I prefer the negative harmony version.

Dwarf fortress ?

Numéro 1 en “valeur absolu”, mais selon l’article lui meme: pas en tête quand on rapporte au nombre d’habitants. Je ne suis pas là pour dire que la violence policière n’est pas un problème en france, elle l’est. Mais le titre est trompeur et donne une image plus négative que ce que la situation est réellement.

Pour rappel, le Groenland est le pays avec le plus grand nombre de prix nobel par habitant: ils en ont eu 1. Il faut se méfier des statistique, on peut leur faire dire beaucoup de chose.

C’est cool, tant mieux, mais c’est pas pour les bonnes raisons…

Le problème principal que pose ces bassines c’est le dérèglement du cycle de l’eau. L’assèchement des cours d’eau et l’appropriation d’une ressource naturelle par des entreprises privées. La justice ici ne les considère illégale que pour protéger une espèce d’oiseaux en voie de disparition, et je ne critique pas ça, c’est aussi très important de préserver la biodiversité, mais ça ne constitue pas la victoire idéologique dont on aurait besoin.

Ha non, ça par contre ça n’arrivera jamais.

You meant “chocolate cigarette” for your analogy, I remember they used to exists when I was a kid, don’t know if they still do.

But poker is only a gambling game because when you play it you “give up” something of value in the hope of winning more through playing and randomness. What makes it gambling is not the cards or the chips it’s the gambling aspect. Balatro uses card and poker hands, and so does “yatzhee”, but it does not use any gambling mechanic. Lootboxes on the other hand use gambling mechanic.

Yes of course, it was just a recent example to show that other countries aren’t perfect. I agree with the general message of the post, the us have a very fucked up system that is way worse than in Europe.

You can look at my other comment for more detail about why I felt the need to react.

Yes of course,

I replied to this post because it is one of many making bold claims about healthcare in other countries than the US, most of the times claims about European countries healthcare made by US users are false and/or misleading.

Sure the US has a very bad system, I see it and recognize how bad it is, but it’s a tad annoying to see stuff like that, that falsely say we have “0” bankruptcy or that “everything” is covered by public healthcare, that our life expectancy is that much higher, etc… Most claims are unsourced and blatantly false or largely inflated for shock value.

In France for example we have many issues with our public healthcare, not everything is covered (dental isn’t for example), we aren’t covered for the full amount unless we pay for private coverage on top (called “mutuelle”) which often are linked to your employer, we have to pay up front and then get reimbursed later, geographically there are areas with very few hospitals, the poorer often can’t afford to be sick because we aren’t always automatically paid for sick days at work, there’s a shortage of medical fields’ workers, and our current political leaders have been making it worse for decades…

All that to say that from the perspective of a “European” citizen, these posts about the US system compared with ours feels like propaganda that “we should be happy with what we have” even though we really shouldn’t, using false information.

She was too far gone to be able to go to the nearest public one.

It’s actually a huge scandal in France, we have laws preventing this, and the hospital is pretending that it was a mistake from an individual employee to refuse her.

Is this true ? It doesn’t feel true with my current knowledge.

I don’t know about the other countries, but In France there definitely still are problems, check this recent story https://www.lanouvellerepublique.fr/a-la-une/on-lui-refuse-l-acces-aux-urgences-elle-accouche-sur-le-parking-de-l-hopital

A pregnant women was refused entrance to a private hospital she was forced to give birth on the parking lot in front of the entrance.

Sure the USA have an awful system but it doesn’t mean it’s perfect everywhere else. There are people that are bankrupt because of medical treatment here too. And we also have corrupt CEOs making it worse

Every country needs a Luigi.

I think it might be important. To send a message to the gamedevs that anti-cheat will never be fullproof, therefore maybe they should stop with this nonsense.

Why is it millennials that “ruined” it in your opinion ? I assumed it disappeared because everybody has mobile phone with a clock on it.

Maybe everyone around him/her died from coverage refusal, nobody can identify that person cause they are dead. Which would explain why they decided to kill the leech-ionnaire

You already can, the shape of the Lego brick fell into public domain, you can find legal knock off of their design (on AliExpress for example). The problem is that plastic and electricity cost so much you don’t save a lot compared to an industrialised environment.

I slept there once. Very windy, but very beautiful in the morning when the sun rises. The big rock is not the most interesting thing in Skye though

That’s because you only hear about the fake altruist the one doing it for benefits, real altruists do stuff without telling anyone, only to satisfy their own moral compass.

Like the loch Ness monster, no one knows if they exist.

I wouldn’t call it a model, more like a “design pattern”

Why ? (I didn’t understand the joke)
