Which would actually save money!

I’ve wondered the same thing. Seems like it would need to be paired with price controls or public control of essentials, but that’s sort of a “seize the means of production” conversation that I don’t think would be popular unless something like AI genuinely puts enough people out of work.

It’s almost like a healthcare system that creates an arms race between health insurance companies denying care vs healthcare providers overcharging leaves us paying huge amounts of $$ while not receiving adequate coverage.

Yeah, they’re kind of right that “unnecessary care” happens, but they’re conveniently ignoring that they are a large contributor to the problem. Without insurance companies leaving hospitals and patients on the hook for thousands at a time, you might not see $20 bandaids, $2000 ambulance rides, and expensive tests that didn’t really need to be done.

We can do so much better…

Anything that plays games on discs, including PlayStation, feels recent to me.

I formatted it the same way as you, but I right clicked the image and ‘opened image in new tab’ so that the URL I copied pointed directly to the image rather than the whole page.

It’s not working for me either.

I think maybe because it wasn’t linking to solely the image? Let me try:

It’s keeping him warm

They truly do be like: “failed to load media”

It’s such a a fun game. And the time travel mechanic was really creative.

There’s a fake one circulating (that even made it to the IMDB page!) that got me to look up the original.

Here’s the fake:

Yeah, I like PugJesus and have full confidence.

Thanks for tagging me. This is a little upsetting. =(

I think this is a good time to remind everyone that the strength of federated social media (and a big reason why we’re all here) is that no private company or country’s laws can have total control over the fediverse.

Everyone who runs an instance is going to have a different risk-tolerance for legal issues however, and I can’t fault anyone for making a judgment call that they feel best protects the server and their users. I don’t know anything about Dutch or Finnish laws, but I’ve seen many recent articles about people arrested in Germany for their social media posts that were considered hateful or violent (which is frankly a culture shock to me as an American), so I can see why some of the posts on Lemmy in the past week would be concerning.

In my interactions with the .World admins, I’ve seen nothing but people trying to run an instance in the most fair and neutral way they can, and I personally trust them to make the hard calls when they come up. That being said, if you’re frustrated with the legal concerns of a host’s country or have had a run-in with a mod that upset you, it only strengthens the fediverse if you spread out or create similar communities elsewhere.

I tried pineapple on pizza, and it’s actually pretty good.

Wait, what?!

There’s a purple ranger?

Imagine if this is what gets big corporations to lobby for gun control.

Damn, I did too!
