Memories of my professor in early 2010s teaching us to do it by hand in case the power at work ever goes out and we don’t wanna get fired … based on his 90s work experience.

He was fun though.

At least one possibly decent article detailing why they might not.

It’s an easy find. Nobody is literally saying fuck right off, but it’s not a stretch to think this shithole society would screw the person over.

I’m often treated as if I’m far-right - especially online. If anything, this just pushes me further to the right

“People think my beliefs are X, therefore I begin to believe X.”

So what I hear is you have no actual beliefs and are influenced too easily.

Donating is idiotic. End of story. If you donate to anything, you’re a moron.

I still use Steam Link for that. The little physical box. They still support it.

You’re disingenuously implying Harris/Walz would have solved healthcare.

People have had enough of status quo and slow progress.

In 2023, UnitedHealth Group generated a net income of approximately 23.14 billion U.S. dollars.

In terms of scale, this feels like he was underpaid. Says something about how this company viewed him. Does somebody need to go after boards or stockholders next?

Just a few from mostly recent years, varying sources. Of course some can be found saying otherwise, but I feel like a meta review would reveal it’s likely at least 50%+ most of the time.

Sixty-two percent respond with universal coverage.

A 57% majority of U.S. adults believe that the federal government should ensure all Americans have healthcare coverage.

63% of U.S. adults say the government has the responsibility to provide health care coverage for all

The vast majority of Americans, 70 percent, now support Medicare-for-all

Whaddya know, it spikes every time there are recent sales.

Definitively definite defined definition.

Detecting symptoms amd signs of a thing is not predicting the future.

That’s like seeing a car that isn’t going to stop, so you slow down before you might T-bone them. That’s not really “predicting the future” but just paying attention and calculating likelihoods.

I think it stems from a movement to stop identifying people first by their disability. I think along the lines of the difference between “Here’s a disabled person” or “Here’s a person who happens to have a disability.” Lots of people would rather be first identified as a person.

Shrug.

This is exactly the issue that happens. They write things out narratively like a decrease happened, which would cause some panic in certain groups we work with, and then they would argue when we requested they fix it to represent a decrease in the rate of increase, or a slower/lower increase than prior, or however they wanna say it. But it certainly didn’t decrease.

Was definitely not bragging or saying I’m the only one. I just distinctly remember some people who were very passionate about this attacking me and in some cases it destroyed our friendship or acquaintance since they judged me for it.

Never made sense to me. I told them I never refused to tip people. I wasn’t an asshole about it, but I certainly tried to avoid going to places that expected tipping.

Which is idiotic. At most other jobs, that is internal, impacts rewards like bonuses, and potential fireability. Just stupid to make it the customers problem.

I work in a place full of statisticians, and we’ve had to unfortunately have numerous conversations with some of them about the difference between “a decrease” and “a decrease in the rate.” Apparently “it’s increasing slower” isn’t clear enough for some.

“tongue punching the fart box” and “Renaissance” in the same sentence.

Bravo.

I have played every Far Cry since the first. In my opinion FC5 is the worst. Boring setting. Far more mundane and repetitive than the others. The forced kidnappings were annoying. The ending was meh. I think FC6 was a refreshing change.

Personally Far Cry Blood Dragon is the best overall. The Vietnam DLC for FC5 is also excellent, even though short. FC4 is also great, and has a truly unique setting and was a lotnof fun with the gyro copter and Yeti. FC3 is good and fun, but it’s overrated.

FC2 I think is the best FC in a spiritual sense. For all its flaws, it truly set out to implement a unique concept the other FC’s have forgotten… that is you set out to accomplish something and everything will go wrong. You were supposed to be frustrated and overthink things. The setting was cool, the story was effed up, and the buddy system was kinda neat.

All Far Cry’s suffer from underdelivering on the story. So much potential with the villains, yet barely seen. People who brag about how cool Vaas is seem to forget you only see him like 3 times, he’s gone by like mid-game, and he wasn’t even the main villain.

I am shocked the lifespan EU4 has. I played hundreds of hours of it on my (melting) laptop in college a decade ago. I’d let it run a bit while studying in the library, and kind of make slow moves and changes between studying things.
