Actually, that's probably your best chance at getting your medical debt erased. If you just die broke and alone, no more medical debt!

Yep, I have no problem with doctors making what they make. Medical insurance companies are fundamentally incompatible with the mission of providing better health care. Some things are best left to the free market. Health care ain't one of them.

I feel like that would just backfire. They would wear it like a badge of honor. These people get off on conflict. Plus anybody who's an avowed Nazi will definitely let you know.

No, I found that disturbing too. What rating do you give something that's not fit for consumption at any age? NSFL?

Looks like the Nazis doing their usual schtick. All 15 of them, lol.

About 15 people wearing clothing and bearing flags emblazoned with Nazi insignia demonstrated outside the entrance to the Disney Springs shopping center

What I don't understand is why we give these fucks any air time. Don't counter protest. Don't cover it in the news. Just let them be sad and angry about their pathetic lives.

Imagine for a moment how different these events would be if literally no one showed up to fuel their hate speech. No one yelling at them, or holding protest signs, just an empty parking lot. It would really take the air out of that whole "rally" part of it, wouldn't it? It's hard to keep up the energy of an event like that when there's no one to be angry at and feed back into it.

When I was responding to you yesterday, I was trying to come up with an example of something we do that would be objectively a waste of time, but it was hard to think of something that almost everyone would agree 1) consumed your time, 2) you would do voluntarily, and 3) provided absolutely no benefit to you or anyone else.

Thankfully you replied and I have a perfect example: this conversation.

Oh, I didn't know that. Thanks for clarifying.

If I'm having fun escaping the stressors of living life as an adult with two young kids, it serves a purpose, and therefore it by definition isn't a waste of my time. Just because someone thinks something is a waste of time, doesn't mean it objectively is a waste of time.

Employers pay their workers the bare minimum legal wage, yet are shocked when the work is the bare minimum you would need to do not to get fired. Weird.

Graphics used to be the hallmark of a great game. Back in the early days, if your game didn't come with improved graphics, it was trash (like, '90s era games I'm talking about). These days, good graphics can be achieved pretty easily, so it's not nearly as important as it used to be when trying to stand out from the crowd. If I had to pick the tipping point for this trend, I would have to say Minecraft was the game that proved definitively that graphics < gameplay.

I am sincerely hoping that makes it to the US. The only thing available now is the Fair Phone 4.

The only way it becomes standard is when it isn't profitable. We can scream all we want, but people still buy that crap.
