Pride and not wanting to sound like a dummy basically
Having worked in IT about 12 to 15 years ago I can honestly say I just stopped believing people when they told me they did things or checked things because 99% of the time it was just a flat out lie.
And taking them at their word meant wasting my own time because usually it was just a quick fix that I suggested in the first place.
It quickly, quickly taught me that 99% of people are fucking idiots, and that even the smart ones who actually knew what they were doing with a computer could be idiots too.
Then why has every study/instance of there being a UBI helped the people in that area?
That’s why you add caps to rent and interest as well, so that that basic income legitimately does go into people’s pockets and therefore the rest of the thinking

Are the Indian languages simply spoken faster?11·1 year agoFairly nonsense If anything I’d say it’s the other way around – there are lots of words in Hindi/Malayalam that you need 5 or 6 English words to describe

Yeah the monthly payments go down but you end up paying almost 20k more through interest over a longer time. That’s not saving

They spent the no-strings-attached cash mostly on housing, a study found61·1 year agoRent went up 7 percent this year across my state, and it’s already out of control to the point people are paying 4500 a month for a tiny one bedroom in the main city.
Don’t think everyone getting a thousand extra bucks is going to change that drastically. And anyway, if landlords do do that, put in a rent cap in addition.
LotrOrc@lemmy.worldto Movies@lemmy.world•Seems we've already got the plot for Barbie IIEnglish2318·1 year agoHonestly Barbie just wasn’t a good movie and it really shouldn’t have gotten any nominations
It was over hyped and it was trash marketing for Matel.
And if you guys watched the movie it literally ended with Ryan gosling learning absolutely no lessons and just being like oh ok I can act like a dick and I’ll still get what I want?
Killers of the flower moon was far far better than both Oppenheimer and Barbie. Honestly don’t think Oppenheimer should have received so many nominations either.

All those other cues make a difference in what is being said. As humans we react to facial and body expressions a huge amount in order to understand the context of a situation

Did you watch it or just read it?
LotrOrc@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Dave Chappelle fills Netflix special with jokes about trans and disabled people618·2 years agoHe basically says, as most comedians have, that you should be able to make fun of everyone.
He says (paraphrasing here) Im not making fun of trans people, they have a lot of representation, I’ll punch down on handicapped people instead
It’s not about handicapped or trans people, it’s about the fact that no matter what you joke about, someone will be offended, and you can’t live your life not offending everyone
Also, most of the special was about his dreams as a child, and how other people are dreamers too
He also goes on to give Lil Nas X a lot of props in the special, which if he hated lgbtq people, he probably wouldn’t.
The bits about trans people, which were few and far between, were mostly about how people.took and misconstrued his jokes about trans people in previous specials.
I’ve seen all of them, not once do I think he was specifically targeting and being dismissive of trans people
You can make fun of people without discriminating against them. Dave has pretty consistently made fun of everyone.
He makes fun of himself and his wife for being black and Chinese in this. I don’t see everyone screaming that he’s racist against black or Chinese people

That wasn’t the main topic for the entire thing it was a fairly small part

But his jokes really were not transphobic in this special at all
Watch the thing with context and see
