What’s crazy is that some of the people I talk to, I expected to say something like “yeah, but he didn’t get a trial.”

It’s been “yeah, he’s been on trial for 3 years at UHC, and 20 before that. And he was declared guilty.”

AAAARROOOOOOO!

I don’t particularly like the comparison because I really enjoyed his performance as Paul

But you can’t argue with results

To be fair

He did get the steam deck made, so that was kinda cool.

But maybe owning 6 yachts is a little less cool.

Unless the sub and boats were like research vessels he funds, that would be cool

But they aren’t.

Why can’t billionaires dump their money into funding scientific research? It’s not like there aren’t scientists out there with plenty of research to be done.

Or even maybe wherever he lives, he could like, fund the entire county school districts for the rest of existence and no one would have to worry about taxes.

Or maybe regularly cancel the medical debt of Valve employees and their families.

Like how fucking hard is it to redistribute your own wealth?

Like fucking Christ, that’s the part I don’t understand. They complain about taxes and shit at the top, but they do absolutely fuck all to make things better for large swaths of people. Or if they do, it’s after they die and $200m gets donated to a university and it prevents next year’s tuition from increasing.

And it’s open source!

Something with diphenhydramine or doxylamine? They aren’t great to take for very long at all.

But if you notice a dependency, I don’t recommend the RX sleep meds I’ve been on for so long. One was effective for a very long time (15 years? Lunesta I think) but has gotten weaker and weaker. I’m terrified of stopping it though, its a nonbenzodiazapine so it binds to the same stuff as benzos. Taking something so long like that is bound to cause problems when I stop.

I’ve heard therapy helps. But I’m not sure how. Hasn’t done much for me.

Hmmm.

I got the magnesium supplement, but I didn’t know about zinc oxide and I didn’t know they were hard to absorb.

I better look up what foods those guys are in, make it a little snack before bed instead

Wait hold on

Aren’t you basically just taking a shot then?

Often they have quite a bit of experience in the military right?

I’m pretty sure NBC, and ABC news, as well as several articles, have mentioned the similarity to the book title. Plus, deny, defend, depose has a VERY different statement.

“Deny claims, defend legally, remove from power.” The insurance companies deny the claims, know they can avoid court because the insured can’t possibly afford lawyers when they get buried under medical debt, and the last one has multiple purposes. Remove the power of medical professionals in their care expertise, remove the power of the patient’s voice, and remove the insurance companies and executives from having this power.

However, I acknowledge that the media shills for the owner class, and I see where the suspicion that they would change the words to fit that agenda is very possible. Unfortunately, without seeing the bullets, we have no way to verify what the actual words are. The only way we get that is from NYPD’s evidence storage which would need a criminal case.

This is the part thats exciting to me.

Who hasn’t been affected by this? Or hasn’t seen health insurance denials hurt people?

They can pay security all they want. But the security better be truly sociopathic because whatever the salaries they get paid still won’t bring back friends, family, neighbors, mentors, etc.

I think it’s far more than that though. I think a lot of parents would agree with me that Christmas morning and birthdays are probably the most exciting time of the year.

Debt is debt. It is nothing compared to the joy your child gets. That joy you see in your kid is worth more than most could ever earn anyway.

And I’ve seen the poorest families happily dip into that debt. They know it doesn’t make things easier.

The problem is that he represented the hoarding dragons. The dragons believe they can keep affording these lesser beings to take the blame for their wealth.

He took measures that made things actively worse for the insured to make him and the owners wealthier.

You can’t just skip to the boss fight. You gotta carve a path.

Idk what you’re talking about I didn’t see nothing

Language is strange man

Incredible our brains can make sense of any of it sometimes

So here’s something wild I learned.

To Canadians, when I speak French, I have a very thick American accent. However, when I speak English to Canadians, they really can’t tell my accent (presumably because I live in a bordering state?).

I always respect anyone who knows just enough English to communicate something simple/frequent. Because there is no fucking way they’d understand what I was trying to say in their language.

According to a professor I had in college, this isn’t abnormal for South Korea. He fondly recollected his time spent rioting, and when he first learned how to make molotovs.

That seems unfairly obvious, but I certainly didn’t consider it before.

No, see, the real red flags are the ones you aren’t aware of yet.

Those are the ones I’m frightened of. Like there’s just this itty-bit of something just waiting for the right bump to break and cut my brake lines while I’m on the highway.

I don’t know what it is, but I know it’s there, so I gotta be self-critical until I find the piece to fix!

At the very least I can tell you my job isn’t in sales.

I know right? Turns out the kind of fish you attract with that bait are on the “catch and dispose” list.
