The idea behind Universal Basic Income (UBI) is that everyone gets it. Rich, poor, and everyone in between. There is no criteria (other than maybe citizenship) that would prohibit getting the money. That helps to prevent what you are describing.

I'm sure someone will figure out a way to make it terrible in some way, but we have to implement it first and then deal with the hiccups.

I do.

The better question is this: How does trying to make Biden lose the primary in Michigan help the people in Gaza?

Right... Because there is another real choice in this race.

The orange con-man is even friendlier to Israel and would help to escalate this tragedy.

I don't like the choices either, but the one that isn't Biden is so much worse!

I feel for you. I know that dealing with the average 10 year old can be difficult.

I keep think of Temple Grandin. The reason is because I wonder if there are any support groups that have some people with high functioning autism in them who might be able to help you to relate or help your daughter to communicate her feelings to you. I don't know just a thought.

How long has she been taking these meds? Is it possible that she does not feel like herself when she takes the meds? I remember when I was taking Adderall for ADHD the symptoms improved, but I didn't feel like the same person anymore. I wasn't me. I eventually stopped taking it for other health reasons but when I did I felt like I was me again.

Perhaps that is what is going on for her? Maybe this medication works great for improving interactions with her but it alienates her from herself?

Okay, fine. Sure. Now impeach every single one of those cowardly mutherfuckers who voted against the border bill last week!

And Democrats! Stop standing so much on your principles and call these mutherfuckers out for this shit! Repeat it endlessly until it sinks into the public mindset!

My first thought was anti-labor.

On an episode of BBC's: Planet Earth I saw an eagle grab a small goat, carry it off a cliff, and dropped it. Effective to be sure and kind of clever for the bird, but terrifying to watch.

You only need a key to activate Windows. Windows 10 and later will install and run just fine without activation.

The difference for me is Reddit started treating it's loyal users like sellable assets. I loved Reddit, it was a comfort zone for a long time, but they betrayed my trust, so I left and I have no intention of returning.

I doesn't matter if Reddit is really dead or not. They are dead to me.

This didn't stop being a problem for me until I made a long term effort to only allow my keys to be in my hand, in the ignition of my car, or in my pocket. Not my coat or jacket pocket either. My pants pocket. I may not always have my jacket, but I always take my pants. Opening a door and leaving them in the lock is also not allowed. I used to do that and then leave them there all night long. No matter how inconvenient it may be at that moment, this rule is never to be broken.

Keys are in the hand, ignition, or pocket only!

I never let go of them unless they are going in the ignition or my pocket.

It was hard at first and I continued to lose them for a while. But I kept at it and because I did this the pattern is now habit and my keys haven't been lost in years.

I've got fifty cents that says this dude watches an extraordinary amount of gay porn and somehow he thinks that is shameful. It isn't, but he thinks it is.
