  The fact that you’re so right makes me sick to my stomach. G-d help us. :(

  You’d be surprised, EU fines and consequences to shitty anti-consumer actions like this are built to hurt. There’s a reason why the new iPhone has USB-C, and it’s not out of the kindness of their heart.

  Never. Microsoft says fuck you. I will say it sounds like a lovely lawsuit waiting to happen, especially in countries with good consumer protections. I wonder how Canadian law would feel about this? 🤔

  I want to see it again in theaters tbh it was an experience

  Ever since they fired the team that curates trends, it has been an utter wreck

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the US, what happens if you sustain a life threatening injury and you don't have insurance?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  it’s relatively common for some hospital systems to sue patients for non-payment if their bills are high enough.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the US, what happens if you sustain a life threatening injury and you don't have insurance?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Mind you, that is a recent change and there are some places that still illegally do so and it is a pain in the ass to get it removed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the US, what happens if you sustain a life threatening injury and you don't have insurance?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’ll also wreck your credit, and if you’re unlucky they’ll sell your debt off to debt collectors to harass you. And then the truly desperate will sometimes commit heath insurance fraud making the system even more immensely fucked for everyone except for the hospitals and insurance companies

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the US, what happens if you sustain a life threatening injury and you don't have insurance?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If someone calls an ambulance and you’re unconscious they will take you the hospital for treatment. You will be responsible for the bill. Including the thousands of dollars for the ambulance ride.

  And no, even though you were unconscious and not able to consent to treatment willingly you will still be responsible for the bill. There are ways of dealing with it, but one accident is all it takes for a ruined credit score for some people. It is as fucked up as it sounds.

  There are ways of waiving bills, getting financial assistance etc but it’s a total nightmare dealing with hospital billing departments

  I think people just miss the movies since the pandemic honestly. I missed the movie going experience a lot

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Barbie’ Becomes Biggest Warner Bros. Movie Ever at Domestic Box Office, Beating ‘The Dark Knight’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m at the theaters to see this right now and the theater is packed, never seen a movie that was this packed outside of opening day

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨lemmy.world right now⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait, it’s a lemmy issue right now? Thank fuck. I thought my image backend was having a stroke.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a more politically conservative part of the fediverse?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It depends on what you mean by conservative. If you’re going by the American definition, then good luck as all of those have been mass defederated due to them nearly always turning into far right toxic harassment zones. If you are European though and go by their definition, you’ll probably be fine. America leans very right by default. Democrats to a degree are skewed right wing at the very least economically.

  Lemmy.worlds API for quite a few stuff is completely borked right now iirc, lemmyverse.net had to disable it temporarily

  Given that it contains the r slur at the end, I’d wager that’s why.

  I’m curious given your comment history….
