Literally anyone who’s read the results of any other time this experiment has been tried. Why are we still trying to prove the concept?

Here’s the link if anyone wants it!

Universal basic income seems to improve employment and well-being

Finland’s two-year test of universal basic income has concluded that it doesn't seem to disincentivise working, and improves recipients’ men

[kayasurin]

We’re still trying to prove the concept because in the West, Big Business and their owners, The 1%, are screaming at the thought of having to give up a little money so everyone can get universal income that supports life - meaning jobs either have to pay you to put up with the literal shit or people can walk away from them without becoming homeless.

[comicgeekscomicgeek]

Our entire system is basically based on people being so afraid of homelessness and starvation that they’ll accept any shit job for shit pay.

White allies do better....

Stop with the "oh well I'm white and i agree" or the "I'm white and I'm sorry for us" on posts about racism

Stop with the lengthy apologizes when you do something small like write the above on posts and someone calls you out on it

Stop asking me for my opinon on what this famous black person did

Stop asking me for my opinion on if a thing is racist or not

Stop asking me to explain basic racist shit to you

Stop telling black people about the time you called your racist uncle out on his racism or the protests you went to

Stop asking for my opinion on things you did that you're scared is racist/has racist undertones

Stop with the white guilt... It ain't helpin nobody

Stop asking one black person for their opinion on something about race... You gotta ask more black people if you want an accurate representation of something because not all of us are the same/think the same thing

Stop treating black people like we're "professors" on racism

Google is free. Can y'all please start treating black people like actual people and not someone to teach you about racism. It's exhausting

[risingpilots]

White people can and should reblog this

[ganon]

i love how no one on this site knows anything about lgbt history. fucking obviously "bi" literally means "two," but that label was put upon us by cishets who only recognize gender as two sexes with the purpose of pathologising us. we reclaimed it and redefined it to suit the ACTUAL meaning of our sexuality, which, as according to the bisexual manifesto (1990), which was literally even titled Anything That Moves, bisexuality has always been an attraction to all genders. every single one. not any 2, not 2 or more. all genders.

[thatswhywelovegermany]

Honestly, as a German I can not quite understand the obsession of the English speaking world with the question whether a word exists or not. If you have to express something for which there is no word, you have to make a new one, preferably by combining well-known words, and in the very same moment it starts to exist. Agree?

[latveriansnailmail]

Deutsche Freunde, could you please create for me a word for the extreme depression I feel when I bend down to pick up a piece of litter and discover two more pieces of litter?

[thatswhywelovegermany]

die Welt = world

-ung = -ing

die Vermüllung = littering

ver- = see before

zweifeln = to doubt

-ung = see before

die Verzweiflung = despair, exasperation, desperation

die Umweltvermüllungsverzweiflung = …

[serhumfreysbrokencollarbone]

This is a german compound on the spot master class and I am LIVING

[thatswhywelovegermany]

#my german is still too basic for this but I desperately want a compound word for how much these compound words piss me off

das Monster = monster

das Wort = word

der Groll = grudge, anger, malice, rancor

der Monsterwortgroll = …

Monster=monster // wort=word // bildung(s)=formation

unfähigkeit (s)=incabability  // angst=anxiety

verzweiflung(s)=desperation  // rückzug(s)=retreat // ecke=corner

=the corner in which you retreat when you´re desperate because of your fear when being unable to form monster words

[shiplocks-of-love]

*eye twitch*

But what I want to see now is two germans arguing over the construction of one of these monster words.

[melmey]

@shiplocks-of-love I don’t think that will happen. The words make perfect sense. I think if German is your mother tongue you get a feeling for combining words, like a 

Monsterwortbildungsgespür

Monster = monster 

Wort = word 

Bildung(s) = formation

Gespür = intuition

every time i see someone like "we're raising our kids without gender stereotypes... no princesses!!!" i want to Scream

[captaingondor]

you're not raising them without stereotypes, you're teaching them femininity is bad. tell both boys and girls stories of princesses, and tell them both other stories too. and if anyone's favorites are the stories of princesses, tell them more stories about princesses. it is not that complicated.

[bizarrolord-deactivated20241123]

Plus in trying to eradicate gender stereotyping like this, you are replacing it with another system of gender stereotyping based on being as contrary as possible to to the old system...so, kudos?

[clowniconography]

i hate when memes become outdated and i have to deprogram myself from referencing them anymore. whenever my mouth says “this is so sad” my brain immediately follows it up with “alexa play despacito” but i’m not ALLOWED to say that anymore

[clowniconography]

how DARE u make this post uplifting and cute

[hollowboobtheory]

If my parents can use slang from the 80s without even feeling self-conscious then I can use a meme that’s a little stale

[literallyaflame]

dude this is random but like. my mom works at a credit union, and a while ago, this totally domestic, collared dog came up to their door and was like.... barking to get in?? it’s a small credit union so they brought the dog inside to keep it safe while they got in contact with the owner

anyway, the owner showed up, looking haggard, and was like “yeah, she keeps managing to get loose. i’m surprised she came here, she usually goes to Wells Fargo.”

and my mom was like.... what?? and the dog owner was like “yeah ever since she started getting loose, she.... always goes to banks. we can’t figure out why.”

anyway the dog is fine and (they’re gonna crate train her or something) but how bananas fucking Wild is it that this dog escaped, multiple times, specifically to go to the bank???? what the fuck

[vague-humanoid]

It's a record. So when those of the next generations claim "people didn't know any better. It's just how it was. It was normal" our descendants can point to what we leave as proof that accepting the status quo is never a given.

gamer wife: oh no! f :( is there anything i can do?

me: thanks for paying respects and for respecting my boundaries. and no this is something that not even your epic gamer love can fix. you’re the best thing to ever happen to me and i thank gamer jesus everyday that i met you while you were taking out the trash at the gamestop and i was dumpster diving behind the gamestop.

thinkin about a baby of my acquaintance & how when her parents are hanging out & chatting, she'll almost fully participate in the conversation--politely watching who's talking, saying something approx the same length & tone of what her parents are saying, occasionally using a questioning cadence & looking at someone specific for an answer, laughing when they laugh--doing everything except actually using any recognizable language

[chamomilegeode-deactivated20221]

this baby also once tipped me a granola bar at work. she'd been watching everyone in line very closely & when it was her parent's turn, at exactly the right point in the transaction for a tip, she pickpocketed her mom's granola bar & shoved it in the tip har
