What is an Delulu? I’m too silly to know words.

I’m so silly, I refuse to read the entire thread before posting. :-P

As the winner of Time Magazine’s person of the year in 2006, I disagree.

The US has laws that bans paying for blood, but they can pay for plasma. All healthcare in the US is a for profit venture.

If you donate blood in the US, you are the only one in that process who is making a donation. Every other organization in the chain between your donation and the patient who receives it will add a markup for their own profit.

Organ donations work the same way. If you get killed by a car, and your heart is used to save someone’s life, they will be charged nearly two million dollars for the operation. Not only does your next of kin not get a cut of that two million, your estate will still get a bill for whatever treatment failed to save your life.

I can think of little that is more unethical than being the only one donating. Plasma is better because the donors are paid. If healthcare is for profit, at minimum the profits should go both ways. Plasma is the one time it does.

Hold my wallaby I’m going in

Not when the voterbase has common interests.

Healthcare isn’t something that only the unfortunate need. Healthcare is something every person needs. If you live long enough, it will be costly. This is why insurance as a concept is fundamentally unable to handle healthcare. It is antithetical to the concept of insurance.

Read the description for the sentry. It gives you a hint on how to overcome it, while also confirming it’s invulnerability.

Try to discover yourself! But if you need more help:

I hate this.

All the doors slow down before latching, perfectly smoothly easing into a stop, the way your animation software interpolates keyframes.

Real latches need momentum to latch, it takes energy from the door to push the latching bolt. The door will slow when pushing the mechanism, but slam slightly with the leftover energy. The motion is the thing that looks most fake about this animation.

IMO, we need to diversify our EV makers and help provide the capital to bootstrap it.

Good business when the us does it, evil market destroying subsidies when china.

Bethesda recently re-released doom and doom 2. It added some new levels but also an official mod browser and mod library.

It caused some major friction with doom’s modding community because there was little oversight or vetting, and nothing to check that the uploader is the mod’s creator. Many modders had their work pirated by other uploaders, posting their work without credit.

Bethesda removed this mod from their own mod library, showing that they are at minimum, doing some sort of moderation at least. If you wish to play the thatcher mod you can still do so on any other version of doom.

How does public facing statements make trans people vulnerable? Legislation is the power of legislators.

Being quiet about an issue during the campaign makes little difference if they are supportive in office.

Being strategically quiet during a campaign is a good strategy, if only they were smart enough to use it on even more divisive issues, like the genocide.

Some should be in parentheses for true ADHD (or so I have heard)

Pride month. It should be a federal holiday.

google’s android camera app is designed to open google’s gallery app. Google built an OS that has support for user selected app launching. They built a system that lets an app request the user’s preferred gallery app to view photos, but then chose to not use it to force anyone using google’s camera to also use their photos app. fuck google

How did you drink that much?!? Were you distilling your coffee?

Tim Cain worked on the original fallouts, fallout 1 and 2. He has not been credited in the series since. The fallout series has passed through the hands of many others, who may have included a critique of capitalism as a theme.

If you’re interested in Tim Cain’s ideas on capitalism, he was the director of the outer worlds, which is far more focused on capitalism much more directly than fallout ever was.

Capitalism ≠ commerce. Trade exists under nearly all economic systems.

Many people self medicate with caffeine. It helps with focus and productivity, which is why coffee is incredibly popular. Its not just for the neurodivergent, it helps most people focus, making it a staple of workplaces worldwide.

I have only ever heard people with ADHD describe coffee as calming, but it helps with focus. The problem for those with ADHD is that the mind is too active, so being more calm helps focus.

If coffee helps you do the things you want or need to do, you should use it. Avoid excess, proper dosage is essential for any drug even ones as benign as caffeine.
