Finally figured out that Putin lies to him. Probably the last person on the planet to do so.

You might have to wait if what you have is a non life threatening condition as people who have a life-threatening condition will take priority over you no matter who you are. It is the trade-off for a more cost effective system. But after you've received your treatment you leave the hospital without even seeing a bill except maybe for a parking fee.

Meanwhile in the US, unless you are wealthy enough to afford to pay for your own healthcare or at least a premium health insurance you are left to wait with life threatening conditions and might even be left to die by your insurance company who will purposefully delay until your death to maximize their profits. And then they'll still send you an eye-watering bill on top of having charged you a premium that is twice what Canadians pay in their taxes for their healthcare.

At the rate things are going, I wouldn't be surprised if most of that money will end up in the pockets of new American oligarchs.

Every time I watch a clip of Fox News talking about Canada, it feels like watching the equivalent of what North Korea propaganda probably says about South Korea in their news. It is pure disinformation and propaganda trying to convince their audience that the outside world is different and scary and that they are in the best place in the world. They know their target audience hasn't and never will travel outside of their own state to know any better.

All the alarms have been going off for months now. But every organization that were supposed to do something about it were disbanded, defunded or rendered powerless.

Corporate jargon translation:

"It's going to limit innovation" = "We won't be able to use those new ways of ripping off our customers anymore"

Clearly Lithuania and Bolivia teamed up to invade half of the world. This is the flag for the empire of Lithuivia.

Here's a controversial one: Target shooting.

It used to be a skill you honed, going to the range to become better every time. Participate in competitions, meet people. It was a great hobby.

And then the idiots who unironically wear Punisher logos ruined it.

I saw a clear separation between me and the idiot part of the demographic who enjoys the show at the Pickle Rick episode.

It wasn't funny. It wasn't even a good story or episode. It was just the writers deciding to come up with the most blatantly random thing for the sole sake of randomness.

Jason was a constant agent of chaos and destruction.

Fatima would either do absolutely rubbish at a task or be a superhuman genius at it with no in-betweens.

Both were extremely entertaining.

But I think Mathew was extremely underrated. He was the master of plot twists wherever he could create one.

He's just gonna grovel in front of Putin even harder thinking that maybe this time it will work.

Soju.

It is a little bit like vodka. It is served ice cold, tastes like mildly sweet water and comes in a beer-style bottle so people who don't know what it is drink way too much of it too fast and then get hit like a hammer. The bottles are meant to be poured into shot glasses and shared. It has 20-25% alcohol content and some drinks are sold premixed with a juice flavor like the example in the picture.

It is extremely cheap too in South Korea. You can buy a 20 pack case for less than $1/bottle there. You can get alcohol poisoning for less than $10.

They would have been decent EVs had they not put all that stupid proprietary tech in it. They essentially enshitified cars.

Insurance premiums for Teslas have been skyrocketing because of this.

Imagine buying a car and your car payments keep going up over time because the repair costs rack up faster than your payments.

So they really plan to keep escalating what they're doing until rebellion happens. And instead of trying to not piss off the entire population to not get a rebellion, they instead prepare to fight the population.

They're literally orchestrating a civil war and they know it.

Ah yes, the US is destroying itself financially so it can pay to destroy itself demographically.

I think that Trump's policie's most powerful effect on immigration will be to turn the US into such a shithole that starving people in poverty stricken third world countries will see moving there as a downgrade.

Musk is looking for another boot to lick after the last one kicked him in the teeth and stepped all over him. Spoilers Elon: All boots eventually do that.

Unknown Worlds was already dead anyway.

The team had already lost any chance of recreating the greatness of the first game when their sound designer made unbelievably stupid comments on social media, leaving the company no choice but to fire him.

This is very sad because I loved their stuff ever since the Natural Selection Half-life mod.

Someone who clearly brushes his teeth once a month at most.
