Oh right.

Right in the center is a long, grey/tan aircraft carrier-shaped ship.

Like a self-inflicted extinction event for the ingroup. A study in selective evolution.

Yep, and @nieminen@lemmy.world if they're hollow, they're living out their adult lives elsewhere (likely in the building). These are just signs that they used it as a pupation site.

You're a saint!

For any Americans capable of voting who aren't planning on voting, fuck you. Exercise your rights. In fact, exercise in general; a good benchmark to aim for is the ability to outrun cops. The future of monocultured, homogenous, morbidly obese, microplastic and PFAS leachate-laden Judases who filed in to toe the line for the ruling class and shun their brethren will be all that's left on earth after the richest cretins rape the planet for its last naturally occurring resources and pile into the most market-tested, fool-proof space vehicles manufactured by literally the singular winner of capitalism. Capitalism, the golden child of pyramid schemes. Those bovine-shaped humans left on earth crawling on all fours ruminating highly processed refuse will still be muttering out loud to themselves how it was all worth it. "At least I won't accidentally befriend a trans person" because it will have been years ago that they were banned and disappeared magically. Heart disease continues to run rampant on this future Earth, however. And there's of course the carbon dioxide problem. Somewhat bittersweetly for the Bovine sapiens species, the last remaining vestiges of oxygen-starved brain activity need only worry about one thing: sniffing for morsels through heaps of plastic waste.

Bernie continues to espouse truth.

Or the crime

Speaking for myself, my eyebrows are not raised. I remember reading that day that it was a shattered teleprompter or other shrapnel that nicked or sliced his ear, not that a bullet had passed through it. In any case, I personally don't quite understand the importance of the distinction. He was shot at either way, no? If it were a nick by glass I imagine it would've healed by now.

Edit: I forgot to mention... Fuck Trump and his ilk, they deserve being two-time losers come November.

Fuck this stupid world we've built.

[...] carrying out what is likely the highest number of protest-related arrests there since the Vietnam War.

That's pretty telling of the state of things.

How timely! American here who just received a bill for scoping my sinuses by an ENT specialist: insurance covered $28 out of the $415 procedure. This is on top of the $70 copay I owe for the $195 office visit. So all accounting factored in, I owe $450 for what I thought was going to be $70.

Because it was billed through insurance, the provider's hands are tied in terms of further negotiation. I would bet if I had gone in as a cash patient, I'd be much better off.

The icing on the cake is that the scoping procedure was non-conclusive.

The US healthcare insurance system is the ultimate way to make money fast, for little effort. As long as you're on the right side of it, that is.
