If UBI (universal basic income) were ever implemented wouldn't corporations and landlords immediately raise prices to effectively take that away from people?
  • Rents are skyrocketing because demand is high and we literally do not have enough housing for the number of people we have in the places they live.

    Suddenly dumping more money into the economy would just increase the price bar on that demand, and prices would go up more.

    Prices can increase for a lot of reasons, and going up from one doesn't stop them from going up from another.

  • What were the dumb things you did in 2020 to prevent COVID?
  • I remember I'd just happened to buy a resin 3d printer, and so had bought a few masks to use for that. I got into printing and painting Warhammer because of the pandemic. Still have a a small army that's entirely printed and about 3/4 painted from that time.

  • STEM
  • Similarly, from an engineer's perspective, scientists are a great addition to the working group when you need to find the flaws in the system, but awful when you actually just need something to go into the real world and work 80% of the time ;)

    Especially when you're time constrained.

  • despite all my rage IT keeps me trapped like a rat in a cage.
  • Program management system for the entire division? Excel. "Agile" task tracker? Excel. Requirements manager? Oh no no, that one's written in a word document with no version control. I have trauma. Use tools made for the thing you want to do, please.

  • It's quiet - too quiet.
  • The room is pitch black, you're relying on dark vision, and you just failed your perception check. I can definitely see this happening outside of bad DM'ing, and I think the PC being sus of a blank room in an otherwise dangerous dungeon could also be in character.

  • Gift giving in post-scarcity society must be really hard.
  • I feel like it'd make gift giving more difficult, but more meaningful- you would have to give people actually customized things, something you made or something you think they need that they haven't noticed. Harder, but shows more thought than giving generic-consumer-item#528

    I know this is a meme, just made me think

  • An industry shouldn't have multiple human rights watch reports about working conditions
  • I've been a meat eater my whole life, and a well made impossible burger is pretty damn close. There's nothing "not meat-y" about it like I've experienced with beyond meat. I even use it to make my biscuits and gravy now because I can't tell the difference at all in that.

    Lemon, Lime, and Bitters is exactly what it sounds like—and it's good for whatever ails you.

    The 4-Ingredient Drink I'm Making All Summer Long

    So simple and so tasty, just started making these recently.

    Feel free to remove if this isn't quite a cocktail enough. Thought this was the community of people who'd be most likely to want to give it a try.
