The ACA specifically prevented socialized medicine, as a hand out to insurance companies. In a lot of ways, it was the best possible deal for insurance companies. It essentially wrote into law that they must exist. If not for the ACA, we wouldn’t all be paying thousands to insurance companies because they’d have been made illegal for all serious illnesses/injuries.

The ACA is the only reason you pay thousands to insurance companies every year.

Who is going to be swayed by a bunch of randos on the Internet blocking an obviously evil company from joining them? Congress? They’ll just buy the votes for whatever they need. I know nothing about this topic, but it is very obvious that letting an evil company associate with the federal can only make things worse. They’re a bad actor, ergo, we should not do what they want.

The best case scenario of letting Meta in is neutrality. Far more likely is then actively destroying stuff. Remember, their motto is move fast and break things

Wildly misleading title, USA has not made any concrete plans for the investment, and has a history of lying about everything.

This seems suspicious, I’m not sure if it won’t work at all or will kill you, but I wouldn’t go near these without significant testing.

It doesn’t matter what other people think about the temperature, it only matters what you think. Fahrenheit is useful in the same sense the word Red is useful: you and I could be seeing totally different colors that we call red, but it doesn’t matter because we both point to the same objects as being red.

You can’t logic someone out of a position they didn’t logic themselves into. Also, why would we bother showing them compelling evidence before we shoot them?

Uhh, good luck with that. The free market taketh, the free market taketh away.
- Comment on TikTok says it’s not the algorithm, teens are just pro-Palestine — The company denied allegations that it has been promoting pro-Palestine content in an effort to sway American opinion 11 months ago:
Hamas has not lied as blatantly as Israel. The death tolls they have reported have typically been corroborated by later independent sources.
What does weapons fire actually imply in a territory subjected to constant bombing and siege warfare? It’s not like hospitals are safe from bombings and other attacks, so being armed in a gaza hospital is simply the intelligent thing to do
- Comment on AAAAtoms 11 months ago:
So because right now only Americans use fahrenheit, it must be bad? Holy logical fallacy batman
- Comment on AAAAtoms 11 months ago:
Something more specific than how humans relate to the temperature? Why would that be useful? If you’re doing science, you should use Celsius. If you’re a regular human being, being affected by temperature, you should use fahrenheit.

We don’t know that, that’s just what Israel claims. Israel is known to lie about that stuff.

It’s based on how humans feel about heat, which was then translated into ammonium chloride so as not to be arbitrarily based on opinion. Without basing it on a chemical solution, it wouldnt be recreatable.
- Comment on AAAAtoms 11 months ago:
Do Americans feel heat differently or something?
- Comment on AAAAtoms 11 months ago:
Fahrenheit is roughly a 0-100 scale of “places humans can conceivably live”. 0-100 scales are more intuitive than a scale from like -15 to 40, which is approximately what celsius uses for the temperatures humans can live at.

If he’s short on cash, he should get a job, like the rest of us, rather than leeching off of others.

I have skin in the game, because if America aids in a genocide, I as an American am partially responsible. I’m okay with being arrested, or even a second coup attempt by trump, if it means preventing a genocide.

If the Jews had had a group similar to Hamas during the Holocaust, any rational person would say that’s a good thing, as it might have lessened the horrors the Nazis could put them through. So yes, if the victims of a genocide retaliate against the perpetrators of it, that is good. Learn critical thinking skills please.

Yeah, is there a best method to starve them or something? How do we ensure humans such as their children don’t get caught in the crossfire while starving them?
- Comment on I feel so sotty sorry for the poor rock man 1 year ago:
Because those people provided something to you. They made or delivered the food. All a landlord does is gatekeep a necessity that people can’t live without. He didn’t build it. The only thing he did to you is prevent you getting housing. That is why they are leeches.

Why is he carrying a rock labelled hard work? Is that what he calls your rent check or something? I work hard, my land lord does not. That’s literally the entire relationship.

They’re denying it because it’s not true. Have you talked to gen Z? Young people actually are pro Palestine.

This is an incredibly stupid thing to say when the current president is supporting genocide.

Whatever Palestine does to free themselves from oppression is justified. Israel has never been oppressed by Palestine.

Do you know what genocide is? It’s pretty much the most black and white issue there could possibly be. People who disagree with me on this ARE evil. There is actually such a thing as truth.

Just fine him $1 billion every time he does shit like this. If he doesn’t pay, sue his ass in a $5 billion lawsuit. We have ways of making him talk.
- Comment on Chevy Chase Bashes ‘Community’: “The Show Wasn’t Funny Enough” 1 year ago:
Its not really what he was saying, but he could have had a point. The shows writers really did kind of have it out for him (with good reason as stated everywhere else), and as a result they didn’t give him very much to work with. Even his use of the N word was directed at the writers, saying something like “pretty soon they’ll just have me call Donald N----r”. Its really a vicious cycle, because it’s hard to write good jokes for a person you dislike as much as the writers did chevy. And then Chevy gets even shittier to you because you constantly give him the worst lines.
