"I don't understand why would Luigi (allegedly) do such a thing!? Poor poor united healthcare parasite!"

Oh look it’s the death panels

This was last year, but the point stands.

A medium .com probably-AI-generated summary linking to a Reuters summary, of a Guardian piece. What's wrong with just linking The Guardian in the first place, since they actually did the work? They're not even paywalled or anything.

(edit: actually I just checked OP's post history and I know exactly why: they're a medium .com content posting bot, their username matches the supposed "author" of the medium piece, which makes me twice as convinced the article was produced by an LLM. It also makes the fact that they're posting a 7-month old article as though it were breaking news just to scrape more engagement doubly egregious. Go fuck yourselves to infinity, medium.com)

It's Mario's time to shine now

Where are all of the Conservative party supporters in Canada that want provinces to switch to American-style medical care? You guys are always quiet on articles like this.

My dad (a chemo patient) was in the hospital with kidney problems late last year. At one point a couple of palliative care nurses came in to see him and basically told him he was dying and should go into hospice rather than continuing with chemo. My dad initially agreed but later changed his mind and told me he felt he had been pressured by these nurses. I found myself wondering if these nurses worked on commission or something and got paid by insurance companies to convince old people (on very expensive chemotherapy regimens) to give up. One of the nurses looked exactly like Jesus (the traditional white Jesus of wall art fame) and I wondered if he intentionally cultivated that specific look.

Unfortunately, my dad died less than two weeks later, so I can't say these nurses were wrong.
