It would help the scam if you didn’t"t try to pose as a Mastodon bot to a Lemmy user.

I’ve never knowingly engaged with a proper chat bot beyond the ‘virtual help desk’ things some sites use. By proper I mean some sizable system beyond what can be typically run at home.

Home ran ones are bizarre though, so far whatever I try they get stuck on go-to phrases and tend to return to specific formats of response over and over. Very much not passing the turing test.

Indeed, politicians do love to claim power and control wherever they can and kids are a handy excuse often enough.

As to the parents, at least in the USA my take is that so many are overwhelmed with how to handle it that if you get someone in power saying “we will make the internet safe for you, no effort needed” they jump all over it.

I’m in my 40’s and none of the things out there on the web that kids are doing even existed when I was their age, so there are plenty of people who are really the first generation to be sorting out how to deal with this stuff for our kids. Given my work I’m better equiped than most, but it’s still possible to get caught off guard

We have proxies, we have DNS filters, we have pre configured software packages you can install with a few clicks. Net filtering is not all that difficult.

We also have a planet full of people throwing up their hands and passing off responsibility for guiding and watching their kids to ‘someone else’.

It takes effort people, and discussions that can be difficult, and you might need to learn a tech trick or two, but it’s not impossible. Stop screwing everyone over because you want big brother to take care of the hard work for you.

Auto correct replaces A with I now?

Show em how it’s done there Donnie, post up some scores, and I mean the real ones not the ‘healthiest president ever’ ones.

Imbalance would be a better phrasing, yeah. More meant people scarf down an awful lot of sugars and fats compared to lean meats or dairy.

I’ve commonly heard around 1 gram / kg, which can still be a trick for someone who’s on the larger side. I would be a bit over 100 kg so with most of those bars or shakes being around 20g that adds up to a good half dozen or the real food equivalent.

It’s probably the most lacking of the 3 majors though, between fast food and processed pre-pack stuff.

Still, it seems to have held on a lot longer than the period where everything needed to announce itself as gluten free.

The planet can, maybe the next species of critters to pick up a pointy stick can make use of it after it resets itself.

Meanwhile I got an email from GOG having a sale on the same today…

Actually yours has a whole society to uproot and coerce the labor of in order to have your free care.

But sure, calling unhealthy people making bad choices a bad thing is bigotry. Notably America has quite the reputation for being fat, we must all be cursed with some poor genetics or medical conditions that the rest of the world don’t have.

You called the concept of them and similar others costing the rest of society money due to increased insurance and healthcare costs moronic. I provided how they do so, you haven’t addressed that at all other than to propose that doctors and medical suppliers should work for free.

I didn’t blame an individual, I blame whole classes of individuals who are waddling around scarfing down soda and McD’s but blaming their genetics. Or smokers, or any other class of people made unwell by their own choices that you mean to subsidize the care of in this post-monetary hippy commune model of medicine proposed.

And I’m speaking of math that’s not going to change because of your being upset about it.

You’ve been all over the post making absurd statements of them being CEOs, writing someones’s policy, or that these two specifically where blamed for the US healthcare.

If you have a larger proportion of unhealthy people in a population, particularly with preventable conditions simply by making better choices to live healthier lives, then you inevitably will have more costs to bear as a society, weather that’s in the current fractured insurance world or a single payer system which amounts to one universal insurance pool paid by the public taxes.

To claim otherwise is just as impossible as to say we should make no efforts at preventing and discouraging smoking. Cancer costs money and if someone costs the entity footing the bill $$$ it’s going to come from somewhere.

So that’s either all of us and we all pay for the other’s bad choices, or we collectively look to minimize the pursuit of bad choices, or when selectively burden those making bad choices with the bill for them.

Bad troll, be less obvious

Start practicing your line, it’s gonna be a bumpy road…

“Welcome to Costco, I love you …”

Insurance works as a risk pool. If you have an increased number of high cost members in the pool, such as those prone to all the conditions long known to be associated with morbid obesity, it raises the cost outlays for the pool, and thus by association the premiums demanded to cover said costs.

Money in must equal money out plus administrative costs, spend more out, need more in, from everyone, or should we selectively charge the hight cost members more?

Like that it is largely offline other than to search the food DB sources, no account to have to sign into and feed your data to someone.

Dislikes, some graphical glitches on my phone like buttons going off the edge and unable to scroll down. Also, no murica measurements for those of us accustomed to measuring against arbitrary, non-scientific standards.

How is it that we have a president who’s administration manages to create so many major controversies that a 24/7 news cycle can’t manage to keep more than one in front of people?

I thought we where still on alligator auschwitz a few days ago, with Iran not quite forgotten before that, and his mega money grab bill was in there for a minute too…

Standard IANAL but…

Rights not given to the federal government are reserved to the states.

There is no federal abortion regulation at this time.

If laws conflict then there would typically be a ruling based on supremacy IE: Federal > State > County(?) > City

State vs state, each upholds their own.

Fuck off TX
