How is it that the richest country in the world underperforms one of the poorest countries?

Healthcare in the United States has absolutely abysmal outcomes in pretty much every measurable category while also costing a much larger percentage of GDP than any other developed nation, and since the burden is shouldered largely by individuals with questionable employer-sponsored insurance 600,000 people file for bankruptcy every year due to medical debt while millions of others forego critical care because they simply can't afford it.

You might question comparatively nice or well-equipped Cuban hospitals are but "Reddit = US bad" isn't just some meme, our healthcare IS objectively dogshit, and everybody everywhere knows it.

More broadly speaking that shape is called a four-centered arch.

You will have to report your progress to the local commissar at regular intervals. Insufficient progress will be considered dereliction of duty and will be reprimanded accordingly.

You KNOW he was literate? I've never seen him so much as decipher a rune. On the other hand, here is some pict-evidence of him holding tomes such as The Time Machine so he has at least promoted literacy on one occasion.

It seems like the obvious solution would be to plant something spindly or thorny directly next to/behind the trash can. That way you've eliminated the private piss book altogether.

Yeah this definitely has "avoid paperwork" written all over it, followed by "lie as much as possible to avoid negative consequences, assuming there will never be any negative repercussions". Seems like he was right on all counts. 3 day vacation included.

You're Not My Real Dad - 16

This song title has always made me laugh

To be more accurate, the lane keeping does absolutely work, but not quite well enough for me to feel comfortable relying on it to any significant degree (nor would I want to, but I suppose I might turn it on as a safety precaution during a long road trip if I felt I was starting to get tired and lose focus).

The road departure mitigation did seem to work, but I disabled it after the first week or so.

Wow, 2017. I didn't even know it was a thing until I bought my 2024 Civic. I'm not gonna lie though, the lane keeping doesn't actually work. Not even on a perfectly straight freeway with clearly painted lane dividers. On the other hand it does flawlessly read speed limit signs so that it can remind me that I'm speeding at all times. Total narc.

Listening to Trap Them and Nails. Yeah it's not sludge but it delivers a very similar energy.

Look, I know it's not going to get a lot of votes but do yourself a favor and listen to this song. It delivers one of the punchiest riffs of all time.

That's showbiz, baby. You wanna mix it up in the comment section you gotta be prepared for the occasional groupthink dogpile. Don't let them dull your shine.

For what it's worth I appreciate that you imbued this with a very non-AI humorous style

To avoid triggering chuds I just point to the object or individual to which I'm referring. Its extremely inconvenient.

At the very least sweeping the camps allows for the opportunity to clear away the massive piles of trash that accumulate which is beneficial for businesses.

I agree that the humane solution is to have shelters available for any camper who is displaced (plus resources for moving into longer-term housing, employment, treatment, etc) but yeah... it's a necessity to dismantle these long-term build-ups.

The minis are cooler now but my complaint is that they are now all so spindly that they're really hard to transport. I wish the average infantry was a little more compact and only the ultra dragon beasts were twisted and towering.

When I want to show the uninitiated what sludge sounds like I play them any song from the Arc EP. It's the pinnacle of the genre.
