This is actually one case insurance companies would be ALL OVER a real fix. People with spinal injuries have tons of medical complications that cost throughout their entire life. An insurance company would definitely be interested in unloading persistent fiscal drains like that.

Don’t get me wrong, the medical insurance industry is a fucking terror, especially in the US with the degree of regulatory capture involved. In this one case though, a real cure would serve their interests at anything less than a massive cost on their part.

No no. The details clearly state “demon”.

Not necessarily. He might just be greedy for a bigger job in Texas policy. If he can throw the brown shirts a little victory without it costing him reelection that could get him enough currency for them to want to support him for higher office.

Cynical exercise of power for personal gain is not illegal so far as I know.

As dumb as it is, it’s STILL the smartest thing I’ve ever heard him say.

Careful. While funny, you’re running dangerously close to being sucked in.

Not very. Negotiating and executing a deal of that size and complexity cross cutting major national, cultural, and business universes would be extremely difficult

Little practice and a decent hammer throw technique your average adult ought to be able to get higher than a six foot arc with 50lbs. Trick is to grab em by the ankles, looking them in the eye is incredibly distracting.

If an intern (or damn near any employee) can be in a position to single handedly take down that scale of system it’s not the intern that should be fired - it’s the architect that baked that kind of weakness in the first place.

I’ve tried this a few times and my fingers always get really Fucking confused after about four bits.

I have a four year old, and if the voice actors of Gabby’s Dollhouse were paid one cent per stream I would owe them about $100

Seems like the logical choice, his neck tie game is on point. I suppose a double Windsor is easier to tie with six appendages and compound eyes.

Maybe he should run for office? With a resume like that I bet he could at least score a seat in the house of representatives
