I originally posted irregularly on a sub and when I asked a mod for help as to why my posts weren't being approved, he randomly banned me from the sub without asking. I messaged and he said in the future I will be allowed again, he said 30 days....
I have everything pretty much ready to launch full time. Time, skills, customers, support from family. But I'd leave my current job behind and with it my family's health insurance for the foreseeable future. I can't afford any of the options I've seen. It's the one thing holding me back. Any ideas for affordable health insurance...
in a political environment where health insurance has successfully executed regulatory capture of all relevant laws and agencies.
Well said. It blew my mind when Obamacare, and my Massachusetts Romneycare before it, turned "giving people healthcare" into "giving people health insurance".
People wanted health care, they pretended to give it to us, and they ensured it meant more profit for the industry.
They do have versions of the Gemini models that are open sourced, called Gemma. So far they don't work quite as well as the Llama ones from Facebook but I'm sure that will change.
Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don't come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don't really get upset by it...
Interesting take. I definitely see it more with the MAGA crowd. Their idea of it is so absurd too. It's always some half-witted meme where they take a photo of the most frail person they can find and label them a vegan. It's silly, because there are plenty of jacked vegans out there, and there are also frail omnivores.
I understand people's perspectives when it comes to the "meat is murder" vegans but otherwise it's just a diet. I personally switched to eating meat just once a week late last year and I eat vegan most other days. I feel great, but I don't make it anyone else's problem.
No, sorry, eating meat is not the same as murder, it's just nature.
I'm not a fan of factory farms either, but mostly for the antibiotics. The animals do suffer and people who can afford it should probably buy more certified "free range" options, but I'm not about to shame people for their dietary choices or incomes.
If TikTok disappears, I will miss the algorithm.TikTok gives me the right amounts of all of the things I'm interested in. I don't have the same experience elsewhere. Do you?

Technically, almost all video games are puzzle games.
You could probably make a poptarts are sandwiches alignment style thing out of this....
