Fake. CEO’s aight choosing shit. They’re going to Paris and Barcelona

[–] [email protected] 25 points 6 days ago

They're choosing which football club they'll buy, Paris or Barcelona

yeahhhhh.... hasanabi was right, targeting trans sports was the easiest and dirtiest way to bring transphobia to the normies. people that don't even give a shit about politics and don't think about trans people one way or another can say "well at least sports are fair now"

Trans sports is where the boundaries between what people do with their own body is crossed into interaction with others. This is why it has become the favorite point to attack for conservatives.

They're cool with school shootings, though.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

That's the perfect way to explain this

Holy shit, insulin is ~$98 on average over there!?
That is literally the most expensive place to buy insulin on this planet.
Most countries have insulin available for ~1/5th that price or less, with many selling it for less than 1/10th of the US price.

I knew it was bad over there but that’s fucking atrocious.
At least you’re more free over there than anywhere else though, right?
Right?

It's absurdly actually come down significantly in the US since 2021.

That $98 is a major improvement.

[–] bitchkat 9 points 6 days ago

Probably not staying at that price for much longer.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Yeah. It's literally against the law for Medicaid or Medicare to negotiate for lower prescription drug prices. They have the largest insurance pools, and therefore an incredible amount of leverage, but nope. Gotta pay those insurance companies!

This meme is way less impressive for someone living in Europe. Ryanair will take to to either for like 19 euros.

[–] meliaesc 16 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Next you're going to say insulin is only €10

[–] [email protected] 21 points 6 days ago (2 children)

No, that's a university semester, insulin is 5€.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (1 children)

Jokes aside, for the 'muricans here, a semester in Germany is ~300€, so about 1800€ for a bachelors degree.

Insulin is free of course, or rather included in the public healthcare

[–] [email protected] 1 points 15 hours ago

So much? It was 42€ a semester last I looked. Do the 300€ include a public transport ticket for the semester or something like that?

[–] ivanafterall 5 points 6 days ago

Jesus, Mr. Oxford over here. Here in my part of Europe, they pay you a six-figure salary to attend university. It's unheard of to pay for it yourself. Must be some school.

Why does badminton even need to be separated it’s not a strength contest

[–] InputZero 24 points 6 days ago

Because some people view Men's sports as professional, and a career opportunity. Women's sports on the other hand are seen by those people as recreational, and something fun to do outside of the house.

Who would put a professional player against a recreational player? That's just not fair, the recreational player would be embarrassed at how bad they are and it wouldn't be fun to watch.

Obviously nothing I said is true but it's an opinion held by many.

Idk man when I see professional badminton they are smacking the fuck out of the cock

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

I see what you did there, setting up the punchline for your fellow lemmings, now that's what I call service.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 days ago

So men don't have to be embarrassed from being beaten by a woman.

Yeah CEO’s and shareholders are driving it to the extreme, but in the end everybody wants their interest on savings/investments, their yearly wage increases etc. The whole economic system is at fault and America is driving it to the extreme.
