Wait people affiliated with Indivisible and DSA showed up to a Sanders Rally!!?? That's absolutely SHOCKING . and ActBlue is funding them?? But then... Where.. who's funding ActBlue? It might be the same DSA/Indivisible people!

Full circle folks, full circle.

/s for the dense. Its totally normal to join activist movements, donate to the cause, and show up to rallys with the other activists in said movement. I have no idea what this twat is on about.

I'll stress that's just to get in the door. Usually if you're going to the doctor they'll want to run xrays, CT scans, MRIs, blood tests, whatever diagnostics and it starts escalating fast.

But this is stuff people can plan for. Emergency visits are much worse in my experience, suffering from appendicitis would have put us $40k in the hole overnight without insurance.

A bad cold or flu you probably wouldn't go to a doctor, just an urgent care clinic for some antibiotics or whatever. Probably run $100-$150 + cost of meds (hopefully generic).

If urgent care can't help, an out of pocket visit to primary care provider will be closer to $300 just to step in the door. Hospitals will put you on a payment plan if you can't front it.

β€œAnd with all the money they’re saving from the fraud, they could afford to give their senior citizens an increase,” said Lester, who is retired from construction work.

Wow, they really think Trump is compiling some kind of jackpot that'll pay out big to the people. Looking more and more like US really are a nation of suckers.

Monsanto gets so much worse than polluting. They tried (succeeded? Not sure) in hooking farmers to only buying their seeds through genetic modification to grow anything. I remember huge protests, then we all sort of moved on.

Sinclair group in the US, bought up basically every local news station and began inserting propaganda into scripts as stories. Highly insidious because the older population generally trusted their local news anchors more than the national outlets.

GEO group, one of the largest private prison corporations that also manages ice detention facilities and many mental institutions, not sure I need to say much more.

Woah, a CD tray you're right! I was imagining it slot loaded like a Wii, but I reckon that wasn't around or too expensive hah. Shame about the missing bits

I suppose it depends what I sent them to prompt the reply? "Dinner at 6?" followed by πŸ‘ is fine. "My grandpop is dying, he may not make it through the week" -> πŸ‘ would send me right off.

 

Project: https://github.com/asimons04/tesseract

Demo: https://tesseract.dubvee.org

What it is:

Tesseract is a Sublinks/Lemmy client designed for media-rich feeds and content. It's an alternative front-end that can be hosted on the sh.itjust.works servers side-by-side with the current interface, similar to how oldsh.itjust.works operates.

In addition to the overall improved user experience, it also has enhancements for moderators and instance admins. These are worth checking out, I quite like the modlog.

What I like about it:

  • Improved Media Support in Feed and Posts
  • Community Browser / Enhanced Discovery
  • Better Moderation Tools than Lemmy-UI
  • Alternate Sources Menu (All link posts have a dropdown menu next to the link which contains alternate links to the post URL from Ghost Archive, 12ft, and Archive Today.)

Try it:

An open, public demo instance is available at tesseract.dubvee.org. Try it with your favorite Lemmy instance by changing settings in the Demo Account Page.

Proposal:

I believe this front-end should be included and hosted by SJW as an option, under a unique subdomain.

After nearly 2 decades of Sherrod Brown representing Ohio in the Senate, Republicans have successfully bucked him from the seat.

Wow what a win! What do you hope he accomplishes in the first 90 days? What are you most excited for?

Edit- please don't downvote if you don't like him just move on. This is the state's reality, he's going to be writing and signing policies on our behalf.

 

Chat, is saying "stop sucking putin's dick" homophobic?

Hi, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but when I try to crosspost from communities on other instances (ie. Lemmy.ml/c/linux) to communities on my instance (sh.itjust.works/c/linux), the local community does not appear as an option. Even when I try to type in the fully qualified community name it will not show up.

This does not seem to happen with every community, and I think maybe it has something to do with a large number of results truncating smaller communities from the list?

If anyone has a workaround or can help me understand how to crosspost better, I'd much appreciate it.
