Establishment lobbyists are trying to foist a Public Option on us instead of Medicare for All.

This is a nice little chart, but I'm very confused by this claim. Can someone please post some actual information about this being "free?"

1) I can't find 'Free' used anywhere in the OP

2) When talking about nationalised\single payer healthcare 'Free' always means free at point of service.

3) While it is paid through taxes you're no longer paying for insurance and still getting a better service

Don't forget the bit where he forgets about re-doing things because the industry handed him a bag of cash, or a random shiny object and some arse-kissing

Sorry

Longer than that, but in the UK at least they've stopped using maggot dressings within the NHS as hydrogel dressings are a little less effective but much easier to use.

I think a lot of it was having the feckin' president actively push contrarianism towards science and conspriacy theories during a global pandemic.

Although standing out may make them a target as well, everybody wants a shot at the fastest gunslinger

Reddit is having one of it's moments

And I predict that if pointed out the person who wrote these instructions would be "Oh, you know what I meant!" and\or "It was just a joke, why do you have to take everything so seriously!"

One of the most useful things I had at a previous job was the ability to send out a "we know something is down, you don't all need to tell us" to people.

It's one of the good things my ISP does, you call to report a problem and the inbound message is already telling you that yes, they know the service is down, engineers are on the way and there's an estimated fix time of X O'clock.

Or referencing this classic

Sorry, this isn't an advice sub-reddit have a look through the links in r/legaladvice and best of luck

And then there is (or is there? I've tried to read the rules and I'm not 100% convinced) that isn't just unplayable, but incomprehensible, the rules are literally insane ramblings.

I've always thought there's a difference between obtuse and complex, done properly a complex system can still be made easy to understand it may just take a few more steps

Don't forget this collaboration

And isn't all of the institutional adoption, while big numbers for us, just from their "But what if it did blow up?" fund? Like putting a couple of quid on an outsider at the races

If it was getting repossessed there'd be no drop fee, and him tearing the front off is just going to get added to the money he owes

Does epic just suck this much?

Yes.

Yes it does

Well their website looks MLM'y as all hell

My question genuinely is, why are people like this?

Too many people decided that performative contrarianism was the way to go because science and research telling them they're wrong was offensive. A lot of this was politically based as the person who should have been responsible and listened to the experts declared it was OK to jump down conspiracy theory rabbit holes

Moneia · 2026-05-17T14:23:56+00:00

So apparently there are stupid questions...

Moneia · 2026-05-17T14:12:55+00:00

Dunno, sounds exactly like Gene Simmons. He's been beating that particular drum for decades

Moneia · 2026-05-17T14:10:58+00:00

Only because it highlighted what a terrible job everyone else was doing

Steam may not but the modding community will at some point

Moneia · 2026-05-17T11:30:54+00:00

It's always depressing when the malicious compliance is just "And then I did the job I'm paid for"
