When I lived in the States back in '04, I took a 0.25 mile ambulance ride with no medical services provided. They didn't even take my blood pressure. I was charged almost $7500 and paid nearly $700 after insurance. That's about... $1400 in 2026 USD!

and the more stuff it does the more socialister it is

It evolves into communism after it becomes so social it's socialest, but you have to use a water stone.

but I don’t see why I wouldnt see a kid

That's part of the issue with these big, slab fronted trucks and SUVs. They're so blunt and tall that they obscure anyone shorter than the vehicle, like a child, if they're too close.

These cameras are all on while you're driving? So you could see a child if they were close to the front of your truck?

That sure seems like another off the top emotional response. It feels like someone here might have a double standard.

JFC. The irony of this entire comment, but the best is...

This is why I hate Lemmy sometimes. People don't fucking read and just go off the very tops of emotional response.... *Proceeds into emotional rant about stupid users*

The lack of self-awareness here is nearly palpable.

Thank you. I forgot the most important part: blackletter refers to a family of Gothic fonts. Fraktur, the font shown in the photo, is one variant.

Not to mention Trump has lost support from about a quarter of his original supporters.

It's MSM so take it with a grain of sand, but here's an article about a fairly recent poll:

I believe it's Blackletter - edit: which is a family of Gothic fonts. The variant shown is Fraktur.

What's interesting is the Nazi regime first heavily used Gothic scripts, particularly Fraktur, claiming these scripts were an element of Aryan heritage, but later banned Fraktur in 1941, claiming it was 'Judenlettern' (Jew letters). This was of course utter shite and is now understood to primarily be a pretense to switch to more easily read, modern fonts.

I hate it because I think Gothic scripts look neat, but they're still heavily associated with the Nazis.

Have any suggestions for newbs like myself? I have an Android phone so I was checking out Shelter and Island but any advice would be gratefully accepted.

Today in explaining to Americans how their own government works...

They're not peers - it's a group of volunteers that supports the Democratic Party. If I lived in the US, I could join today and attend as a committee member. They hold no office or position and have no authority.

If you can meet the word count using views you oppose, you can also meet the word count arguing against those views.

This is the second time this has happened. I delete all my old posts and comments using PowerDeleteSuite. I view my profile - everything selected is gone. A few months later, it's all back. I repeat the process, verifying it's all gone. I log in today, months later, and it's back. Simply maddening.

Is there anything I can do to make it stick?
