rockSlayer, to memes in History

Just sayin’ but there are still several native tribes still existing across the Americas. We can talk to them.

That’s ok, this map of native American lands is definitely outdated. The Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) lands are much smaller than it should be. As that’s the only tribal name I can actually read, I imagine it’s a similar story for the other tribes.

link for the curious. There’s some decent music in the thread

rockSlayer, to memes in I don't care that Goku and Frieza have been powering up for the last two weeks; you're not changing it on me

My siblings and I worked out a system that essentially boiled down to first come first serve, but after at least an hour the others could ask for the remote. Any disagreement led to an informal vote on what to watch, the one with the remote had to oblige

I was the oldest, so it was mostly me getting sick of sitting on my siblings every time I wanted to watch south park

I’m curious about how reliable that method is

rockSlayer, to memes in UBI works too

I never specified in either direction which should be done first. Ideally it would be an omnibus bill, but both should happen. The order doesn’t matter to me. Don’t pretend that ubi is a solution in and of itself.

rockSlayer, to memes in UBI works too

The biggest trick is to break people out of their capitalist programming. Instead of rebuttals, just ask questions.

“We need landlords”

Why?

“Because they provide housing, duh”

Ok, but what about housing do they provide? They don’t build the buildings, they just own it.

“Sure, but they do the repairs”

They do, but why do tenants have to pay someone else to live there in case a repair is needed? What if the tenants owned the building together instead?

rockSlayer, to memes in UBI works too

Don’t try to mischaracterize me. For UBI to work, we need national rent stabilization and significant efforts to build non-market housing across the nation. I’m not against UBI, but it can’t just be added without other changes.

Unless you live in a city with rent stabilization, yes landlords will do that. Groceries will likely not have that problem, because of other market conditions. The first to increase their rents will be luxury apartments. Once the Internet is done laughing their asses off about $5000 rent, other landlords will use realpage to gauge the market and increase in tandem. Landlords literally do not care if their property is occupied, because the money is in the land and we’ve commoditized housing.

Naturally, because if it was like Nimona, then the character can’t be edited out for regressive countries

rockSlayer, to memes in UBI works too

Because telecom companies secured their monopoly after a whiff of community organizing

rockSlayer, to memes in UBI works too

It’s super frustrating that my state banned the ability for cities to have municipal internet, it makes organizing to make gigabit Internet a municipal utility much harder

rockSlayer, to mildlyinteresting in "Progress"

Don’t worry, the historic buildings were destroyed years ago to meet minimum parking requirements

rockSlayer, to mildlyinteresting in Gay Water, a vodka soda that's a response to the Bud Light transphobia

Honestly I’m just glad to hear people recognizing that Anheuser-Busch isn’t a trans icon or even queer friendly.
