Socialism is the neighborhood coming together to provide candy for everyone. Communism is having your kids pool their candy together and giving each of them the exact same amount. What you did isn't even capitalism, it's theft. Oligarchy, in fact.

No one corrected him because the majority of the press is too afraid to call him on it, lest he sue the hell out of them or banish them from briefings. Pathetic state of affairs.

    I was recently declined a medication by the evil empire insurance company until more proof of it being necessary was done. People, for this particular medication it can only be verified by my own sensations and perception, which I validated. Oh, the out-of-pocket cost for it is like $6000/month and I can't help but wonder if that has anything to do with enhanced scrutiny? I think a [/s] goes here. Sadly, this is the best healthcare situation I've had in the US throughout my life. Burn it down.

    Meanwhile, in England at least, if a medical professional deems it necessary then it happens. Granted, if you require medications you have to pay for the prescription (currently at £9.90 per item).

I got a notification saying that this comment has been upvoted, but it doesn't have any. If I was downvoted, I don't see why, because I was only mentioning that on a different comment, Lady Eowyn said that she downvotes every comment which has the word "Murica". I was merely making a harmless comment suggesting that Lady Eowyn wasn't here.

    It's not even that the health insurance tried to deny it, but all the people involved in that claims process were being paid for their time, by US, through insurance premiums, money that could have stayed in our pocket or instead used for future medical payments. That's something people often don't understand - that Americans ridiculous system has all these middle men that cost a lot of money.

    Very sad truth, but my mother needed to be flown to a different hospital. Her flight was delayed because our hospital only had manual-pump ventilators. They had to find a flight that could include an extra staff member just to pump the ventilator. I was absolutely appalled. I know that I live in a very rural and poverty-stricken area, but I honestly did not know that manual-pump ventilators were still in use anywhere. That my mom's life and care were dependent upon this was so revolting to me.

    If someone els was insanitary or got themselves sick or hurt, why should We be the ones that pay for their hospital time? we’re not involved? If they hurt themselves, how about for a change, they realize the medical costs and don’t do it in the future. seriously, what are these democratics up to?

    From America's Funniest Home Videos in the 1990s to modern internet communities like "There Was an Attempt" and viral TikTok compilations, fail content has proven to be one of the most enduring forms of entertainment. These videos showing people slipping, stumbling, and spectacularly messing up simple tasks generate billions of views across platforms, but the reason for their popularity goes far deeper than simple humor. The psychology behind our love of watching others fail reveals uncomfortable truths about human nature and the way we maintain our sense of self worth.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    The primary psychological mechanism at work is schadenfreude, a German term that translates literally to "harm joy." This universal human emotion describes the pleasure people feel when witnessing the misfortunes of others. While the term originated in German, similar concepts exist across cultures, demonstrating that this is not merely a Western phenomenon but rather something fundamental to human psychology.

    Strangely i don't think we can entirely blame them as individuals (possibly a little). At the moment there is a culture which is especially prominent with more right- leaning politicians to have a dangerous mix of disinformation and distrust of anything that disproves that misinformation. So these people are being taught the wrong information and then told that any other information is "lefty propaganda".

    Social comparison theory, developed by Leon Festinger in the 1950s, explains that people constantly compare themselves with others, and watching someone else fail can make us feel relatively better about our own competence and status.

    Studies demonstrate that self esteem has a negative relationship with schadenfreude, meaning individuals with lower self esteem tend to experience this emotion more frequently and intensely. When people with fragile self images see others fail, especially those who appear more successful, they experience stronger self threat when confronted with high achievers, and witnessing these people's misfortunes increases their schadenfreude. This suggests that fail videos serve as a form of psychological self medication, temporarily boosting the mood of viewers who may feel inadequate in other areas of their lives.

    The popularity of fail content might also have evolutionary roots. Psychologist Richard Smith suggests that our delight in others' suffering may stem from knowledge that we are getting a competitive advantage, as Darwin proposed that all life is in constant competition for resources and mates. In this framework, watching someone else struggle represents a relative gain in social standing, even if only psychologically.

    So, the concept of “body positivity” is a bit misunderstood.. whether it’s Megan Trainor, Lizzo, whoever, it does not mean “I’m fat, I’m happy to be fat, I want you to be fat, I want to be fat forever” necessarily. “Body positivity” means that whatever weight people are, they have the right to be respected for who they are as a person and treated like a human being. And if they want to lose weight, by diet or injection or surgery or exercise, it’s their choice! Someone’s overweight, it means they’re lazy or sloppy or stupid. If they lose weight, they’re a sellout and “I thought you said you were happy being fat, you can’t have it both ways” What is so difficult about treating others how you wish to be treated….?

    i agree in every case except for Megan Trainors. you are completely right, that body positivity is literally just about "everyone, regardless of their weight, skin color, or other physical appearance, deserves to be treated and respected as a person". that is a great message and i will never have any issue with it. where i do take issue, is that Megan Trainors whole career up to this point has basically been defined as "im a big girl, and im better than you because of it". you cant preach body positivity and then have a line in a song saying "those skinny b*****s". She built her career out of being bigger, belittled those that were smaller, and then took the first bus out of fat town the second the ozempic craze hit. its just kinda gross in all regards imo.

