I don’t hate work itself. I hate companies and the system that forces me to work a job I don’t give a fuck about.

I don’t have the resources nor opportunities to just work on something I love until it can maybe make some money. Unfortunately, that’s reserved to the wealthy or the lucky. I’ve been working in private on many things that don’t earn money. Maybe what I’m working on is shit. Maybe what I’m working on doesn’t matter. Maybe it never can be profitable. But I can’t throw everything away and just dedicate hundreds or thousands of hours to it like some lucky few can.

This is why UBI will always have my support. It’s my firm belief that anti-UBI people are actually afraid of the competition is would cause. Imagine if instead of 100 people having the time and resources to compete with you, there’d be thousands, maybe even millions. Imagine suddenly thousands of people actually digging into politics and deciding they want to give it a shot. Imagine thousands deciding they wanted to do their hobby fulltime and give it a shot at becoming something. Woodworking, climbing, athletics, journalism, gaming, content creation, mechanics…
There’d be a flurry of activity.

Those are relative explanations as in relative to the region. Compare it to Africa where the crime rate and murder rate is quite different despite there being active wars on the continent. Violence is of course present but not at the same level as in South America.

And even if they didn’t, their wealth still has to be taxed.

That’s great. I’ll try and remember that.

Some of these are legit funny and I barely speak the language. Thanks for sharing!

? doof?

That got a good chuckle out of me. Like it !

Which company or product are you referring to?

It has been the toiletbowl of the world for years. Never was a “townsquare”.

Yes, I’ve had the displeasure. Good one.

I found some for Apple. They aren’t all “pejorative” but still

• Fruit Company (or Fruit Store)
• i… --> iSheep, iOverprice, iGreed, iLies, iRot
• Apfel von Braun (Apple sucks up to fascists and authoritarians, Hiterl’s wife was Eva Braun, Apfel = Apple in German)
• Malus - Latin name for Apple

Easiest block of my life.

When I read stuff like this, my hope surges again that Russia is not far from a collapse, but they still hang on. It’s the only thing that impresses me about Russia.
