Well if we could get 44 million of these going 24/7 we could counteract the ice caps in Greenland melting.

Not a bad idea, the red hats wouldn't be able to tell. It'd be an inside secret.

Mine is not based on my history as I run eOS and don't allow any form of tracking, including through the three different keyboards I run, none of which are any good.

Someday I'll find the one, but until then I'll either mistype, get bad autocorrects, or have to hunt for what I thought were basic symbols.

I just want whatever my old moto had damnit

My keyboard autocorrected it twice, so I gave up and let it spell it wrong, assuming my point would stand either way, since it holds no bearing on the rest of the comment.

I run three offices, and I can tell you we don't get any of that money. In fact we pay out the ass for whatever bullshit tech company was forced on us by insurance lobbyists to make you see those ads, while they also make the questionaires unreasonably long and uneditable so they can data harvest and make another dollar after tech fees, Ad revenue, service charges, and insurance payments.

But we can't just not use them, because every new regulation is a 60,000$ fine, and they send ghost patients at least once a quarter to try and catch violations to rules they lobbied to make as difficult as possible to conform to.

My EHR system is 1700$ per month per office, and it has only made everything much slower and less personal, while forcing me to constantly do tech support for half of our patients.

Hippa is supposed to protect us from the data harvesting, but since the insurance companies own the tech, device, ad, and service companies, as well as most offices, they don't have to sell your data, because they're the ones who want it.

Hey redhats, how's that first amendment holding up?

The infantilization worked, and certainly not just on the people who grew up with it. My profession has me dealing with patients from all walks of life, and the majority of people I work with everyday are painfully dumb. Whether they're 18 or 80, I'm impressed that half of the people I meet managed to make it so far in life without falling out of their car.

They fall for every ad, they believe clickbait articles on facebook, they can't figure out how to check in on a tablet, with directions on the screen, that works identically to the phone they live through. They don't know anything going on in the world, or even the town around them, but they certainly know that new Burger at McDonalds, and they're the only ones that really KNOW what's going on with the country's politics. They know seven tiktok dances, but can't name the continents. They take 15 medications, can't name them, and don't even know what they're for, just that the doctor said they need them. They know the backstory of every minor character in every marvel movie, but couldn't make it through a novel if their life depended on it.

I regularly see people with uncontrolled diabetes that can't even tell me which type they have.

It worked. We're all consumers too dumb to know what we're consuming or why we wanted it in the first place .

Click bait title aside, I legit wouldn't have thought that was illegal. Certainly not arrested and in jail illegal.

There are beaches where bones wash ashore regularly, from old shipwrecks, battles, failed immigrations, or drug runners, and nobody cares.

Yeah. There was a restaurant near me that had a hive in their ceiling, and the whole store smelled like banana

With all the over militarized equipment they've deemed necessary to give out traffic tickets, I would assume those have ballot proof windshields

That's funny there's only one in my town, and it's facing the Lowes parking lot.
