How am I being hostile? I was just making a point about people being a fan of teams vs players. Your comment is assuming a ton of things I didn't say

Did they really breed them to fight? I thought it was part of the Nazis "Aryan" heritage bullshit.

My favorite part about professional sports is how people are assigned a corporation at birth to be fans of. You're born in Kansas, you are expected root for Kansas City Chiefs incorporated.

Enjoy what you want, I don't care. I just think being a long term fan of a team is weird loyalty to a corporate entity.

Yellow mustard and onion. Anything else is revisionism

My partner heard this squirrel screeching and then it spent the day hanging around my porch. It didn't seem injured, but it did seem scared. It spent most of the time pressed really flat on the step like it was hiding. I tossed a couple peanuts out the window and it ate them and left at some point.

Hope it's ok.

Propublica had an article about insurance company denials. Cigna denied 300,000 claims in 2 month, with doctors spending an average of 1.2 seconds on each case.

They try to say this system is about preventing waste, but it's purpose is making it too hard to get health care, so you'll give up or die before they have to pay.

Woke up this morning

Go woke, go spooky

I got the disability discharge since they made it easier to do. Now I'm just hoping the US bureaucracy is inept enough to not figure out they're about to kick me off disability and reverse it.

I'm not going to pay it anyway, though

I wore a T-shirt in middle school that said "Big Richard" and at the bottom it said, "but my friends call me Dick".

I cringe every time I think about it. This man is 50 and proudly posting this shit

PSA: Don't ever buy a 3rd party car warranty. They're straight up scams.

First, they don't cover the cost of diagnostics, and frequently require more diagnostic work than normally necessary before considering claims. Second, repairs take much longer because of approval delays and third party assessments. Third, they will haggle over everything, including the cost of parts and can force you to accept low quality and even used parts. Lastly, they will find any excuse to deny claims and your only recourse is to sue.

The only car warranty that actually does what it says is a manufacturers warranty from the manufacturer of your car(dealers will try to scam you by selling you a warranty from the finance arm of a different manufacturer). Even then it rarely makes financial sense to buy the warranty extension, but at least they will pay out if you need repairs.

Home warranties are basically the same deal, but are even worse in some ways because you must use the contractors they have agreements with.

They don't like that we get to vote for one of two representatives of the ruling class

There's also a version of this where you divert water at a regular hydro plant into a storage canal. It still uses pumps, but it doesn't need a separate turbine and a mountain.
