Insurers fuck cops over too. While I doubt it’s an act of solidarity with the rest of us peasants, it could actually be an enemy-of-my-enemy situation where cops find themselves hating UHC as much as the rest of us.

How crazy would it be if the next Luigi is a cop?!

…in an it was the worst thing ever kind of way - cuz that meant it was over Q_Q
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NBC News Does Entire Piece Trying To Link CEO Shooting To ‘Violent Video Game’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Especially in the era before just looking shit up on the internet when you hit a snag. I remember scouring levels in that looking for a path that I’d missed when I couldn’t figure out where I was supposed to go next.

Definitely a highlight of the N64 for me. It’s up there with the Zeldas in my book.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NBC News Does Entire Piece Trying To Link CEO Shooting To ‘Violent Video Game’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

My parents didn’t let me buy any shooter games other than jet force gemini

At least you landed on solid gold! Jet Force Gemini was the single best shooter for the N64. Far superior to Golden Eye. Yes, I’ll die on this hill.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A scientific discovery⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Kinda depends on the context of the word theory. In non-scientific settings you’ll hear people say “I have a theory…” as in they have an idea or speculation.

In a scientific context, a ‘theory’ is a pretty high standard that’s almost interchangeable with a ‘fact’.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A scientific discovery⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Wouldn’t the hypothesis be first, then tested via experiment, then after a significant amount of peer review confirmation finally confirmed as a theory?

Considering the relative speed of literally everything we can experience as humans, and that light ranks at the tippy top of every single one of them as INSTANT in pretty much any context other than math homework, it’s honestly pretty fucking wild that we not only got humans 1.3 light-seconds away from Earth, but got them back alive to tell about it.

That is straight up amazing.

“The planet’s dying; the Nazis are not only back, but overwhelmingly popular; my wife and I’s dual income can barely afford a shitty apartment + costs of living; our rights are dropping like flies; and if something goes wrong with the pregnancy, our doctor would have to risk going to prison to provide healthcare, which he won’t do, so pregnancy could realistically be a fatal decision for my wife.

We will never entertain the absolutely cruel thought of forcing a child into this dumpster fire. Don’t ask us again.”
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What games have you put the most hours into?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
When I was a teen I played WoW from vanilla through Cata… Had over a full year of in game /played time on just my main.

…and I made a lot of alts.

100% full-blown addicted.

Blizzard is actually the one example of enshittification that I can actually be thankful for - I didn’t really ever quit; they just stopped supplying my drug of choice. They definitely had the power to keep me enthralled, but instead shifted to a younger and younger target audience as I was ofc aging the opposite direction.

The Kung-Fu-Panda xpac trailer was finally my cue to accept that my dealer wasn’t going to provide that fix anymore.

Then I ~~started making healthy life decisions~~ discovered Ark >_<

Text-to-speech is your friend here.

I use a website called “speechify” but there are a lot of options.

Still helps to read along with of, but having that auditory input on tandem with visually reading will keep you on track like you’ve never experienced.

I was going to post some snark about not putting it past humanity to find a way to set the ocean on fire too, but… wait that sounds familiar… oh yeah, we’ve fucking done it already!

“Definitely unrelated … here let’s pull the trigger together.”

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This might blow up in our face⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Considering the direction global politics is taking, setting the planet on fire would be an act of mercy at this point.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This might blow up in our face⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Just because we always have doesn’t mean we always will.

We’re managing our planet like a chronic drunk driver who’s somehow never had a collision. “It’s fine, I do this all the time!”

All it takes is on ‘not fine’ and the story’s over.

I just hope whatever emerges from the ashes evolves to be a species that’s less of a dickhead than humans. …assuming anything emerges from the ashes; that isn’t a guarantee either.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Biden pledges 'peaceful transition of power' as he promises to work with Trump in last days of administration⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
Why? It’s official presidential business. Just hang out in the Whitehouse until Trump finally finds some way to die.

What’s the worst that could happen? …cuz it’s a hell of a lot better than what we just elected.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Post-election blues⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
I think previous poster is being critical of the moral high grounders that just sold the planet out, not actually supporting that shit.

SpongeBob “We did it, Patrick!” meme energy.

Looking at their comment history, they don’t appear to be a dipshit.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨lemmy rn⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
For real though, what does the rescue float in the meme represent irl?

Cuz I sure as fuck won’t be praying, but I’m not really seeing any options other than watching in horror as our country burns down around us.

We can’t even point to the electoral college fucking us over this time - an actual majority of voters decided they want to experience 1930s Germany live and in color.

We’re not going to fix a political system when the majority of actual voters are evil to the core.

If we’re talking that shitty highschool cafeteria pizza, I swear doing this made it taste better.

To hell with calories or fitness or any of that crap - it’s the noms that matter.

In the mean time, decorate some pikes with billionaire noggins. The problem might fix itself if extreme wealth becomes a mortal liability.

Trickle-down economics works like a piñata - you gotta crack it open before anything starts to trickle.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ads⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
Ya know, I thought we were talking YouTube specifically, but looking back at the OP it just says video, and I guess my brain just injected the word YouTube on it.

So, fair enough, if you’ve got a media service that isn’t run by a bunch of human shitstains, then yea support their work.

If it’s YouTube, don’t give em a cent.

uBlock Origin doesn’t accept donations. That’s the only product in this conversation worth supporting.

If you’re getting ads on videos, you need to get you shit together and install uBlock Origin asap.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have you ever had a shit that smelled like a hair salon?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
Yeah fair enough. I couldn’t even afford health insurance for the first couple years working as a civ surgical tech, so my emergency plan was basically ‘if I die I die’, so I definitely get it.

But do at least treat those kinds of changes as a contributing factor to consider along any other symptoms you notice. Sudden change in smell, color, consistency, frequency, etc - any one of them, keep an eye on it; all of them at once (and again, lasting longer than what just a bad meal would cause), something is definitely fucked up.

If I drive like a grandma I can get it just past 40. Actually hitting 42 would be pretty tough.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have you ever had a shit that smelled like a hair salon?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
If it stays different. A bad meal can do some weird things to your toilet, but you should be back to normal pretty quick. If it stays different, something isn’t working the way it’s supposed to, so yeah that’s definitely a red flag.

The stuff that comes out of your body can tell you a lot about the parts inside.

I’m not a poop or perm expert.

So, also not a poop expert, but I do know poop should smell like poop. If the smell of your dookies changes suddenly and doesn’t return back to normal in the time it takes to pass a few meals, you should probably go see a poop expert. AKA, your doctor.
