My Least Favorite Things About Anti- UBI Discourse Is Always The Techbros Whining That "nobody Is Going

My least favorite things about anti- UBI discourse is always the techbros whining that "nobody is going to work anymore! People will just watch Netflix all day!" and I have 2 responses:

One of the reasons I’m so skeptical of universal basic income is that when you run a school you see just how strong the human impulse to not really do anything is.

I’m convinced 99% of humans would just watch insane amounts of Netflix and play a lot of video games.

1) Who the fuck cares. Who the fuck cares what people do with their time! That's kind of the fucking point!

2) People aren't going to stop laboring. Housework (look, it's right there in the word!) will still need to be done. So will maintenance on our homes and personal spaces. Children will still need carers, as will the elderly and disabled. There are millions of examples of ~work~ that we do all the time, uncompensated, that won't suddenly stop because we aren't forced to sell our labor to provide corporation's profits.

I'm not surprised that what is traditionally women's work is invisible to these dipshits, but it never fails to anger me.

Anyway. Join the IWW.

First line tag game

Thank you @smehur and @mourningliliesmorningglories for tagging me 🩶🩶 Read theirs here and here !!

Rules: share the first lines of ten of your most recent fanfics and tag ten people. If you have written less than ten, don't be shy and share anyway!

I’m going to be cheating a little, though. Cause rules are meant to be broken…

The Enchanted Bicycle | Genshin (xiaoven), T, 253

Venti sat atop a rock by the lake. In his hands laid a red wooden flute, spilling prolonged notes with the soft breeze of the wind.

I Will Put You Back Together | Project Sekai (ankoha), M, 1k

The robot opened its brown eyes and emptily stared at the person in front of it.

WIP: You’re My Magical Spell | MHA (bakudeku), T, 12k

“I’m going to a boarding school.”

WIP: I’m Not Paid Enough to Care | Genshin (xiaoven), T, 7k

“Welcome to Heyu Tea House, what’s your order?” Xiao asked indifferently.

I saw some people also doing their unposted works and I also wanna do that. I feel like those are at my head’s at.

Five Apologies and One Sincerest

The first time Harry saw Draco Malfoy after the Death Eater trials was at the Ministry of Magic. He wasn’t surprised to see him there, but by how they stumbled into each other. For starters, they did literally bump into each other.

Capacity to Give Him All He Needs

“Did you really have to bring me to this place?” Draco asked, taking a look around the restaurant.

Everything is romantic

When Harry comes down for breakfast, Sirius and Remus are at the table, the food is made and a cup of tea is already set for him.

That’s it. I kind of died a little, lol.

I’mma be honest, fam. I don’t know who to tag so if you see this and you haven’t done one yet, do it. Or not, but it is fun.

president zelenskyy is a stronger man than me because if two ignorant and deluded men like trump and vance started demanding i say please and thank you and calling me disrespectful like im a naughty child instead of a very traumatised and frustrated man trying to save his country from putin id have put them both in the ground with a single fucking punch

Also I've said this before but advertising is an industry that should be considered as pointless and harmful as fossil fuels.
