The killing in the street included, except for the fact that they changed their decision.

Will it be implemented again later? Probably. But this event caused change now.

If an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind, one person denying over 80% of insurance claims is a whole lot of eyes, which is a crazy ratio. I don’t think your analogy works.

Nation wide, 305 million Americans have health insurance. Over 80% were being denied because of a faulty system these companies refused to fix. That is 244,000,000 people. Two hundred and forty four million people being rejected.

United has 51 million people it “”““covers””“”, being generous and saying it was only 80% who were getting denied from this system means that’s still 40 million 800 thousand people.

All your what ifs already happened because of 2016 btw.

And those are just verified. There are thousands of games that require nothing to play, there’s just a minor thing preventing Valve from approving it. (For example, a link to a web page in the main menu disqualifies it)

That’s just naieve hope. He would sell out his country for a bean.

Rupert Murdoch and the cabal

What else do you call an unprovoked, politically charged attack?

Hundreds of thousands of people.

The fact of the matter is that casual gamers and console owners overlap with Facebook and all generic social media.

We know that we only Lemmy are small, so we should try to keep in mind that our understandings and opinions of generic things in the world are the uncommon ones. Madden sells. FIFA sells. Call of Duty sells. Grand Theft Auto sells. Trying to criticize these outside of Lemmy will only result in losing even more faith in the general public, if that was even possible.

It is, certainly. I was coming at it from the perspective of if there weren’t humans to count, we would still have 10 fingers. I.e., if there’s no one around to count, do numbers still exist.

I’m not sure I agree with this… it’s like if no one is around to hear a tree fall, does it make a sound?

Until recently she has historically been anti-fracking. I think the commenter was implying that yes, she did just say that, in order to get funding and support from these companies.

Note: Not saying I feel this way, just clarifying.

What’s more disappointing is that she had been historically anti-fracking. Tossed all of that out though, I suppose.

On one hand, I get it. To ensure herself a smooth election, keep the funding from your enemy.

On the other hand, fuck man I just want a President with policy that won’t destroy the planet.

All you need is over under wrap and that doesn’t happen, at all.

Sometimes it’s just not worth it. It’s nice to be able to workshop your thoughts, and then you’ve work shopped it so much that it’s just not worth posting - the user you’re responding to probably won’t care or will antagonize, sometimes your thoughts change as you’re typing them, sometimes it just doesn’t make sense and there’s no point in re-writing something that ultimately contributes very little to anything except your own self-expression.

There’s an episode of Catfish that has this. A lady is setting people up to eat at her restaurant lmao

I’m… How did I not know she died? In 2022? What??

From a fall in her home? Oh my goodness.

You talking about a more extreme version of something like AdNauseam?

You should hear him sing King for a Day.
