Stowing this for future use whenever someone I don’t like is nauseous. “If you think about it, the only real difference is that the puke is still in your stomach, just waiting to get out…”

Insulin used to be costly and complicated to manufacture, now it costs $25-35 for vials of standard basic varieties in non-insane countries with proper regulation of the pharmaceutical and medical industries (sorry united States, this doesn’t include you). This treatment was almost unimaginable just at the turn of the millennium, but is now reality, affordable therapy shouldn’t be impossible although it may take time to lay that groundwork.

The algospeak to skirt around rules, I can only anticipate that getting much, much worse. Other users, Mods, and even local authorities have been trying to put a lid on that shit for decades, and I haven’t heard any news of significant gains. The whole affair seems more akin to turning over rocks and having the bugs scatter.

Yoink, putting that to good use later.

Additional context appreciated, I’m still not going to stop ripping on his despite less ammo though. Just have to re-jig some of the insults is all.

Fuck Spez

Exactly right, same deal as with chili peppers except that you won’t shit yourself to death.

Anyone have the variant with the pimp hat and cane twirling?

Plot twist: they listen exclusively to Russian shortwave numbers stations.

We are indeed on thin ice, and your revelations about the electoral system are sound. Although I’m not hot-to-trot about the Liberal party, their tendency to favour “business and corporations” sometimes results in a better outcome simply because of their humanist streak IMO - whatever quantity it represents within their part & voter base is often enough. The healthcare system is best representative of this, as I’ve seen/heard several times their assertion that cuts to it produce worse (and more expensive) outcomes down the road. In a kind of fortuitous way, their determined efforts to manage federal/provincial resources without stripping out the floor in budget cuts winds up producing a much more personally manageable situation for the electorate by furnishing critical public services unheard of in the United States.

The Liberal Party may be shit, but it’s sure as Hell not “anti-human”, that’s a quality that I’d tack onto the Conservatives. Neither of them is supportive of Leftist policies, but the damage done by Poilievre won’t so much let problems fester as accelerate them to disastrous ends, that SOB will never find a supporter in me.

Not if the Canadian electorate keeps PP out of the PM’s office.

Good on them for standing their ground, the Polish wouldn’t be asked to tolerate the annexation of Lubin or Rzeszow, nor would the Belarusians be asked to tolerate the loss of Brest, Pinsk, Luninets, Mazyr, Homiel, nor the Russians to lose Kursk, Belgorod or Rostov. The entirety of the Crimean Peninsula should be surrendered by the Russian Federation, under duress of force of arms if necessary - no one who steals, robs and kills will simply stop after being told without being over-mustered and made to do it. The complete return of seized territories and compensatory remuneration for destruction of Ukrainian infrastructure and loss of life should be the base demands before any peace treaty is accepted/signed.

Explosion chamber? Big deal, my ass has one of those too.

I’ve been saying it for years, but get no traction unless I’m preaching to the choir - these health data tracking programs are not your friend, and your MD shouldn’t need them to competently render medical services to you. I’m staring to feel like Cassandra of Troy the way that I’m predicting trends and inevitable outcomes to people who don’t give a shit about their own personal safety.

The data is not secure, and the systems which purport to protect them are so lackluster that they bear comparison to guarding piles of meat from wet dogs with a paper fence. This information will reveal compromising details about your personal life which are a blackmailer’s wet dream, to say nothing of data aggregators, and the possible application by something so commonplace as insurance companies to approve/deny coverage.

Worse yet, in this case, is the application by “bad actors” beyond the government(s) where legality of sexual healthcare is in flux (see: gender affirming care, abortion, homosexuality, etc.). It bears considering that rapists with access to said information could use it not only to track their victim’s location, and other particulars, but to help them avoid/succeed in impregnating the victim in question. This shit needs to go, it’s a five alarm blaze with no smoke.

It is, the respawn rates are insane by modern standards. 0/10 would not recommend, stick to the movies instead.

Interesting, thanks for the explanation. I have yet to see any Mastadon content on here, or visa versa, but I’m still just dipping my toe into Lemmy without the tech know-how.

TIL that Lemmy and Mastadon are linked? I stopped using Mastadon because there was fuck-all being posted, except by the news outlets that I followed, and even tags corresponding to massive fanbases sometimes had fewer than a dozen entries…

I’m getting flashbacks to NES Rambo seeing your comment. First ragequit, fuck that game lol
