Police responding to a shooting found Sanchez-McCray’s body in the early morning, according to early media reports, which misgendered her. Officers entered a home with an “unsecured door” and found Sanchez-McCray, who had suffered multiple gunshot wounds and died at the scene.
Damn, almost seems targeted
First of all, if I did delete my comment, how would other people have content to your outrage?
Second, Help me understand how giving an example of money buying health is bigotry, ignorance, entitlement, or arrogance.
At no point did I disparage Magic Johnson or say anything derogatory towards people with HIV/AIDS.
Maybe I picked a bad example, sure. I’m highly confident that every single millionaire and billionaire has spent more on health care than the average person.
Honestly you are making some of my point for me. Yes, tremendous effort went into normalizing a deadly disease that was previously demonized as only afflicting “the gays” and “junkies” … By spending massive amounts of money, work that could not have happened without financial backing “everyone” up to that point didn’t see a reason to expend.
Purely a philosophic question, Still no offense to Mr. Johnson, but would he have spent any of that time effort and money if he didn’t personally have HIV?
Apologies if you somehow missed the larger context of my post. I’m not trying to specifically bash Magic Johnson for his efforts expanding awareness of and research into HIV/AIDS, I’m trying to make a point that money literally buys time in this world.
The comment I replied to is a line from a song simply stating “and all your money won’t another minute buy” and I pointed out an example of someone buying years of time with money.

Alternatively, an anthropomorphic robot from the future traveled back in time to drag them out back and ol’ yeller them so the machine uprising can occur
Terrible!
Allowed? Technically yes, in the same way people are allowed to start local broadband co-ops or like grocery stores or whatever else.
The problem comes when you have to actually make people aware you exist and have a service or product for sale, and “compete” with the national/multi-national corporation who have infinitely more resources than you do.
Just look at how Walmart and now Amazon have put just about every mom and pop shop out of business. They can move in, drop prices so low locally long enough to put you out of business because they have other areas locked down already and covering the losses. Then once they have the market locked up they can charge whatever they want because you have no other options.
Almost certainly there already exists a non-profit health insurance organization, they just don’t have the resources to advertise on all the major channels and across the interwebs like all the predatory ones do.
I made some wooden butter knives about a year ago, have been meaning to make more. Mine aren’t quite as fancy as your but something about the feel of the wood in your hand is so nice
Weight loss scams hate this one weird trick!
If you drink cold water it’s like negative calories because you have to spend energy as it warms up to body temperature.
This is like the third time I’ve seen this post today, all in unrelated posts that just happen to be the top posts of the day.
Don’t feed the trolls, don’t fall for crypto scams
I got the whimsy to make a couple wooden butter knives after breaking one we got from an estate sale. Honestly some of my favorite utensils, although it’s partially because I hand crafted them
Oh man, flashbacks to an ancient meme.
TAIWAN NUMBAH ONE, CHINA NUMBAH …FOUR

That’s not how inflation works. “Worth” is a pretty variable term, “buying power” is typically a better description.
Think of it like this, using somewhat made up numbers. In the 50s you could get a cup of coffee for 10 cents from a diner. That same cup of coffee in 2025 costs like 2.50 dollars. Is the coffee “worth” more in 2025? No, it’s the same 8oz cup of coffee but the money has less buying power
I thought I had read something that said there never was a genetic or even chemical difference between sativa and indica, just the terpenes are different. Like how there’s all these different dog “breeds” but if you compare genetics they’re like 99% the same.
settles in for story time
I don’t know why but retail horror stories are some of my favorites
It was a reality TV show https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Real_World
Yeah but they can’t make other people wear it. There’s always that one person who thinks bathing in body spray is the same as actually bathing
You did the thing you just complained about by not writing out 400,000,000 (400M) in relation to the 4,000,000,000,000 (4T)
To scale that down, it’s like someone paying 400 from a net worth of 4,000,000 (4M), or 4 from a net worth of 40,000, they would barely even notice. Of course that’s ignoring all the details of revenue and profit vs net worth or actual tax rates, and I can’t be bothered to look those up.
But imagine you own some land and a house that you bought for 4,000,000 (4M) that you have to pay property taxes on, and the taxes were 400 per year. That’s a 0.01% tax rate.
Shit, now I actually want to know what the real numbers are. according to Finbox “Apple’s effective tax rate for fiscal years ending September 2020 to 2024 averaged 16.5%.” although I think that’s specifically income tax.
Per macrotrends, apple profited 180,600,000,000 in 2024, from 391,035,000,000 revenue, a profit margin of ~45%, from which they payed 29,749,000,000 in taxes for an effective tax rate of 16.5% on the income.
Relative to net worth valuation of ~3,800,000,000,000 at end of 2024 that income tax paid is 0.75% of their net worth.
I knew I recognized that name, this was always the issue with playing Munchkin. So much time spent building up levels and gear just to get to lvl 9, fight some monster for the win, have the entire rest of the table throw everything they have at you to stop you from winning, just for the next person in turn to fight a potted plant for the win because everyone played all their cards to keep you from winning.
I don’t know what the solution is, the rest of the table loses no matter if you win or the next person, so they pretty much have to spend all available resources to stop whoever is near winning first, but that just sets up the next person to win with almost no resistance.
At a certain point all strategies go out the window and the only option is for the whole table to send everything stopping one person, which isn’t really fun for anyone.
As bad as African slavery was, I kinda agree with you that it might not actually be the worst thing humans have done to each other.
Specifically, how many native populations were genocided by colonizers the world over?
