Non-American here, trying to understand.

Are these prices after insurance? If you have insurance through work, and you've paid a premium for "good" insurance (assuming you can do that for your family), are you still paying insane amounts for medicine and hospital care?

I'm British, and I'd say that this was probably my first time acknowledging what college is like in America. We can legally drink at 18, but we've usually got a year or so of drinking behind us already, so university for us is basically just studying between drinking sessions at a time when it's legal (and encouraged).

Van Wilder seemed absolutely wild to me, especially the idea of dorms outside of a first year, and all the events that US colleges have for people. The basketball scene especially is wild, because university sports are (again) an excuse to drink with people that like playing basketball. It kinda seemed amazing to me, but yeah, being an older guy around students would be my idea of hell nowadays...

I say this as someone in big tech, AI is pushed because it's an easy lie to keep big companies viewed as innovating to shareholders. I say this knowing that Google, Microsoft, Apple, and Amazon have contributed significantly to AI research in the last few years alongside the obvious contributions of OpenAI - the goal isn't groundbreaking AI work, but to act as a smoke-screen to show that nothing else has been delivered.

Google has lost ground in advertising, and is losing customers on many of their services. Amazon is losing ground in cloud computing and in retail. Apple has stagnated with recent poor releases. Microsoft has made ground in cloud, but has struggled in advertising, Xbox, Office, and Windows. They use GenAI to keep their stock price high, otherwise they'd drop like a sack of shit because shareholders would say "what the fuck have you even done in the last half a decade?"

Soundtrack is incredible, it's one of Tara Reid's best roles, the cast is absolutely stacked, and IMO it's basically Deadpool without the costume. It's Ryan Reynolds best movie to date, and if he doesn't return for a second (the sequel doesn't exist) his career afterwards is ultimately pointless.

There was an article back when Brexit happened that stated something few people believed at the time - this will likely result in Trump winning the GOP nomination and securing the white house.

It's exactly the same again. The elite don't see the problem, so working class people vote for the destructive option as it harms those in power as much as it harms them.

It's quite simple, and aligns with why he got in in the first place.

The economy and cost of living is still in the toilet. Trump is a protest vote because competent public servants have failed to even acknowledge that everything costs 2-3x what it did a decade ago. Sad to say, but most people don't give a fuck about LGBTQIA+ rights, Israel, Ukraine, or anything outside of this.

Call it apathy if you want, but it's ultimately a failure of moderates to acknowledge a better social net for people (I.e. left policies) or propping an economy by improving lives for regular people so their money goes further.

Go to your Democratic party and demand change.

Find a candidate that will stand on the basis of free healthcare, equal rights, the right to union, enforcing a higher minimum wage, enforcing paid sick leave and a minimum of 20 days holiday a year, and committing to lowering the cost of living.

Once someone stands up for this, push them to the moon for the next four years. Tell anyone else NOT on this platform to fuck off.

Essentially, America needs a Project 2029.

I imagine a lot of it is to remove current stock, and because the UK has several tobacco companies that moved into vapes, and also employ hundreds

Gigs and concerts are pretty grim for this now too.

Maybe try:

• The Rise of Hobo Johnson by Hobo Johnson
• Outside The Box by Hacktivist
• Jurassic 5 by Jurassic 5
• Control System by Ab-Soul

You won't win this "battle", no matter what you do. Being a mod is a thankless job, and you'll piss people off regardless of which side you take. The only thing you can do is be fair and balanced. List your rules out, enforce mostly to the rules, but add common sense, and regularly check in with the community to get feedback.

I wish someone would keep a list of all the companies that have laid employees off in the last few years, so we can keep tabs on who to not give our business to.
