If you’re quiet and listen closely, you can hear Ted Stevens grumbling about tubes from his grave.

That’s a cowman, look at em.

He’s promoted unproven medical treatments for personal gain, opposed the Affordable Care Act, and supports the expansion of advantage plans aka privatized/subsidized medicare. Pretty mainline republican, but all this likely means more money out of your mom’s pocket for care.

It’s detailed in the last line, but CMS is Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.

As CMS Administrator, Oz would oversee a broad agency that provides coverage through Medicare, Medicaid and other programs to more than 160 million people.

Springer was a lawyer and mayor, at least he’d bring some qualifications.

What the fuck are we doing here. Seriously.

Fuckin retcons, right? Like when The Star Wars suddenly became “Episode 4” pssshh.

All or most of the “powerful” countries being involved, usually directly. Basically take a look at the top military powers, if majority are active boots on ground, running military strategies, fighting and taking a wartime position domestically, you’ve got a world war.

Really though it’s a new-ish term, and highly subjective. WW1 was the Great War until it popped off again. For a modern thought experiment - could the war on terror be considered a world war? Much of the world’s fighting power was dragged into it to some degree, but most people would say no.

Long story short, it’s a ‘world war’ when historians decide it was.

High quality rant

I wish they didn’t feel this pressure to push forward the industry with EP3. Full Half Life 3, maybe, but I would have preferred a closing chapter with the tech and features available.

Yeaah, but they have a similar response whenever they learn a unisex bathroom opened in an airport. It’s entirely unsurprising people lacking two braincells to rub together would look to billionaires to call for an “uprising”.

Sorry, who’s looking to corporate media for “the resistance” ? Seems like a terribly stupid metric to judge this.

Lol the downvotes? Let’s see, the full context here…

“Basically, there really is no such thing as — I need to be careful about saying this, because people will really get upset — there’s really no such thing as a Palestinian,” Huckabee said at a 2008 campaign stop in Massachusetts while speaking to two Orthodox Jewish men. “There’s not.”

In response to a question from one of the men about the possibility of a Palestinian state existing outside of Israel, Huckabee said he believed this was the preferable option.

“You have Arabs and Persians,” Huckabee continued at the 2008 appearance. “And there’s such complexity in that. But there’s really no such thing [as a Palestinian state]. That’s been a political tool to try and force land away from Israel.”

Feeling depressed, trapped, and abandoned. Going through the motions, trying to come to terms that I won’t be a dad because the wife doesn’t want to risk a pregnancy under the conditions, and I won’t be a homeowner because no ones coming to help build houses or stop corporate real estate. Accepting I won’t be starting a business because I can’t risk losing healthcare, and will need every dollar I can hang on to. Settling for serfdom. You know, usual shit.

How are you.

In US and Hell no. I paid for the furniture, I paid for the delivery. My side is done.

I was thinking tesh too, my vote to this one.

I don’t think there’s a way to do this unfortunately. The server would need some software that can route the requests using the user’s preference, a layer above/outside the normal lemmy security.

People that can still afford stuff will be so cool. The hippest tech, biggest cars and newest kicks, everything will be uber exclusive. This is good for america because reasons.

I’m actually pretty sad reading this after the library and community work you shared recently. We’ll need more folks like you to stick around, people that can get positive change done. But also totally understand, need to do what’s best for you and loved ones
