Anything, or anyone, that speaks positively of 'Coddling of the American Mind' should be approached with extreme scepticism.

An interesting resource for people looking to combat shit like this is the podcast 'If Books Could Kill'.

I don't nessecirily always agree with the hosts' wider takes on things, but their reading of these types of books is pretty spot on.

Cookie clicker. But I only know that because it's the only game supported by this project

That's the kind of csr that demands to have its cheeks chubbed and hair rustled.

Same here. I switched to Fedora last year and it's been so easy...too easy 🤔

From what i understand there's plenty of dentists, but they are all private. The government doesn't maintain dentists as part of the NHS, in effect they subcontract the work out to private dentists.

We do get subsidised dentil treatment, but it's limited in scope, and the way the government has handed out the contracts means there's not enough spaces to go around.

I live in a city, and it took almost 18 months for me to get accepted as an NHS patient...in the next city over! But I was offered private treatment instantly at dentists surgeries that had "no space". The system is a fucking joke.

Wow, thank you so much for taking the time to answer. I really do appreciate it.

Going off of what you said, I am going to take what I currently have, scale it back, and attempt to get more separation between services.

Again, thank you!

I dunno, seems pretty seems pretty complex to me. I'm sure the democratically elected bigwigs in charge know a thing or two about running industries properly. There must be some other reason that countries with underdeveloped solar industries are falling behind...if only we could figure it out!

After dipping my toes into Mastodon I had naively assumed that I understood it well enough. After reading this article it is clear that I was barely even scratching the surface.

Thanks for the article!
