Interesting direction, any recommendations? As I feel like I’m starting all over again these days lol.

The depressing fact this is already in their calculations really suggests fines should be vary based on a percentage of the company’s profits, not a set number for all.

Bingo. Which is why they comfortably hide using the infighting of the two party system. One party has to be willing to accept they’ll be doing most of the work to fix the situation. Up until now, they wanted us believing the task is Sisyphean and impossible, the truth is we can easily catch them with their pants down.

It actually isn’t, but those in charge know our legal system works so slowly. So the companies already know they just have to delay and they’ll only pay a percentage of a fine for swindling patients. And instead of being accused of robbing, their legal team will get charges lowered and the company will just change its name and start over. Until the punishment fits the crime, the rich scams will continue.

Trump is not some genius, he's just an abusive asshole with a megaphone.

As the son of a former abusive asshole myself, there’s truth in it. A large percentage of people will accept abuse for close to a decade, but usually they inevitably snap and try getting away from the abuse. It just requires constant small losses to realize, and you can’t let them rot alone. Otherwise they fall even deeper into a cult-like thinking. Maybe it should be seen a little akin addiction, they need a reminder, there’s a small way to get back to how things were before.

No, that’s to logical. They’ll spin the numbers to mean something positive for the party.

Meanwhile, my long disabled cousin just started receiving SSI after 2 years of them dragging their feet. 2 months in, he now has them again, requesting pension forms, paystubs for work, unemployment compensation forms and life insurance policies. All things he already reported he never had due to his disability. It’s like they’ve suddenly believed things changed in that time window. The whole system seems to be broken, which might be intentional.

No offense, but it’s hard to take anything said seriously when a very vocal group of you are preemptively jumping to a derogatory term.

Referencing what the user you’re responding to is actually going on about. Seen him remark on this at least once before, a few days back and realized when I saw his user name.

His Lemmy server blocks the IMGBB service, it was used in trolling 6 months back. So he’s insinuating all traffic from there, is at risk of being child porn or questionable.

But you could be on something, perhaps he somehow avoided the brilliance that was, King of the Hill.

Bingo. Sure, there were Redditors using IMGBB to post porn on Lemmy, but completely writing off the image server over the actions of bad apples is overkill.

It’s like fundraising, if you have to ask if they fulfill their promises, you should know it won’t be long before you hear they didn’t. Besides, this sounds like a con from the way they describe it. So yeah, that’s gonna be a no from me, dawg.

Thanks for the link

Interested to hear more about SohCahToa, my only terrible subject was Math, or more specifically, Algebra.

Sorry to hear, but an interesting thought experiment. At my age, there’s no reason not to give it a shot. I’ll name him, Gwen. 😂👍

Yes, imagine a self-critical version of yourself voicing its opinions on your failures.

This is actually pretty genius, are there any downsides?

I haven’t given mine a name… the strangest part is it used to help out.

Some people just need a reason to hate and avoid any personal accountability. They’ll take anything they can get, they’ve had a shitty day/year/life and somehow beating up on a faceless stranger feels morally acceptable to them. The truth is, they are in fact just awful people, looking to justify their shitty behavior by correcting grammar or downvoting a complete stranger. Trying their damndest to avoid looking in the mirror. Whilst the rest of us humans, have a shitty day but roll with it. Because if you can’t let it roll off, you will never be happy.

So, public espionage, no one sane should accept this behavior for something they paid for.

Went to catholic school myself and had a similar argument with the ex-priest teacher in our religion class.

The slight difference is, it got me signed up for the debate team lol.

The only person throwing shade, is you. Unless mistaken, he’s referring to the American school systems, “No Child Left Behind”, policy. There was no personal reference to the poster he responded to. As for remarks on his grammar, perhaps check your own spelling before you throw stones.
