  • You're defending on a claim of intent, when all we have is observation and trending to go on.

    How are we supposed to live up to the omniscient standard you set for us?

    Can people not just proof-read their shit as if they were grown-ass adults with two brain cells to rub together? What explains the absolute inability to go back and correct mistakes, and should we magically know it's not just apathy and disrespect?

  • Using discord is fine; as long as you use it for what it does best.

    You want docco that exists outside discord? Don't put it in there. We have enough wisdom to know the difference, or we shouldn't be making these decisions. (See 'systemd bloat')

  • A year after a pandemic that saw belligerent and violent science-deniers push experts out of the medical field and we're still recovering. This should have been expected, but we obviously thought better of our less community-minded citizens. In another forum I'd wonder why they weren't tased far, far more.

    What I know from living under the most mercenary healthcare system I can find - America - and under our own, is what we don't want to become. And the same people riling the science-deniers into a frenzy of pique over the most miniscule of discomfort are going to now suggest that our healthcare is irreparably damaged and that their mercenary friends assure them the only way forward is backward into an American system. I urge those leaders to relocate their family members under that system for a while before they pitch it further.

    In the recent past we removed monthly premiums based on income, instead of tuning it better, which in the past heavily offset operating costs. We defunded capital for land, facilities and equipment. We privatised as much as humanly possible, and beyond, in some shell game of expense hiding after destroying consolidation gains. We've got a system that is less fair, less fluid, rife with cost duplication, forces units to compete for artificially-scarce talent and goods, and publicizes the costs while privatizing profits. Running crucial public services as closed-book private for-profit enterprises is so American I'm sure the CEOs are imports.

    Reinstate what was working, grow funding for staff and equipment through fair taxation and keep the funds where required through single-payer sourcing, mandated open-book policies and non-profit management styles. Fund medical training through 100% cost deferment while a student is studying at an open-books, non-profit university, with a sweetheart cost- and interest-deferment while they reside and work in Canada. Fund this brutally on the backs of the mercenary colleges for another de-enshittification effort.

    While I continue to be paid well for my work, I think we need more taxation to programmes preventing things we're already complaining about. Tax and Spend is anathemic to self-centered conservatives but it's the engine of happy, stable societies. And it's key in us rebuilding our healthcare. We cannot support a healthcare system that competes with itself and forces that costs onto everyone and disproportionately onto groups that require more care to get back into a tax-paying status.

  • What do you think software engineers work on for Hershey? They don't make chocolate in a cloud factory. Factory automation needs iron moved around, and there you go.

    I'm sorry you wouldn't think so. I've seen far sketchier.

  • I don't want to filter out the max8/max8 planes because of bad pitot tubes or blowouts or nosedives.

    I want to filter them out because even on a good day they're horribly appointed terrible airplanes with absolutely nothing redeeming about them.

    And I fly the fancy seats.

    The fact they even HAVE a configuration where the back loo is right next to the galley with an open-air American-style bathroom partition separating the two, that should get someone arrested.

  • I understand our voting system. None of what you said mathematically proves anything.

    So, once they DO prove it you just refuse to listen.

    I've tried to debate this type of person. Eventually people just stop wasting their time and spread the word that it's pointless. Watch for a situation you may misinterpret as no one wanting to challenge you because of your debate skills; you're only half right.
