Since the initial push, I have not even had to reset my ublock... stop using Chrome

I even put it in the Tl:dr though, a government paying for its citizens healthcare is likely going to push for Flouridated water, both is the default, "why not both" is a redundant argument, and OP is still referring to universal healthcare as "magic money" which is disingenuous, stupid, and a private healthcare propaganda sound byte

Its not the magic of free money, thats literally what tax $ are for. And when the government pays for healthcare, suddenly, for some reason, they care more about legislation that keeps its citizens healthier. Stop eating the propaganda that private healthcare tries to sell you, universal healthcare is as free as libraries, paved roads in cities, and clean water in proper 1st world countries is. Private healthcare is more expensive in literally every sense than universal healthcare is.

tl:dr: You want flouridated water? A government that has to pay for the dental costs of its citizens is going to have a hell of a lot more incentive to keep flouridating the water as long as it doesnt cause healthcare costs elsewhere

US healthcare is the most expensive healthcare in the world because it can push people and insurance companies around. The rest of the 1st world pays LESS than the US does for itd healthcare because governments have the power to tell healthcare providers to go fuck themselves if they try and charge too much

Discord had the heat of litigation forced in their direction, thats the difference between Suyu and the nutjob communities. If some company threatened legal consequences if discord didnt nuke one of the nut job communities, I doubt they would be any less hesitant to nuke said communities than they were for Suyu

[–] Kedly@lemm.ee 3 points 7 months ago

I mean, Suyu is already jumping to new locations on the internet, so whack a mole/hydra is still in effect

[–] Kedly@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

I mean, Suyu already seems to be jumping to a different medium, so it sounds like this situation wouldnt have gone any differently had Suyu had their main support hosted anywhere else. Nintendo would have nuked any of the support locations, and Suyu would then have to jump to a new safe haven

I mean, my response earlier probably still works for those who'd prefer discord as a support channel to other Foss channels: This is far more of a Nintendo bad moment than it is a Discord bad. I doubt foss alternatives would have the lawyers to fight Nintendo better than Discord can. And while my mind immediately thought of a hydra anology that Foss might have, hasnt the hydra already activated anyways? Suyu is already jumping into different hosting mediums

Welp, at least their price isnt my problem anymore, because I'm done giving them any money

Like, they DO focus pretty well on making fun games. But that isnt enough anymore to overlook how fucking Cyberpunk they act in our modern boring dystopia

Oh, maybe its my deep dive into fear and hunger that makes this scene feel familiar then, as I know Beserk played a HUGE inspiration for Fear and Hunger

I dont think it is, but this reminds me of that one scene with Alucard and now I'm sad
