at inflation if their basic financial expenses are covered.

We haven’t tried it yet, it works as expected in all the trials so far, just do it.

The mechanics of sensible ubi are straightforward: enough money or money/housing to ensure survival, public education, pay more to those who contribute more to society.

Nothing is perfect, but ensuring the health of the population and investing in their success is a much better model for progress and growth than the ridiculous she damaging disparity the states is investing in at the moment.

Varyk,

Have a couple boxes of this in my fridge right now, I didn’t even think about making it myself. Thanks

Varyk,

Oh rad, thanks, I’ll check it out

Varyk,

Fair, thanks. I have an unpopular opinion about deniro and pacino though, so heat doesn’t crack my top (any number) in cinema.

I haven’t watched it in a decade though, so apparently I have to watch it again because everybody still talks about it 40 years later

Varyk,

Oh awesome, haha, this is a ringing endorsement.

Varyk,

I think I’m with you there.

It’s either machete or I have to watch him again in Desperado. I feel like in Desperado I was like “Oh yeah that is a murderer.” But he had to maintain that for the whole of machete.

Varyk,

I think humans are largely wired similarly and it’s mostly nurture that influences one’s “moral” compass.

I don’t think our morality is evolving in any meaningful way, but I am optimistic about our ethical development as a direct result of our increasing interconnectedness via travel technology and more significantly, social media/online news.

The invasion of Ukraine, for instance, is inciting a much stronger public global reaction than international conflicts historically have and I believe even twenty years ago(or less; Crimea), nobody would have cared that some faraway place was fighting another faraway place.

I think humanity and humans individually are developing empathy past our preoccupation with the monoculture we’re born into as a direct result of physical and digital proximity. Understanding and believing that we, all humans, humanity, are all related and connected is much more difficult to ignore or discount via ignorance these days, leading to a further-reaching awareness and empathy for situations distance may otherwise have preempted.

Varyk,

By the way, did you ask this 6 days ago, because I just received a notification this morning?

Varyk,

I don’t know about its origin, but as far as I understand people using the phrase, I think they just mean the potential for someone to do good regardless of the circumstances or consequences.

Faith in the character of every human to do good and achieve things.

Not metaphysical.

If you don’t have faith in humanity, it means you are cynical and you expect humans to take advantage of situations and act selfishly.

I’d say if you aren’t on them and don’t need them, there’s no reason to dip your toe in.

It’s okay to be a little weird and save tons of time and not have to read worthless comments.

I was part of the main ones, but got rid of everything, LinkedIn Facebook, all of it. They are useless or detrimental personally, and I don’t need them for my job.

This is the extent of my social media now.

How to pull rocks out of pipe in the ground?

My mom has a hole in the ground that she puts her clothes drying hanger in. Like this. The hole in the ground is a 2" or so pipe, set in concrete. The pipe has filled with gravel. Anyone have a tip on getting the rocks out? I can only get so many out using my fingers and then trying to use a set of chopsticks.

Varyk,

Long spoons. Or a backscratcher would work.

Varyk,

Ha, I was going to say jerboa is my favorite so far.

I’m having a different experience, haven’t had any bugs and the updates seem to add features/stability without introducing any bugs on my device, I’m also on Android.

What kind of things are making it unusable for you?

Varyk,

I don’t know anything about surfan Stevens, why him?

Fan theories about racist caricatures in phantom menace do not hold water

I’m listening to blank check and they are harping on the racist aspects of the voice acting of nute gunray, watto and jarjar, but I unknowingly happened upon a long interview with the voice actor for jar jar a couple years ago, including the lead up to him getting the part and the character and voice development, and now it...

Varyk,

You are frequenting an incredibly select number of communities.

Also, discussions tend to be more respectful here than on low bars like reddit, so crutches like swearing don’t come into play as much.

In my case, my f****** speech to text won’t f****** write out the c*** d*** c*** swear words, which I think is hilarious.

Varyk,

By offering mutual support? Seems good.
