How the hell am I supposed to solve for X when I haven’t been given the rest of the equation?

Ah yeah, Romneycare with no public option and my friends with kids still can’t afford to actually use the doctor because the deductible is so high.

Soooooo glad that they spent all their political capital on a handout to the insurance companies.

Love it when they just pass Republican legislation and call it a “win” for Democrats.

If my eyes rolled any harder they’d be on the floor.

The ACA was a numbers game so Democrats could pat themselves on the back at the number of “insured” people ignoring whether or not that “insurance” actually got those people access to medical care. “Insured” means nothing if you can’t use it.

But good for them for being able to point at some numbers and pat each other on the back for a “job well done” I guess?

The ACA has helped the insanely destitute (in states that even use it, so not everywhere), but it has not helped the general US public nor even come close to solving the medical insurance crisis and high cost of medical care crisis.

But tell me more about how we’re supposed to be so happy for half-assed plans copied from Republicans.

I don’t see why we don’t try to actually fix shit.

Because then they can’t keep kicking the can down the road for the next election.

Gotta keep that voter base involved somehow, and when you aren’t actually gonna give them anything to be happy about, you’ve got to trot out nice little lies you’ll never follow through with to make them get out to vote.

Keep patting yourself on the back. I’m sure it will suddenly make healthcare affordable somehow.

It’s not like medical bills continue to be the number one reason for bankruptcy or anything.

I found a photo of you:

Why Didn't Democrats Do More When They Controlled Both Houses of Legislature, The White House, and The Supreme Court During Obama's First Term?

I’ve been wondering for a bit why during the time the Democrats controlled the legislature, executive, and judicial branches during Obama’s first term in 2008 more wasn’t accomplished. Shouldn’t that have been the opportunity to make Row V Way law and fix the electoral college? I understand the recession was going on but...

That’s not the way the world really works anymore." He continued "We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors … and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.

-Karl Rove

They know this is how it works and they abuse it freely and are open about what they’re doing. Democrats are fucking pussies in the face of it.

Neat implementation.

This along with Microsoft’s in-house adaptive controller, (which sounds cheap at $99.99 for the base, but you often need a lot of extra peripherals for it, which cost more) gives disabled gamers a lot more opportunity to be involved and not so limited.

It’s always disappointing that these things are so costly for the disabled, compared to a normal controller.

But I suppose it’s similar for many disabilities. Braille displays for the blind often start at around $2,000!

The disabled are often the people with the least capabilities to afford such things.

Hopefully they can at least be embraced by charitable organizations and maybe be present in hospitals and things like that.

I will never stop being sad over when the Primus website stopped being primussucks.com for primusville or what the fuck ever.

Real heads remember that “Primus sucks” is the clarion call of people who fucking love Primus.

Beck is a tough one because he does have a lot of goofy songs, but they’re mixed in with ones that are strange and surreal but less goofy.

Debra is a great example of a funny Beck song.

Girl I want to get with you / Only you / And your sister / I think her name is Debra

Lady, step inside my Hyundai

I can never decide if this song is silly or incredibly touching and sad or all of them at the same time.

You are indeed correct, sir or madam or other.

Although with the explosion of new music styles, I’d argue that Primus needs its own actual categorization. Funk-Metal or something akin to that.

This is a great post (ya fuckin nailed it) but you somehow missed Barack HUSSEIN Obama.

The Hussein middle name absolutely made post-9/11 racists lose their fucking shit. Associations with Saddam were made all over the place.

This is also when we saw a lot of these “free thinker” talking head fuckos show up, and they start filling gullible viewers heads with lies and a tiny bit of racism sprinkled in.

I know I’ve already responded once, but this line reminded me of that absolute motherfucker Sam Harris.

I am staunchly atheist and at the time it was nice having some outspoken and seemingly thoughtful atheists promoting the idea that you don’t need religion to be a decent person.

However, that quickly became an excuse and cover for racism. People like Richard Dawkins soon showed their ass and how they were just as adamant about their own unhinged beliefs as religious people. (Dawkins lost me when he suggested that children shouldn’t be allowed to read fiction or “fairy stories” so they “know how to separate fact from fiction.” What a fucking yutz.)

What’s even wilder to me is that the pipeline to racism ended up also turning into a pipeline into religion for men through the Manosphere. We literally have seen a drop in atheist men and an increase in atheist women. This is after nearly two decades of “outspoken atheists” who happen to mostly be male!

Pushing the trad-wife lifestyle and Christianity are popular as hell with young men, especially under the auspices of “controlling women.”

They still like to selectively act like they care about things like “evidence.” They are right now disingenuously presenting the long-well-known-among-women side-effects of birth control as a pretense to try to ban it.

As an atheist, watching men who started out in an atheism pipeline be brought into the religious pipeline through racism is fucking wild.

EDIT: Sam Harris was also one of those early “Won’t take no for an answer about a debate” guys when you’re absolutely not interested in a debate with them. His emails with Chomsky are a perfect example of two people talking past each other, because Harris isn’t actually as interested in listening to Chomsky (especially at first, when he says he does not want to debate.) as much as he is interested in getting his opportunity to voice his opinion at someone whether that person wants to hear it or not. There’s a lot of these fuckin guys around now. Debate me!!!

The sketch supports the assertion that punk died in the early 80’s. That’s all.

*throws trashcan through window

who is on Lemmy (the sociology of Lemmy)

I dont know if this has been asked before or if this may be a little goofy of a question but I didn’t see anything relating to it and I’m kinda curious what the culture of Lemmy is like and what sort of common things people see. ive been paying attention to interactions but nothing is as good as just asking everyone.
