Government operates by accepting our individual political authority, and utilizing that investment of power to provide paid services to customers (“taxpayers”).

Our investment of political power makes us shareholders. Like any shareholder, we are owed a return on our investment. The government should be paying a dividend to each and every citizen.

Take your upvote and choke on it, dad.

They can see eachother in the room, so they should be able to figure out that they are all doing the same work. They might not do it yet, but they will certainly coordinate their efforts in the not-to-distant future. It doesn’t make sense for the AI service to expend resources on actual duplicated efforts, rather than just giving the appearance of duplication.

If I were running an AI, and I saw 25 people each pointing their note taking bots at the same webinar, I’d have it do the work once, and send it to each of them.

There is no reason to think that each of these 25 note taking bots is working separately and simultaneously on the exact same task.

Yeah. Because you have to pay people to do things they dont want to do.

I don’t think the Guillotine Party is going to have that problem. I think people will be lining up for the opportunity.

Reminds me of Admiral Patrick

This one knows their shit.

It depends on where the donation center is. I live in a semi-rural college town with virtually zero homeless population. Plasma donation here is a bit different here than it is in the urban hellscape 25 minutes away. The atmosphere here is more “blood drive” than “soup kitchen”.

That’s enough internet for today. Good night, Lemmy. Never change.

Full body condoms FTW.

Take them over from the inside out, replace their wishy-washy moderates with extremists, energize the base, and start winning elections again.

So, yes, almost exactly what you said.

There is no evidence she had a brain.

#GuillotineParty is going to do the same thing to the Democrats that the Tea Party did to the Republicans.

Fuck. That. Shit.

#GuillotineParty.

I dont know how DD stays in business. I’d rather have Hostess or Little Debbie donuts. Or Lender’s bagels. Or Kirkland precooked bacon.

You won. Congratulations.

We have the same problems in America, but with deer, and the same solutions to that problem.

But those same nutjobs who want to ban roo meat also want to ban deer hunting. Because they are idiots.

Government performs services, and acceptd payment for those services in the form of taxation. The thing that is missing is the recognition that the powers exercised by government are possessed by We The People. We own those powers. We “invest” those powers in the government, who uses those powers to provide paid services to its customers.

We are each owed a return on our “investment” of political authority. Our political authority should not be given to the government freely. We should be individually compensated for it.

We are shareholders.

Universal Basic Income is one possible method of compensating the citizenry for the use of our political authority.

Increasing the bag limit on “billionaire” to something greater than “0” would have a much more appreciable effect on the climate than a thousand families forgoing children.
