I've reached $90 so far- a pretty good start, thank you!
Can anyone else chip in tonight and help me keep the ball rolling to avoid a last minute panic? I MUST not be late this week- managers have warned they WILL NOT give extra time.
Please keep sharing?

I've talked a bit about social media debates regarding Guillermo del Toro's Creature but the one thing I'm still baffled by is the person who said if Victor had killed Harlander on purpose, it wouldn't have been murder but mercy, because Harlander was terminally ill (and trying to survive btw).

Keep in mind that I already know that a big UBI voice has advocated significantly reducing actual people's actual already-inadequate SSI were UBI to be implemented.
I keep thinking about this comment about it making sense to cut back SSI if people are getting UBI.
But SSI is already far below what people actually need to get by. Even with UBI of $2200/mo, that's still far below what is needed monthly to get by in Indiana ($4155).

So the thing is:
a. there are people who genuinely enjoy tasks and fields the majority of people find tedious or gross or just want to avoid and don't need to be coerced into doing them.
b. UBI should provide for treats and travel and hobbies because otherwise it's still just coercion.

Always grinds my gears when people say "No one would work drudge jobs if there was a UBI"
But even staying completely capitalist, I disagree. If I received a baseline living-wage UBI, and then I was offered REWARDS for drudge jobs, I'd take it! I want to save up for treats and travel and hobbies!

It would be extremely cool if a bunch of people called payment processors over Black Friday weekend to ask why they're telling people what they can and can't buy with their own money. This holiday season, give the gift of calling payment processors over Black Friday weekend
Spoke with a source who told me the call volume is so high, a call center for both Mastercard & Visa is bringing out pizza and ice cream so agents don’t quite amid the rush. Long waits are causing dropped calls.
What you’re doing is working. Call MC & Visa.

Another thing—I was recently at a dinner with educators and authors put on by my publisher to talk about our books, but instead we all talked about (and ironed out) the ways this tech is adversely impacting classrooms and what to do about it. It leaves no room for much else.

One personally frustrating thing about the big AI push is that it forces people to assess it in a hurry, which makes people careless. It kinda smells like a scam to me if someone’s hurrying you along, cultivating urgency in you, well before you know where they’re taking you.

Agreed and also, as a trans person, I gotta say. Choosing a name SO OFTEN only underlines your "otherness" in the eyes of society. The whole debate feels so... something, to my queer self, but I can't put my finger on it. Just that it feels not great.

Ran across a thread where the replies were all claiming naming the Creature *anything* is disrespectful to Mary Shelley because him being nameless in the book is important and it's like...yes, it is important in the book. But the book is tragic. He's alone forever. That's good story but sad.

This is like Van Halen's 'No brown M&Ms' stipulation in their rider where they knew they had to re-check all the important stuff if the brown M&Ms bit wasn't followed.
If they're willing to cut a corner for NPC dialogue because they think it's unimportant, where else did they cut corners?
