If the influence of ideology is enough to convince you to snipe children in the head, you’re still a bad person. Weird take to be presented with children who were shot by a weapon that’s purpose built for accuracy and rush to defend the person that pulled the trigger. Edit: grammar

I got my ecotank two years ago and haven’t had a reason to buy ink since. I still have plenty of the ink that came with it. The most frustrating thing has been that I have to let it run through a cleaning cycle when I haven’t printed in a while. Well, that and the fact it took me a second to realize it doesn’t support WPA3.

Well, they are pretty clearly tripping, so maybe grain fungus has more to do with it than we realize.

What you’re entering the third act of your love story and you have to get to the church in time to break up the wedding and declare your love, what’s a little bike theft? The universe will take care of it.

We’ve inflated prices but now people aren’t buying as much stuff. Why is this happening??

If you’re not going to share the sources of these “studies and sources” or provide a meaningful definition of “excess deaths” then you’re asking complete strangers to rely on anecdotal evidence and your own personal judgement. Seems far more irresponsible than sharing an article with multiple public health organizations and medical professionals among it sources.

Fair point. I would say that something similar happens with private insurance as well. I don’t claim to have the solution for greed but it sure would be nice to enjoy a system where health outcomes take priority over profit.

Not sure why people say this like it’s a surprise or somehow bad. Paying for public health measures, or just healthcare in general is way better than where a lot of tax revenue winds up.

Some number of years ago, I was an intern within a department of state government. I was tasked with helping to enrich their databases. So they sent over an Excel file. I did my thing and added new columns, then I had to send it back over to someone within each division so they could do the data entry. To my horror, when I went to visit one of the division heads, I saw their admin sitting at a computer with a printout of my changes sitting on a document holder next to the screen…manually typing geographic coordinates into a data entry form.
