The cost to the insurance company is realistic. The cost to the insured - no.

I know. I was simply making a point to the person who blamed avoidable deaths on the profit motive. While inadequately stated I think the point was precisely yours: the government healthcare is as capable of failing people as private insurance, if for different reasons.

And I know of a person whose 40 year old relative just died because the Italian universal healthcare system denied one cancer treatment that was working. Supposedly this system doesn't have a profit motive.

It's worse than just a lie about El-Sayed: Unlike El-Sayed, I am an immigrant. I am grateful to this country, it did give me a lot. But my gratitude has nothing to do with my rights in & responsibilities to the country, in no way it restricts how I may criticize it or participate in its civic life.

I went through it as an adult. It's been a long time ago but: no, it doesn't really take much money or personal time. Not nearly enough to justify the risk of even a tiny lie. And staffers may have been simply correcting ambiguities in anticipation of precisely this kind of racist attack.

Sure. Nevertheless, there is no way for pilots to have absolute knowledge before the landing what the plane take off weight will be -- after all no one tells them the weight of bribes that Trump will bring on board. So yes, Trump lied (no one disputes this) but the scenario is at least conceivable.

Whatever they allege - she didn't do it. How do I know? There was no motive. She was a permanent resident admitted as a child refugee in 1995 and was eligible for citizenship in 2000 one way or another. I can't believe it was possible to make me passionate in defending Omar but here we are.

To claim that you scored a goal you'd have to 1) show that the hack which affected you had anything to do with the website you registered for 2) that they actually stole anything which puts you at any risk. You might have scored a goal but it was neither the same field nor the same sport.

1. I'm sure the compromised website was the one with a free article, not one of thousands you gave your info to. 2. What personal information do they have other than email & password you'd never reuse? 3. How did they send an email to a disposable email address you immediately deleted? Yes, free.

Sure. Pilots & air traffic controllers did the calculation. Trump lied. But in principle planes do need longer runways for takeoff & the 747-8 at maximum weight needs a longer runway than available at that airport. Still Trump with his coterie doesn't weigh enough to bring the weight to the maximum.

(((woland))) 🇺🇲✡️🇺🇦 @voland66.bsky.social · 15/10/2026
Apparently, planes need shorter runway to land than take off. However, had the runway been too short for takeoff, the Bribe-747 would have been stranded there (unless Trump and his coterie bring the weight to the maximum takeoff weight).

This is great satire as should be expected from a satirist that Girnus is (not a nobel prize commissioner). It would have been slightly better if it didn't make a mistake of saying that Trump took the office 10 days before the nomination deadline (he took the office a year and 10 days before).

Bashar' father was in power since 1970, persecuting Jews for over two decades before allowing the remaining community to leave. But, of course, this is ancient history, unlike the 1948 war in Israel, right?

Except (as you agreed at the beginning) the "white" people never considered Jews to be white until they could use "white" to blame Jews.

Neither do Russian, French, Arab, Japanese and so on. Yet DNA tests can determine Jewish & all those other ancestries. All those peoples form ethnic groups which also share common culture & history. Racism, lies & monumental ignorance - you got quite a collection of "virtues".

A direct quote that doesn't mean what you claimed it to mean: Jews being to the same ethnic group. Two generations erased differences in educational achievements but Jews remained Jews.

I did read and engage. My conclusion is: under no circumstances the reaction "whoa, maybe it's a ghost" can be considered rational in the 21st century.

No. It is not any less of a stretch unless it's a joke you play on your kids on Halloween. Under no circumstances can "whoa, maybe it's a ghost?" be rational in the 21st century. But it does explain your willingness to think that LLMs are conscious.

(((woland))) 🇺🇲✡️🇺🇦 @voland66.bsky.social · 11/10/2026
If there was a verbal element, I'd suggest looking for electronic devices you might have forgotten to turn off, checking the sound isolation (maybe you heard your neighbors) and, failing all else, seeing a doctor. Thinking "could it be ghosts?" is one reaction that's not rational.

Jews are an ethnic group. Ethnic groups exists. Your link has nothing about "ethnic groups disappearing in 2 generations" but about the difference of educational outcomes between two Jewish populations disappearing in 2 generations. I guess you aren't just a lying racist but a lying racist idiot.

Oh, I read it. That information has nothing to do with lies you are promoting and no relation to the statement about 'disappearing ethnicity' that you made (which in turn has nothing to do with your lie that Jews are bad white colonizers).

Nah, Russia uses Trump but it doesn't really care about Trump & trumpists. It believes it needs to attack Ukrainian infrastructure & civilians and it won't stop. It is possible, however, that for a few days it will prioritize attacks on civilians even more, giving Trump a chance to blame Ukraine.

As I said: isn't it amazing how well accepting German culture and identity worked out for German Jews? Did you say their ethnicity disappeared within 2 generations? Is that why they had a chance to survive if they didn't have a single Jewish grandparent?

Is not it amazing how well this worked out for German Jews, the most assimilated Jewish population in history? And yes, in the Arab world Jews who abandoned their culture and religion eventually escaped dhimmi status.

Israel redefined nothing. For antisemites like yourself Jews are always: * Non-white when it is socially acceptable to scapegoat non-white people * White when it is not socially acceptable to blame non-white people but the society wants to have scapegoats.
