I can’t wait to see the NPR article titled “Luigi Mangione was [aquitted/convicted/excuted] years ago. Why do week keep hearing his name in comment sections?”, and I’ll see this NPR article like 5-6 years from now.

Epstien died ~5 years ago, yet I still keep seeing people talking about him.

They’re gonna attempt to do so. There’s no guarantee it will work.

The whole world is in love with Luigi from what I’ve seen with my international friends.

Have you killed thousands of people through insurance denials to make a quick buck? No?

Then you’re fine.

That’s conceptually backward to how our justice system (on paper) determines guilt. It has to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt that Luigi did it. Nobody else needs to be convicted or even accused for Luigi to be determined to be innocent.

And there are some good reasons to doubt from what we’ve seen as the public. The cops said they found his backpack in NY but then also found him with his backpack. The pictures don’t quite match. It doesn’t make sense for him to keep incriminating evidence on him in a McDonald’s. There’s a lot about it that stinks.

Dual purpose phrasing, I love it

I’m about to repartition and reinstall everything. I’m very fucking tempted to drop this dual boot nonsense now that I have a good idea of what little I’d be losing.

Good

The point was to throw out some ways that one can push for change without murdering people

And that point is undermind by those ways not being viable.

I replied to another comment about one specific way to introduce licensure risk to insurance company doctors as a way to get them to change their policies

That’s a bandaid solution at best.

Long term, I think our best bet is to keep pushing for universal healthcare that will effectively make health insurance obsolete. It’s a winning message (something like 60% of America already supports it), and we’ve come close at least twice in recent history.

This country couldn’t even turn down the guy paraphrasing Hitler, whose promised to finish gutting the ACA. The chances of us seeing universal healthcare through “the right way” isn’t good.

the broad strategic decisions made by the executives aren’t going to factor in a remote likelihood of violence on a particular executive.

That only remains true so long as this doesn’t turn into a copycat situation, which it very well might given how numerous the people with motives are, how easy it is to get guns in this country, and how fervently the people of this country are supporting the gunman.

I’m not necessarily disagreeing that it’s a false dichotomy, but do you have viable alternatives?

Trying to use the threat of possible assassination to get someone to act in a CEO role in a way beneficial to their millions of customers, that’s just not stable.

Nothing about our current situation is stable. So yeah, of course the violent symptoms of the starving and ill masses won’t be stable either.

who asks us tu put their shitstain straight in production today because our fucking moron of a manager told them so.

That right there is the problem. It’s one thing to take a shitty piece of work from a non dev and use that to get an understanding of what the product should do, and it’s another thing to just copy/paste it into prod.

Arguably, that’s for the best. If somebody with domain knowledge knows enough to make a basic form that’s needed with HTML and Javascript (ignoring keeping the Javascript part), it makes it very easy for the devs to take that, run with it, and turn it into an actual product.

FUCK active directory

Looking at you c/linuxsucks

For me personally, it was easier to just write a few python scripts to parse the CSV files from my banks.

I switched over to this last month, and I’m already a fan of it. It did take a bit of time to port over my old shtitty excel tracking, and to write a few python scripts to parse the export CSV files from each of my bank accounts, but it is very clearly worth it.

One of the nice things is that it uses a SQLite db to store everything, so if shit ever hits the fan with one of my drives or the software, it isn’t the end of the world.
