As usual it's the endless cycle of big pharma trying to rip off your insurance company. They probably figure that if you're a fatty with a diabetes diagnosis your insurance will almost certainly cover the GLP1 agonists, which has a sticker price of around $1,000 a month without insurance. Can't...

Sounds like the dog "embarrassed" her so she killed it, pretty psychopathic. I really don't think it's worth paragraphs of lengthy analysis just because she's some sort of minor celebrity. It's a pretty open and shut case of terrible pet owner. Those exist, it's not that surprising.

GPT is really good at coding and it wasn't even designed for it. Only a question of time before half of those nerds get laid off by the AIs they helped create. How's that for some justice

Things don't really work that way. Power needs to keep the illusion of democracy. If a change is done too suddenly, people will end up on the streets in protest. They always need to boiling frog you into the desired endgoal. They can't start blocking people from their bank accounts willy nilly...

You shouldn't be drinking tap water either way. Get a reverse osmosis system or a distiller.

I didn't like really like either of them, didn't even finish watching them. I would probably go with The Last of Us as being "better" because it feels more realistic, like it could actually happen.

There's a couple of shops in my area ran by what could be best described as some sort of leftist, vegan, smug pseudo-intelligentsia who pride themselves on not accepting cash because "It's the future" or there might be Invisible Dots of Doom™ (Coof) on it. Like using cards only and having every...

Chrome is spyware. Do yourself a favour and use something else.

There are some Muslim countries that accept refugees, e.g. Iran and Turkey. Kuwait also accepts them, but are much more selective. They're typically never given citizenship (only residency) and they're always treated as second-class citizens, but they can live and work without issues. If you...

You vill eat ze bugs and you vill like it!

I can't really tell the difference. Pepsi tastes like it's maybe a little less sweet and a little more acidic, but we're talking about subtle differences. There's some people who have done blind taste tests where they have to find the coke and pepsi, and they usually get it wrong. Which shows...

It doesn't help that the US never updated its' food policies for modern times. The government still implicitly uses a "prevent starvation" approach to food by subsidizing junk crops with high calories and low nutrition. Americans need the opposite: lower calories, higher nutrition. At this point...

The sex crime recidivism rate for offenders without chemical or physical castration is 50%. With castration it's around 3%. It's very effective, and it's the only treatment that exists for pedophilia. Your argument seems to boil down to "Well it's not 0% so it's not even worth making the...

I suppose it could be construed as a teaching moment in that if the kid goes out in the world and provokes people in this way he'll get knocked out. The point would be to educate or shame the teen so that he doesn't get knocked out... not knocking out the kid yourself lmao. That teacher wasn't...

It won't go anywhere. Japan's police and legal system is extremely corrupt. The political system is also corrupt. It's not like the garden-variety corruption that people constantly bitch and blow out of proportion in the west; it's the real deal. Often this surprises people because they assume...

This is like insurance, they only offer it to you because there's money to be made over a large sample size. It's not impossible that you could be the one house of a thousand that gets unlucky and can get a benefit out of it, but for 99% of households it's just money wasted. If something did...

Seems like the guy's brain just couldn't process the situation. If he had taken the conscious decision to not intervene, you'd expect him to get out of the line of fire. Instead he just sat there while his two remaining braincells were debating whether pineapple belongs on pizza or not.

This was rolled out ad hoc on the heels of the UK's 1976 $3.9 billion IMF loan, which imposed the cutting of public spending as a condition for receiving the loan. Default on this loan is also what lead to electricity privatization in the UK. The World Bank's IMF is a predatory organization that...

From what I recall there was a study on intelligent people which found that they were more likely to be emotionally well-rounded than average. The stereotype that if you're intelligent that means you're socially inept is just that, a cultural stereotype, it's not true statistically. The "idiot...

I don't think the government should get involved in it (basically eugenics) but I do think it's morally wrong. People keep talking about how it's the Downs' couple "right" to do it and it's their "right" to be happy. The narcissistic whims and wishes of a couple who has no comprehension of...
