Fuck. Don’t give corporate America ideas. It’ll be the next shit spun through this travesty of a Supreme Court.

I purchased Going Postal in an airport. I ended up laughing out loud on a plane.

Potentially good idea for an Alice in Wonderland themed kids room.

For just any room, not so much.

Sometimes it’s shifting gears. Clutch leg can get annoyed in heavy traffic. So, foot off the clutch, out of gear at a light for a little sigh of relief. Probably takes an extra second or 3 to get going. No phone involved.

I’m guessing the nurse community probably has some outlandish stories to tell here.

Nothing breaks, things haven’t grown and developed yet. Like those pudgy, pudding-like non-dexterous hands, the pudding of their brains has to grow and develop too.

If you want to go all basic Piaget on it, rudimentary reasoning starts between ages 3-4y. This is why when a grown man punches a wall he is often likened to a toddler. This is also why some adults go to therapy, to grow and develop stunted coping skills.

For now, they’ll scream, cry, gesticulate wildly, and test the aerodynamic properties of their toys, until they grow into some reasoning capabilities. Developing strength and dexterity isn’t just about physical development.

The choices are ending what’s left of democracy and not. That’s it.

Also, high odds you’re voting for Kamala, not Joe.

Settlement management can get tedious and be a large time sink. Sim settlements 2 is actually not bad. You can off the most annoying ones on “mayors” to control. Show up later and add things if needed.

We’re a larger melting pot. In fact, that’s kind of our schtick. In spite of the racial shit, it swings entirely the other way as well. It’s a big country. England doesn’t cover a lot of surface area. 68million vs 341.5million.

Regionally there’s dialect nuance based on immigration. We’re a country of immigrants. If we’re discussing Poland then let’s talk Wisconsin. You can’t throw a stick in any direction without hitting a “ski” last name. People actually say shit like “borrow me your car Friday” or “borrow me a pencil”, instead of “lend”. My understanding is borrow and lend are the same word in Polish, context telling you what you need to know. All without identifying as Polish, just Midwest American, as far as I can tell. Even though we’re younger as a country, we’ve had time for that to happen.

Waterproof Bluetooth speaker.

Really? No only did someone invent this, someone fronted the cash to put it into production.

Is this going to be the Dad Guardian zone now instead of the thermostat setting?

Dammit, no. It needs to be a live squirrel not a knick knack.

I’m so disappointed.

And there’s no link to tap to figure out those logistics.

Ballot initiatives are Democracy. That’s about as good as it gets for us. It’s bullshit that they are not accessible in every state.

The lack thereof makes the state legislature into a variation of an autocrat.

That’s not scary as fuck.

Theres a strangely loyal following around the man. But let’s say he has an aneurysm and drops dead after taking office on these terms. Now what structure is the next unknown candidate moving into? Who is moving into it? It could be Bernie Sanders 2.0, which sort of defeats the purpose assuming this is all about Trump himself, that all of this is even happening simply because Trump is involved.

It’s like everyone is forgetting how fucking old Trump is. He’s old, fraying at the edges like he has Dementia (in and of itself, not in a degrees comparison to anyone else), and doesn’t appear healthy. I say this as someone who has spent decades in health care.

So they want to rebuild this infrastructure for him while dismantling base functioning of the country. The man isn’t immortal and he sure as fuck isn’t healthy. And no VP he chooses will ever have the chops to be anything, especially President, because it’s too much competition for his base hubris.

So they pave the way for dictator. The chosen dictator dies of old age and bad health. Now what?

What’s the punchline? Who is this for? It’s bizarre to think there really is no long game here, that it’s happening in the name of that one guy, but that appears to be what this is functioning on. It really is all falling apart, isn’t it?

I’d totally put that in my garden in lieu of a scarecrow.

That’s the other fun part. Hospital bill is separate from doctor bill. And often, lab/histology bill.

Those are 1990s numbers (yes, really). Now, add a zero and some change.

The reality is this varies highly not just by individual doctor but by doctor group.

And whether or not they’re willing to consult a specialist while you’re in a hospital.

Spoiler: they lose money if they do this because only so much is available to be paid out for each patient. Second spoiler: sometimes seeing a specialist while hospitalized means getting transferred 100+ miles away to another hospital because that hospital doesn’t have any of that specialist available. Third spoiler: Level 1 hospitals are few and far between (they have everything).

Exactly.

This is terrifying for married women. Conceiving a child in marriage is very dangerous in these states.

This fringe group that wants to target “sin” is really just targeting any woman with a functional uterus who is still firing eggs from her ovaries.
