I mean, it’s their names.

In 1869, Goldman Sachs was founded by Marcus Goldman in New York City in a one-room basement office next to a coal chute. In 1882, Goldman’s son-in-law Samuel Sachs joined the firm.

Melon Fanta? Tell me more, that sounds delicious

The lack of hair on the knuckles is the strangest part to me.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that smoking (including exposure to secondhand smoke) is linked to around 480,000 deaths per year in the United States.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), roughly 40,000 people die in motor‐vehicle crashes in the US each year.

I envision a website where you can get a Trump Bible and a pardon all in the same transaction. And you’ll pay far out the ass.

I feel seen.

Prion diseases are scary shit and not to be fucked with.

I like to joke that the world actually did end in 2012 and now we’re in a weird purgatory type thing.

I’ve definitely dreamed or seated on project ideas off and on for years. I also like to think about pared down versions that might serve as a proof of concept that would be easier to execute. Sometimes I actually even build a thing.

It’s marginally better if you say you’re a child. Cancer-lite if you will.

Bottom first. The leaves would serve as a flared end and a handle. You’d want it to be ripe-ish I imagine. Ripe enough to have a little give, but not ripe enough that the leaves come out too easily.

Pineapples also come in different sizes, I’ve seen some homegrown ones posted on Lemmy that seem…manageable.

This is basically the beginning of Idiocracy.

From his Wikipedia page, some selected excerpts:

Thompson joined UnitedHealth Group in 2004 and was named CEO of UnitedHealthcare government programs that included Medicare and retirement, and community and state divisions in 2021. Under his leadership profits at UHC went from $12 billion in 2021 to $16 billion in 2023.

The investigation revealed that in 2019, UHC’s prior authorization denial rate was 8.7%. Thompson became CEO in 2021, and by 2022 the rate of denial had increased to 22.7%. For both Medicare and non-Medicare claims, UHC declines at a rate double the industry average.

A lawsuit was filed against Thompson, UnitedHealth chairman Stephen J. Hemsley and two other senior executives in May 2024 for alleged fraud and insider trading due to failing to disclose an antitrust investigation into the company by the United States Department of Justice and by selling stock options before the probe was made public.

I like the trees in the background.

Kinda wild. I’ve used chatGPT a lot and never had it just flat out refuse. Even saying this persons names prevents it from responding.

I’m really sick of how pervasive it is everywhere now. You can’t sell a product or provide a service nowadays without advertising some AI aspect. I wish that would go away.

I actually pay for a chatGPT premium account because personally I find a lot of value in it. I use it to help with writing, picture analyzing (what species of … is this), and a lot more. I just wish I could decide when I want AI involved and when I don’t.

Do you know where you are?

Some people think water tastes better crunchy

I want to argue, but the 60mm compels me.

ChatGPT says yes.
