The insult is about the hypocrisy, not the health care. You’ve missed the point entirely.

Looks like Jason Bateman in the thumbnail

Not really… You know how I reconcile when someone I’m talking to has misconstrued my positions? I reiterate what those positions are, and make it clear what it is that I believe in so that people will not get it confused. It’s very simple.

I don’t react by crying about people misconstruing my positions and then voting for someone who holds the complete opposite views out of some weird form of spite

I don’t want to hate trans people, but someone on this website called “Lemmy” said a mean thing to me and have given me no choice.

Maybe that’s the long term plan. Make this country so undesirable that nobody wants to come here anymore. Boom, immigrant “problem” solved.

Then the brain drain comes…

This is a really bad take.

Clearly, people have learned from history. Unfortunately for us, its our oppressors, and they’ve learned how to avoid the same errors that got them deposed in the past.

You are a fool to disregard the phrase, “learn history or you’re doomed to repeat it.” An absolute fool.

Eh I dunno. I like to imagine some hackers could find a way to pull a “Black Mirror” and trap their consciousness in a virtual prison for all eternity.

I guess really all it takes is a complete lack of morals, ethics or empathy, and literally anyone could do this. I mean look at this fucking guy…

An individual person does not need to go to college to be successful, no.

A nation of people will want a certain % of its population to be at least college educated for a myriad of reasons that I don’t think I need to explain here (including to be successful).

When we see a trend of that % decreasing, it makes sense to take notice.

Oh I’m not talking about that shit either but OK.

I was assuming you meant buying illegal (or quasi-legal) drugs, and in that case, using Bitcoin is very dumb.

yay critical thinking!

Yeah it kind of is… The ones on the bathroom doors at my work place are a little metal plate at the bottom of the door with a grip on it, and a kind of… lip? I don’t know how else to describe it. You can probably find photos if you’re that interested.

But yeah, you kind of have to pause for a split second and brace, then you use your foot on the grip to pull the door open. After one or two times, it’s second nature now.

The George Zimmerman way.

One of the few AI applications I’ve seen that I haven’t completely hated, is Amazon’s AI summary of product reviews. Of course, you have to take it with a grain of salt, because while it will mention negatives every now and then, I’m sure it cannot be completely trusted.

We’re talking of pulling doors open. Unless I misread, I believe you’re describing a method of pushing a door outwards.

My place of work installed those foot pedals around COVID time, and they work just fine.

I’ve also seen the ones that have the pull handle, plus the little piece that extends upwards so you can use your forearm to pull the door open.

I imagine it’s because bathrooms have no point of egress, so the ability to block the bathroom door from the outside (intentionally or not) needs to be avoided at all costs for safety reasons.

Just in time for the fall of American democracy. What could possibly go wrong.
