@mark_slapinski canadian healthcare is “free” because anyone who actually needs to use it is declined treatments and instead encouraged to kill themselves you are a demon.

People say Canadian healthcare is not free, because we pay taxes for it. But in America, people pay taxes and still have to pay for healthcare out of their pockets. And if they are broke, the hospital tells them to go die.

Allow me to rock your world. America has about 6000 hospitals. 5121 of those are publicly accessible and 1224 are completely free. That's twice as many charity hospitals as Canada has Tim Horton's. Literally. Then, when you see a doctor, the doctor speaks English and went to school somewhere you've heard of. Harvard is not the only way to get educated, but it is nice in the fall. We don't push people into medically assisted suicide for cost reasons. We don't ask people with emergency conditions to sit in the ER for 10 hours before they see a doctor. So yes, if you have a cutting-edge disease and you go to a private hospital and get the best care in the world, you're on the hook for it. But note that you are also ALIVE.

Stoicism values humility, emotional control, and loyalty to family. And yet America's leading popularizer of it, @RyanHoliday, displays none of those qualities in his angry, TDS-fueled condemnation of @IvankaTrump. He displays an arrogance every wisdom tradition warns against.

@RyanHoliday the most corrupt family in history is a death match between the clinton’s and bidens, so your very first sentence is a non sequitur, the rest is an imagined reality playing inside your head which you imbue upon the world you need psychological help.

Lol. Rolling your eyes at the performative philosophy of a member of the most corrupt family in American history is apparently 'fuming'? Although if there was anything to be mad about these days, I think objecting to people lighting the world on fire so they can make a killing in prediction markets and kickbacks is probably it. yahoo.com/entertainment/…

Antonio García Martínez (agm.eth)
Stoicism is the philosophy of slaves (Epictetus), unjustly condemned men awaiting death (Seneca), and emperors of a dying empire (Marcus Aurelius). It became the philosophy of people who couldn’t control events, but still needed to feel sovereign over a dwindling sphere.
Roman Helmet Guy@romanhelmetguy

Stoicism is popular because apathy is the sickness of our age and stoicism glorifies it. Stoicism is cope for living in a dying society. Stoicism is managed decline. You need to become anti-stoic. You need to become so passionate it’s self-destructive.

the only westerners who hate japan are the filthy communists who destroyed our nations in the first place, so pay no attention to the mouthbreathers their opinions are worth less than the shit i just took

🇯🇵 Something I'm noticing more and more on X. When we were young, we were told that the Western world looked down on us. But almost all of the anti-Japanese posts come here from developing countries. I have to say that being on X has made me much more pro-Western.

In response to my previous thread asking about the feasibility of switching to Arch, several people recommended NixOS instead. That's not going to happen, and I'm sad about it. Because technically I'm extremely attracted to the Nix model. How could I not like declarative system specification with guaranteed safe rollback? That would be ideal. As an old Lisp-head, I probably would have opted for the Guix variant that uses Guile/Scheme as an extension language. Unfortunately, I have a friend who was a long time NixOS user who bailed out last year. He's given me a detailed and hair-raising report on why. I'll get back to that. He says the design of NixOS is very Eric-shaped. He knows how much I like substituting declarative specifications driving simple engines for ad-hoc procedural logic (see for example loccount), and NixOS do be like that. Unfortunately, he also says the NixOS developer community has become dysfunctional and insane. By his account, the woke mind virus took hold, drove away a lot of capable people, and addled the brains of most of those who remained. That's why he bailed out. I have no reason to disbelieve him about this. It's a movie I've seen before. He has a secondary technical criticism that Nix has a bad case of not invented here and builds a lot of bespoke machinery that would be unnecessary if it were willing to take full use of Linux's native namespace and containerization hooks. But they want to be fully portable to things like *BSD, so that hasn't happened. The technical choice is defensible, and could be fixed. The mind-rot in the developer community probably isn't fixable. All you can usually do in cases like that is ignore the project and let it die. So, no NixOS for me. Dammit. Communists ruin everything they touch.

They’re suffering Great Depression level unemployment figures, those who do have a job are used as a tax farm by Boomers who own multi-million dollar houses they’ll never afford, and they’re being actively replaced in their own country. What did you think would happen? “Radicalization” should be expected when you declare total political war on an entire generation. It’s actually a testament to the extreme reasonableness and agreeableness of the Canadian people that they haven’t yet launched an armed revolution against the state.
