  • That's interesting, I've had the exact opposite experience. Google pixels have always been much less buggy than the galaxies I've had

  • One of my pups is like this, everyone thinks it's cute, so I never tell them why it's like this.... but, she got her ear bit by an asshole dog. It was clear through. It's healed now, other than it flops.

    After it happened though (and I, unashamedly, kicked the fuck out of the dogs face once I got them separated because the owner wasn't doing shit( I'm still furious)), she was back to her happy bouncy life. The vet didn't even have to put her under to clean it, she just... chilled. "Yeah, thanks bro, that was bothering me"

    American bulldogs man... they'll just shrug off anything as long as you're there with them.

  • Claiming their questions were answered similarity in areas where abortion is legal and there are no extra risks.

    It's almost like there's been a trend across states to limit access to this due to the federal court case. And pregnancy could last longer than the individuals remaining access to this procedure.

  • To what end? Should we not publish studies that require additional research? If we don't publish those how will others in the field know to investigate certain areas?

    I mean, if you honestly don't want things published until we know all the facts, then science and research will honestly grind to a halt.

    That's how this shit works ... Small, iterative steps. It's slow, it's not sexy, but it's worked for thousands of years.

  • and lost a lot of weight.

    I like that you included value beyond just immediate monetary

  • And you're right. What I was describing was not a copay, but a deductable (please check the words I used, as I called it a deductable :) ).

    Sure but the conversation was about copay ;)

  • Well, hopefully John Oliver will do another special on medical debt and create another medical debt collector agency whose purpose is to free you from medical debt. Because that's probably your best hope. You know... a British dude that feels bad for Americans... that's... that's how this should work right?

  • If you had no co pay you wouldn't have had a $200 bill ( unless you went out of network and then fuck you for wanting to have a choice)

  • Why is this marked NSFW?

  • If a multimillionaire puts their assets into holdings and gets it back after their tenure, then the incentive to corruption still exists because they can still make decisions that affect those assets even indirectly.

    Not really if they don't know what the portfolio is composed of, the only way they could definitely positively affect it is if they make decisions good for the whole of the economy.

    That's what I was actually proposing, the politician would transfer complete holding to someone like vanguard and they would diversify the assets in a reasonable way. The politician would not have control over it or even see what stocks are in the account, but still be able to benefit from the country's economy.

    All the politician could see is the valuation of the holdings in the event they do want to liquidate, but again, they wouldn't directly choose what is being liquidated (because they don't know what they have)

  • As far as divesting, would you be okay with not necessarily liquidating but moving investments into a 3rd party holder?

    Basically like "okay this is what you had in an investment fund, now a third party (for sake of argument fidelity) takes over the fund and now fidelity advisers manage it in its entirety until the person is no longer a representative.

    The question really being, what kind of divesting do you want? Because straight liquidation could still negatively impact younger candidates, given that the liquidation would remove potential legitimate interest from their portfolio. Meaning that them running could negatively impact their future.

  • I have a 2000 and a 2014. I don't expect to replace either until both of them die. Even then... I also have a motorcycle. I really don't want to buy any of the nonsense coming out these days.

  • Lmao, you can bypass a Tesla to get all the subscription stuff, so I'm sure someone's figured out this nonsense too

  • Your first statement is all well and good but your second statement is flat out wrong. That can only happen given a static population. But humans reproduce pretty rapidly. There will always be new customers until we hit a carrying capacity limit, but as technology improves the earths carrying capacity keeps going up, until of course we decimate resources and then it'll come crashing down.

    If it's not housing, it's a golf course, or business district or something. The old "if you build it, they will come" plenty of people also don't spend their lives in the same place so moving to a newer, better facility is enticing to those that can afford it.

  • Ah yes, because that's how capitalism works. People would definitely stop developing the rest of the island because they don't need more housing.

  • Yes, that doesn't happen in cities at all.

  • HOAs have excessive rights especially newer ones and this is probably actually legal. The city likely owns none of it btw.

    HOAs are a blight on American home ownership, John Oliver did a segment on it, but new HOA contracts are crazy if you haven't had a peek at one.
