@ShadowJonathan we need #ubi

@ShadowJonathan We don’t have such system yet because for each million of freaks there’s a billion of normies who will abuse & scam the shit out of it
@d_olex @ShadowJonathan booooooo you're the reason we have a billion slaves and a million unhappy workers rather than a million fully realized people and a billion moochers. BOOOOOO

Feeling seen here.
Turning off TV's lazy-ass 'fitness' freaks leave blathering from idle machines at the gym.
Snowshoeing popular dog walks through the local park after a fresh sky drop.
Doing computer shit for pals who hate them.

@municipaladhesives @ShadowJonathan Sure I am, there’s no way to have sustainable society with 1/1000 proportion of decent people to moochers

@d_olex @municipaladhesives @ShadowJonathan an official assessment from a qualified psychologist certifying the freaks as fully qualified, would reduce the moochers

@ShadowJonathan In fact, there are guys who will go around obsessively fixing every clogged heating pipe in a 10-mile radius out of spite against the system that tries to stop them.
@raganwald @ShadowJonathan I *loved* that movie

@ShadowJonathan I've had someone show up in my mentions with an encyclopaedic knowledge of fountain pen restoration and repair, help me successfully nurse a vintage fountain pen back to life and then promptly disappearing into the ether, this is the sort of thing we are missing out on.
@Owlor I feel so called out by this thread.

Obsessive weirdos with extremely niche special interests MUST BE SPONSORED.
Who ELSE is going to do that work, if not the person who was born to do it?
There are enough people, and enough resources. There is no excuse not to do this.
-
@ShadowJonathan Not only that, but a lot of what people have to do to pay the bills is actively harmful. Imagine if all the people doing cold calls all day could just stay home and play PlayStation. Everybody wins!
David Graeber wrote a book about this, called "Bullshit Jobs"

@ShadowJonathan Truth. There's a Bay Area guy that does that here in the Central Valley after big rains.

@ShadowJonathan I see someone has found post10 on YouTube
-
@ShadowJonathan there would not be a loose screw within a 3 mile radius of me.
-
@ShadowJonathan how has nobody mentioned post 10 yet this is literally who the post is referencing
-
@ShadowJonathan The Tuttle/Buttle gap.
-
@ShadowJonathan This is a cornerstone of my worldview.
-
@ShadowJonathan I love Post 10!
@Hazzbenn @ShadowJonathan I might have done that once or twice.

I hate that whenever something like this is proposed, people act so incredulous and ask how one can be so sure that it would all work out, that there would never be anything that you needed to force someone to do. Like, yeah, maybe it wouldn’t work out perfectly, but why not try.
-
@ShadowJonathan@tech.lgbt I will literally learn just enough about any topic related to tech and make something in it just because I have an interest in it. But I'm forced to "specialize" and "follow the company style"
