Another president fond of coup d'état and authoritarianism! That was a fun read for me: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%93scar_R._Benavides

I don't recall being given the option to vote on this.

Sure, I just can't help but imagine how I personally would react if this became common for all patients.

However, Reddit executives have noticed that traffic coming from Google has limited value, as users seeking answers to a specific question often don't convert into becoming active Redditors, the people said. Now, Reddit is engaging with product teams at Google in hopes of finding ways to send more of its users deeper into its ecosystem of community forums, according to the executives.

What does this even mean (I'm afraid to know their suggestions)? So I check reddit for an answer if web search is failing me, and they're going to somehow trap me there? Tease an answer and not show anything until I sign in? Idk but sounds like I'll be using "-site:reddit.com" more and more, or realizing I dont care enough to get the answer!

I think I would be offended if some robot came up to try and provide emotional support. Its fake, and reminds me that our society values profit over human life. This should not be normalized as a necessity due to missing money that is going to the pockets of administrators, owners, insurance, and whoever else...this is pathetic.

I pay extra for paramount+ ad free version and they still show me periodic ads. Its infuriating. And they are much louder than the show content, as a cherry on top. What an awful service.

Plus they will be working against our own people. When deployed to another country there is some mental disconnect happening that I don't think will happen domestically.

Aside from tactics and training not working which I agree with, I don't believe the majority will be motivated to be effective in any way.

Well of course, haven't you seen the drivers training video?
