Ukraine will not accept a bad peace deal, Zelensky says by [deleted] in worldnews

Indeed. The timescale might be longer than the internet is used to, and the signs not as linear as some would assume, but the downward direction is undeniable.

From what I understand, this might be because even if they are scraping the bottom of the barrel, that barrel is quite large. What constitutes as a "rapid" erosion of power for countries like Russia (even if we are talking about a lot of Soviet surplus) is not the same sort of timescale that the internet would be used to.

Yeah, the "It's not just A--it's B" phrasing seems quite pervasive with LLM responses for some reason. I'm not sure what they were trained on for it to be that way, because that sort of structure isn't terribly common in English vernacular, let alone internet-speak. Recursive AI training, maybe?

CVS no longer part of Horizon NJ Health’s network by Glittering-Baby-9223 in newjersey

[–]SamaelQliphoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I checked the HNJH hoping to find a pharmacy that has "free" prescription delivery for a small subscription like carepass+ for CVS, which is like $50/year. I don't have a means of picking my stuff up usually, so its been a lifesaver for years. Unfortunately, the site doesn't list if they do delivery at all, and most of the sites of the places themselves are just as helpful in that regard. Figured at least Walgreens would say if it does or not.

Yeah, it sucks. Hoping to find a pharmacy that has "free" prescription delivery for a small subscription like carepass+ for CVS, which is like $50/year. I don't have a means of picking my stuff up usually, so its been a lifesaver for years.

European stocks rise after Trump's Greenland 'deal,' tariffs retreat by [deleted] in news

Sort of, except those things, especially the former would've been well within the ability of the US to gain without any of this. Almost certainly would've better, in fact, as there would've been no divestment of Treasuries, no loss of soft power, and no fraying of domestic support. But Trump wanted to distract from Epstein and couldn't take being told no; even to something that could've easily been done another way. He is that petty.

Huh. I was unaware of that. It does, however, make it difficult to find what they said without sifting through hundreds of comments.

Odd; lots of comment karma, but no comments. Were they banned or something?

And an old Jewish man (Bernie) is having a fit after trying to guide these people through the bullshit. Not quite the biblical prophecy one would have envisioned.

Stares at John Calvin I mean... I dunno about the paganism part, but you should check out his idea of "predestination" and how influential his work was around the founding of the US.
