It was two days ago, I guess.

True, except that being a mental illness means it is not fraud and vice versa.

And presumably all the entrants in the Women's category for these games are actually men ?

Well played.

"And, there's that much desert that gets sun 24/7,"

This is the intellectual level of people opposed to renewables.

As a proud leftist I must ask what the fuck you're talking about.

You're taking about orthogonal things.

UBI usher much different from what could claim in unemployment, housing benefits etc is Tue not working already. It doesn't preclude investment of the dirty your taking about. Most people aren't content not working, and aren't content with the minimum.

The whole notion of a universal income is the stupidest idea in the entire history of stupid ideas.

It is not. The main arguments "against" it are ones based on misunderstanding of what it is. Viz:

when your income is dictated by Government.

My man, what do you think UBI actually IS?

The only way the government dictates your income under UBI is if you have none, which is exactly how it is now.

With UBI you get a fixed income from the government regardless of any other income you may or may not make. The idea is generally you replace a lot of the existing benefits (income support, pensions, the whole lot) which have to be applied for, administered, policed for fraud and etc with UBI, and you then bump the taxes a bit so people earning some target income basically see no net change, thereby ensuring that you don't just print money, and the overall change to tax receipts vs money spent is basically zero.

An interesting follow on is that you could shift from the somewhat complex tax system to a flat tax system effectively without leaving behind progressive taxation.

Another interesting follow on is you may be able to entirely scrap minimum wage and its enforcement.

Will it actually work in practice? Who knows, but currently governments are jumping through a lot of expensive hoops to achieve outcomes which mathematically drop out naturally from UBI and flat tax.

Do what you like, it's your choice.

I don't know what people here find it impossible to tell the difference between being information you don't like and being told what to do. Booze is bad for you. You should probably eat less meat and more veg if you want to improve health outcomes. You're not obligated to prioritize your health above all.

And "well this person did a dumb shit thing and died" isn't counter evidence to the claims being made.

I'm personally not going to stop eating meat and drinking booze. I'd rather the article was wrong, but the evidence has been mounting for years. It's not wrong no matter what I want. That's the implacable nature of reality. You can make a hug box with like minded people, post stories of people dying on stupid diets, convince yourselves it's all wrong etc etc etc but while you can fool each other, you can't fool reality.

Do you actually understand the language you're writing in?

No one's telling you what to eat. Drinking booze is bad for your health. Basically that's the size of it. It's true whether you like it or not. I'll keep drinking booze because basically I like the stuff and I think the trade-off I now know about it's worth it. That's the difference between information and instruction that you are either unwilling or unable to grasp.

No one should censor science because you personally don't like the results.

Also you're a hypocrite. You keep telling me what I should and shouldn't be doing whole whining (incorrectly as it is) about other people doing the same.

You are a snowflake because you're offended about facts.

They're telling you what to not do IF you want to maximize your health. It makes you angry and defensive because you want to do those things but don't want to know they're bad for you. Well, tough.

Drinking whisky and having a beer is bad for you. I'm still going to do it.

Eat what you want but don't tell others what they should eat. It's like religion. Thy shall keep it to yourself.

Science is for everyone not too delicate to have facts they don't like.

hehe wow aren't you a delicate little snowflake!

Here's news for you, the facts don't give a shit about your feelings. Choose to trade off health for meat like many of are doing, but don't whine that you now have information about that tradeoff.

I keep telling my 28 year old daughter that she dare never not stop her daily yoga practice. I hope she can do that.

Daily? That's kind of extreme, I don't think my wrists could take that. Actually scratch that I know they couldn't.

Also life starts to bite at some point and carving out time every day gets really hard, which no amounts of threats, cajoling and dire warnings of the future will fix. The key for me is to avoid the need to carve out time specially for exercise. I live in a city and don't have a car, so the mere act of going anywhere is exercise, especially my commute.

Anyhoo you sounds European so you can move somewhere where you can get around everywhere you need on an acoustic bike, rather than an electric (or motor) one, if you can't keep up the gym schedule reliably.
