oops, true! i’ve corrected my first post

[padme meme] and everywhere else, right? 😅

a full ban for any and all pervert glasses would be much more useful

idk, i’m wary of a study doing something that isn’t UBI, but still calling it UBI, then using its not-UBI-findings to frame UBI in a negative light

maybe i’m just jaded / overly suspicious, but it feels like something that employers are going to point to, to say that UBI won’t help people’s wellbeing long-term & will only result in a decrease in the workforce. hopefully i’m wrong here though! 🤞😮‍💨

this isn’t universal basic income, UBI is supposed to cover everything someone would need to survive: rent, bills, food, clothing, education, healthcare, etc.

if they wanted to boost education, they need to provide enough flippin’ money that the education is free.

this just in: the barriers-to-access that intentionally prevent access are fulfilling their intended purpose 😒

i’ve found one that’s called “italian design pumba” and its “intelligent obstacle evasion” is just bumper sensors. there don’t appear to be any cameras, infrared, lidar, phone apps, etc., which is exactly what i’m looking for!

you might have some luck looking for older brands/models along those lines from second-hand shops and refurbished resellers. they’re way cheaper too, as a nice bonus

*should be replaced

someone who’s too sick (or deceased) to provide a health update also won’t be able to resign.

If I file once, am I done forever?

Unfortunately, no. While the opt-out of sale request should last indefinitely, California’s privacy law still allows companies to collect information without asking for permission first in most cases. That means data brokers are likely to continue to collect information for profiles of you—but they will will have less data and be limited in how they use it after an opt-out request. New data brokers may also register with the state after you file your request. And DROP won’t stop companies who aren’t registered data brokers, like Google, from collecting and sharing your personal information.

here’s hoping that it’s a “foot in the door” sort of starting point that will be expanded to this data not being collected en masse in the first place 🤞
