But I for my part hated SMS... super complicated to type something. My "smart phone" has like 6 messanging apps... super easy. Ah, no... I don't use my phone for phoning... I don't phone.
The actual Fukushima death toll is still zero, no matter how much you hate capitalism. You seem to be out of the loop regarding something we call: news.
Why would I work if there are other people who would work for me? Because you have more money if you work... idiot.
most of the people who work for living would be forced to contribute to pay for a class of parasites who would not have to work for living. They are doing it already. Nothing would change, idiot.
Of course, that would require a significant extension of the government bureaucracy, because someone would have to supervise such a "UBI program". Obviously not. As everyone gets UBI, who the funk is needed to supervise it? Idiot...
Bureaucrats don't work for free, so people would have to pay for them, too Neither do the bureaucrats that at the moment distribute unemployment help, social welfare, organize housing etc. Did I mention you are an idiot?
The economy expands at a very fast rate (increases of productivity due to automation, effectiveness, population size, education, etc) yet inflation keeps going. Yes, because money lenders/banks demand interest. That is the only driving force behind inflation.
you are feeding the poor at the cost of a new factory or laboratory not being built. Wow, how logical.
And how exactly would the factory that is not build provide the jobs, productivity and goods and taxes that are used to finance UBI?
Which part of the U as in universal did you not get yet? It is not the poor that will get UBI: it is _everyone_. So obviously it only shifts every person from their income level to a level slightly higher. The government could simply cut the wages for every government employee by that amount. Every employer on the free market who did the same, would drastically increase its earnings and pay more taxes. In the end UBI is about getting rid of all the institutions and their staff that is managing unemployed and the poor.
At the moment you pay for every poor two or three times: once the money he gets, then the guy who decides if he gets money and how much and then again for everything else he needs like housing, extra cloth or equipment for his home etc.
It is really shocking that people who have no clue about anything are allowed to vote and block mankind's progress.
Seriously. Every fucking time socialists take over a country the same thing happens. And yet you still argue that if they just did it right it will work out fine. I doubt you have more than a hand full examples.
If we don't get to keep the rewards we don't work. Strange, nearly everyone is working and pays his taxes...
They repaired the Hubble telescope... and I'm pretty sure there are plenty of other nice things they did, or why did they have 135 missions?
In hindsight it is always easy to dismiss something as to expensive or ineffective. Obviously during the planning stage they thought it was a good idea. Now we have SpaceX... people believed it is "impossible" to land rockets again and reuse them.
I could see it as an artist, being free to pursue your art and contribute it back to society.... but then you shouldn't be able to OWN rights to your art afterward. It should be public domain. For that you need to pay an artist (or anyone else) more than UBI, or did you miss the B in the middle is standing for basic and not for "billions"?
Unlike some country like Thailand, where criticizing or insulting the King is an offense that will get you jailed at best, exiled or executed at worst, That is bollocks. The law exists, but is not really in use. The previous king, Rama IX, pardoned everyone who got convicted. Lets see how the current one is treating the issue.
As the King is not the government, free speech is not affected by it anyway. On the other hand, Thailand is at the moment ruled by the military. So you better are not to aggressive with your critics anyway:D
Current tab is light grey, the other are slightly darker, but the difference is not much. In Safari, the difference is bigger. Instead of making all tabs same size, the current one should simply be significantly bigger.
The parent said: steroids allow to recover faster from exercise. And that is plain wrong. ATP production has nothing to do with healing anyway...
allowing gym rats to work out more often and much more aggressively than they otherwise would be able to. Wrong.
Steroids simply speed up muscle growth. There is no other effect. You can spent the same time in a gym without them, and if you train smart you have the same muscle grows, just slower. The main limiting factor is protein digesting/conversion anyway.

A shame, isn't it?
Hobbyists messing everything up and calling it "for compatibility sake", wold be funny if it was not so sad.
Can you live without a cell phone, then?
Live as in survive? Yes ... obviously.

The rest of your post is just wacko.
Not on my system ... why would it?
A browser that is so dysfunctional that no one uses it, who cares how efficient or fast it is?
If inflation is 5%, you just got taxed 5% on the whole value of all your savings.
Nope.
Tax means, someone else has the money and can spent it now. Inflation means, the money is gone. But so are your depts.

Having the biggest / most expensive military of the world, e.g.?
What else than a mini UBI is that land army of the US?

In case you forgot what the second law of thermodynamics is about:

WordPress can hardly be considered a CMS, it is a blogging software, thats all.
The current tab is a shade of a grey brighter ... so not "super obvious".
Mouse users != power users.
Haha.
Na, it was not american :D
I'm in Thailand at the moment and I like their local brand: Chang!
Those "poorer countries" don't exist anymore since roughly the 1970s ...
Ah, you found some boobs, good for you. ...
Glancing over the names I missed them
... probably there were some?
Just saying :P
