You joke but providing incredibly shitty overpriced healthcare that provides a higher return on investment is an American specialty. People who are incarcerated get dosed with all kinds of wonderful stuff like antipsychotics (should be banned IMHO) if they act up too much.

Same reason why nobody who wants cheap bit unprofitable drugs, or expensive profitable drugs with even more expensive alternative treatments can get any

My own comment on this is that the article doesn’t mention poverty at all, except implicitly by clarifying the example kid is “gifted” and not from a harsh background. Based on my family in the US, some of whom are teachers, I imagine a combination of social stresses and parents working multiple jobs is worsening the issue and destroying generational transfer of reading skills

The Finnish winter war is harrowing to read about, especially the effects on their history departments. They are all completely devoted to whitewashing Nazis. If you haven’t read Tepora’s Finnish Civil War 1918 History Memory Legacy I recommend finding the time.

And yes it’s ridiculous. Not calling for EVEN MORE concentration camps for Mexicans while still maintaining the current border system impresses them.

Uh oh the Walz Wehrmacht has detected some skeletons that fell out of Herr Commandant’s closet 🤣😭🤧

More like a shitton of people with no knowledge about who actually worked on this patch erecting a personality cult around their new NATO hero.

Yes, all of the people who initially used the software and tested it before you are the people who already moved away from Reddit for ethical reasons, not because of the API catastrophe. We are more likely to be on the older instances, not the Reddit instances. Lemmy.ml users tend to be far more politically aware of how propaganda works and avoidant of US interference. New instance users like to cheerlead the US exactly like reddit does.

only hated by bigots

Uh I am sure that is what you took away from it.

Well, yeah, why don’t these candidates use Latine instead? That is certainly one way to deal with the study’s implication.

Just keep layering on more racism you will definitely outcompete Trump this way.

Yeah I totally agree, I just find these reformist alt-media types to be useful because we can harness their ridiculous energy for law and finance and other difficult to navigate semi-bullshit fields

I will post a lot of stuff even from corny Liz Warren supporter-level breakdowns of corruption just because they are so obsessed. Even if they ultimately have no plan to deal with it.

I would say it’s not a sharp jump in the acceleration of open corruption in the USA, both uniparty candidates are garbage heaps of corruption. The only advantage to Trump is he is chaotic and could disrupt the transatlantic power structure with the move to make Europe pay for rearmament over Ukraine, as well as strengthen China by increasing the trade war. Jamie Dimon as treasury pick is similarly mask off depravity.

I’m not saying vote for either candidate of the uniparty people should be talking to greens or the PSL or just focus on local stuff. Ideally use the general to get people engaged outside of consuming political entertainment and casting a vote in a rigged election.

Not a huge fan of Ryan Grim to be honest. The Intercept is as bad as most mainstream papers at times. But this is a good article.

The way claims get sent back during billing I became suspicious a lot of them are getting read by machine (and very poorly) during the first round of mail so don’t worry medical billing will get even more fun thanks to AI

I bet in 10 years my insurance plan will no longer cover imaging being interpereted by a radiologist.

That’s a very sharp prediction, thanks. I will run that by some people.

This is very relevant to my interests!

It only cost my sanity!

Now imagine if they had something to advertise which people actually want!

Not really. This is a result of people “forking” Reddit due to a real fork being dumb and impossible. Everyone brought the same site culture with them. Mastodon is cleanly divided between Eugene’s hellmouth of Twitter liberals and evil anime libertarians who should all be legally executed for their very real crimes. That wasn’t inevitable. This place seems tailor made for people with a functioning honor system. Internet points are an abomination. People need to inquire more seriously into what is grinding the gears with social media. Techno-libertarian idealism outlived its usefulness long ago. I certainly don’t have any better solutions than ActivityPub and private frontends.
