They're two policies that are long overdue for reform.

We accomplished one of the two.... I mean, mostly. The production side of things is absolutely bat shit stupid, but the rest is fine.

Electoral reform was a complete miss. Thanks Trudeau.

Greed was a useful trait when it was down to survival of the fittest before we developed agriculture.

After that, the usefulness of greed became less relevant over time, and I would argue that at this point, it's counter productive.

Just saying.

The latter.

And, star trek.

People are slowly waking up that "us vs them" includes a LOT of "us" as they learn who "them" are.

I remember stuff quite confidently.

I always say "if I remember correctly" both as "cover my ass" and also, bait for anyone who subscribes to "alternative facts".

I usually won't bother correcting you if you try to correct me, I'll just let you be wrong.

Everyone forgets Esperanto.

Alright.

I'm hoping the answer is money.

It won't be, but I can hope.

I had to stop playing when I saw the review for AC 3 (I think) from Zero punctuation.

He pointed out that the quests were almost entirely "gofer" quests... You know, you go over there and get that, then go fer that other thing and go....

I started the game not long after and I have to say, he was right. And every time I was given a quest to go somewhere only to talk to someone with little to no reason for doing so other than, I have nothing better to do in the game... When that happened, I heard his voice in my head talking about how annoying gofer quests were.

It annoyed me, and I stopped playing as a result. Never got past the first chapter.

Why was the pineapple discarded?

They don't need AI for this.

I recall that at least one website was having a transparent object follow the cursor around with a link to an ad in the invisible window. No matter where you clicked, ad.

Why waste all the electricity on trying to predict it, when you can get the same effect by simply snapping the ad link right to the cursor in a transparent window.

Bob wasn't denying anything.

He just wanted the people who were getting treatment to have insurance so the hospital can get paid.

In this context, I'm sure if someone was denied coverage, his attitude on it would be the same as his attitude on people who are not insured.

AFAIK he would have had no say on whether someone was denied coverage. He did however, have a say on whether they were denied care. His professional attitude about that was "show them the door" but that policy was rarely ever actually enforced, and the few times it was, he complained that everyone did what he was telling them to.
