And who decides what "good" art is? That's completely subjective!
Also basic income should be universal, instead of restricting it more.
If someone wants to live as a failed artist on basic income: let them. Perhaps they even find an art form that they like if they have enough time to figure it out.
Yes, it's a cultural thing. In our culture. Hence why I interpreted as such. If the whole thing had happened in the UAE that would be a different thing.
Their explanation is way too weird. I think we can use occam's bisexual razor here:
I would bet that at least one of the hand holders is gay/bi and too afraid to say it... Which is fine. Sometimes it takes a bit of time (and handholding) to figure yourself out.
I think Trump would love to start a war: distraction from the Epstein files, a nice scapegoat for economic hardship, the possibility to grab even more power under the guise of wartime emergencies, ...
Hell, if it takes long enough he could postpone the next election.
And how did no one think about a fallback in case of a outage? I bet some of the tech people thought about it and management said: "No, we don't want the consumers to have a functioning unit without internet access. We need the data!".
Btw. same with the new Windows 11 setup. There's no technical reason for a computer without internet access to deny the installation.
You know how the right tried to twist the truth? They told, on camera, that Trump wants to continue SNAP but legally can't.
I really want to see a reporter ask them how that fits with reality now.
