What about hookups though? I’d say there isn’t much human connection there, and certainly not friendship.

Stores should pay employees 30 minutes after closing time, or whatever is a realistic time it may take to serve the last client and close everything.

This is a common question in economics.

It’s called technological unemploymemt and it’s a type of structural unemployment.

Economists generally believe that this is temporary. Workers will take new jobs that are now available or learn new skills to do so.

An example is how most of the population were farmers, before the agricultural revolution ans the industrial revolution. Efficiency improvements to agriculture happened, and now there’s like only about 1% of the population in agriculture. Yet, most people are not unemployed.

There was also a time in England when a large part of the population were coal miners. Same story.

Each economic and technological improvement expands the economy, which creates new jobs.

There’s been an argument by some, Ray Kurzweil if I remember correctly, but others as well, that we will eventually reach a point where humans are obsolete. There was a time when we used horses as the main mode of land transportation. Now, this is very marginal, and we use horses for a few other things, but really there’s not that much use for them. Not as much as before. The same might happen to humans. Machines might become better than humans, for everything.

Another problem that might be happening is that the rate of technological change might be too fast for society to adapt, leaving us with an ever larger structural unemployment.

One of the solution that has been suggested is providing a basic income to everyone, so that losing your job isn’t as much of a big problem, and would leave you time to find another job or learn a new skill to do so.

Depends what.

Customer-facing work: you can stay open longer.

Office work: yeah, since productivity plummets, I don’t think it helps much, if at all.

We have a lot of dams, but I haven’t heard that we were pumping water into the reservoirs.

We also don’t have, like, fields of solar panels, as far as I know. I think it’s too cloudy here. But we have wind turbines, especially in coastal areas.

Don’t forget the music! Nightwish, Ensiferum, Finntroll, and many more…

Oh wow, I had no idea this existed. Awesome!

Coulnd’t we use solar to pump water into reservoirs, and then let the water flow through hydroelectrical dams when we need the electricity?

And it’s a real word. Neom is obviously not an eco-region lol

There are several recipes that call for mashed chickpeas. Especially sandwishes.

You can make burger patties with mashed beans or mashed chickpeas, and another ingredient that holds it together such as crumbled bread.

When you have cooked black beans, you can blend them, with onions, garlic, salt, and romarino, and use them as filling for soft maize tacos, with spicy sauce. I’ve also been meaning to try them as a dip for maize chips, haven’t done that yet.

There’s also something weird that I sometimes do, in that I’ve never heard of anyone else doing that or seen any recipe for that, it’s just something I do: I blend romano beans into a pizza sauce. I put a generous amount of sauce on my pizza, and lot of vegetables. I love my pizzas like this and it makes for a complete meal with protein.

We have a yellow lady in Montréal.

I much prefer the first. I’d say watch the first, any other are optional.

New friend: “hey, we live close, why don’t you come over?”

You: go full circle through the whole country to get there

Dictators are generally terribly ineffective. Read the Dictator’s Handbook.

Yeah, I tried with free generators without success too.

Prompt: Someone walking through groves of flowering trees. The flowers have pedals instead of petals. And pedals are falling from the trees.

The word is “immoral”. Amoral is outside morality. Like, a rock is amoral. Also, bees are amoral.

I don’t understand how throwing millions of dollars at lawyers will help if she’s indeed breaking the law. Wouldn’t that be something easy to prove for a regular lawyer?

It’s easy. It just takes 1 out of 100 men to send their dick pic to 300 women for them to have received dick pics from several men.

I understand now. Sorry about this. I hope you will be in a better siruation in the future.
