is this about the stupid football thing?

Before the musk acquisition I had something like 8,000 people blocked… mostly the inane shit like “Patriot Christina dog mom” or incredible soichebags like “dc_draino”.

still love how someone referred to him as “that Skeletor looking motherfucker”

Seems like an overly generous interpretation. They want to change this because insurance companies never wanted it, since they don’t want to have to actually pay money out for people who are sick.

It’s worth noting too that while the article says one idea is of course “todays healthy could be tomorrow’s sick”, a more persuasive point may be that todays sick could be tomorrow’s healthy. Or, even imagine, preventative care. Personally I was self employed in my 20s and 30s and thought it was okay to have no health insurance because I was young and healthy. Self employment is about the worst situation for US health insurance. Turns out I wasn’t healthy. The progression of what was going on with me ended up destroying my productivity. From a societal, financial view, being shut out of medical care was a net loss for everyone - if I’d had access to a relatively small and cheap amount of preventative care, I would have ended up contributing far more in economic activity and taxes over my lifetime, versus now where I consume more in healthcare than I would have otherwise as well.

Hell yeah I love posting stuff like this on Lemmy in support of communism!

Previously Tramp praised Robinson, saying he was like “Martin Luther King on steroids” among other stupid Trump-typical things.

Such an odd thing about these “i’m so communist bro!” people.

It’s like Elon Musk has managed to make Mark Zuckerberg seem like a good person by comparison. Or Trump was so awful that Democrats look back and think “huh, GWB was a decent president”

No, this election is about what Trump might do and what a Harris admin would do better. Getting Trump in office to ‘not reward bad behavior’ makes no sense at all, considering that Republican behavior is beyond abysmally horrible. We don’t get many choices in the US, but it makes sense to be pragmatic and not make things worse.

Let’s see, would Trump be better for Palestinians? To the extent we should work to get him elected versus Harris over this issue? Well, one would have to be incredibly stupid or just a trump supporter or both to think that. Trump would come with a bonus of a few different genocides - Ukraine, Central American immigrants to the US, trans people - and absolutely continue finding and supporting Israel. So what’s your point exactly?

No, I’m going on what Trump and dozens of high level Republicans have very clearly stated about the current war, as well as the long history of Republicans supporting Israel with funds and weapons. That isn’t speculation at all.

nice, it only took them 10 years or so

“ disorders” like being a malignant narcissist? Raging and flailing in wrath and desire for vengeance? Maybe not the best idea.

Smear campaign? He is and always has been the smear. The dude is incredibly vile in every way possible and always has been.

Danald Tramp never would have sent weapons to Israel, you’re right!

Jones is a deranged liar though. It’s far more believable that Trump has poor hygiene than his histrionic idiocy about Obama.

I’m often astonished by just how odious and unlikable conservative commentators are and wonder how anyone can seriously watch the people on Fox and people like Trump, Charlie Kirk or Dan Bongino and think “yeah! I like and trust this person!”

On the flip side, imagine voting for someone because Ben Shapiro is doing so.

Not really what the headline is trying to say… AI debates means debates about AI, not AI participating in debates.

Definitely. Back when I used FB and Twitter I learned that reporting is entirely useless. You just end up with some automated message about how they reviewed it and it “didn’t violate their community standards” with some lame verbiage like “we realize this isn’t the outcome you were looking for”, regardless of how ridiculously blatant whatever you reported was. On the flip side, I was banned for clearly misinterpreted or brigaded comments, and then an appeal just gives you the inverse where they reviewed it and whatever you posted was definitely terrible and they “realize this isn’t the outcome you were looking for”.
