There are UBI advocates who say that UBI won't make people work less. And I think if it doesn't make people work less than it isn't enough.

Little old Italian lady: Do you have zucchini?
Me: Yes, right here.
Lady: Is how much?
Me: $2.99 a pound.
Lady: It's usually $1.49.
Me: Yes, in the summer.
Lady, pauses, then grabs two: I put it in a soup.
Me: Oh nice, what kind are you making?
Lady: You will not fantasize about my soup.
And then she walked away. "You will not fantasize about my soup" will be in my head forever. I love you, little old Italian lady.

I guess the reason all that Backrooms stuff has never really fazed me is because I worked in on-site networking support for a while, and literally every city's downtown district is just Like That once you get off the beaten path. Not just the really big cities, either; the one I'm currently living in has a population of less than 250 000 – metro area included – and a downtown area about six blocks across, and the service corridors still manage to do some House of Leaves shit. At one point I was trying to map the route of a misbehaving network cable, started out in a shopping mall parking garage, and ended up surfacing in the basement of the casino across the street. Totally unsecured – apparently neither the mall's administration nor the casino's managers knew that particular service corridor existed.

Speaking of weird cats, I've got a few Scottish folds in. This is the most outgoing gal and the only shorthair so far. I might be getting more.
Their issues are largely social and joint related. They all stand very flatly on their feet--- I'll try to get pics later to show that. All folded cats are afflicted by arthritis to some degree. These guys are no exception.
It's sad. This gal is maybe 7 months old and already dealing with joint problems.
