To be fair, dementia is not much of a hindrance for making GOP policies.

To put it mildly. 😋

Shouldn’t there be leniency for killing a killer?
Yes I know it’s about “sending a message”, but messages go both ways.

If you are using Firefox and have ublock Origin:
Go to: tools->Add-on and themes->uBlock Origin, in the menu beside the on-off toggle choose preferences. Uncheck uBlock filters. and click apply.
Now choose a youtube video in another tab.
Go back to uBlock preferences, and enable the filters again and apply.
Now you can play video in YouTube again without commercials.

If you don’t have Firefox install it, and If you don’t have uBlock Origin install it.

Because Americans have so goddam many terms for similar things. Single payer, universal, public, public insurance, private insurance, community based, employer paid. The current system is called “Mixed non-universal”. So I used a description instead. And you knew what I meant.
BTW how many languages do you speak? It’s pretty low to criticize minor mistakes by someone writing in a 2nd language.
I write better American than many Americans!!!

I would have agreed on the “probably” until Musk basically bought his way into max corruption with a seat right next to the president.
Those 40 billion he has practically lost on Xitter, will most likely be gained already within the first year.
There is no doubt IMO that USA is now de-facto an oligarchy.

Apart from also being an oligarchy, yes it is capitalist.
But here (Denmark) we would technically call it SUPER capitalist.
Because Denmark is also capitalist, but like the rest of EU, we balance capitalism with general interests of society. Where USA favor capitalism way more.

I attack you for stating the obvious, which seems like an attempt to make it seem like “free” healthcare doesn’t really matter, and cost the same as privatized through private insurance. When in fact it is way cheaper overall.
In Europe healthcare cost are about half of what they are in USA, and life expectancy is longer, and old age quality of life is higher mostly because of better old age health.

Oh for fucks sake, I wrote state paid exactly to prevent this bullshit. Obviously we pay the state through taxes.
This is such a tired argument, and doesn’t change that single payer or whatever words Americans use to describe what we in Europe merely call healthcare, but healthcare for all is so much cheaper to run, that the money saved easily cover the poor that can’t afford to pay if they had to.

Your moronic parroting of extreme right wing talking points have zero impact on a reality that is way different from what you try to manipulate people into thinking.

Same not better. And that’s the thing, when equal healthcare is the norm, it becomes surprisingly normal. Nobody gives it a second thought.

Once upon a time, I thought the arrival of the internet would mean ordinary people would be better informed. But Trump being elected twice has proven me wrong.
It’s not used as much for information as it is used for misinformation and propaganda.

In the 70’s I thought better information would end religion, it’s insane how quickly we are getting absolutely nowhere.

I have come to realize, that I’m VERY naive in some respects. Hard not to turn into a cynic.

It’s hard as one having free (state paid) healthcare in EU, to imagine anything but just going to the doctor, and the doctor seeing to it, that you get the correct treatment.
No paperwork, no hassle, no bill.
I can’t imagine why USA hasn’t introduced something similar yet, but prefer all that bureaucracy that only makes the whole process way more expensive. Just to make sure some unemployed poor guy doesn’t get free treatment!!
USA is a psychopathic society.

Ah you must be a lion then, they are always so aloof.
Just kidding, it’s nonsense and I don’t believe it one single bit…

But ARE you a lion?

If yes: I KNEW IT! It was so obvious!
If no I’m x: Ah that explains why I mistook you for a Lion. X have many of the same traits.

Absolutely, sharing horoscopes during lunch break used to be very common.

That’s fine, we buy firewood every year, Now I will absolutely prioritize a dealer using Buffalox units for it.

It makes me so proud to now be a part of the Imperial system, I may even switch to using it. 😋

Yes that is absolutely true, and since it’s milk there will be a few percent variance it requires slightly less. But still very good to get the ballpark easy, to check a more accurate calculation isn’t way off because some typo or something.
Easy calculation between heat, energy, weight and volume is so cool, and actually quite often practical to make quick estimates.

200° F is 93 C.
And now we have it converted to Metric, we can easily calculate that heating 1 liter, is 1 kg is 1000 grams = 1000 calories per degree it needs heated, so if it was cooled at 5° C you would need to heat it 88° C = 88000 calories to heat it to 93° C.

Isn’t Metric cool? I challenge you to do a similar calculation using Imperial without calculator or looking up ratios. 😋

Not sure if you’re being sarcastic but “digital only” means the only way to put games on the device is via digital downloads

I’m pretty sure the keyword here is download and not digital, what other kind of download do they imagine?
I was absolutely being sarcastic about calling downloads digital, since it’s the only kind there is. Even an old acoustic coupler with 75/300 baud is still a digital download, despite being on an analogue line. Which in principle everything up until we got mobile and fiber were. Except ISDN

Each company tries this because it effectively eliminates the third party/aftermarket sales and gets them a monopoly on prices.

Which is why the same attempt originally failed very very badly on Xbox. So yes I absolutely agree on your last part.
Personally I wouldn’t mind that it is download only, if I could save the copy, and buy the downloads as freely from competing shops as used to be the case with installation discs.
