I learned what cowards Americand are when it was admitted that the Iraq War was started on lies and everyone just shrugged and went about their day.

I enjoy y'all acting like this couldn't happen with flatpak or AppImages

I whole heartedly disagree

It was indeed. It was used to disparage Asians modifying their cars and then anyone modifying an Asian car. Because haha Asians eat rice so funny.

Apparently a bunch of the Linux community thought this was a good term to adopt for reasons I don't understand. The mental gymnastics I see trying to make this not racist is tiring.

By this definition there are no such things as war crimes. Everything is justified because it's the other group's fault.

My stepdad had to take a loan out against the house to pay for shoulder reconstruction that his insurance deemed unnecessary.

To put that in perspective I have a nonemergency going on right now. I need to replace my CPAP. To do so I need a new prescription for one. In order to do that I need to go to my primary doctor to get a referral to a sleep specialist. That appointment cost me $250. The sleep specialist basically told me yup I need a CPAP just like the past 7 years. That cost me $370. So now I've paid $620 in order to pay $800-$1000 for a new CPAP.

I think my company's pays about $600 a month for my insurance and I pay about $150 for premiums. It's insane.

Both of you are thinking in terms of efficiency and not control. You're dependent on your job to get health care. Lose your job? Better not get sick or hurt.

Of course the new thing is to not give employees too few hours so you legally don't have to provide health insurance for them and make them pay for it themselves. Which is much more expensive.

Sure there's Medicaid, but first you have to qualify. Then there's different parts that cover different things and not others. You may also still have copays, deductibles, and other charges you still have to worry about.

Weird, then why did 6'4" me have such a hard time until my late 20s?

Where I use to live was all private. CenturyLink was the only option as they had an agreement with Comcast that Comcast wouldn't come into my area.

I paid $60/month for 500kbps down. Yes kilobits.
