You’d probably have to be gushing blood out of every orifice to have less than a four hour wait in an American ER at this point.

And if you need pain relief, good luck.

It’s not much of a win if all the other vaccines get thrown out. Not dying from polio doesn’t really matter as much when it’s easy to die from measles, mumps, etc.

As long as you are “certainly convinced,” the truth doesn’t matter now does it?

I was in the ER in the U.S. three times in 2022/2023. This is a town with two hospitals in a metro area of less than 100,000 people.

The shortest wait time, when I got there at 4 am and no one was around, was six hours. Which was when he gave up and went home in Canada.

Maybe ‘apparent’ is the right call here…

Cool how medical errors that kill people never happen in the wonderful U.S. medical system.

There’s a black woman using her body language to nonverbally communicate what we all said upon seeing this…

“WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK???!!!”

I grew up in Indiana and live here once again. I wish I could say that. I really do. All I could do was shake my head.

I’m just not sure why the AP is doing it. They haven’t seemed especially pro-Milei before this. Maybe because Trump is coming in to office and they want to suck up to the new guy in charge?

Me too. Thanks.

Maybe you shouldn’t worry about them being compelling when the alternative was fascism.

How are you still arguing this?

I had a Minidisc recorder I would use for field audio recordings back in the 90s and I really loved the format. Small, portable, didn’t fuck up like a DAT but was close enough in quality to work in most instances, and basically indestructible.

You could probably drop a Minidisc from the top of a skyscraper and put it back in the player after dusting it off and there wouldn’t be an issue.

Fuck this guy for tweeting it to the company that made the game.

He could have just not played and shut up about why, but he had to let us all know that he very definitely has a penis.

My favorite games of all time tend to be party-based, like Syndicate, the Wasteland games, the original two Fallout games, Baldur’s Gate games, etc.

So I guess when given the choice, I always play… um…

Isn’t the point of role playing playing a role?

Like, you know, actors do?

I remember when this totally broke my immersion back in the 1990s…

Didn’t they understand that I wanted to raid tombs as a MALE?!

Good luck! Your predecessors did it and you can too!

People are cheering because Mitch McConnell is fighting back against RFK banning the polio vaccine. Literally the only reason he cares is because he had polio as a kid. And if every other vaccine gets banned, he probably won’t say a damn thing.

He and his fellows have a total lack of empathy. No comprehension of any sort of suffering they haven’t personally experienced.

“Being poor isn’t a problem. I’ve never been poor.”

“Getting raped isn’t a problem. I’ve never been raped.”

And, of course, “bigotry isn’t a problem, no one’s ever called me a name because of my skin color.”

Interesting how this article starts out making everything sound bright and cheery but the further you read on, the worse everything sounds.

What do you call ‘burying the lede’ when the lede is a large portion of the article? That seems inadequate.

OpenAI defended its practices as fair use.

That’s a weird way to admit to murder.

You would think, as a prince, he would have immunity.
