Sow, not sew.

Just for the future.

Why do so many people hate this?

If I want a single player experience, I’ll go read a book. There’s far better and far more stories available.

Games are for playing with other people.

I’m super suspicious of the 70%+ stats for annual readership, I know a lot of people that don’t read books at all.

Also, there’s a massive difference between someone who reads a single book they bought at the airport to pass the time on a flight and someone who actually reads.

Covid is going to end up being another cigarette situation.

People are going to ignore the “minor” risks for decades, then the long term population effects will kick in and cause massive social problems.

There’s going to be a lot of long term mental decline, heart disease, etc. That’s going to be tied to having had covid a dozen times. The science is already hinting at stacking permant damage.

Some very smart people are significantly concerned about this.

Get your fucking boosters people.

I know people are going to vote him in, but I wonder how long before they realize he can’t fix the problems either and their lives get even worse.

Factorio’s space age expansion

If I ever need to date again, one of the only tests I will perform is taking the person to Costco and giving them the cart. If they repeatedly block other people needlessly, then that’s all I need to know about how they respect other people.

If they don’t take the cart back to the corral they won’t even get a ride home.

Yea, that’s kinda the point.

No worries about medical debt.

Mostly. Sometimes you can still get screwed by things that aren’t covered like prosthetics.

I don’t want to see percentage increase values for things like these. I’d prefer percent of population, or absolute values.

Most of the machines are limited by staff, not equipment in terms of overall load. They may be fully in use during peak times, but that’s mostly because it’s convenient to book people for non urgent appointments during the day.

I was in the ER for 14 hours a month ago waiting to see the doctor, but I had my xray within 20 minutes of arriving at triage, and a CT within a half hour of a doctor looking at the xray and deciding I needed more imaging.

It’s the same thing with things like operating rooms.

As much as I dislike private health care, for something like an international sports tournament I almost think fifa should just give a bunch of cash to the health ministry so they can have extra overtime staff on shift, and those staff can treat normal patients during that period unless they are needed for the athletes. That way everyone benefits and it all stays within the bounds of the normal system here.

When this happens, it means the laws that enable these people are no longer acceptable to the people. That’s a dangerous place to be.

I look forward to your post suggesting that Canada should just give up territory to the US when they invade us, rather than fighting back.

It is a travesty, but no party who gains enough power to lead a government in Canada has any incentive to change the system. The party currently in power always has the most to lose from it.

Passing through other countries where it’s illegal is surprised that he can’t have Cannabis on his person?

Are you stupid? Clearly it’s a yes.

I’m sure the government will bail him out of this eventually, but damn… why are people such idiots?

Trumps Oligarchs, he’s just copying Putin

Think about the suffering that we were forcing on people by not allowing people to choose to die.

Life is important, but living with constant pain or a useless body and no way to improve is barely living.

People should be able to make their own choice about their situation.

Not really. The jury will decide if this particular person is guilty or not, but either way a man was murderer and that’s an illegal action by whomever did it.

It doesn’t sound like it was self defence, even if you stretch the meaning away from the legal. His life wasn’t directly threatened by this organization.

He did it on behalf of others, which eliminates the self in self defence.

I’m pretty sure that was part of the point.

Legally, the murder was wrong. Full stop. There’s no legal argument here that it wasn’t. It may not have been the guy they caught, but someone was murdered and legally that’s wrong.

Morally though, it’s a lot more gray. It’s pretty easy to prove that health insurers policies have literally been killing people thousands of people a year at at a minimum and even if it’s legal for some reason, that’s also still morally wrong. Attacking someone who’s attacking other people is usually called defending.
