    Just don't even buy insurance. The best thing Trump did was remove that fucking ludicrous penalty for abstaining from all this. You even alluded to being able to negotiate on your own behalf without insurance. That's actually the best way to fix all this shit. Maybe even the only way. Old...

    Its not that the ACA is convoluted and retarded. It's that the ACA very literally "poked the bear" that is these behemoth insurance companies. It fast forwarded them trying to fuck us in as many ways as possible because it incentivized them to do so. And they did. There was never any chance that...

    That's a lot of money man.... a whole lot. I think I need to spell out that I am not joking. How can you be so casual about that? $150 more a month just for the "privilege" of having insurance (which is not healthcare)

    It wouldn't collapse the whole system. He's bought into the hospital administrator snake oil. I know a lot of you are around middle age like me but when I was young, my parents didn't have to always go in to see a PCP, they could actually call and a secretary would answer and then go ask the...

    Its almost definitely going to just empower insurance companies further to keep pushing HDHPs. Which they are already doing to great effect. Deposit mechanism into HSAs.... AKA an HDHP.

    Trying to explain economics to BTC true believers is a fool's errand. These people think it is somehow untethered to financial systems and a safehaven for end times. I don't understand how anyone can believe that when the only reason its value has skyrocketed is because institutions and now...

    I just hate the looming economic uncertainty and I don't know about any possible social revolutions but I do know that the market can't sustain high unemployment and high inflation (stagflation) for very long. I don't see how we maintain the upward trajectory as if we are some dynastic monarchy...

    The UI has always been bugged in regards to ailment status effect numbers. You can see this by just playing an elementalist with Shaper of Storms and still sometimes seeing shock values below 25% (which should not be possible). I believe its just a UI issue though, the backend is registering it...

    I would. I love being able to target decent upgrades early in a league without having to rely entirely on RNG and playtime. Its perfect because it doesn't replace high end crafting. Its just really good early.

    Fall 2025 Anime Thread

    OPM is really bad this season but I wouldn't say its because of animation quality drop-off. There is just literally no Saitama and no action. Its all Garou who honestly isn't interesting (I still dont understand how he's immortal) and side characters. They left all the ham in without any of the...

    800 to 2400 in that timeframe is significantly higher than the national average. And this debate really amounts to my impression of young people and their refusal to do things most of the rest of us kind of just understood as necessary when we were younger. Like finding a shitty apartment with...

    I agree its similar to the dotcom bubble but I think you are downplaying it a bit. Sure he is betting against two big companies that most likely aren't going to suffer much long term even if it is a bubble and pops. Its all the other AI and "AI" companies that people are dumping money into...

    It's fairly obvious this new set of Foulborn uniques was created to keep people interested in the patch so they can fuck off back to poe2. The first set of Foulborns made a bit of sense because it was sort of tit for tat on what you lost vs what you gain. This new set is like "Here's this OP as...

    I can see this being a positive for people that actually want to actively trade bitcoin or just DCA into actual bitcoin, however, are the other, established crypto trading platforms/exchanges still dubious and insecure? In other words, is there any real, actual benefit for someone who...

    Has anyone else's organization started using data platforms like Fabric (which is what we use now) to automate and facilitate creating things like new REST APIs and the like?

    Rent is not prohibitively expensive. People expecting to live at home until they are 30 and pretending its because rent is *actually* unaffordable (in the strictest sense of the word) are nothing more than coddled little shits.

    No they don't want you to give up, they want you to come in every 2 weeks for unnecessary visits they can charge you for to schedule procedures you don't need. The ACA might honestly be the worst piece of legislation ever passed in this country because now that "everyone" has "healthcare"...
