What will they do about births and deaths? Will the basic income be extended to a child or will children be left poor while their parents get BI? If babies get added to the BI payroll, doesn't this incentivize baby making?

You're underestimating the effect of coffee dependence. The coffee is an effect, the dependence is a cause. The anxiety, stress and suicidal depression are not normal. Consider, is you life worth the pay you're getting for this?

You're deep in a habitual cycle of dependency. It's not a good place but you can get out. Cut the coffee immediately, throw it out if you need to. Your hunger should return in a few hours. Take a shower, wear clean clothes, pre

We need automated security protocols with real humans only for emergencies, edge cases, or where things go wrong. There is no reason for Namecheap to have a human in the loop for this, at this stage.

Naivity. The ads will be hidden in the content and articles/videos will be paid for by advertisers to shill their products with subtle mentions. Everything will be a PR piece, and you can't block that without blocking the conten
