machiabelly [she/her]@hexbear.netto politics@hexbear.net•The only democracy in the middle-east just doing the will of the peopleEnglish35·8 days agoyeah the Nazis had to spend a long time dealing with internal dissent before the genocide proper. Israel never had to dissapear israeli communists or others before they started. There has been basically no instability since the nakba.
Bruh we don’t even have the right to tell our boss that they don’t feel like family to us
machiabelly [she/her]@hexbear.netto news@hexbear.net•UK will roll out chemical castration for sex offendersEnglish791·16 days agosoooooooo this is going to be used on trans women isn’t it.
ALSO! castration doesn’t fucking work because sexual violence has nothing to do with desire!
machiabelly [she/her]@hexbear.netto games@hexbear.net•Baldur's Gate 3 dev calls Randy Pitchford's $80 Borderlands 4 comments "gross" because it implies the FPS is more important than "making it day to day"English13·17 days agobasically all the loot games are slop. I remember trying to play Diablo 4 after playing Hades at high heat. Going from that to one dodge roll per 10 seconds was pretty deflating.
Literally number go up the genre
machiabelly [she/her]@hexbear.netto chapotraphouse@hexbear.net•Man it must be nice to live in a communist country wherein like 98% of the GDP doesn't go to billionaires, billionaire owned corporations, and the military.English1·2 months agoCuba has great healthcare for it’s level of wealth but I’d be hesitant to call it world class. It lacks a lot of the high tech medical equipment that exists in more wealthy countries. If you have some rare form of cancer, for instance, you’ll probably receive better care in the “west” than in Cuba. Assuming you can afford it that is.
What’s important about Cuba is that they flex the healthcare resources that they do have entirely to what is best for its people, instead of what is best for corporations. Preventative medicine is incentivized in a socialized system while capitalist medicine would rather wait until you get sick enough to require a procedure that they can charge a lot for.
I can only imagine what level of healthcare Cuba would be able to provide if not for the crippling sanctions they have to endure.
Legume systems research sounds like one of the most worthwhile things you could possibly research.
Extremely nutritious crop that nourishes soil? Nah, definitely not worth researching for literal pennies on the US budget
