UBI is supposed to cover basic needs, no? It doesn’t mean you’ll get the funds to cover the things you do to stave off boredom or fill your life with meaning. Thus people still work making, installing, and doing the less pleasing jobs, but there’s no longer the “work or starve in an alleyway” pressure in the background. It also provides leverage against abusive employers, as you don’t need the job to make rent and groceries. (Though people are willing to withstand a lot of abuse to reach their goals as well)

Games@lemmy.world•Nintendo filed a lawsuit against Pocketpair, Inc.English
5·1 year agoLong story short, the claims get much longer and restrictive through the application process. The example you asked about is currently undergoing a non-final rejection, and the claims will get much more restrictive in further iterations (assuming that the application has actual merit somewhere in the original dependent claims)

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What vegetables and fruits do you wish were commonly available in the US?
3·2 years agoLike I said, the smell alone caused my stomach to turn, so I avoided the fruit. Dad seemed to like it though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What vegetables and fruits do you wish were commonly available in the US?
4·2 years agoMy dad used to pick some up when he took our dog for a walk, and the way I would realize he had done so was by my suddenly feeling queasy due to the smell.
I hope you get the chance to try it sometime, but if you don’t know that it might also not be a bad thing :)
It seems like a missed opportunity to not call it King of the Ball-Z
