I'm not saying people buy more bread, I'm saying the baker ups his prices for a single loaf and blames it on inflation.

The milk producer follows suit, citing the same reasons, as do the video game publishers. For evidence of this, look at the price gouging that all retailers did in recent years for absolutely no good justification.

But civilized countries already have public options to supply these items at cost :public water, public transport, food stamps.

This is the one saving factor I can see. Having some kind of free or subsidized alternative that industry simply cannot complete with, and forces them to reduce their prices. God I wish this was more prevalent.

Public water isn't a thing in the UK. It looks like it is from the outside, but it's all monopoly owned to the entity in your area.

they're good in theory, in practice they're a bit disappointing and really greasy

The whole social credit thing sounds like something that could easily be taken away depending on your political beliefs

Agreed, but sounds more like socialism with authoritarian overtones. I don't see why we'd need UBI

Completely agree. The people I found online in those early days were just random people without any motive or incentive to sell me on an ideology. There was a trust back then, because opinions weren't really worth anything and no one could access your wallet.

Finding that some community now is a total minefield for users, young or old. So much of the internet has been gamified for a profit/scam at any cost.

I wish that kids could just connect with other random kids across the world like I did, but I think those days are likely done.

I love vegan food (the ice cream/cake scene alone is amazing), but it's usually not discounted sadly

BirdFS is a pretty efficient file system, in the sense that it retrieves items from an infinite disk that you didn't even know you wanted. The read speed is several times a day, and the write speed I'm still currently waiting on a metric there

I wish there were another way, but I just don't have that much faith in my fellow man to do the right thing if a decent anarchy took place. I suppose I prefer an economy where the power is concentrated on elected officials.

As long as those officials can be held accountable, or have extremely fixed terms, then maybe that's a model that can function

oh that's decent

Right, that makes sense. Some kind of guarantee needs to be given that the bottom base won't just be raised again.

why navigation?

that sounds, no joke, amazing

Deep dark thought clouds coming off that pup

That's a pretty excellent school to go to, hell I wish I had that level of training

stay right there, I'm going to visit you and I'm bringing a camera to disprove your LIES!
(then we can play mario kart or something, whatever I'm easy)

I go to the shop, buy a mini pork pie they have on discount, take it back home and microwave it for 45 seconds. That's my sandwich, and I love it

amen

I developed an inner life, it was the only peace I could find from the daily assault that was my outer life. Sure in the past it was more visible habits like reading a book, but letting kids have some autonomy over their lives is important I feel
