"I personally know more skydivers injured by parachutes than whatever they are supposed to prevent"

You are making his point.

You are arguing whether or not you need a parachute when he is saying don’t have to go skydiving at all.

If a doctor prescribed skydiving as a cure to anything, it would be just as erroneous.

I said killed Stickfigure changed his comment from “drivers”/“airbags” to “skydivers”/“parachutes” What I would say to “parachutes” is that evidently so many people do not go skydiving - why? If doctors were peddling skydiving as a cure to anything, I would be just as skeptical as when they suggest radiating yourself to death.

ya stickfigure is an idiot

Having nationalized medicine does not mean drug sales don’t occur, it just means the doctor is not the dealer, and often doesn’t run a private practice. The facilities still purchase drugs and equipment from private manufacturers. In your example of a socialist country where the doctor is not incentivized to sell Drug A - someone above him still is. After all, big pharma sells their drugs to government sponsored heal…

But the doctor doesn't have any incentive to push whatever the purchasers recommend. The Scottish NHS really does care about treating people. I know several people who work there. Your "people like me" spiel is a little lame because you are rather obviously ignorant of the world. Why don't you expand your knowledge rather than continuing here?

You guys aren’t very good at beating trolls tbh

I don't write my comments just for the people I'm replying to. It's more for people who might believe what they wrote.

I don't really care if the original post is trolling. Frankly it's rather sad that people feel the need to get attention online by pretending to be stupid. I wish they had better lives.

he's one of the most filmed men in the world. they'll jam an AI model of him on every platform they can

In all seriousness, I think they'd only get away with it for about a month before international leaders started demanding answers and a live meeting.

there is a US senator who has been dead (either braindead, or literally dead) for weeks now yet no one has seen him -- why do you think they wouldn't pull the same with Trump?

and given T-bone's history for saying and doing dumb shit AI hallucinations wouldn't even tip the scales

At some point, after watching this video[0], I was never able to watch a movie with Tim Curry and not think about Haskell. 0: https://youtu.be/LnX3B9oaKzw?t=3m6s

It's a little disappointing that the possibility of a "Tim Curry" association was the reason to ditch Curry?

I think that’s why it stuck with me.
