Say that someone living in Seattle or your US locale of choice wishes to _. Is this in violation of US federal or state law?

_ = 

set up a transparent, local, ~privately-run organization that took funds from charity donors and, once it hits some limit, start dispensing UBI for a set period of years ta a randomly chosen UBI recipient pool in the city? Possibly alongside a pool of donor-chosen specific individuals, to encourage giving* (‘If you’re in the top 20~5% of people pitching in by the end, you get to choose a person to be a recipient’; if you’re in the top 10%, you get 2, if you’re at the top 5%, you get 5, etc. Its program would be pretty simple: Kickstarter, but once we hit $(1000~0,000 people * [20~50K/year] * [5~30 years] we set up payouts for the recipients on schedule, you hand it off to an account you don’t control anymore that pays out, there’s one switch point within days of launch where the organization has none of that money anymore except that to keep a small staff to monitor those people across the years, collecting and formatting and analyzing and publishing anonymized outcome result data (doing so beingn part of its pledge/raison-d’etre of the organization)
* Ideally paired with a perception campaign to make giving money – staggering sums of money, even – to one’s poorer friends/acquaintances as a gift, and being transparent about it so one can get social credit from your local circle – is a nice thing to do that norms about money and friendship should allow. i.e. Our norms about money and friendship should be such that the act of giving money as a gift, large amounts of money that come without expectation of any debt/favor incurred (as the best-given gifts are), is accepted and even encouraged. Another perception campaign should make receiving and accepting cash gifts as a good normal thing to do.

This is actually really funny. In high school my humanities teacher told us a story about one of the Europe trips he had gone on with the school a few summers past. So him and the group of kids were in the middle of Rome and the tour guide had gotten lost. They could figure out how to get to some church they were going to see. All of a sudden one of the students like call attention to himself. He says he knows where to go and just start walking around the streets, taking back roads and side streets and within 20 mins they’re at the church they needed to get to. My teacher asks the kid if he has every been to Italy before. He says no, he just knew where to go because he played Assassins Creed Brotherhood.

I have a real problem fighting down the impulse to just reach down into the frying pan and flip whatever it is I’m frying over with my bare hands. Like I’ll be fiddling around down there with some fucking spatula or whatever and some part of me will be like “you can just reach down if you’re quick and precise enough. It’ll be fine don’t worry”

Human brain: i’m not putting my hands in the fucking frying pan

Monkey brain: fingers nimble…………. dextrous

@akaiastuff what do you mean “fighting the impulse”? You… you actually. Fucking. Do. This.

I was high off my ass last night and had this dream where I was in this dense ass forest and sitting there was a tall woman. She was so tall I couldn’t see her face but she was wearing gold and I was like “uh…hi?” And she said “I made you, do you know that?” And I nodded and she was like “I hear your thoughts. Why do you hate my creation? Why do you try to destroy yourself? I made you perfect as you are. Please don’t break my heart”. Then she started crying and it flooded and I woke up with fucking heart palpitations like what does it Mean™️????
