  • That’s all well and good, but don’t just sit back and hope that healthcare magically improves, or that other healthcare CEO’s start getting their life claims denied.

    Take the current well of anger, and point it towards politicians that will actually fight for free healthcare. It’s not only a public health emergency, but also a “crime” emergency, and one of safety.

    It’s easy to sit behind a keyboard and laugh. It’s slightly harder to sit behind a keyboard and email your local reps. It’s again slightly harder to rally at your local reps office hours or town halls for free healthcare.


  • I remember this happening, and the smell went from just dirty and grim to a little bit of body odour. Many people complained, because they didn’t want to smell people’s BO, whereas 90% of others were just happy to not have clothes that stunk, or to be able to not have a sore throat after being at a club.

    With that said, vaping is so much more commonplace today than smoking was. I’ve been to a few gigs in the last month or two, and people just vape wherever they want. Pretty much every venue, shopping center, and indoor area says you shouldn’t vape, but it’s just not enforced at all.




  • It is British, this is:

    • Chicago Town Microwave Pepperoni Pizza.
    • Bernard Matthews Turkey dinosaurs
    • Potato smiles
    • Chicken dippers
    • Chicken fingers (all four above by McCains)
    • Cajun Curly fries
    • Heinz Spaghetti Hoops
    • Birds Eye Potato Waffles

    It’s a lovely bit of beige, and nice for a treat, but I’d rather have something a bit…less processed?





  • Nice, this was what I was expecting!

    I don’t agree with the post, and I think stretching the stats beyond meaning is more harmful than helpful.

    Now, if you were to frame this as 16m people NOT being treated for preventable illnesses that would likely be treated in most western countries, that is a damning statistic. It indicates that people are walking around ill/injured for no reason other than greed, draining hospital resources further. It also indicates a lack of quality in care, since those doctors that could be getting their reps in learning to administer specific drugs or procedures don’t get to because “insurance says no lol”.









  • Haha, it’s so weird that the only people that have caught on that are my sneezes are my wife and my parents. My wife used to think it was cute, until she realised that her smelling it basically means she’s breathing in my sneezes, which is pretty grim.

    It’s maybe 1 in 5 sneezes, but I can almost always tell when it’s going to be a “smelly” one.
