Exaggerating wait times in public healthcare is used as a way to convince USians that their system isn’t as bad compared to others, and that people definitely shouldn’t demand public healthcare in the US. But the fact is that in countries with public healthcare the life expectancy is higher, governments spend less money on healthcare and people are generally much more satisfied with their healthcare system. If waiting times are long it just means that there must be more funding to fix the bottleneck.

Disgusting, these media titans should be held accountable for manufacturing consent on genocide.

They literally ran through the streets ripping and burning Palestinian flags and shouting pro genocide chants one day ago. They’re scum.

If you’re disabled like OP calling the police is dangerous. They will not understand OP’s disability and will make them do stuff that will harm them. It’s better to look for local mutual aid organisations specialised in people with disabilities.

You wash because of the pesticides.

And yet they still won’t call the destruction of Palestine a genocide…

One of the funniest things about American car culture is that Americans probably walk the same distance from their parking spot to the store as I walk from my home.

They get angry because even when they try to mask their racism it still clearly shows.

Wanting to ban mosques, the quran and muslim clothing like niqabs sounds pretty fascist to me (that’s what the biggest political party in The Netherlands wants). Thinking the European far right (that is rapidly gaining grounds) isn’t fascist or fascist leaning is a wild take.

Mathematics breaks sometimes when a sentence refers to itself (because it can create contradicting paradoxes). That’s why such sentences are not allowed in formal mathematics.

This example isn’t really a contradicting paradox yet though, none of the answers are correct hence the question is unanswerable (a logical possibility for an arbitrary question). Other commenters correctly pointed out that this setup would be more interesting if 0% would be one of the given possibilities, because then the question is no longer logically unanswerable hence it would be a contradicting paradox (assuming the question is unanswerable implies a possible answer and assuming that a specific one of the answers is correct implies that it’s not correct)

Middle class people often think that they’re barely getting by but forget that they live larger and more luxurious than necessary.

Maybe start by not referring to them as ‘females’ or talking about ‘luring’ them to your room
