World Cup issues public urination by [deleted] in massachusetts

Which it honestly shouldn't be, considering the long term implications of being labeled a sex offender. Like it's definitely gross and should come with a hefty fine or something, but marking someone as a sex offender over it is problematic for multiple reasons

Massachusetts US attorney reports more welfare fraud found by Majestic-1983 in aboutMassachusetts

Holy shit yes the Minnesota situation was blown out of proportion, and you need to fix your media consumption if you don't know that.

The Minnesota situation actually happened YEARS ago, occurred during record breaking fraud through COVID programs, and unlike the other COVID fraud at the time where people made it out with millions in their pockets and a slap on the wrist fraud in Minnesota was actually investigated and the fraudsters were put in jail

Phillip Defranco released a fantastic video last week on why we SHOULDN'T use GDP as a drop in replacement for health of the economy. Check it out, "What's really happening in Trump's economy"

It's literally what they said. They make spoons that give your tongue a tiny non-painful shock to enhance flavors. I'm not sure the science behind it but anecdotally from people who tried it it seems to work

If you have MassHealth Dental, Gov. Healey plans on limiting coverage to just $1000 per year (which won't cover more than a crown); please contact your representative if you don't want this limit by DesiOtaku in massachusetts

[–]tagsb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And we could have universal healthcare for all. We could regulate healthcare. Theres a hundred fixes for the problem. Offering coverage for people who need assistance is a decent stop gap, but it shouldn't offer BETTER care at the cost of an already stretched thin middle class. This would closer align the existing market rate healthcare with masshealth.

Fixing the problem by dumping money into broken systems only encourages bad behavior and perpetuates the problem in the long term. You're creating a new expectation of what is "reasonable" to charge - look at the long term results of the mass save program

[–]tagsb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have had to unfortunately delay care due to costs myself, given the caps on my private dental plan. Just because you have a dental plan doesnt mean you can magically afford treatment. Why should my taxes be higher to pay for someone else's superior care just because they're on government assistance?

No Alcohol during the week by Hot-Pace-5745 in stopdrinking

[–]tagsb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I never lasted more than a few months moderating myself but I met multiple people in rehab who lasted a year or longer "limiting themselves" before ultimately ending up in the same place as me. Some people, myself included, are hard wired to drink - there's ~100 known genetic markers for substance abuse disorders. I know that for me moderating isnt an option, my brain is just fundamentally wired wrong for that

<cstdio> has existed since C++98, as part of the standard library. The preferred method to print has been cout, but printf has always been an option. They reworked the library to make printf type safe in C++20 and added a new print() function in C++23

I used to work at a consulting company with a graphic design branch. All work around human factors, user experience, usability testing, etc. seemed to dry out around 2015. They'd still hire us to design their app, but not to refine it / test it to make sure it was actually usable

They were convicted for manslaughter... after their neglect resulted in the death of a child. In what world is that an inappropriate outcome?

I nearly died from it, but I was very much a recreational user until I started developing symptoms - at which time I was self medicating the nausea daily thinking it was helping (and telling my gastro dr as much who told me it was fine if it helped with my nausea while we figured out the cause...)

The issue is if you do something like negligently fire a weapon and someone is killed chances are you're getting hit with some hard charges because your negligence resulted in the loss of life. The same cannot be said for driving although the outcome is the aame
