I would keep complaining about raising whatever the basic universal income is going to be.

I cant wait until no one has any skills because there would be zero incentive to go to college.
If your only incentive for learning a skill is to get a job, maybe you don't need to have those skills. It's a good thing that plenty of people actually enjoy self-betterment in of itself.
Movie Theater DiaryQuoting Donald Glover
College wasn't always viewed as a trade school
Cash payouts are the weakest incentive in the world, beyond a certain point
Main reason for getting my masters in teaching is to get a job as a teacher tbh.Quoting number8 (view post)

No, Not just learning a skill. That would be stupid. Learning a USEFUL skill that more people than just yourself value. Otherwise, all those things you enjoy so much, like infrastructure, electricity, and Hollywood studios to make those Fast and Furious movies.... won't exist.Quoting number8 (view post)
I long for the day when the revelation of a cheap, pollutionless, renewable energy source destroys every conception of current society.
Because life is so shitty right now??Quoting Skitch (view post)
Did you think I was talking about, what, knitting yarn? People learn science and tech for their own betterment and the pursuit of knowledge. That's how we got them in the first place. If you're talking about just their implementation to create infrastructure and maintain them, that is where the robots come in. Automation is inevitable, anyway. There is no way that the future isn't less labor.Quoting Dukefrukem (view post)

What? With the advent of a cheap clean renewable fuel source, technology would explode. Fuel is one of the biggest problems to solve with inventions. If we could figure out how to fly around the world on a handful of grass clippings, we'd have a Moon colony scheduled in a year.Quoting Dukefrukem (view post)
Weird, the entire Off Topic sub forum disappeared for me from the main page.
Only way I got here was through a Rep comment.
"All right, that's too hot. Anything we can do about that heat?"

Hey punks. I'm moving to Baltimore next week. Any hot tips?
Cool. Back in the states for good?
I'm sure Mara would have some good stuff for you, but she hasn't posted since March. Hopefully she's just been busy from her move and whatnot and not that she's gone for good.

I can ask her to stop by, she's active on Facebook...
Seriously is the Off Topic section gone for anyone else?

Not me, I see it. How are you viewing it? Screen grab?
Yeah, I still see it as well.
Same. PM Arya.
Yeah, send me a screenshot.
