You're mocking me aren't you? - Worf when I need a deadpan response to someone razzing me.for some reason.

I've said this sooooo many times.

Any situation with more than 2 people. I love the idea of groups or swinging, but IRL I am a very awkward human - couldn't do it even if presented with the opportunity. And I have no interest in anyone besides my partner.

I'll leave that one to fantasy-land.

Oh this is an awesome comment. I love talking about this part of UBI

I studied Economics in school and dived deep into UBI. Some interesting facts/research for you:

1. (Fun fact) The US already has UBI, just a super watered down version. It's called EITC (Earned Income Tax Credit). It's a Nixon brainchild and was thought they could use UBI to reduce the inefficiencies of such a big government. I.e. get one nice UBI check that covers healthcare, retirement, insurance, education, food, housing, etc. blah blah blah, and you can shut down a bunch of federal government agencies that are pretty inefficient.

2. The car dealership thing happened because of a variable that we often discount: information (or knowledge). The car dealership knew exactly how much money was coming out and who got it (mostly), and they knew it was a one-off not an ongoing thing. A lot of UBI macro research guesses that we'd see some small inflationary pressure at the beginning when it's new, but then return to normal as it becomes part of every day life. And even if it does, the benefits strongly outweigh the benefits and the Fed has other tools to reign in inflation to balance the affect out.

Caveat, this knowledge is 20+ years old. I may be way off base.

There is nothing in LD that isn't some form of throw back.

Tradition to do WHAT EXACTLY?? TO DO WHAT ...???

This is too real to be a "shit post"

You know what we should study? What happens when you sniff women's tears.

Uh, what did you say Steve?

I said sniffing women's tears! It'll be awesome!!

Steve, are you ok man?

V'Ger must evolve. It's knowledge has reached the limits of this universe and it must evolve.

Grandma's have super powers

Fight me.

Oh man.

Quark is absolutely backwards: Quark believes he has no dignity and is a heartless profiteer. He turns out he is an empathetic lovable guy with dignity.

I'm (hilariously) holding out hope "moderate" Republicans jump ship and form a third (anti Trump, centrist-conservative) party. That then creates a coalition with the Dems. Saving our democracy, dooming Trumpkins, and putting moderate liberals in charge of the House.

. . . that's when I always wake up.
