It also suggests that by 2029 we could have “an incredibly luxurious universal basic income.” Which seems absurd here in 2026.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's your impression of a person who says they're Machiavellian?
12·12 days agoUh… it was like the default example for “evil leader” before Hitler.
Sounds like someone who wants attention. Enjoys the edginess and obvious absurdity in a statement like that.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Does Internet still care looking onto steganographed/enciphered data?
11·15 days agoIf it’s on the internet archive, then it’s probably been scanned by AI.
Not sure I understood your question.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Are there any story ripoffs that are actually good?
1·17 days agoAnother example of the ‘gone native’ plot line in the wake of Dances With Wolves. Pocahontas had the advantage of Dances With Wolves coming out first. So it smoothed some of those edges.

2·17 days agoThere was a YouTube trend of making Avatar trailers with the audio but then using the graphics for movies like Fern Gully and Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001). Turns out there are a lot of ‘going native’ movies.

Avatar (2009) is Dances with Wolves (1990) but in space.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Could my daughter, who is a lawyer, defend my son’s girlfriend, who killed my cousin’s family in a DUI accident?
6·18 days agoIs there any chance the daughter would be on the witness list or be deposed? Because I think that’s the line where it would stop making any sense. A judge isn’t gonna want one of the lawyers on the witness list, because then do they cross examine themselves? It would require a 2nd lawyer for at least those parts.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do Superheroes or villians get their suits on is there like a magical zipper or something? Or how do they do it?
3·19 days agoThe Flash keeps his suit inside his ring. Clark Kent wears the Superman outfit underneath. Batman is night time only. Wonder Woman has an invisible airplane to change in if she needs to, but mostly she just dresses like that. Green Lantern, the ring’s powers create the costume.
People enjoy costumes. There’s a category for it at the Oscars. It’s a career occupation.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is it actually healthy for people to have a place to confess things anonymously?
4·22 days agoThere is a conflict still. First, you want unfiltered confession meaning no moderation. But then you don’t want it to become a safe space for criminals, which would require moderating. If you don’t moderate the content, it’ll quickly take on a life of its own and that won’t be the helpful thing you’re imagining.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is it actually healthy for people to have a place to confess things anonymously?
2·22 days agoThere are so many ways for this to become incredibly toxic and unhelpful, my first thought is it could become a support group for all types criminals/abusers to share tips and tricks anonymously.
At least the Catholics and therapists have someone there trying to steer things in a helpful direction. Like maybe you could tweak this idea to anonymous therapy rather than anonymous confession, and then people could view people going through therapy online and maybe find helpful tips for their own lives.

8·22 days agoIf a room becomes toxic, people simply stop entering it.
How would this have stopped 4chan? People still go to those toxic message boards.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's an online service you happily pay for?
4·24 days agoThere are those Visa cards that charge you like $4 every time you load money on them. Western Union does a similar thing too. It’s how people with bad credit/no ID get a card.
