Swearing off masturbation when you're getting handjobs from the upstairs neighbor lady is a little bit like swearing off masturbation when you're getting handjobs from the upstairs neighbor lady.

All Glory to the Hypnotoad. I'm just sayin.

In solidarity with you, I will refrain from masturbating to women. However, trannies that look like women are still a go. Possibly men too, will see how it goes.

I think the thread needs to be renamed again. "Mikhail and Hojd's Political Thread: Decision Hodj, TKO"

Ya I blame the mods for the loss of Keg, but not Dr. Browneye. He was most def a spastic, but entertaining idiot, scary thought that he might actually be out there administering to sick people.

So don't feel like posting in possible support of Fanaskin so will post here. In a post Hodj said that the ACA was wealth redistribution like all insurance, and that even ship sailing insurance was effectively wealth distribution. I saw the post the other day but was actually while I was giving a test and so couldn't respond.

That claim does not seem correct unless I am misunderstanding something. In the ships example, it is at least likely that all ships have a possibility of sinking. This isn't wealth redistribution, it is more about spreading out risk. A better example when comparing it to the ACA would be if cart builders had to buy insurance that also protected against ships sinking, if they happened to want to sail their cart somewhere. To my knowledge that is not how it worked.

Note that while I dislike ACA, I am vastly in favor of single payer.

I dunno seems to me just that in every case of insurance, some people are paying in who are never going to see a pay out, and their monetary value of purchased protection is essentially wasted cash.

In the case of shipping, the point was to insulate rich sailors, who had more ships, and more valuable cargo on their ships, in case one of those ships sank. Inevitably, even the poor ship owners who were paying in were paying in the same amount as the rich ship owners, but were probably getting back much less value if one of their ships sank versus one of the rich ones.

In all cases there are winners of this lottery we call insurance. I don't really see it as sharing risk or spreading risk around, because in the case of the rich ship owners (or, in health insurance, in the case of the old and infirm) certain people are going to benefit far more than others, and pay in far less than they get paid out.

The whole things a fucking scam. I'd ban insurance and make everyone pay out of pocket for small shit while the government covers through taxation the catastrophic shit if I had my way.

You want viagra? Go pay for it yourself. You need a total heart transplant because you have heart disease, your taxes pay for it.

That's just me though.

Just got emailed by the director of the field school that my letter of intent is perfect and he's contacting my references.
