I would immediately leave and get as far away from my home as possible, since that’s where they’re coming to look for me.

There’s a reason that your instance (and others) has defederated from hexbear.

i don’t think hexbear is a good sample group for the average lemmy user nor representative of lemmy users a whole. you might do better sampling lemmy.world, or assembling a meta poll from the top 5 or top 10 instances.

Haiku - based on BeOS

“inspired by” would be more accurate. there’s no original BeOS code in Haiku for legal reasons (other than the interface, which was open-sourced with the release of BeOS 5). All backwards-compatibility with original BeOS software is (impressively) reverse-engineered. Haiku OS is, itself, original software made to - in every way - look, feel, and operate just like BeOS did.

edit: i had a buddy in high school who had a BeBox. it was like having the best of a Mac and a PC in one machine. it really was a spectacular machine and OS. i really wish Apple had picked it up, but they went with NeXTSTEP instead, which, i admit, was still a pretty solid choice.

my cat Holy Lord Emperor Finley the Magnificent and Soft wants to know wtf you mean by “once”?

I’m glad you have a hobby tracking the historical progress of life-extending technology, but I find your entire premise to be a straw man.

I have no concern about them not living long enough. So your magical “maybes” and “it could happens” are completely irrelevant.

You might be arguing against your own comments here when you hit 65 and realize you still maintain mental acuity and are thriving.

I’m not running for office nor scotus. But if I were, I’d hope reason would dictate sensible policy, not magical thinking about whatever far-off technological theoretical you might imagine.

Even Iranians are celebrating his death

Iran’s supreme leader has announced a five-day mourning period, but there have been fireworks and cheering in the country since the death was confirmed

I think it should be younger. Maybe 65.

Members of Congress and SCOTUS should also have term limits

Ok, let’s wrap this up.

Overall, I rate this a 7/10 troll. 5 base points, plus 1 for sticking with it and another bonus point for that shit about Ned Flanders. That made me laugh so hard, I almost broke character and called you out, but I wanted to see how far you’d take it.

Thanks for the practice. I haven’t had a good one of these since my Reddit days.

Time for bed. See you around, bud

There you go again with your fantasy scenarios again… or was that just projection… again?

Wow, that’s even more sad than the story you just told me.

Also, irrelevant.

1. wow, that’s sad
2. it’s irrelevant to this discussion
3. I don’t care
4. somebody has made it this far to upvote my comments….
5. if you hadn’t gambled your health and well-being foolishly by not getting health insurance, you could afford to work through these troubling issues with a trained psychotherapist rather than… this

And, again, you make a personal attack because you have no rational response.

Just because you ignore the facts and evidence does not mean that they aren’t there. Everyone else but you can see them, apparently. And I really don’t care whether you believe me or not. I only care that others don’t believe you.

And only you are convinced by your arguments. You, and a fictional cartoon named Ned.

I don’t care if you trust me. I never have. Others will trust the evidence and facts that they have seen so far.

But I will continue to point out when you post misinformation because it’s the right thing to do.

You were using straw man because you had no rational response to a discussion about health insurance.

A straw man fallacy (sometimes written as strawman) is the informal fallacy of refuting an argument different from the one actually under discussion, while not recognizing or acknowledging the distinction.[1]One who engages in this fallacy is said to be “attacking a straw man”.

No, you keep trying to change the subject, and I keep calling it out while staying on the subject of health insurance and the meaning of the word “gambling.” Again, blaming me for your words and actions.

You’re free to your “beliefs”, but the facts and evidence contradict you.

Because we are discussing health insurance and the definition of gambling. You keep trying to change the subject to various other subjects, such as:

• “being an American male”
• unemployment insurance
• your wages
• crossing the street
• my usage of quotation marks

and including religion, which is a straw man

That amnesia is really hitting you hard!

My religion says gambling is a sin.

Irrelevant to the discussion and a straw man

Insurance of any sort is a gambling as Ned from The Simpsons proves in his quote from the 8th episode of the 8th season of The Simpsons.

Fictional characters in a cartoon are not a source of reliable, verifiable facts, especially regarding healthcare and/or economic advice. And, wow, if you’re telling me that you base your financial and healthcare decisions (not to mention your religious convictions) based on a line from The Simpsons, then don’t simultaneously claim that you’re making a rational argument based on logic and facts. “Ned from The Simpsons said it” is a claim so ridiculous it really proves how desperate you are to hold onto your “beliefs” in the face of facts, evidence, and actual logic.

Now, you’re free to disagree but you haven’t been able to disprove either of those facts that together form an air-tight case for what I’m saying.

It’s your responsibility to prove your claims, not for me to disprove them, and you haven’t done that at all. Oh, and some throwaway joke from a fictional cartoon - on its own - isn’t proof of anything other than that your “beliefs” have a fictional (and very silly) basis.

Nice self-own.
