A lot of the myths about medieval people were fabricated during the enlightenment and industrial eras to pump up the idea that modern people were so much better than ye olde boorish savages. Much of it is complete BS. People weren’t nearly as backwards and primitive as we’ve been led to believe.

They were hella superstitious, though.

‘Infiltrating’ makes it sound like some kind of uninvited incursion instead of what it really was – the plan from the start.

The other 38% are either young and healthy enough to have never have had to deal with the healthcare industry or are just so staunchly individualistic they’d rather die than let someone else get a ‘handout’. ‘Taxes are theft’, ‘why should MY money go to blah’, me me me. Lack of empathy and/or a very naïve understanding of what society is actually for.

The results of their research will definitely show there IS a connection. Keep in mind, their camp includes such doctors as the one who believes women’s reproductive health issues are caused by having sex with demons in your sleep.

They’ll absolutely find researchers who will give them whatever ‘data’ and ‘findings’ they want.

Watergate took 3 1/2 years and it was orders of magnitude less complex. Cases of this scale involving political actors have always taken time.

Not with zero money or assets, and without the ability to get a work visa when you’re unable to work, no.

Pretty much nobody wants that kind of immigrant, no matter where you’re from. (I’ve looked.)

e: ‘if I could get proper healthcare, I’d be able to work’ doesn’t fly.

Thanks, I just have to make peace with it, honestly. I’m still in the denial/ anger stage, unfortunately. It feels unfair.

I’m glad you can make it through. Hang in there, and I hope you can enjoy the time you have.

None of us should have to deal with this in the most affluent country in the world, especially when we have more to contribute, and especially when a few greedy cunts are siphoning our resources into a dragon hoard they couldn’t possibly spend in a thousand lifetimes. It’s obscene.

I will die at the altar of their greed. I had much more to do, much more to invent and write and think, but a few dollars they can’t even spend was worth more than my life. So be it.

I learned this a few years ago. Because my condition is lifelong and degenerative, my RVH is quite high, and so my value to insurers and doctors/hospitals has a very low ROI. My care has degraded quite obviously as my condition has deteriorated, to the point I’ve decided I’d rather die at home than bother with healthcare at this point. And I can’t afford it anyhow. That sucks, but I’ve got medical PTSD now, and I don’t want to put myself through the indignity anymore. (eta: I don’t think I deserve the indignity anymore.)

I’m by far not alone in this. I used to be a very productive member of society, and I still could be if I could get even passable healthcare, but I can’t because the system has broken me. I have very in-demand skills that I can’t use, and instead , I’m staring down homelessness now. I cannot afford food.

This system is wasting people’s potential and lives. I will not survive this administration. I likely won’t make it another year.

The US medical system wants me to die, and I feel my compatriots have now voted to accelerate that. I honestly don’t know why I’m still fighting. I feel like I shouldn’t.

I get why the shooter did this. Our lives mean less than nothing. These executives can’t even imagine what it’s like to be using washcloths because you can’t even afford toilet paper.

Eat what you kill indeed. I have a nice recipe for a pork sauce. Humans have been called ‘long pork’.

No. Not even remotely. Not even if I was assured it was a simulation. No.

Cat will out. It is inevitable. Embrace or perish.

Guys, she drowned in a bath. It’s water.

A quicker way to eliminate a variable would be to pour a glass of each to the same level and leave them both out for a day or two. If the levels remain consistent, it’s definitely something about the decanter.

Unfortunately, incompetence and infighting haven’t slowed fascism much in the past. Recklessness fuelled by ignorance actually makes autocrats more dangerous, not less.

For example: Hitler Was Incompetent and Lazy—and His Nazi Government Was an Absolute Clown Show.

The parallels are uncanny.

And specifically, christian nationalism.

They own the traditional media, but not the hundreds of thousands of YouTube and TikTok influencers with millions of followers each.

The revolution will be vlogged.

Because irony has been bludgeoned to death by these bigots, I’d like to point out they’ve already been performing sex-reassignment surgery on intersex infants to make them conform to a binary sex, without the knowledge or consent of the baby and sometimes the parents. That’s been happening for ages in some places.

So all their tantrums over kids getting sex surgeries are technically true, except they have it completely backwards. It’s done to newborns to force traditional conformity, and they’re the ones doing it.
