Sooo, why is the gf on a leash?

Okay, I had a listen. Basically his arguments are:

• People don’t want it, it is forced through ruse by socialist politicians.
• It removes freedom from patients to choose their insurance, health care provider etc.
• It removes freedom from physicians to choose their working methods and living/practicing location. The state will control every aspect of their profession.
• By slippery slope, it’s going to lead to the same for every profession.

So it’s an attack point to impose socialism in America. Eh.

Somebody listened to this and can tell me what his rationale was? The unspoken reason is probably like less taxation for the rich and profit in the medical industry, but what are the “sensible” arguments he would be brave enough to formulate in public at the time? If it’s about medical research and innovation, it could be assured by the government but “it’s not the job of the state to ensure the people’s well-being”? Or “people will get lazy if their health is not on the line”?

Some people use quotes for emphasis, though. So, not sure if this faculty’s on our side.

I’d argue it’s the only correct thing though. Sure, it’s through reflection, but reflection is absorption and re-emission so the light really comes from the moon.

I disagree. That Crowdstrike crashes is one thing; the issue here is that Windows suffers such a widespread crash, whether it is because of Crowdstrike or for any reason.

Looks like it does the job perfectly. Thanks!

We need a comedy necromancy community

It’s a fourth-wall breaking game, a game whose characters are aware that they’re in a game. Their personalities, knowledge, and awareness change throughout the game and the consistency is limited to “pathes” that you take. The devs are playing with and making fun of the rules.

No idea. Maybe donations, fees from conventions, ad revenue…?

It’s apparently early in development, but there’s an ActivityPub implementation of wikis made by one of Lemmy’s dev.

Why wouldn’t the friends like it then?

Damn I’m surprised you say that. I’m a native french speaker I’ve always thought that portuguese is a godsend. So fewer bullshit, so much more rational…

Yeah, your teacher seemed to deal in absolutes: “it always happens” or “it will never happen again”. I think that events can always happen (again) but they don’t have to.

The important is now ensuring that they stay impartial and resilient even if populists are in power.

In french, we call this “useful vote” and it sucks when it is a crucial strategy… but in a flawed electoral system it unfortunately is.

Of course. And I’ll continue to do so as long as advertisement is detrimental to my online experience. If it wastes my time by forcing me to watch an ad before a video, if it distracts me from reading a text because of animations, if it tries to scam or shock me, I’m better off blocking it. I’m not against advertisement as communication that a useful product or service exists, I’m against advertisement abuse and greed.

I’ll happily pay for, donate to, or otherwise support services important to me that need and deserve it.
