Pandantic [they/them]

Yeah, I’ve gotten a 2 wins, the first was almost a full clear! I’m starting to get the hang of it.

I guess I just haven’t gotten the hang of it yet.

I was one heart away from getting 13 hearts, but at that point I was out of options. 😫

Have you ever won?

Skynet?

The grift just keeps on grifting!

How do we allow a president-elect to profit from his presidency like this? I thought there are laws.

Okay, but can you back up that guarantee with sources? I want to know how likely this is, as I will be applying for jobs soon. Also, remote tech jobs, which are probably more likely to have these.

gendered by placing a sticker on the door

We have that at my work, but they are still gender-neutral bathrooms when the other one is in use and someone needs to use it. You can’t really ungender-neutral those bathrooms.

to me this just sounds like social media passing the buck to their users with no regard for accuracy.

And for free, no less!

Can you direct me to something that substantiates this? Did he write that he didn’t want to hurt anyone? From what I’ve read of his stuff, I wouldn’t be surprised if he was just that dumb.

It’s kind of sad really but, in a way, heartening? Like if we could break them of their stupid brainwashing, they could be real comrades? Though, I don’t think we can so it’s only sad.

“Soldier who died in cybertruck”

I like how they’re not calling him a terrorist becaus he:

• Failed
• Is a soldier

Also, I like how there’s no implication that he tried to blow up said cybertruck, he was just killed in it. 🙃

I always wondered this, so I’m glad you made a topic about it. I noticed an invidious link in a post I made was broken, and I started thinking that the broken link thing might be a problem going forward, especially for the longevity of a post’s life. I do hate YouTube and I’m happy to hear that me sharing a YouTube link is usually not giving them website traffic or user info because of the actions of other lemmys. Thanks for this post!

My only-ever-windows SO just got a computer with PopOS on it (default) and it took some getting used to, but he loves it. I was like, “you know this is a Mac OS clone, right? 😏” and he was like 🤯

I noticed Animix Player doesn’t have “no ads” servers anymore and even when it opens the ads it doesn’t play. 😭

Short answer about benefitting policy holders vs share holders is they’re not. They won’t.

Yeah, I said that knowing this was true, and I guess props on them for not lying their way out of that part… 🙄

The second half of what you said is why these companies, that literally have peoples health and wellbeing in their hands, should NOT be for-profit companies. They are actually profiting, and celebrating their record profits, off of hurting people. It’s insane.

Thanks for the podcast share, I’ll check it out.

Yeah, we don’t want to have a politician de facto in power because no one else better comes along and/or no one still wants to vote.

What if we make not voting an official vote and, if it wins, all the parties have to try again with new candidates?

Witty said that while UHC is willing to “partner with anyone” who could help the system work better, “clearly, we are not there yet.”

“We understand and share the desire to build a health care system that works better for everyone. That is the purpose of our organization,” he wrote.

I would love for him to explain to me why they NEED to deny 1/3 of their claims to keep their business afloat and how they are using their $23.1 billion profit to benefit the policy holders rather than the share holders. That would be a real article, a real plea to the populace. This is just an article full of empty words that mean nothing, but it does show us how scared you execs are, which is nice.

Oh, and I liked this part (emphasis mine):

Witty added that Thompson was “never content with the status quo” and praised the CEO for advocating for ideas that “were aimed at making health care more affordable, more transparent, more intuitive, more compassionate — and more human.”

Yea, like the Ai denial system? I bet that really gave it the human touch. I mean, I really can’t believe he said that part.
