@DoughDonut1337@Dude_Largepants@o_sneedy I hate this "There is nothing to do" attitude.
Of course there are things to do.
The caveat is you need friends, meet your neighbors. You need to be a member of the community.
The same thing is true of the city.
Only difference is the ability to hide behind vapid entertainment.
@nash_gomez@sapphyreblayze@angeertsen It objectively does.
Just look at their wait times in Europe.
Hell, a few years back there wasn an article about how Germany Ambulances were holding patients in their trucks, to drive down the IN HOSPITAL wait times.
By making people wait in the ambulance.
@5h1ttyP3t3@sapphyreblayze@angeertsen Don't even get me started on Health Clinics in rural communities.
Hospital quality Doctors, for the small medical needs.
Far cheaper.
Yeah they can't get you an Xray, or whatever, but if you NEED an Xray you NEED the hospital.
@ant_dracula@AKatczinsky@ArmedHeathen@SandyofCthulhu@politicalmath@barquestowaway Because all Carmack is asking for is that there be an actual debate about the merits and demerits.
And not mass hysteria.
Because mass hysteria is why, only very VERY recently. Nuclear, despite being the safety, near 100% green energy. Is actually being taken seriously.
@draedx@blackhawkbuck01@wool1111 Hell, when Trump made noise about wanting to use Greenland to help with Americas defense grid.
European nations went back on their OWN statements from just months previous that Russia and China had been confirmed in the waters of Greenland.
And DENIED they said that.
@draedx@blackhawkbuck01@wool1111 Its not just get mad at us on X.
I have seen Europeans deny, to my face, the ADMITTED fact that their nations by things like oil from Russia.
An enemy of the US, and a nation they claim HATE.
@1856easychoice@Shitpost_2048 Is there anything we can really get out of Anti Guy though?
He is black, but he likes Lemon candy, and beats the shit out of you for trying to take his stuff... Huh.
Actually I think the name Anti Guy might actually be accurate.
@BradPittstainz@getrootarded You ALWAYS have an obligation to act in good faith when discussing something.
I don't give two shits who the subject is.
Admitting that means you simply are happy to lie for your own benefit.
So WHY should I take an admitted liar seriously on this discussion?
@maenadea@rabcyr_alt Reminds me of when leftists used the Nordic countries to prove America has worse poverty.
But the measure of poverty there was something like the equivalent of a few USD a day. Some absurdly low amount.
And in America its total income Vs. a percent of median income.
@maenadea@rabcyr_alt I knew Europeans had a raging Superiority complex.
But I never truly appreciated how bad it was until the "European houses can survive F4 tornados" discussion happened.
Only for it to be discovered a Euro F4 is equivalent to an American F2 tornado. A much lower standard.
@Friended4Ever@Magistrotheriu1 There is plenty of established precedent for it.
An example here in America was Health insurance premiums spiking after the election of Obama in 2008, even though Obama care would not pass until either 2010 or 2011.
@Magistrotheriu1@Friended4Ever Nayib Bukele was elected mayor of the largest city of El Salvador, San Salvador, in 2015 by the way.
on the exact brutal on crime policy he enacted as president.
So yes he pretty much is responsible.
@CheeseGalaxy3@IsseiAsiax But it isn't MY JOB.
To hassel with the Linux Set up until it may match my wants, when Windows works out of the box.
All to ascertain if Linux works for me.
IF it wants to be a major player in the OS Space.
Linux needs to convince ME. Not me convince myself.
@CheeseGalaxy3@IsseiAsiax I say this is every one of these discussions.
I don't use Linux but everyone I know who I explained it to. Would gladly take Linux, if it wasn't a hassel to set up.
I personally would be fine spending much more for a comparable Linux PC to my Windows PC. I think its worth it.
@Scotchjake@o_sneedy But what really tanked Socialism in South America was Millei making a miracle of Argentina and Venzuela being absolutely CRUSHED by Trump in just a few short hours.
@Scotchjake@o_sneedy To be fair it us not entirely that.
Socialism was VERY popular in South America thanks to the propoganda of the USSR.
It still very much is.
What likely changed was that it could no longer hide it's failures, and USAID may have played a role in helping to hide that.
@Razgriz87@William226160 I have met random assholes on TF2 casual lobbies who sound so good you would almost think it's the Don himself, nuking the server like Iran.
It really just is a sign of sleezing into a role you can't do, or incredible laziness. I don't know which to pick, really.
@SplattTheTwat@Wochuz@lukaszgry0@sknerus_ Almost all train crossway bars in the US are DESIGNED to snap under any kind of heavy force.
Specifically for this exact purpose.
It is just not regularly taught that this is the case.
Because Driving Schools are retarded.
@OliverChase1776@ReviewsPossum While true, it does seem to be a very heavy midwit thing to do.
And it makes sense cause midwits are more intelligent then average but not geniuses. Makes them develop a need to overcompensate how smart they are.
I used to be like that a lot, then I learned to put away my ego.
