Worked sooo great the last time.

This, but unironically.

WDYM, the system is still the bad-vs-worse with no path to citizen interests in sight.

consider engaging in the aforementioned tactics

I can't.

instead of yelling at people who have a plan

to fail again. But you're right, that's your country to blow.

Have you considered that I could be living with the consequences? USpol dysfunction has an unpleasantly wide reach across the globe.

The majority, including the slice that votes the lesser evil because they don't want the larger evil, realizes the current sports team rivalry is no substitute for a government, coordinates and votes independent. US gets a government representing the interests of Americans until either the lobbying mechanism gets eradicated or the government gets repurchased anew. Yes, I know, I am idealistic.

To any non-js dev taking this too seriously: A good half of the technologies mentioned in this meme are redundant, you only need to learn

how to stay the fuck away from webdev

(in addition to the language).

I think the joke is your public transport.

monk ,
@monk@lemmy.unboiled.info avatar

See context

@monk@lemmy.unboiled.info avatar

If there was a functioning public transport, they could just, you know, meet.

monk ,
@monk@lemmy.unboiled.info avatar

Yes, and I've personally taken three-day same-country trains before, back when it was the cheaper option. And guess what, non-private planes are also public transport.

monk ,
@monk@lemmy.unboiled.info avatar

Nope, that was about trains. Planes came up later.

What's so concerning about the alternative?

When autonomous cars are good enough to just drive people around

they become autonomous cars. It's not autopilot if I'm liable, simple as that.

I'm sorry, but this is the vanilla trolley problem. Save all but one or avoid going to jail.

Hate to rain on your parade, but it's not like they missed a Shift for a magical language-switch-while-pressed. Mistyping it that way is non-trivial because default language switching is non-trivial.

Fix your detector.

Ah. Haven't thought of that, you're right.

Your iDiOtIc CaSe is no substitution for a valid counteaargument. Neither of your parties represent the interest of the people. Get a third one.

And it's gonna be this way until it deteriorates into absolute dysfunction, isn't it? Because so far it's been 0 times they went "good grief, crisis averted, the right sports team won the election, and now is the time we fix the system". It's always a crisis after a crisis after a crisis.

@monk@lemmy.unboiled.info avatar

No, I cannot.

How does it look like in a proper 80x25?

Hope you're joking, because this is not how any of this works.

Blocking UA access via JS alone is not enough.

Now when we have Matrix, we also need to deal with rescuing people from a NIH protocol designed around a property nobody needs.

Quick, without looking it up, how many days ate there in a Saturn year?

If you don't know, they have successfully bypassed your conscious mind.

Sometimes an ad so shitty that you can't even remember neither logo nor the brand is just a shitty ad.

And before Pidgin was named Pidgin, it was named GAIM, which was short for GTK AIM, which was short for GIMP toolkit AOL IM, which was short for GNU Image Manipulation Program toolkit America Online Instant Messenger, which was short for GNU's Not Unix Image Manipulation Program toolkit America Online Instant Messenger and it never ends.

Each dose is thousands of dollars cash.

LOL, it's because it's not, simple as that.

monk ,
@monk@lemmy.unboiled.info avatar

What part of my comment lead you to believe I was referring to anyone who was able to subvert the customer model?

A plane ticket out of the scam country and back is a pathetic fraction of the "thousands dollars cash per dose" you invoked.

monk ,
@monk@lemmy.unboiled.info avatar

Off-topic? Goalposts? Misinformation?

Now that you've named specific drugs, it's awfully easy to show how US is just a scam: https://www.statista.com/statistics/312014/average-price-of-humira-by-country

The difference between US and the runner-up is worth not just two plane tickets, but a lavish vacation. Just accept it, you're being had and it never crossed your mind to do the reasonable thing.

monk ,

US citizens have the most powerful passport in the world and a cost of living that makes overseas travel profitable. There's no goalposts moving here. Paying a shitton of extortion money for a privilege of not paying the overblown price might be a decision to make might be a dexision they consciously make, but that's not my point. My point is, this medicine does not cost nearly as much, and the only reason >$1000 numbers are thrown around is that nobody in their sound mind pays them. If you're willing to embark on side-discussions, I'm willing to entertain you, just stop bringing up your movable goalposts.

Lastly, the whole point is how in the US quality insurance IS a privilege

Having rights of a US citizen is a privilege. Living in US while having rights of a US citizen is a privilege on top of a privilege. But one doesn't have to. That's absolutely a choice. Repeat after me. An Afghan person with nearly no rights and a cost of ticket to US exceeding their life-long salary doesn't move to US because it's a privilege. But for a US hobo, whose monthly expenses far exceeding a ticket to a sane country they're "magically" already allowed to enter anytime they want, staying in US is a choice. Don't even try to twist that into a privilege. Time and flexibility, my ass. US citizens spawn with a golden ticket and a knob to dial life difficulty to "easy". If they stay in US past their healthy young prime, that's on them.

[being in US is hard]

[then don't]

many in the US can hardly do anything but work

Whatever, you weren't listening anyway.

NixOS is unique because it uses the only potent package manager (if we don't count that one reimplementation of Nix). Calling the others "package managers" becomes mostly a courtesy when NixOS enters the picture.
