I think I understand your point, but if news isn't for profit, who would pay the reporters? I used to write for a newspaper and it's pretty hard work.

It can't be state sponsored, due to the conflict of interest. If the state pays for the media you couldn't trust the media to accurately report on the state.

Honestly, in good faith, wondering what the other options would be.

"The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism" is a hell of read, as well as "The Navidson Record".

But "The Necronomicon" is my favorite fictional book, I think.

Same with meat on the bone for me. Like... I love a biryani, but it's so much better when the chicken/lamb is boneless. I get that the bone imparts some flavor, but I don't think it's worth the effort and mess.

I bet you money he couldn't point out where Haiti is on an unlabeled map of the Caribbean.

This! Health insurance is the reason why medical costs in the US are so ridiculous. Health insurance, and IMO all insurance, is a scam. And since the "customers" (people who NEED care) can't see the price of service beforehand, there is no way for them to choose the most cost efficient option, which allows providers to charge whatever they want. Then the insurance company can come up with reasons not to pay and put the client on the line for the cost.

I use/admin Linux each and every day at a professional level and at least once a week I'm final panel doggo.

I buy multiplayer games on steam since that's where my friends are. I pirate almost everything else unless I want to support the developer (typically small indie games or high quality stuff like FromSoft). If I buy a game, I do prefer GOG but steam can be convenient, especially on Linux.
