FYI Izzy got permabanned for stating this opinion. That's really insane.

The fact that public healthcare probably won't happen is different from the argument that we should trust predatory insurance companies.

Plus you don't have to go to China for public health care. You could go to Canada or the UK, obviously. And they're capitalist as fuck. Although capitalism will likely get rid of their public healthcare eventually, they haven't succeeded yet.

Cumming to my relentless trust for insurance agency middlemen.

His political ideology is 100% the point of the song. It's the only thing he's singing about.

You're acting like he did an instrumental song and people ridiculed him for past behavior instead. No. He's complaining that poor fat people eating government fudge is ruining his life lol. He's a fucking moron.

Spotify is garbage. You pay them to basically pirate unlimited music (they pay table scraps). They have no values or integrity, but they do have a greedy business model.

I buy albums off bandcamp instead. Or from the artist's site directly.

Therapy is never a cure. If you have a problem then therapy can help you confront it and deal with it, but if we have a massive society-wide mental health crisis it will not be solved by each man individually seeking therapy.

We need meaning in our lives, something worth dedicating ourselves to, and the means to pursue it. Mercenary capitalism won't provide that.

In short, I don't see an answer. I think it will get worse.

Addendum:

Most importantly, this new wave of mental health problems is not caused by a new wave of "not being vulnerable." It's a societal issue and must be confronted there, not shunted onto each individual man.

Maybe you can host your own private instance and smirk as you block everybody while the rest of us communicate.

This nonstop suggestion of "hOst yOuR oWn iNstAnCe" is rarely a good solution. They already know it's an option. You never provide anything when you say it, except to display your own smug smirk as you tell your fellow lemurian to get lost.

The nice thing about federation is that we can all go fuck ourselves and die alone on our personal private servers under a bridge.

This is basically an ad saying "if you want to get laid visit reddit." Honestly reddit probably suggested it. They're going to coin the phrase "reddit and chill."

Reddit and Windows (lemmy.world)

Today I installed Windows on my laptop and then I visited Reddit without being logged in. The two experiences are very similar.

I usually use Linux, so installing a new OS is really clean. You just end up with an empty operating system and you can do whatever you want.

But while installing Windows the damn program kept asking me for information and pressuring me into giving up my email address and phone number. Then when I finally got in, it's full of apps like fucking D!sney and Sp0tify... GTFO.

Then I go on Reddit, which I usually think of as a place where people post funny paragraphs and interesting questions... BUT NO... now it's just a splash page full of pictures and ads and other bullshit.

I know that you already know this, but it's sooo annoying and ugly.

I had no idea, but apparently the co-founder of Mozilla is also the creator of Brave and inventor of Javascript, and was removed from Mozilla after giving $1,000 to support anti-gay-marriage efforts. That's quite a career.
