⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
What do you think happens when someone with a treatable condition that would normally lead to death is denied medication for that condition?

They don’t magically get better.

Under his leadership he had the highest (by far) denial of coverage rate of any healthcare company in the world.

And was trying to push the number of denial to 90+%.

That is millions of people.

Do you think they all magically got better?

The big question to me is, why doesn’t THAT bother you nearly as much? I don’t see your comments sharing any outrage in that direction.

Lol, I’m not gonna contest you on the price point. But that’s an issue with every AAA+ game imho. Even I snagged it on sale.

But that’s also not even close to what the review bombing was about.

Forespokens hatred train was beyond-the-pale ridiculous. If every game was judged / brigaded as harshly as Forspoken was, the AAA game industry would collapse.

And honestly, Forspoken was a really fun game if you focused on what you were doing 99% of the time, which was traversal and combat. The story, quest design and characters were lackluster, but it wasn’t nearly as horrible as people made it out to be.

People robbed themselves.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do we castrate animals instead of giving them vasectomies?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
That’s the case in doing it too early in animals as well, especially noticable in larger breeds. There’s been a longtime pushback for dogs to get spayed / neutered at later ages, than one size fits all.

Also there are other interesting studies that differ between humans and animals, such as the lifespan of animals that are neutered / spayed tends to be longer than the other way around, and supposedly in humans it’s the opposite.

I didn’t do a ton of vetting when I was researching the information though, so I don’t know how well the studies were controlled and what they accounted for.
