So is this stock Yuzu without any changes? IIRC the legal issue was something about circumventing copy protection, so would this project be subject to the same issues?

Also, how do I verify that this fork isn’t malware wrapped in emulator code?

Trust him, he’s an expert on not paying bills.

But deliberately misunderstanding the term antisemitism is also quite frustrating.

Given how the term is broadly understood in modern usage, I wouldn’t say the players are misunderstanding it; I think it’s more a question of misidentifying where the pushback is actually coming from.

And I am sympathetic, given all the reasons both modern and historical that might make it easy to infer antisemitism. But starting there shuts out any possibility for nuance or discussion or learning.

What frustrates me is how hard it is to get people out of that mindset - of taking things other people are communicating and adding one’s own assumptions on where they’re coming from. You have to be able to recognize how your behavior is limiting your ability to empathize and grow, and that kind of change can be so challenging.

It feels like an uphill battle, but positive change doesn’t happen overnight.

I’m no linguist, but aren’t Palestinian people also under the umbrella of Semites? Like, by definition?

With horror movies, you at least have that layer of knowing it’s not real. Seeing the real horrors of mankind without that to protect you is truly disturbing.

I’d hope some of it gets socked away for any possible time in the future when costs may be greater.

As for the rest of it, I’d like to see it used to grow the platform - marketing to increase user base, more developers, etc. Whatever makes sense.

The US government were also months late to handling COVID, and the conservative leadership in power was actively demonizing safety protocols such as masks, vaccines, social distancing, etc not to mention their own Center for Disease Control, to the point that a fair percentage of the population is distrustful of medical science and unwilling to consider those safety protocols.

A lot of the news media (left and right) focused on things like getting people back to work in spite of the ongoing pandemic so it really forced the narrative away from collective safety and survival into economic prioritization and the illusion of normalcy.

A bit misleading, though I get your point. 2/3 of people who file for bankruptcy have medical debt, not that the medical debt was the cause of the bankruptcy.

Your assessment of this is incorrect.

The study I was referencing reports on people who specify that medical-related financial stress contributed directly to their bankruptcy. This was broken down by medical expenses and medical issues leading to loss of income - with medical expenses being the higher percentage at ~60%, and the combined percentage sitting between 65-70% (with overlap in responses).

But that costs money.

It’s worth noting that a lot of solutions actually save money.

For example, universal healthcare is a big issue in the US. Around 2/3 of all bankruptcies are from medical debt. People ration lifesaving medication like insulin because of how prohibitively expensive it is. GoFundMe is of the largest healthcare providers in the country, and over 1/3 of all campaigns are for medical expenses.

They’ve created a system where it’s prohibitively expensive to seek necessary medical care, and is built on the foundational acceptance that people need to die and suffer for it to function as intended.

Yet a universal healthcare system is projected to cost the US an estimated ~13% less than they are paying.

Taking into account both the costs of coverage expansion as well as savings that would be achieved through the MAA, we calculate that a single-payer, universal healthcare system is likely to lead to a 13% savings in national healthcare expenditure, equivalent to over $450 billion annually.

Whoosh

Now, are these “Experts” in the room with us right now? How long have they been talking to you?
