It’s real easy. They’re gonna have a different nurse ask you every 15 minutes for your insurance information, and if that fails, they’ll assign a social worker to sit with you and begin applying for medicaid benefits on your behalf. They will slowwww your treatment because they know you aren’t indigent and this point, you’re either crazy or playing them. They may call for a transfer to a psychiatric hospital, they’ll certainly be making moves at this point you want to avoid. They know how to get their money. Charity care isn’t just a pot you can freely dip in or we’d all be doing it.

But I like the spirit of the thing.

And they’re not invoking article 5 of Nato which makes an attack on 1 an attack on all.

Instead, article 4, which is some navel-gazing shit about figuring out if there’s a threat.

For us it begins at the grassroots. We don’t have billionaires willing to create a national organization. So form small liberal groups, and then network them together. I’m serious. I started a group for queer men last year, now I am taking over the entire progressive scene in my state by creating an overarching organization that connects over a dozen key players (ACLU, Prides, migrant and trans organizations). If we did this in every area, and then networked THEM… well shit we’d have a base of power and even fundraising capabilities. IDK what else to do.

The periodic table is predictive. From a few elements, the rest could be projected and expected, like the Higgs-Boson. The table makes no predictions for things we cannot measure and are in fact theoretical, like dark matter which lacks any empirical evidence. Would be awesome if it did because then it wouldn’t be theoretical anymore.

It works if you’re like 22 and have few responsibilities and much free time.

If you’re 44, fuck that noise, I got a routine to keep or everything will fall apart.

They have royal pie takers who, according to the Magna Carta, have to stand in.

Cheerleader Chicken and I feel like Netflix has already started working on the pilot

The original is great and it’s incredible to inspire no matter

If anything the media is sanewashing harder than ever as they’re like, “oh the economy is starting to flash red lights, and nothing to worry about yet, but it could be bad” bitch please there’s a goddamn economic armageddon coming and a disease one to follow, but OK let’s keep everyone calm.

I’m in this weird middle ground where I hate FB with a passion and it depresses me every time I log in, but I need to create a personal brand for my business (and to get laid, who am I kidding) and honestly I’m thinking about getting one of my friends to run it for me, which seems weird but

Shh they like to say “only 22k jobs” like we’re still growing just not as fast

The media today was a case study in “ok don’t panic everyone”

My boss just lies. My predecessor DID have open heart surgery, and retired so he could have a heart replacement, so he missed a lot of time. They used to have a “sick time bank” but turned it off and enabled rollover instead. So my boss apparently just told everyone he was in his office for 6 weeks while he was hospitalized. Nice, but shouldn’t have to risk your own career and retirement to be human.

Hey smuggle in some of that sweet sweet fentanyl to boost your profits

I went to a gay camp earlier this year and a couple of the RVs had starlinks. They don’t care and they don’t think their dollars matter.

In fact I had a whole chat with my boss today about Chick Filet, he asked if I was boycotting (and said his gay daughter is too). He then launched into this spiel about how you’re always supporting evil somehow so it doesn’t matter.

I’m like, yeah but not one penny of my money goes to them, and that’s all I can care about.

Maybe it’s just really long, like a foot long, and it’s just wrapped around where you can’t see

In which case the other dude is in for a wild night

About a year ago, we started seeing that “this app is depreciating” warning and sure enough, snatched up. But it does still work for now.

Microplastics in the air caused by brake and tire dust seem to be the most compelling link I’ve seen. But that would mean a rethink of way too much, so blame a generic drug no one will bother defending.

For normal people yes, for people who lack emotional regulation, “I am sad” can be an identity because you might get stuck in it for years at a time. Decades.

I think the author here is speaking to those people more than just your average joe who could care less about the distinction between state and characteristic because they understand the difference already.

lol ohh other top. Well CT is on my vaca list now.

Having a gun will not protect you from the military, which is now our enemy.

There is only the option to run and I encourage trans people to begin executing those plans I know you’ve been making to get to higher ground. Pool your resources, go together, support each other.

Hey I’m stuck here also and have made it a project to connect and unify all the queer organizations. Stay tuned but it’s time we got our shit together and several of us agree. We can be more effective. We should be more effective.
