If you were one of the top people in an MLM, would you leave? You know it's wrong and predatory but you're making butt load of money. Tom (I wonder) is in a similar boat. Maybe he doesn't believe it's predatory but the money and power makes it that much easier to look the other way.
Ok fine. I'm definitely not voting for Hunter Biden then.
Money/resources.
How do you "simply" remove the corruption of insurance? The sole purpose of insurance is to take in as much money as possible and pay out as little as possible. I would argue that it's not corruption, it's greed but that is by design. Government already provides plenty of other services that aren't profit driven. The roads that the government builds using tax payer money isn't generating profit. The public school that the government runs using tax payer money isn't generating profit. Social security, medicare, medicaid, fire department, VA, public libraries, all run using our tax dollars. Even the army that the government runs isn't profit driven but there are other companies that have propped up to take advantage of it and have bought lawmakers to be able to easily take advantage (toilet seat that costs 10k anyone?) My argument is that the government inherently isn't bad or inefficient, it's the lawmakers that we vote for and don't vote out that are the problem. Because it's the government for the people by the people we can vote them out but we can't vote out a CEO of an insurance company or board of directors of military contractor company.
It's not free. We pay using taxes. Instead of paying a middle man whose sole purpose is to make money, you have a government run service that isn't profit driven. Is it efficient? No. Is there a better alternative? Also probably no but I haven't heard of one. If there is one that is being used somewhere in the world and isn't something theoretical, I would love to learn about it.
I don't speak Spanish but I love the word "El sacapuntas" which sounds like a bad word but means pencil sharpener.
That's why I say "dub dub dub" it confuses people and I have to explain that it's www which is short for world wide web but I saved a little bit of time by saying dub dub dub......wait a minute......
Nepali has quite a few.
का. म. पा. (Ka ma pa) - Kathmandu Mahanagar Palika - Greater Kathmandu Metro.
मा. प. से. (Ma Pa Se) - Madak Padartha Sewan - directly translates to taking of illicit substance but is used to describe DUI
ने. बि. (Ne Bi) - Nepal Bidhyarthi - Nepal student (Association)
भु. पु. (Bhu Pu) - Bhoot Purva - Past/previous.
There are more that I'm blanking out on right now.
Rotating is too much work. It’ll be right side up in the end anyway so I didn’t do it. Now what?
Literally anything looks better when comparing to the highlighter jersey...but this does objectively look good.
I would love the option for reader view to be a togglable option in settings for opening sites by default. This is especially helpful for news articles. This was a feature in Apollo and I think it's available in few other lemmy apps like memmy. Thank you.
As always with most things in our capitalist society, it's better for shareholders if general population injests microplastics than for them to spend money on products to prevent it. Capitalism only spends money on things that bring profit, not to make a world a better place. If while making that profit the world becomes a better place, that's a marketing win.
Do you have a link to that ltt video? I would love to watch that as well. Thanks.
One word, gerrymandering.
How do I set all to be my default feed when the app opens??
Just ordered a keychain q2 instead. Thanks for the recommendation.
I reached out to ducky and got no response back. I’m out of warranty so no warranty replacement. I think a new keyboard is in my future. Thanks for your help.
hello wonderful folks, I have a Ducky One 2 SF and recently my Tab and Esc key stopped working. I've taken the keyboard apart (as much apart can be taken without de-soldering the switches) and cleaned it all out. The switch itself works (verified using a multi meter and shorting the pins in the back with a screwdriver) however the signal isn't sent to the computer. I've verified using a keyboard tester website to verify that every other key is registering except these 2. Anyone run into something similar?
Which rotation is the easiest to learn? I'm trying to get the single kill for the diary but may cap him(her?) Long term. Combat stats are all 85-ish. Got blowpipe and swamp trident.
It doesn't happen consistenly but happens quite frequently. If you swipe to vote, it no longer registers the scroll. To get out of it, you have to either tap somewhere on the screen (which doesn't register as a tap) or slight swipe to vote without actually triggering the vote. Then, scrolling happens normally.
