There has got to be a way to eliminate the waste of insurers and businesses standing in between a patient and their healthcare. What if there was like, a nation wide risk pool? 🤔
Nah, that sounds impossible.

Best thing we can do individually to help hold back the despair and isolation of fascism is to make beautiful things and memories.
Fascism wants to collapse all potential futures even those that we hold interior to ourselves, so to fight it we must embrace ourselves,one another and art.

The dems are the good cops to the GOP bad cops. Dems whine and cry they can’t do anything without the votes/power/mandate, but when they have the upper hand? They still cave.

Happy 25th birthday to version 1.0 of Counter-Strike! 🎂
![CS V1.0 Released!
Thursday, November 9, 2000
We're very happy to announce that V1.0 of Counter-Strike is now out! This is the release we've been looking forward to making for over a year now. Head over to the downloads page to grab your copy. There is a 23 meg 7.1 > V1.0 upgrade patch (cs7110.exe) as well as an 82 meg full V1.0 install (cs10.exe). Here's what's new:
v1.0
[11.9.00]
- added three new weapons:
(H&K; UMP .45, FN Five-Seven, & SIG SG-550)
- redone player models
- incorporated Valve's model blending technology
- left beta stages
And here is the PR that Valve's Doug Lombardi sent out earlier today:
Since it's initial beta release in fall 1999, Counter-Strike has become the number one played online action game-surpassing all commercial and noncommercial titles in its class. Counter-Strike 1.0 will be released later tonight to all existing Counter-Strike and Half-Life players. CS 1.0 contains new weapons, a number of gameplay fixes, as well as enhanced maps, models and animation. Counter-Strike 1.0 will be available from a variety of gaming sites in two varieties: As an update for existing CS players and as a full Mod for existing Half-Life owners.
Meanwhile, the stand-alone Half-Life: Counter-Strike and Half-Life Platinum retail products are heading to retail outlets everywhere.
Half-Life: Counter-Strike has gone gold and should be showing up at your local software store in the next few days. Keep in mind that Counter-Strike will still be a free download available right here at www.counter-strike.net along with our usual mod dev. updates.
We'd really like to thank all the fans and players of Counter-Strike that have made it so much fun to make and play. Also special thanks to Valve Software who have been great to work with on this project. Thanks also to Kendokan, Erik Johnson, Malhavoc, Bigfoot, Redm, Frank Nuccio, & b@x.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ucwjleevh3u7yq4safl6dnsa/bafkreif5l6btzrdlh5hov42vb3wjfnmwsg5y6j2s6fempfgxibu6w4e5ty@jpeg)

Looks like the Pinkertons were called into Rockstar.
For some reason the media is not mentioning that the reason GTA6 is being delayed is they fired 40 staff over threats of unionization and now the rest of their staff are revolting

Now that the lib out celebration is settling, it’s time for some harsh realities. If you thought the vile behavior towards Mamdani was bad, wait until the real ratfucking begins.

the reason we've seen these assholes burn more of their wealth, resources, and clout trying to destroy Mamdani than they ever could've lost from having him as mayor is because the public selecting their own candidate and voting him into office is like having their filet mignon pull a knife on them

It’s truly tragic how many of these US war criminals like Cheney never face justice and die in their peacefully in their homes in their 80s and 90s. I want to be happy he is dead but I am not. The million people he killed didnt get the luxury to die how he did.

Happy for the WaPo unashamed sycophants for once; it’s giving up the game on NIMBY as a concept to put blame on individuals with 0 power.

Do not make the rookie mistake I did in Unreal Engine by relying on delays. "I'm smart and know exactly how the game should play out, so I'll use my superior logic and just use delays." - this is actually not smart and uses inferior logic.

This is alarming. Every 131 days the Mamdani vote is doubling. This means every voter in NYC will have to cast 4096 votes for Mamdani by the year 2030.
