Are you arguing the whole world needs to allow driving up to businesses so disabled people can shop?

Are you saying its essentially a thing Republicans don't know about or understand? I have to assume every democrat has heard the word, and it has simple explanations too.

I was under the impression republicans knee but defended it but it could be an ignorance thing, thats a fair point.

Well if their voice won't draw in buyers, than its a bad investment since you could just use some generic free version a bunch of non-voice actors were paid to make by the company they work for.

If money is to be made it won't be the VAs capturing it is all I'm saying. They might even have no room in the market at all.

I think the part people leave out is that not everyone has the same goal. Most describe it as being "happy", but never consider whether thats even possible to be happy nearly all the time.

The flaw there as I see it is that humans seem to always return to some sort of baseline emotional state, but this state is not happiness. Happiness is the spikes up while sadness are the spikes down, but given enough time it always comes back to baseline.

Thats why you can find really extreme examples of happiness. Some of the time I spent in jail were truly happy times, which really confused me at the time. On the other side you might see people become depressed during or after achieving their goals.

In my opinion, having the wrong expectations for how you should feel and for how long, can turn small curable problems into consuming destructive problems.

It should be: time plus perspective heals all wounds.

I meant it more like, why blow up the pagers you spent all this effort to compromise. I would have thought that having access to those devices would be worth more covertly.

I suppose its possible the only thing they could manage to sneak into the devices was explosives though, since you have to take the board apart to find it. Its likely it looked like a board component too.

Its not prefacing it with a summary, its letting them know you have a point at the end they should wait for.

I actually prefer the type of conversation that goes back and forth and tangents, but there is a place for more long form cohesive ideas, and you should wait to hear it all before speaking.

Thats fair, there might be a better solution though if thats a reliable enough problem. At least you'd feel more secure you wouldnt oversleep.

For me routine seems to do it, I wake up the same time anyways, but if I miss too much sleep I have overslept before out of exhaustion.

But if that didnt work, theres got to be a loud enough alarm thats hard enough to disable to guarantee I wake up. At least wake up long enough to realize how exhausted you are and maybe call off work or something.

My sister had an ultra loud alarm when she was a kid but she slept through that too. I think you can get an alarm that vibrates or use your phone with a puzzle lock or something.

Sleep is important, its a worthwhile thing to do well.

I think its growing on me, there should be like a dozen variations of that emoji for proper expression.

Charity and providing care to those who present themselves are not the same thing. You might be right though that they don't bill some people, but that would work the same for citizens of both states.

Do I have it right that you blame Idahoans for coming to Washington hospitals which might mean more Washingtonians die?

Does it really matter what state the person is from who dies?

Its worse than that, the prescription model for opiates for quite a while was to maximize two things:

  1. Time on medication, how long they use it for
  2. Higher doses, how much they use per dose

And this was because those two things going up meant profits went up.

When health is for profit, this is what happens.

Sort of. Its very expensive if someone else doesnt pay for it. CVS quoted me 350$ for a single dose inhaler.

It is true that its not hard to get if you go to places that offer help, but if I'm hiding an addiction from my family, I'm not stopping by the local methadone clinic for a box of naloxone.

As for marijuana legalization, its made a huge difference. Its one of the best comfort medications for handling minor opiate withdrawal, as it takes the place of maybe 5 or so other comfort medications that are often prescribed together.

It can't be abused the same way opiates can be, it has a ceiling affect and is not dangerous to the user immediately. On top of that, before it was legal, methadone clinics would either restrict their patients who used, or kick them out. Now, they see the drug test show marijuana and just don't care.

Thats mainly from the perspective of a drug addict. A drug naive person maybe is more likely to go to a dispensary and be happy with that rather than chase street highs.

well the best way to make money in America seems to be to have money. The more money you already have now the more you can use it to make more money.

Thats probably why poor people stay poor. Not enough to snowball, its all gone ever day.
