Live Like

Even though many US idiots will says it’s “impossible,” we could have good universal health coverage like other developed countries.

When I told a UK friend of mine how health insurance works in the US and how bad it is, she thought I was pulling her leg. She truly believed I was lying and trying to make her laugh or playing a prank (she was not at all familiar with US politics). Then she looked it up and said something like, “People actually live like this?”

And that is the reaction of people from sane countries when told how the US handles health care. People cannot believe it. Because no other developed country does it as crappily as we do.

I am using Windows 11 on my work laptop now as I need to experience what my users experience.

And it is. Fucking. Slow. OMG SO SLOW. Who wrote this, a snail? It’s amazing how absolutely abysmal the experience of using modern software has become.

Prudence

One of the things I like about Aella is that she is the least prudish public person I know. Even though I disagree with her on quite a few things, that’s a pretty great way to be.

Even many of the people who claim they are not prudish are really huge prudes. And that seems to be getting worse.
