The way scientists pull information out of multiple sources is soooo cool sometimes...

I'm not a hhuge fan of Jordan Peterson, but this one is spot on. Not so much about him not using trans people's pronouns, I dont agree with that. But his point about being willing to offend people is quite valid. The issue with not using the proper pronoun is **not** because you might offend someone, it is because caring about people is not the same thing as not offending someone. Not using their desired pronouns comes from a place of not caring about someone, using them is not an attempt to avoid offense, its to show them you care.

Sane healthcare would be one that addresses both sides of the equation... greed from unregulated for-profit healthcare that drives prices to insane levels due to supply and demand being broken (demand is infinite since people will give everything to live longer). It also needs to address the other side of the coin with highly-regulated universal health care, which is the lack of a free market to drive quality so things like wait times, availible medications, and other issues arise.

There are a few solutions to this but the best one I have heard is co-op based health care. Essentially healthcare where the owners are the patients of the companies they use, and there are no owners otherwise (so all owners are equal owners). When you move to a new healthcare company then you loose ownership in the old one and gain ownership in the new one.

This gives you supply-demand pressures that ensure your healthcare caters to what you want and need (or else loose their funding by patients moving), but keeps prices in check by eliminating the greed factor since any profits go back to the patients and insurance holders themselves.

Man as much as i hate Harris i gotta admit Trump is just handing it over to Harris. He was literally a laughing stock at the debate.

The company I am CTO at is hiring for experts. IF there are any out there looking for a job (100% remote doesnt matter where you are), let me know!

Palestine just got a seat on the UN general assembly. This is huge

Hooters is just a kid-friendly strip club... prove me wrong.

Donald Trump has many faults but Harris is wrong-- it is better to negotiate with enemies than to support endless wars. #Debate2024

In almost every case were guns were banned the death toll skyrocketed in the years that follow, int he few countries where homicide doesnt change much you still see huge upticks in violent crimes, in particular rape.

You cant be against guns without being for murder and rape.

Shirley Temple's first on screen kiss was when she was 3 years old in a comedy short where she played a prostitute.. yes a 3 year old prostitute....

Friends, I need your help. I know that Instagram isn't the most popular platform on here, but I recently discovered that I need 10,000 Instagram followers before Meta will start paying me to post all the silly stuff I post on Threads. I am currently 4,183 followers away from that goal. Yikes.

So to be blunt, if you have an Instagram account and are willing to follow me on there, it would mean the world to me. Here is a link that I hope you will find to be most clickable:
