Star Citizen. Can’t recommend it for anyone unless they’re really really really patient_

Pretty sure that CEO was integral in the continuation of policies and procedures that determined who the peasants were, if not the creation of, long before the shooter decided he was a dragon.

I’ve family that voted for Trump. Had plans on spending Thanksgiving there. Told them I’m not coming, and told them why. Explained that I’ll be happy to apologize if the next four years goes well. Otherwise, I’m holding them accountable. I love them, but I will not associate with them.

I’m done with the “they’re family, you have to accept them.” Bullshit.

I’m expecting that to happen, from his own camp. It’d be a perfect excuse to pull another Patriot Act and turn the screws just a bit more, pushing the nation further into an authoritarian police state.

Unchecked greed is bad for society, capitalist or communist.

People are the problem. If we could only get rid of the people. /sarcasm

Hurricane Irene and Schoharie County, NY. It’s happened before, and it’s gonna happen again.

You and Oliver Cromwell would’ve gotten along well.

He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.

Gotta know your audience.

No, I wanted you to quote the article. Here, I’ll do it for you: “The survival rate of patients with alcohol-related liver disease who receive a deceased donor liver transplant has steadily improved to reach 80–85 per cent at one year after a transplant.

Studies show that living liver transplants for alcohol liver disease have similar survival rates to other forms of liver disease.

But a study from the University Health Network showed that 86 per cent of those with alcohol-induced liver damage who were referred for transplants were rejected. Only 14 per cent of those who applied were accepted, and just six per cent received a liver transplant. There is a concern that patients with alcohol use disorder will relapse, damaging the new organ, though studies show the risk is around 15 per cent.”

… Which refutes your opinions. Gee, can’t imagine why you didn’t want to quote that.

I don’t have to imagine why that board wouldn’t want to find every excuse in the book to deny the patient the transplant either… Seems like they have several hundred thousand of them: “Using the most recent data from the Canadian Institute for Health Information on hospital bed costs (2016), Huska’s time at the Oakville hospital likely cost over $450,000 - ($3,592 per day for ICU care) with an additional 61 days in a ward bed which likely cost about $1,200 a day

A liver transplant in Ontario is pegged at about $71,000 to $100,000 in Ontario based on data from 2019.”
