At least he had the option to view it legally at all.
I'm a fan of J-POP and K-POP. Every year or so, I do a search, they either say it doesn't exist at all or not available in my country.
At least Youtube normally allows me to listen to it, but wouldn't it be nice if I were to be legally allowed to buy^Wlicense a copy to put on my MP3 player?
When I first read the singles classified in the paper, I thought GSOH meant 'Good Salary, Own Home' and commented that at least these women were being honest about what they were after.
The slightly less than average user can't (easily) tell the difference between a valid security message and a browser popup claiming that something dire will happen unless they click on this message and run this program, so they ignore them all. Just last night I had to tell my mother that the browser complaining about being out of date and to upgrade was probably valid.
Also in the same call, had to try and reassure her that smart meters weren't going to burst into flame and/or make her sick with the power of wireless electromagnetic radiation....and she still decided not to get one because of all the random people on the internet claiming they were evil. "But this guy is a M.D. from England! He's got to know all about it right?"
Give it a couple of raspberries, hit it on the head a few times with a ball and I can convince a Pikachu to come home with me. Women thus far aren't keen on being coaxed with raspberries or being hit repeatedly with balls (at least until much later in the relationship!)
They don't want the hassle of dealing with the complaints about little jimmy shattering his fragile little mind when he gets his hands on the PIN code to access it. Or a wife complaining that the suggested movies includes porn even though (supposedly) no one in their houses watches it.
That said, if they had a decent range with properly searchable and correctly tagged content, I'd pay for it. I'm sure that somewhere someone has made porn catering to my particular fetish.
How would that be different from any other lifeguard? A trained lifeguard is always going to choose to save the person that they can rather than the person they can't.
I used to have to work like this back in 1998. Internet access was severely restricted and only 1 person per division had access and you'd have to tell them what you were looking for and they'd do the search for you.
In practice, it was faster for me to walk home, search for the information I needed and walk back than to do this or reinvent the wheel when 100 people had found the same problem and had already posted a solution.
Honestly I'm more productive with internet access, even if I'm currently at work posting this while waiting for my script to finish running.
Why not just hire those people that graphic images don't affect? Their lack of empathy might not let them get many jobs outside of the TSA, but they'll follow the rules precisely.
Personally, I wouldn't want to do it, but not because of the graphicness of the images, but because it's low paid and I'd find it really boring. Probably want to set up an office image bingo card 'come on, nipple, nipple, dick pic, beheading....Yes! BINGO!!"
On the rare occasions where I, as a user, have reported a repeatable crash in a program, the response has been "It crashes when you do that? Well, don't do that."
Because even volunteer work costs quite a bit of money. So if you're planting flowers along the highway, you'll need to pay out for the flowers themselves, spend time organizing a safety report for how to keep workers safe near hazardous objects moving at high speed, hi-vis vests, digging and watering equipment... Or you're tutoring children. You'll need to be vetted to show that you aren't a pedo or have criminal convictions before you're allowed to work with children, the educational material, organizing rotas so that if a volunteer is off ill, someone else can fill the gap at short notice... Hanging out with old people is probably pretty cheap.
I would set the UBI at around $US25 a day. That's quite a lot less than the $US58 minimum wage. It's enough to feed, clothe and shelter, but nothing more.
Yes. I'd go with enough for 1500 calories a day, a bed in a dorm, and a clothing allowance. Enough to survive, but not enough to 'live'. I expect, just as people who game the welfare system now, that substantial amounts of them would continue to work in the black economy, but that's a problem with the revenue gathering system rather than welfare vs BI.
Depends on the person. I've gone over 6 weeks at a time without physical human interaction. All that happened to me was that I started talking to myself. Some people do that even without being isolated. That said, I accept that other people may well need daily human interaction to stay sane, just saying that if I was ever incarcerated, I'd be quite happy for extended periods of playing computer games, and would hate to have to interact with the type of people who bullied me at school (which is quite similar - trapped for hours in an institution where most of the other inmates don't want to be there and take their frustrations with this on other people, the guards/teachers don't give a shit and only get involved when there's broken bones or bloodshed.)
It would be reversible...if the money stayed in the destination account. However, what they do is then split the money into many, many accounts, and keep moving it, travelling the world until it's laundered enough to recover. As each account would require a court order to disclose what happened to the money in it, and different countries have different requirements to disclose and different languages, by the time they've chased down the money, it's already moved on - so they just don't bother.
Wheelchair people keep lobbying (and getting) wheelchair accessible buses. However, I've never seen a wheelchair person actually use one. They all have adapted vans. I do on rare occasions see one using the train. Still, the wheelchair spot on buses aren't wasted. They are quite often filled with the huge baby APVs that parents feel the need to move their precious darlings in.
If a person with a hi-vis vest with 'fire marshal' written on it tells people to follow him to safety, most people are going to do so, even if the fire marshal seems like an idiot.
As other people have said, we've been trained to follow authority, and it doesn't matter if that authority is vested in a human or anything else.
Maybe they should redo the experiment with dogs, cats and rats to see if we follow them too?
Decide? I'd happily work 5 hours less a week (and get paid less pro-rata). But I can't - it's standard hours or nothing. For minimum wage jobs (or you're female), you can go part-time, but that's 20 hours or less.

It's money when they want it to be, and it isn't when they don't.

People need more DoubleThink training if they don't get this yet.

Paid daily? If they choose not to spend todays UBI on food, then food will become a priority tomorrow.

Does seem a bit extreme. Even when I was working on a Government contract, there was only 12 managers for us 2 developers.
On the rare occasions where I, as a user, have reported a repeatable crash in a program, the response has been "It crashes when you do that? Well, don't do that."
Wow, that's waay too high. I would have gone with a rate about 1/3 of that.

Shemale midget scat donkey porn. ...Sorry, I meant 'interspecies erotica'.
Or because I live in the wrong country and won't sell to me at any price short of negotiated license for the entire country.
Well, technically, I could fly to that country, buy the hardcopy media, and then fly back, but that seems a little OTT.

In that case you type the required letters with the other keyboard.

A couple of reasons I can think of:
1) Charity shop.
2) To get a job history in a down market when no one is hiring without (recent) experience.
