  yeah I always assume articles that say X group is like Y thing is usually full of trump. these definately have to be taken with a grain of salt. Also boomers were the hippie generation. Theoretically they should be much larger on general equality.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can some please explain to me why it is that your health insurance can deny you medication, even if your doctor says you need it?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Im going to go out on a limb and assume you are from the us. us healthcare is nuts. Here is the funny thing. My wife has thyroid issues. Her bloodtests shows it within normal but on the low end. Doctor refuses to raise her cheap thyroid medicine and instead insists on a gpl. Even though she has other symptoms for low thyroid. insurance we had did pay for it. it makes no fucking sense. at times we can’t get stuff we need and at others we are given options we don’t want. A similar thing is there is this pretty cheap procedure called prp where they draw blood and centrifuge it down and dake the serum and inject it in a joint and it seems to relieve pain and does so for awhile. Like she could just get it once a year. They would not cover that but they did at one time. It kinda was based around what medicare was doing. They will pay for surgery that from our experinece may or may not make it better and may make it worse (we have more experience with surgery than anyone would want to have). That surgery is so expensive that if you were to stick the cost into a savings account it would easily make interest enough to do the prp. So even economics wise the insurance company should do the prp. Why don’t they. Because its like a game of chicken. people may get surgery but it does not always go well so many people will not get it. Also prp is done in the doctors office and does not require anything. They will pay for things from drug companies injected into the joint. We have just the worst system. Also you know why your insurance covers some things but not others? Some high muckity muck at your company want something. We had one that did unlimited chiro. Im like 100% the president or one of his family must get chiro adjustments every week or something. Either that or someone between the president and the hr level that decides on what insurance to use.

  I 100% agree not to mention I would like it better. Its kinda funny because every so often use them and im kinda trying to get a feel for where they are and changes and I swear briefly it actually acted a bit more like you have here but then its like they reverted to the sycophancy. Its kinda funny now because if you don’t clear it out (which from what I get will help save energy to) it will like carry stuff over from earlie and sorta get obsessed with it. I had it giving me a colonel potter summary of everything asked when I had started a convo asking about a mash episode. At other times it decides I want to be something and will be like. thats a real X move/insite/whatever. where X is something like pro or scientist or entrepenauer or whatever.

  its like that kinda with all ai stuff. There is specific software that does it and the llm does it a bit worse but it does it and oftentimes folks won’t even know about the software unless your heavily in a feel that uses it and then you would have to buy it, license it, create a solution around it (if your talking a company). The llm ends up putting all these capabilities as a one stop shop and, admitadely, that is very enticing.

  I mean I get it kinda. I just have never really went for the smartphone thing. The laptop is basically my end all be all of technology. I too though love my steamdeck. I actually bought it as kinda of indulgence that I justified with the idea it would become my new laptop but I really like having gaming on a different device and just not worrying about it on my laptop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨(serious) What would we be losing in a world where most people didn't own a car? Please read the OP before posting.⁩ ⁨⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I hate cars. My wife loves them. Now I sometimes talk about my wifes medical issues and im generally talking about about her physical ones. Now I know you say most people but like it would not be impossible for her to ride public transit. Heck people in wheelchairs do it. But its a pain and additionally when she was healthier she could just not mentally handle it. If im with her she can but still does not like it. To use bike lanes they have to be completely protected and separated from the street (again she would also have to be back when she was in better health). She would walk but again with me. She needed that support. She did not need that support when driving. The car for her is safety and feedom. Its funny as its kinda opposite to me. A car means possibly being broken down at the side of the road with no way to get home whereas a transit pass makes me feel safe. When I drive I am engaging in an activity that is very disproportionally large in possibly injuring or killing someone compared to absolutely everything else I do. Now if society was filled with people like me the suburbs would disapear and we could hav a lot less cars, but for folks like my wife. So let me put it this way. I actually just got up and talked with her to really place her here. I honestly though she would choose having a car over indoor plumbing. But she draws the line at indoor plumbing. So she would exchange the internet, electricity, phones, tv, raido. She would rather live in a world with indoor plumbing and gas light/heat with a car. Than live with all our conveniences without a car. I will tell you to. She is waaaayyy moderated on this stuff having lived with me. So like I think if she was in great health and there was fantastic bike infrastructure and we could live in a safe dense urban area. I think she would go for it. But it would have to be so perfect relative to me as to be impossible for it to come to be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Desperate first home buyers are fuelling price ‘up-crash’ at lower end of market, experts say⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I live in a place that does not allow rentals. It somewhat keeps the price in check but honestly like bank foreclosures and such don’t seem keen on selling very fast. So it feels like a combo of everything else being expensive drives normal folks here who can’t compete with the corps and even then the businesses realize the condos are still useful as value stores. So despite the affordable nature relative to other places im pretty sure I could not buy where I live today. its nuts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Im pretty sure they are shielded as I think I have seen stuff like that for the electronics in the iss. Thing is that the eletronics in sattelites and the space station are pretty small relative to datacenters. The only benefit I can really see is maybe they can be solar powered which I guess if the panel acts as shielding and stays sun facing but all the extra expense of getting it up there. I just don’t see it as practical. I mean technically it should either work or not basedo on cost as long as they don’t wring out any subudies or soemthing.
