Yeah, I’m not sure how those would be affected overall. Housing unfortunately has been going up in price quickly for a long time despite largely stagnant wages. But I expect having a reliable stream of income would be a significant benefit for low income people to be able to afford at least what they would have otherwise. It’s an area that really warrants more attention regardless of whether UBI is implemented.
Liberals and neo-Nazis opposing Russia doesn’t imply they have much else in common. In the run up to WW2, part of what made fascism seem tolerable to moderates is that it would be a strong check against the spread of Marxism, making it appear as a lesser evil. But that common enemy wasn’t enough for liberal and fascist nations to get along for very long.
Increasing the money supply does lead to inflation, but it’s not as simple as you make it seem. It’s worth pointing out that generally people intend UBI to redistribute money rather than add to the current supply. If necessary, there’s no reason that you can’t have stronger price regulation for any destabilized industry.
Because even if there is inflation, that doesn’t mean prices go up evenly. For example, staple foods are fairly insulated from inflation because of steady demand and low barriers to entry. If it seems noticeably profitable, a lot of people can start producing it and undercutting each other. Industry collusion is very hard to achieve the more players there are that can sabotage the group.
If UBI covers only basic needs (implied by the B) that are purchased at steady amounts regardless, that opens up the lower classes to a lot more optional spending. So you would probably see the most price increases on things that are currently bought by the upper middle class. Expensive hobbies, premium brands of things with cheaper alternatives, and services in general would probably become more expensive from induced demand.
The history I stated was what I found from looking up the slogan. If it was co-opted to some other cause later, I genuinely do not know about it.
What are the fascist origins? From what I have read, it was first used by Taras Shevchenko, a poet who promoted Ukrainian independence from tsarist Russia and was described as “the founder of the revolutionary democratic trend in the history of Ukrainian social thought” and a utopian socialist. He didn’t seem fascist in the slightest. Then it was popularised by various nationalists in the Ukrainian War of Independence who established a short-lived parliamentary republic. That’s not fascist either.
Most deodorants are both deodorant and antiperspirant, but you can find options that are just the latter and otherwise unscented. You could also pair it with cologne if there are types that don’t bother you, but people mainly care about not smelling sweat.
When you start making people feel the need to defend themselves you’ve probably gone overboard on the generalization.
I am returning to Hollow Knight thanks to the Silksong hype. I had dropped it before because I was unsure where I needed to go to progress and was getting sick of running around the map trying to figure out which paths were actually available to me and which needed some equipment I didn’t have. Well, I did figure it out and basically have everything important unlocked so now I am enjoying it again.
If you do pick it up again, I have some advice. First, there’s a relic in an area called the Hive that will give you passive health regen if there’s a long enough gap between instances of damage. This means you can keep messing up a platforming section and as long as you don’t rush it you can heal back after messing up without needing new sources of soul. Second, there are some sections that are traversable with minimal equipment but become trivial with more. Deepnest was really annoying to me when I went through it and I frankly would have probably enjoyed it if I had one really helpful item unlocked (or even just a bit more health). Third, don’t worry too much about money. Normal enemies don’t give you much from farming and I think I’ve run out of stuff to spend it on mostly from other sources. So don’t be afraid to let it go. If you’ve unlocked the fast travel thing, just head back to vendors when you’ve noticed you accumulated a decent amount.
Like I said, I’m enjoying the game again after years away, but I really wish they had a better way of letting you know where you should go next and what isn’t available to you. Needing to go through zones again to check if something is now unlocked or not is tiresome. The pins help but they are not enough, and I didn’t think to reserve certain colors for certain types of obstacles the first time.
It depends on what you mean by current spending. I’m putting almost a third of my pre-tax income into savings already. If you mean I can live off of 65% of my default post-tax salary, sure. That probably wouldn’t change too much from my current expenses, and I would love the free time. If you mean 65% of what’s left over after my normal contributions, then that would be pretty tough. I consider my current lifestyle to be relatively frugal, so that would be very hard.
I’m actually trying to achieve the FIRE lifestyle, so the goal is getting to the point where average post-tax returns on investments is at least annual expenses. But I can’t do it by thirty.
But Genesis 3:16 seemingly has God setting man above woman, so a Christian could just use that instead.
To the woman he said, “I will make your pains in childbearing very severe; with painful labor you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.”
I suppose you could argue it only applies to a husband and wife, or possibly even just Adam and Eve specifically, but that seems unlikely given the first part applies to women as a whole.
There’s also Timothy 2:11-13, and Christians tend to hold the new testament in high regard.
11 A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. 12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
(from the NIV for both)
So it seems like the Bible explicitly has God himself commanding sexism, rather than it needing to be inferred from symbolism.
OP said “just mod it in urself” and “just alter the html code urself”, despite the fact that mods and browser extensions are almost always free. And the other things they mentioned still tend to have cheap options commonly available unlike other markets where everything has gone up together.
So it doesn’t seem like they are complaining about the price of things, but rather that no one has already made what they want. It strikes me as entitled. For all its sins, capitalism does tend to produce a lot of types of products so long as there is demand for them. I don’t think any economic system would be to blame for not making some very specific thing readily available.
Also, the way they worded it makes it sound like they think other people should be dedicating their time to these things because it’s less valuable than OP’s.
Which scenario do you think is more representative of the average cow’s life?
I think the undo button was Android-only
Yeah it’s not supported for my system so I can’t even launch it. But I was watching some friends stream it and it crashed for three out of four of them within two games. I don’t think any of us will be getting it after release.
I also read it. Saying it writes it off might be a slight overstatement, but it doesn’t accept trauma as valid justification for not doing something you are otherwise capable of. It generally treats it as a comforting lie to avoid recognizing something one doesn’t want to confront about oneself.
That is its most controversial claim, and with our modern understanding of things like PTSD it would certainly need to at least yield a lot of ground. I also remember it advised parents to not really praise or scold children in a way that passed authoritative judgement. Even as someone who thinks parents should generally trust kids to make their own choices more, that seems hard in practice and not likely to benefit a child depending on feedback from parents.
But I would still recommend it with the caveat that you are free to disagree with any of its claims. It’s overall very empowering and pushes the idea that someone’s worth is not dependent on the evaluation of others. It tries to convince the reader that they are capable of changing things they don’t like about themself rather than being deterministically fated to it like Freud might have you believe. With the amount of hopelessness people face now, it’s probably more relevant today than during Adler’s life.
I suppose you might also leave trash at your seat in a movie theater or restaurant. After all, cleaning up is someone else’s job and you don’t even work there. Plus, you can pat yourself on the back for contributing to that person’s job security with your added burden like some of the people here.
Probably not, but we still call non-dairy substitutes “milk” other than some countries that regulate the label. Language tends to go by what it resembles rather than the process to generate it.
I think that’s fairly common but not legally required, at least on a federal level.
Probably best to start contributing to an IRA after exhausting the employer match on a 401k. You have more flexibility with it and don’t have to worry about later rollovers. If you can max that out, then go back to the 401k until that is maxed, but most people aren’t able to do both each year.
Here’s a flowchart of the best order to spend money from one of the financial subreddits. The best yields are on the earlier investment types each year, so if you are reading this please try to save at least a little regularly. It will save you so much later on. If you don’t know what to invest in, historically an index fund like SPY or Vanguard will get you good returns with lower variance than individual stocks and doesn’t need to be closely managed. A 401k will have more limited options but I would still try to look for a wide market index fund.
