Cornel West I assume?

It’s not just “can this hospital take care of you” but “is this hospital ‘in network’ for you”. If you’ve got full coverage but are unconscious and somebody takes you to the wrong place you might as well not have any insurance at all.

I’m insured through my job, and they have a $500 deductible for ambulance rides. I can uber to the hospital for 1/10th that price!

Oof that sucks. I’m always paranoid that something like that will happen.

lmao, but also maybe I’ve been lucky but I’ve never had a boss so bad I would do this to 'em. All of my job exits have been amicable and known about well in advance of my last day

I think the system is too stable with Putin at the head, and his personal conservatism trickles down into all of the country’s institutions.

Maybe when he dies there will be an opening for someone or some group with another vision for the country. Nobody who gets thrown around as a potential successor to him now has anywhere near the political capital he has, and would have to perfectly navigate a transition to a post-Putin political system in order to remain on top, something which might be made impossible by conditions outside of their control.

Stalin called it in 1926

What would happen if capital succeeded in smashing the Republic of Soviets? There would set in an era of the blackest reaction in all the capitalist and colonial countries, the working class and the oppressed peoples would be seized by the throat, the positions of international communism would be lost.

But if I point out to somebody that their grandparents probably deserved it everyone goes all “now’s not the time” and kicks me out of the funeral.

another kkkrakkker down

Been awhile since I watched one but I remember having exactly the same reaction. I could listen to David Attenborough talk about the wonders of nature for hours without stopping, but then you watch an American version of the same thing and it’s the exact same awful narration style that they use for every single awful reality TV show, it sucks.

And when they get onto a subject that I know a thing or two about I find dozens of errors in the narration, and wonder how many other wrong things I’ve been told so far in this stupid docu series. I’ve fucking read Wolves: Behavior, Ecology, and Conservation by David Mech, his 2003 omnibus (though I have the 2007 edition) written after a lifetime of studying those animals, so don’t try to tell me about alpha/beta pack shit with a wild population.

TIL but also I’m not remotely surprised.

the classroom litter box thing was something a school experimented with in case students needed to pee during a school shooter drill. Chud media circulated a story claiming that it was to accommodate “furry” students who identified as a cat and didn’t want to use the toilet.

only to watch the kids select a new mundane word to describe a dick.

🍆💦🍑

I’m just a fan of watering vegetables 😎

My theory is that they constructed the verse “YouTube poop” style from things he’s said on his show.

I honestly think Musk might have expected it to crash and burn by now and might be frustrated that it hasn’t. The debt for purchasing it goes away if the company declares bankruptcy, and he probably wants to write off the purchase of X dot com and a bunch of other shit but can’t do it as long as Twitter is solvent.

this sucks but I expect a scraper version will come along to do the same thing while taxing Twitter’s servers twice as hard.

It’s hard to come at this with a “we need to do what the right does, but leftistly” mindset because fundamentally what the right and left offer are incompatible things. JP and co say to young men who are being hurt by the system, “you deserve to be treated like a king and here’s a list of boogeymen to blame for why you’re not”, while Hasan and co say “everyone deserves to be treated equally and here’s a sometimes complex and unfulfilling explanation for the problems you’re having”. Young men who have an expectation of privilege are not going to be especially convinced by the person telling them that they shouldn’t have it, which is why men tend to cling to these kinds of reactionary sentiments.

I thought the same thing, it’s like Ben didn’t show up to the studio or the video shoot. The way he barely moves, they might as well have photoshopped his face onto a body double - the way he raps, it’s like a youtube poop.

holy shit it’s me, I got like ten bar b que sauces for christmas and it was the best christmas of my life.

Tankies are basically everyone to the left of Reagan now.
