I think people in the future will look back at us here - at the turn of the millennium and consider us to have still lived under a kind of pathetic feudal system.

It sure feels that we are reverting to it more every day.

Yeah it doesn't seem that unusual to me. Like of the crazy thing Demi Lovato has said and done, this ranks really low.

🤣😂 damn dude

The pigeon was not blown up; therefore it couldn’t have been Michael Bay

Not a Demi fan but offending the Christians is a tradition as old as Christianity itself, let her do it

I would like to see the banned poster. I bet it’s rather mundane

Ah yes, the US. I can't say I'm well informed, but I've heard things about your healthcare.

I'm from Belgium and it's pretty decent here. Cheap, mandatory health insurance, good accessibility to doctors, and well equipped, modern hospitals everywhere. Plenty to complain about if you want, but compared to a ton of other places in the world, I feel extremely lucky to be born here.

Usually, you can get an appointment with your GP in a matter of days, or the same day. In case of my own GP, he introduced a rather annoying system where you can only make an appointment for that day, from 7 in the morning. That mean I have to be ready with the app or behind my PC at that time, because all the appointment slots are filled up in a matter of minutes. No idea why he did that, but compared to having to wait weeks or months, it's fine.

Specialists do take longer here as well, on average, but there is usually something to be done if the matter is a little urgent. Like, if my GP thinks I should really see a specialist soon, he might make a call to the specialist himself to get me squeezed in.

I wish it could be aliens just one even if it's a threat to humanity cuz aliens are cool 😣

LOL!

And now it's turned into a Streisand effect

Except this completely ignores the non-protocol and incompetency leading to it being mishandled and stored improperly for years. It’s willful blindness. “But now they are handling it properly” isn’t the point here. It’s that it occurred IN MULTIPLE INSTANCES and led to documents in multiple locations. That’s not ok.

We need to stop messing around. Open all the taps of all the oil rigs and let it flow. Then just nuke it all and let's get this party started! We all know how this movie ends, so let's stop messing around. Lite it up and let the world burn! (No, I am not in the least bit being satirical. This is obviously the way it's going to end.)

Basically. I'm also not from the UK, I'm from Philly but I have medicaid and the doctors hate my insurance because they often underpay or forget to pay. Specialists can take even longer. I'm currently waiting to get surgery done but the OR the doctor uses has no open slots for the foreseeable time and has to wait until the next schedule comes out.

Seriously, a year for a GP? How can that even be a thing? What did you say when you finally got there? Hi doctor, I was dealing with a cough a year ago but I'm better now?

I can only get appointments for my GP on the same day as making the appointment. But I'm not from the UK.

The one who inspired Fleming to use the name for the character was an American Ornithologist who wrote Birds of the West Indies. In Die Another Day, you can see Bond reading it.

Did the bird explode?

I'll take having them, immediately contacting the archives, and handing them over ANY DAY.

You know, following protocol for it.

At least they are honest.

Because it's a nottheonion-y title.

The website that published the news is a local news site.

Perfect.

A year ago, it was an open question

And yet, you provide no explanation as to why I’m wrong. Typical tactic of a person with a dog shit opinion. It’s so terrible that he wants [checks notes] working healthcare.
