That's pretty sad tbh

I feel like a lot of people hate AI

It just doesn't have the same rhetorical effect when you make it even, does it?

When I lived in Canada I paid about $4k a month in taxes, the majority of which went to health care
97.
by johnnienaked 11mo ago
How much of those premiums are paid for by your employer?
98.
by johnnienaked 11mo ago
That's obviously a false dichotomy. Almsot no one is paying $4k/mo for insurance premiums.

Our incomes are far higher too. Health care in the US isn't perfect, but public systems aren't either. The flaws of private health care seem to be a favorite target by people who are biased against the US.

The average cost per person is more in the US (quite a bit more), but as with all statistics the devil is in the details. In a public system like Canada, while the average cost for health care per person is lower, if you make above average

Every employer in the United States with >50 employees must provide health care.

12-15k? Lol the highest one Ive ever seen in a high deductible plan was $7500 and that still had some co-pays and coinsurance

I pay $120/mo. I don't understand. Are you including the employer paid share in this calculation?
104.
by johnnienaked 11mo ago
Ironically, a great many people from public systems actually come here to pay for procedures they cannot get or have to wait ages for.

Your taxes would double, and don't even bother trying to say they wouldn't literally every country with public health care pays twice as much as we do in tax
106.
by johnnienaked 11mo ago
Health care is fine here if you have a decent job. Health care is not that great in public systems and you still pay for it with higher taxes

Very interesting. During the crisis the alternative to the blockade was an airstrike. Did you ever find out how many of these warheads were operational when the decision was made to blockade?

Standard current US ICBM is 800kt I think. They found the sweet spot. Biggest one ever tested was 50MT

Drive out to a datacenter and see for yourself. They're built right next to substations and water reservoirs. That can't be a coincidence.

Nevada tests, done north of Las Vegas, were all pretty small, and they produced flashes visible from LA. Imagine a big one.

And then they merged with Boeing...

It's so similar to AA191

That's not how they did it though. Trusted institutions are only really needed in a trustless society and reliance on them as a source of truth is a really new trend. Society used to be trustful.

There's no ability for them to do so. They have a pathetic conversion rate and lose 3x as much money as they make.

Why on earth did you get downvoted?

This is the way to defend the free spirit of the internet.

If you understand how they operate and you are reasonable and unbiased there is no way you could consider it thinking

The simulation hypothesis rests on shaky assumptions

Fair enough I will. I agree with what you said about underestimating provocations
