@the_randomizer No, Obamacare was designed to get more people on health insurance by making health insurance mandatory and subsidizing costs for lower-income Americans. The US is still a long way from having the political willpower to accept universal healthcare.
Let me drop an interesting op-ed I read in the New York Times yesterday. Captures the dysfunction of the US healthcare system thanks to Big Pharma well:

That... does sound an awful lot like growing up. People change, often suddenly, and the people in your life grow farther and farther apart. They find new places to settle, new people to greet, and you do too. Time moves on, and the longer the time, the greater the distance. The only way to fight...
@chrisrlink Switch "devs" have nothing to do with DMCAs. That's up to corporate and the company's legal teams. Developers just want to make good games for people. I get the anger about DMCAs, but at the very least don't blame developers.
@VinsCool Was it suspicious because you couldn't believe the President of the US could be that dumb? Well, that tweet is totally tame by his standards lol and sadly not at all suspicious. His tweets get much wilder on a daily basis.
Ahhh, man, your description of Portland makes me miss home so much. No place like the Pacific Northwest! Although, I think because of some weird city rivalry, we Seattlites aren't supposed to like Portland haha. *shrug* The leaves and mountains are just as beautiful down there.
I know you've...
Enjoy your time there, it doesn't last long. At the end of those four years, everyone you know will be scattered to the winds, so enjoy the time you have with them now. I can't stress this enough. I graduated from high school this year and am starting my first year of college, and my biggest...
I had a friend read that thing and go there... And nearly ram his car into a crowd of our classmates crossing the road, on impulse, until the better part of his mind stopped himself. Don't go there. It's a dark, dark place that tempts you with supposed answers to self-worth problems we all face...
I've legit never had a single storage media fail on me. I've bought countless hard drives, SD/microSDs, and flash drives and every single one is still fully operational. As long as they're given moderate care, if there's no manufacturing defect, they can last a very very long time.
Nonetheless...
I don't give out money to people on the streets. I might donate to a food bank or charity, or help in a soup kitchen or something, but I never give out actual money directly to people. I'd like to know that what I'm giving is actually helping someone fulfill some basic needs, and won't be blown...
It's good to be with people sometimes and it's good to be alone sometimes. It's nice that you can be at ease being alone. Everyone needs some alone time.
So, I'm gonna be off to college in less than 4 months. Gonna be moving somewhere far, far away from where I am now. It's like the gravity of this change hasn't quite set in yet, but I feel it coming. I'm going to a great school to learn something I am genuinely passionate about, and I have every...
I've pulled many all-nighters, all for various reasons. I pull "all-nighters" when I travel overseas to combat jetlag. Typically on my bi-annual trips to India, I'll stay up for a full 24 hours to jolt myself 12 hours ahead body clock-wise. Sometimes I just have a lot of work and stay up all...
I've been playing fallout4 all day, I went into a elevator and it kept going, never stopped, waited 5 minutes, must of been a bug. How bout you, whatcha do today?
