LOL top typo XD

Came here to say this!

And it sucks everywhere except NYC/SF/Austin/Boston

I probably should have gone into some kind of engineering.

Even if you had the option to pay this, there would still be ads, because greed cannot be satisfied. See: cable TV.

I was thinking he looks like he was born to be a gym teacher. He has plenty of energy, a balding head, and he sweats profusely.

You have to wonder if competing search engines could be spurring these claims somehow, culling such vast numbers of pages from Google's index is a great way to degrade the usefulness of Google's search...

Good point. It could be possible to tamper with the embassy's water supply in such a way that the effects would only be felt by someone who *lives* there...

I might get to see the first car get diverted into a schoolbus to avoid a 50-million-dollar superduperhypercar. I'll have to dress for the occasion with my best fingerless gloves and head-worn goggles.

First you'd need to root the car and run "echo 1 > /dev/morality/evil"

Some of the best humor in the world is a result of idiots on Facebook not recognizing satire!

I wish I could find one particular Facebook screenshot of a bunch of right-wingers who took the "abortionplex" article seriously. Just pure gold.

I think these kids will avoid FPS games like the plague after this, but not because of any moral lesson, because there is almost none to be learned about FPSes here - since as you point out, FPSes are just games.

The real lesson will be "last time I asked dad for an FPS, he took us on an awful and depressing vacation of epic proportions, so I'm not going to touch them with a 30 foot pole now."

To start paying mincome in amounts well over minimum wage, a government will have to start competing with private companies, producing cheap goods with robotic labor essentially for free and selling them at market-competitive prices until all private competition is put out of business. Then they could be sold at-cost - in other words, those items can be part of your mincome. Tax revenue becomes less important as the government transitions to paying mincome in goods rather than dollars - eventually the goal is for most mincome to be paid in goods such that tax revenue from businesses can cover any dollars needed.

Bones everywhere? That's ridiculous!

They'll be collected by the robots and made into elaborate thrones.

Why not?

You should also consider that much of the money made working goes into continuing to work. The costs of commuting and paying others to do things you don't have time for are nothing to scoff at if you're making anywhere near minimum wage.

Good question, of course there will be nobody to do it, and when this question hits the economy that will be the point when capitalism suddenly implodes.

In the meantime we're trying to fill the gap by producing more products for the 1% who can still afford to buy things, but even their consumption has limits - when this realization hits the economy, the question you posed will soon after.

Interesting, but completely off-topic.
