Sounds about right.

Ding-ding-ding! We have a winner!

anything other than full single payer is evil

Now you're getting it!

Anything other than full free health coverage for everyone is evil.

Indeed

If you don't agree with single payer you literally view me as sub-human!

Leave it to GAF to take a slam dunk issue you should be able to win any debate on like American healthcare reform and turn it into a nauseating virtue signal excercise. That almost certainly makes any undecided observers actively hate you.

[benjipwns]

It's the kind of thing that almost makes you quote a post about a wife whose husband died from brain cancer and say "health care, let alone health insurance, cannot be a human right in a free society."

But that would be a lie. It's the wife's use of "irony" to mean "coincidental" that could cause this. (Also the fact that she contacted her U.S. Senator to bitch about something the state government was doing.)

[benjipwns]

I find it's generally more fun to bitch about GAF here than actually post there.

I don't think those GAF posters would accept large parts of the French, German, Dutch or Swedish systems if they actually knew about them beyond "UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARES" or that they're in Yurop. Hell, they wouldn't accept most parts of the NHS.

For starters, they don't realize how many of these are paid and provided for, like in Canada, by smaller levels of government primarily with only a national set of guidelines and minimal federal funding. Or how many accept lower levels of private coverage than many U.S. states. Or what the before usage tax costs are to middle class and lower.

That's why we have to keep these dangerous Bernie nutjobs away from the polls in 2018 as much as possible.

[benjipwns]

And for people who currently hate everyone in charge of every branch of the federal government they sure are excited about creating a corporate monopsony, that will have massive global ramifications on health care supply and demand, run by the Russian government and Gamergate.

Couple things.
1. Bernie or busters gave trump the presidency.
2. We need to make voting easier to do, I had to skip work to vote and I myself am a millennial.
3. We have a major problem in this country that's unspoken and it's our defeatism. Many people didn't vote because they can't a difference. The nothing will come of it responses I always see kinda speak for what the American outlook has been. We don't fight the same way we used to and we need a spark.
4. Voting shouldn't be a right, it should be mandatory but Republicans will make sure that never happens.
5. Bernie or busters gave trump the presidency.

 

[benjipwns]

I see the usual suspects are still going on about Bernie or Busters instead of blaming themselves for running an incompetent corrupt establishment apparatchik. Did you guys check under your beds for Berniebros tonight? Maybe you'll find Clinton's emails there too.

In another time and place these YAAAAS QUEEN HillGAF zealots would not be out of place in say the Khmer Rouge going by their behavior here doing the primaries and leading up to the election.

Anyone that did not accept their dogma and fall in on the DNC party line was forced to engage in Maoist self-confession for the crime of supporting a people's candidate over a Wall Street hack and then would exit the thread to be metaphorically executed (banned) for what they confessed as in the film The Killing Fields.

Is it any wonder that millenials don't want anything to do with the morally and intellectually bankrupt Democratic Party and would rather just stay home?

[benjipwns]

Kinda hard to get people to vote for someone, that you previously called corrupt, elitist, war monger who was rigging the primaries and was was going to sell the county to evil wall street for 10 straight months.

The Damage Bernie Sanders did did to Hillary's campaign and continued to do long after he lost can be stated enough.

Republicans win because they are willing to lie and cheat. And they have a brainwashed base that will reliably show up for them.

Democrats try to be honest and fair.

Picture it from my generations perspective, even before Trump the world looks like it's poised to turn into a fucking hellscape with automation looming, global warming probably making it so having kids is unethical, the housing market being so fucked that most people will never own one and people living paycheck to paycheck to maintain bare subsistence

And then trump happens, of course you're going to be depressed as shit and not want to vote

as good as all these 2018 slogans are, they won't fit on a bumper sticker like the party wants

The future is fucked unless attitudes change soon. We need to be on this all the time, not just big election years.

[benjipwns]

You could actually have volunteered for Hillary so thanks for not trying hard enough and contributing to Trump's win

[benjipwns]

I resent the idea that I don't care about the people who would get fucked over by the GOP. I want a future for those people and for all American citizens where they won't go into massive amounts of debt EVEN WITH INSURANCE when they get sick or injured. The neoliberal shitheel YAAAS QUEEEN that I voted for wouldn't have fought for that future. Sure she campaigned on making the for profit Healthcare Industry more affordable, but they're still for profit. If you want to say that the blood is on the hands of everyone who demands something better then go ahead. I disagree with you though.

You ever remember reading some of these bullshit facts how the average recruiter spend like 10 (some claim even 5-6) second to skim a resume?
Well if you assume the recruiter spend only 2 hour of their workday skimming resumes that would be:
(1*6) * 120 = 720 resumes skimmed per day
If the recruiter work 200 days a year that would be:
720 * 200 = 144,000 resumes skimmed per year.

Read past the foreword, the main thrust of the article (and my point) isn't white-washing.

tl;dr: The default assumption for cartoons from Japan is that the characters are Japanese, UNLESS they are denoted as foreign, either by added stereotypical signifiers, or through exposition. Your 2nd example, Mika's hair colour, isn't enough. There's nothing else to suggest that she's not Japanese.

Depends on how you built the case, on what you factor in (especially for someone done on public property) and on the terrain. None of which can't be assumed by anyone in that thread (or myself). I am not so much defending the original quote they had than scoffing at the "well those 3 guys they sent could have built stairs as fast as they took down the makeshift one, problem solved. Also those two guys by the lorry are doing nothing, I can tell by the photo still.". It's hard for me to believe any job like that would cost below a few thousands at minimum if done via a contractor with at least a couple of workers on site (plus recce and all the paper trail necessary). Possibly rental if any machinery is involved, etc...

[agrajag]

Well, yeah, obviously a solid structure that meets all the zoning/building regulations would cost way more than a 73 year old guy with no carpentry background and a homeless man could bang out out of some plywood. And GAF is reactionary and over the top, as always.

Many of those "meddlings" in that list happened during the Cold War and well, if the Soviets start with sending weapons and personnel to faction A, then I would argue that supporting faction B is not necessarily the wrong choice.

The left really needs to recognize the ever present problem of path dependency with healthcare. And quit making the perfect the enemy of the good. Switzerland would not be the worst landing spot to end up in with healthcare reform. Which is the framework the ACA was built on.

It's very Trumpian  the language many Gaffer's have fallen into by framing everything in this hyper confrontational zero-sum language.

Idk about you, but aside from a few authors, the characters of manga are essentially non-asian. Hair color, eye color, skull shape, everything. Authors where you can believe they're mostly japanese? Well, Takehiko Inoue.

And by this I mean that if the features are similar to a certain aesthetic, finding an actor that displays that look is simply good casting.
