Yeah. He's kind of a bell end. I'm not sure if the world has noticed yet. Perhaps he should give another rousing speech at the world economic forum, I was so inspired by the 30 sending long pauses.

It's the same in the UK. There is national healthcare which is what most people go with because it's free (and most people underestimate how infuriating it is sitting in a waiting room for 6 hours) and then there's private healthcare which is what you go with if you want expediency.

A lot of the time if you go with private you end up being tended to by the same medical staff anyway, you're basically just paying to skip the queue.

The reason his healthcare plan is ridiculous is because he hasn't put any effort into it. Which for Trump is saying something.

Frankly I hate him more than the censoring.

I don't even know who the centering is even for, since we all know what it says.

I've said this before but if Apple really cared about their users then the iPad Pro would essentially just be a touchscreen laptop. It has the hardware to run a full-on operating system, but they keep it locked to iOS so they can sell you apps via the lockdown ecosystem.

It's been a while since I used Mac OS but I remember it was quite janky even around 2020.

And of course the whole liquid glass thing is just bonkersly stupid. Vista did it years ago and it was terrible back then because it just made the UI hard to see. I'm not interested in how clever it is.

With how Microsoft are handling updates lately, no longer getting them might actually be a selling point

Yes the same with sport. There's too many damn sports there should only be one sport at a time.

All sports players should be required to play in all sports. I want to see baseball players doing ice hockey, but that would probably lead to a blood bath. So we'll do that one at the end.

I say we should make the new world default currency the Danish Krone, lets really stick the knife in

See we keep getting told that AI is a great success and also a threat to humanity and that it's going to take over the world in 5 minutes if we're not careful. It has been literally years now and nothing has happened.

If that isn't evidence of a bubble I don't know what is. But somehow the complete lack of any meaningful progress seems to convince people even more

 

When you reveal a spoiler the black rectangles go away and it then renders the text in white, but on a white background (light coloured theme) The text renders is exactly the same colour as the background and so you can not see it unless you highlight the post, this renders the background of the post as light grey and there is just about enough contrast difference to now read the text.

When spoiler text is revealed it should render in the same colour as normal text. I'm not sure why it's white.

See images below for demonstration.

spoiler text is hidden

spoiler text has been revealed but is invisible

text post is highlighted and now you can see the spoiler text rendered in white
