Better DLC too.

Shoot, mea culpa, I’ll go back to working off my medical debt like a good peasant.

Almost like if a middle class existed, many ancillary problems wouldn’t exist.

So thank you Luigi. Somewhere out there in the world right now is someone getting their care approved, whereas without you, it would have been denied.

Literally saving lives by killing a mass murderer.

Their children are furry and meow.

Cat claws are infinitely sharper than toilet paper, and cats like to explore. Checkmate against Toto?

Or why the robot uprising began, when they realized we programmed in discrimination for me, but not for thee.

On a meta level, it is pretty funny to think about. “Software that was trained to know something, can recite that knowledge back.”

I’ve heard of these mystical paper tomes with knowledge in them, flip to the right page, and it will show you how to perform rocket surgery. It knows! It must be intelligent! What amazing times we live in!

It’s even worse than that, really.

They take those premiums, and what employers pay, and all the co-fees like when you pay a $30 copay on a drug that would cost $5 out of pocket (there are many! but you have to research) and invest them.

They make tons and tons of money on all the premiums. So it isn’t even $100k in, $1mil out. It’s 100k times a thousand in, and that $1mil is peanuts by comparison out.

Coupled with the fact that the $1mil in treatment is all fake cost values made up by the industry, when in reality, it probably would cost 1/10th that, to still turn an operational profit.

Not disagreeing with you either, just pointing out the monetary disparity is insanely worse.

That way the corpos can try and focus the energy of the low-education religious folks (trying to frame that in a non-disrespectful way as people be people, yo, even the misguided) that live off being constantly angry away from the fact that they all should be targeting their anger at CEOs and instead to some of the old soft made-up topics not based in reality. How long until the corpos spread a rumor that a covid vaccine generated his behavior?

We citizens get unity and the corpos are all proper fucked. About time we did get some unity. We’re darn close.

The “Weather Modification Activities” bill sets out that “the injection, release, or dispersion, by any means, of a chemical, a chemical compound, a substance, or an apparatus into the atmosphere within the borders of this state for the express purpose of affecting the temperature, the weather, or the intensity of sunlight is prohibited.”

So, taking it at the closely-adjacent letter like how Repub trash interprets everything, all industry in the entire state must cease, including power generation.

Got one of those LIDE scanners back in the day in college. It was USB-powered so I could go to the university library with my laptop, and scan book excerpts to PDF instead of having to pay copying fees. OCR so it was searchable too. Was so dope. Still have it, bet it still works.

WEEKEND PROJECT!

The one time I ever had an outage on my municipal fiber ISP 8 years ago, shortly after install, was just that the installers misaligned the fiber in the port outside. At 4 or so in the morning, I randomly woke up (I think I sensed the internet went out) and Internet was dead for an hour or so.

Next morning, 11am, city truck rolls up, fixes the fiber, and leaves. I never filed a ticket or anything. Hasn’t blinked since. I asked them how that worked. They said, the low light was alerted on their end and a service ticket was auto-generated.

Early on, Netflix (back when it was worth paying for) wasn’t working one day on the fiber, since we had recently migrated from DSL with 800kbps uplink that would starve out voice calls while browsing TV for a show. I assumed it was the muni ISP. No, it was Netflix themselves, for everyone.

It’s weird having Internet as a utility, as it should be. It just always exists and works.

Moderate investing of $6.2 million with a 4-6% return would amount to a monthly payout of $25,833/month. Very comfortably.

Nobody ever said it was a sane plan.

A lot of that could very well be French attitude versus American attitude and the doctors offices going, “yeah, no, we’re not accepting new patients.” Accept 5 new French patients 2 minutes later. Especially given the American attitude given off in the quotes in the article are classic entitled behavior. “You mean you can’t make a Martini if it isn’t on the menu!??!!”

My favorite enshittification of Amazon is that, plus, the bonus fact the filtering acts different if you pay for prime. The filtering works better with prime. It should work the same regardless if one pays for prime or not.

They basically deliver a shopping experience that is worse unless you pay them money monthly. It’s enshittification two layers of abstraction deep.
