At first I saw that among his fleet of 6 ships, that he has a research vessel and a hospital vessel. I thought, "Ok, funding research and a fucking full on floating hospital that he can send to disasters and places in need. That would actually be pretty fucking cool."

But, then I kept reading "a full-fledged hospital, serving as a safeguard for the cruising billionaire during the COVID-19 pandemic". 🤦

It's a "support" vessel that follows his main yacht around in case he needs medical care.

Sure it sounds bad when you point out that it happens almost every day. But, that is just an average over the span of a year.

When you really look at it and realize that most schools in the US are closed for at least a month's worth of holidays, 3 months for summer vacation, and of course 2 days out of every week. Well, then you will see that it's really much much worse than you originally thought.

I go with "Ya, 42 right? I love Hitchhiker's guide. You are never going to go wrong with a guy Hitchhikers reference with me.". And then I go for a high-five that never gets returned. This shuts the entire thing down in such an amusing way.

I can totally agree with that and I think your destination is absolutely the right place. I think you just chose the wrong way to get there.

I don't want to come off as agreeing with the other poster, but this argument is so awful that I can't just ignore it.
What if the assaulter was tall? Am I supposed to slouch all day everyday? Am I literally not allowed to exist because there are horrible people in the world of varying height?

Back in my day you could block channels that spammed you with bullshit or shit video clips overlayed super loud music.

Texas used to define the content of school textbooks for the entire country.
And the people who decided what went into those textbooks were not educators or even required to have any kind of degree. They are political appointees.

Even worse, is that textbooks are not replaced with updated content every year. So, incorrect information lingers in the textbooks for years without correction. And then those textbooks are passed down to poorer school districts for even more years of use.

Look, a thousand or so years before that, god had realized that even if he personally impregnated some dark little middle eastern girl without her consent, the best he could hope for was a light skinned son with brown hair. It was so disappointing that he didn't even notice when they tortured the boy to death. Heck, when the little fucker showed up all unexpected at gods front door, god was so surprised that he accidentally drove his soul back into the corpse and reanimated it. What a mess that was! That little brown haired zombie bastard running around scaring the hell out of people... lol.
Anyway, fast forward a thousand years and god had realized that if he wanted to reset the color palette on the human race, he was going to go west a skosh and start with something a little lighter. That worked out pretty well at first but eventually turned into its own complete mess.
