catloaf , to News in My Health Insurance Company Is Trying To Kill Me

That's called life insurance.

catloaf , to News in A new sign for I-95 misspelled ‘Central.’ PennDot hid it under a black cloak.

Yeah but like... have you seen how big those signs actually are? If you're working with them, they're so big that it's hard to read them up close. And the pieces might have been upside-down, making it even harder. I'm willing to give most of the people involved a pass. But not the people at the sign shop that should be checking before cutting the decal or whatever, or the people doing (or rather not doing) quality control before letting the sign leave the shop, or whoever was standing around watching when they were putting the sign up (unless they pointed it out and got told they'll put it up anyway until they get a fixed one).

catloaf , to News in ‘I am innocent': Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao speaks days after FBI search at her home

The FBI generally doesn't raid the homes of people who have done nothing wrong. You'll have to forgive me for thinking it should still go to trial.

catloaf , to World News in President Joe Biden ‘appalled’ by violence during pro-Palestinian protest at Los Angeles synagogue

Lies of omission are still lies.

catloaf , to News in Julian Assange has reached a plea deal with the U.S., allowing him to go free

If it's legal in Russia, they should not extradite.

If I post this picture to VK from my home in the US, should I be extradited to Russia for it?

catloaf , to News in ‘Too many old people’: A rural Pa. town reckons with population loss

It's the fluoride, I knew it! No wonder I listen to so much pop music.

catloaf , to World News in Netanyahu says he won’t agree to a deal that ends the war in Gaza, testing the latest truce proposal

Palestine is an Israeli autonomous region? Wild that someone would come right out with the colonialist revisionism, but okay.

catloaf , to World News in Netanyahu says he won’t agree to a deal that ends the war in Gaza, testing the latest truce proposal

Hamas wouldn't, but Hamas would lose power. The reason they're in power is because they aimed to fight Israel (and because they suspended elections once in power). If both Gaza and the West Bank came under Palestinian Authority control, Fatah would be in charge (at least until whatever election).

catloaf , to World News in Netanyahu claims Israel saw ‘dramatic drop’ in US arms shipments

Give them a refund.

catloaf , to News in US Olympic and other teams will bring their own AC units to Paris, undercutting environmental plan

Those all sound like good things, though. There shouldn't be an interstate right through downtown. And god knows transportation in Boston is a mess and desperately needs work.

catloaf , to News in Texas woman allegedly tried to drown Palestinian-American girl, aged 3

It's to make sure you show up for your actual trial.

Obviously she committed a crime, so she was jailed, but they have to do all the work to put the case together to prove it at trial. During that time, they don't want you to skip town and avoid justice, so they put you in jail. But keeping people in jail is expensive, so you can give them a pinky-promise based on your reputation ("personal recognizance"), or something of value that you get back when the trial happens (bail money).

You can still skip bail, you'll just lose that money, and I'm sure there are additional charges for when they find you.

catloaf , to News in New York’s Fat Beach Day gives plus-size people a space to be themselves

Yeah, there's a hard-wired positive feel-good response from eating until you're full. Unfortunately, when food is plentiful, that means you're going to be overeating all the time. Conversely, if you're eating at a deficit, that means you're not going to have that feeling of fullness any more, you're going to feel like you've still got room. You're not truly hungry, but you're not full either. There's a difference between being actually hungry and just not being full, and a lot of people lose that distinction.

catloaf , to World News in Israeli defence minister flies to US for ‘critical’ talks on Gaza and Lebanon

That's the neat part, they don't! They have a huge domestic weapons industry already!

catloaf , to World News in Israeli tank fired at Hind Rajab family car from metres away: Investigation

How would adding this one to the list be different?

catloaf , to News in US tells Israel it will support Israel in a conflict with Hezbollah

Yes, and for the US, that was nearly a hundred years ago.