    If you think about it, on Ozempic people are eating maybe one small meal per day and not snacking. It would save hundreds, if not thousands of dollars in food costs each month. Even adding the cost of the prescription into the equation it would still be cheaper to use ozempic rather than eat! (I'm not advocating either way: To each their own)

    Body positivity does not mean you have to stay the weight you are. Body positivity is about realizing that there is beauty in every type of body instead of only the few that fit the 'beauty standard', that bodies are wonderful things that are about way more than how they look (how amazing is it that your body enables you to walk and dance and see and listen to music and have órgasms and taste food!), that you can love and celebrate your body regardless of how it looks, that people deserve respect regardless of how they look, that people are allowed to have an opinion regardless of their bodies. You can believe in all those things, and still choose to use medication to lose weight. Also, she's allowed to change her mind about stuff, that song was a long time ago.

    Do not loan her anything else

    There appears to be a threshold where empathy overrides schadenfreude, as videos containing gore or intense violence appeal to different psychological mechanisms more related to how people cannot look away from disasters. The most popular fail content features relatively minor mishaps where people are embarrassed but not seriously hurt, maintaining the delicate balance between amusement and genuine concern.

    Research has shown that experiencing schadenfreude can actually enhance satisfaction of basic psychological needs including self esteem, control, belongingness, and meaningful existence, particularly when another's setback occurs in competitive circumstances. This helps explain why fail content remains so consistently popular across different platforms and generations. It is not just mindless entertainment but rather fulfills genuine psychological needs for viewers seeking to maintain or boost their self concept.

    The enduring appeal of fail content ultimately reveals something both troubling and deeply human about our psychology. While we may feel guilty about laughing at others' mishaps, these moments of schadenfreude serve important psychological functions related to self esteem maintenance and social comparison. Understanding this mechanism does not make the enjoyment disappear, but it does illuminate why these videos continue to captivate audiences generation after generation.

    This story has been blown out of all proportion. People want you to believe a poor woman on food stamps baked a few cakes to earn a little cash on the side. She was running a business and defrauding the government. She was caught stealing $20,000 in total but was offered a deal where she admitted one count of stealing $1800. Had she taken the plea deal she would avoided jail entirely. But she refused and now she's going to court to face all the charges where she could be given a maximum of 10 years but in reality will get nowhere near that.

    They applied the "percentage" part twice. 10% is 0.10, as they use, but then they try to convert it into a percentage again by dividing by 100. Either one on it's own would be fine, but together it results in a 0.1% raise instead of a 10% raise

The absolute cruelty of the ones in power against their captives is going on here in the US, with much less frequency, but even one person hurt like this is so wrong

    While this is a clear case of whataboutism, indeed the world doesn’t seem to care by far as much about the Rohingya as it does about the Palestinians, and demonizes Israel to a much greater extent than it does Myanmar.

    I agree that it is terrible what is going on in Myanmar. However, its my tax dollars supporting a genocide. To compound this, if I complain, I am branded anti-Semite.

    Because we have 2 years of direct live genocide with no consequence for Nazinyahu and his friends? Palestine shall be free.

    Good grief! No wonder this buffoon is such an utterly incompetant "businessman", he clearly hasn't the first clue about basic trade & commerce!

    Relatively coherent sentences, and the absence of words all in capital letters, suggests an adult drafted this for him

    "Give us your trade secrets then GTFO," he says. " We're better than you anyway," he says. It is genuinely shocking how arrogant he is..

    Have you ever heard him speak? Trying to follow his incoherent babbling is stroke inducing.

    Being this dimwitted is remarkable. Garnering applause for it was concerning. Having been elected - twice - for presidency is disillusioning.

    So we’ll kick your company out of the US but send us back your employees to train Americans how to do the job we just cost you. And he thinks this will work!

    $1m. Like me giving $100. Big deal, although I guess it’s the thought that counts.

    I'm confused.A ton of vets have full sleeves. They often go into law enforcement. Below the wrist is a little unusual. What am I missing here? Honest question.

    They left out the second photo where everyone made fun of him. So he was attempting to look like a baddie but was mocked mercilessly.
