Well, I suppose if they could appeal to anyone to enter the states right now, it would be people who ‘enjoy’ big risk gambling…

It has always meant their “facts” which are actually “gut feelings” over our “feelings” which are actually “well-researched undeniable facts”.

Stuff like that is available to buy at places like bulk barn. You can buy by weight or volume there.

Hmm, the morph tool gives you those points so you can pick which old areas you want to morph into which new areas. So the morph can make more sense and not look dumb.

I used to, I am Austistic, so my mind does tend to wander.

I don’t know if I ever technically had actual insomnia, but I can very much forget that I should be sleeping. And before I learned about alarm fatigue and cleaned up my alarms to a degree that my brain wouldn’t reject, I would often end up staying up way past my sleep alarm going off.

But now I have a reasonably minimum amount of alarms only, and I am properly able to obey them without any resistance. When I get in bed, I start up my sleep music, specifically crafted to start at high energy and methodically wind down. By the end of the music I will have fallen asleep. They are all songs I have heard thousands of times, so it won’t trigger fomo and keep me awake to hear the rest or anything.

I do not touch my phone again until I wake up in the morning, I don’t have a morning alarm, as I don’t need to be awake at any specific time, so I “sleep until full health” like a videogame character, except honestly I think it works to a degree in real life too. I’m never sick, and my injuries heal faster than other people’s. My mind and body just have enough time to get done what they want to get done while everything is shut down.

I’m over 40 now, but still feel like a teenager.

So, an “AI Centipede” type situation.

Is it the sunbeam that drew the line, or the shadow? Like yeah, the light is technically the thing that was added, but the shadow is what created the pattern.

Does the ink draw the picture or the mask?

It is still hard to believe, but yes, he has been president twice now, the first time was indeed during 2019. It is also sometimes hard to believe 2019 was long enough ago that there have been multiple president changes since then.

But if you’ll recall, Trump was president when Covid 19 started. He ignored and then downplayed it for so long that he is largely responsible for a huge portion of the americans it killed. And due to how out of control it got, and to a degree still is, especially lately since it is back on the rise now, potentially also responsible for a decent portion of the non-americans it has killed too. He shares that with a lot of other terrible leaders though.

Yeah, doesn’t quite roll off the tongue. And would clearly be the second pun they would think of. So I have to assume the first choice was already taken.

That makes more sense.

Oh, as far as I could tell they were part of the same company, the health was an umbrella with the wealth one under it.

I don’t know if you have to think that way because you want to feel better about something you do or if you have been taught it by someone… You are looking at something 2-dimensionally and assuming you have the full idea of it. By constraining yourself to only the simple concept of it and not what it all touches on, you are deluding yourself to the full effect it has.

What case are you referring to? The initial comment was on how the stock market transfers wealth from poor people to rich people over time. There was no individual referred case.

While new wealth is also theoretically created, that doesn’t change the fact that it is also coming from people that don’t do well on the stock market, which is the vast majority numerically. It very much is just gambling for them, against the “house”.

Ok, I gotta ask… was “Demon Eyes” [Demonize] already taken?

Also, it looks like “old mutual health” was recently re-branded to “ReAssure” in the UK, so that would be who to look up for what type of insurance they would provide. It does sound like they were life insurance, or “life assurance” as they called it. Sounds very much like disability insurance would be under their umbrella.

The fact that their mind even goes to " it was deliberate long-term planning on my opponent’s part to make me look bad" suggests that is shit they do… instead of ‘governing in the best interest of the people they represent’ which is what their job is supposed to be, and what their opponents actually do.

Isn’t it that he was the surgeon? So he billed the insurance for himself and paid himself the money. Instead of the money going to the hospital and some portion of it going towards his paycheck, but most of it going towards the cost of running and supplying a hospital with all the tech and tools they need to stay current and have competitive success rates.

Or did he just claim disability or something by way of accident instead of by choice, to get a higher disability insurance pay out?

Either way, fraud is basically any time you lie to get money, criminal fraud is when you lie to get enough money that the police care. And it certainly seems like he lied to get more money than he was entitled.

“The computer did that auto-layoff thing to everybody!”

But, once the valuation is realized… then it has done all the things I said. So yes, if you only ever buy stocks and never sell them, you have never gained money that came from somewhere else… but you also haven’t become rich then.

Just cuz they don’t have a new offense name yet for the fratzonic fake super loud exhaust replicator system, doesn’t mean people shouldn’t get in trouble for doing the same dumb stuff they would with a “real” loud exhaust system.
