Dress decently and bring a book or some other way to entertain yourself, you should mostly expect being bored. Most cases plea out so they wind up not needing most people they call in, so you might not even make it to the selection process.
And the people that run those companies, should they kill people depending on their company for healthcare if it makes them money?
Where do you think they got the $10 million/year to pay this man? Who do you think instituted a policy to use AI for approvals/denials, which resulted in a 90% false rejection rate? What’s crazy is acting like the murder of thousands of people through denial of medical care for money, if done from a sufficient distance, is somehow less abhorrent than doing it up close and with a gun.
Expecting people who have either been directly impacted or had family medical care impacted by the policies of this man to show sympathy for him isn’t just unrealistic, it’s deranged. Considering United is one of the largest insurance companies in the US, that’s a lot of fucking people who are at best apathetic about the whole situation.
Obligatory ‘I suspect some people who can’t read might reply to this’ disclaimer: obviously you shouldn’t murder people. Including if you’re a healthcare CEO and it’s done by setting policies to squeeze the maximum profit out of people before they die.
If he had killed him it wouldn’t have been a children’s movie, lol
The children of today have no idea what it was like to go into a McDonald’s and see used ashtrays on the tables. And good for them. But holy shit, how did anyone ever have an appetite?
A large portion of my TL on Bluesky is people fundraising for specific Palestinian families. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ You see what you follow
Possibly having my ID documents reverted to the wrong gender at the federal level, losing access to HRT, my marriage being dissolved by the federal government, being excluded from public life… Just normal trans stuff 😔👍
If you don’t already have an audience you should try to establish one before doing commissions. Furries generally don’t want a Walmart that just has whatever commission is cheapest, they want to commission an artist that has a style that speaks to them and they enjoy.
You don’t necessarily need to have your own fursona or do porn, but both help.
If you can crank out high quality drawings you can earn a fair amount. The fewer people are willing to draw it (weird porn) or the higher quality* the art is, the more you can charge.
Whether or not you can live on it is something you’d just have to sit down and do the math on. With rent/taxes/expenses/savings, how much do you need to charge per page or per hour of work? If you’re doing it as anything other than a side hustle DO NOT skip this step, or you will be working below minimum wage.
* subjective, but you probably have an idea of what a potential client would mean by that
Edit: realizing I assumed this was asking for advice on how to be profitable with drawing furry stuff and not a general inquiry, lol. It can be profitable, but you have to be good at self marketing and not be shy about charging an appropriately high rate for your art.
My husband finally bit the bullet and upgraded his computer. I’m planning to upgrade my phone before the year is out, because mine is 6 years old and probably not getting security updates for another 4 years.
Not that these things didn’t need to happen, but having it forced on us last minute has sucked.
Check your local community colleges, you might be able to audit Spanish classes for a small fee. IIRC this means you won’t do tests, but learning from someone who actually speaks the language you’re interested in is a huge advantage.
Duolingo is okay, IME many other language learning apps don’t distinguish between Latin American Spanish and Spain Spanish. But as others said, there’s a LOT of regional variation even within Latin America. So even if you’re able to comprehend and speak it well you may still run into a lot of “wtf do you mean” when trying to talk to people, lol. Like learning British English and trying to understand wtf a Texan is saying: not impossible, just with a very different usage of vocab.
That’s not necessarily going to happen to Windows 10 the day support ends, but do you really want to gamble on when it will?
Wow, and I thought the guys that broke into and pissed all in the halls of our high school were going wild.
There are very clearly some people that are accelerationist. I guess it’s possible they think they won’t have to fight, which makes being an accelerationist even shittier.
Also, if it’s wasn’t about you then it wasn’t about you.
If anything that makes it more important. We already know how essentially all the Democrats are going to vote. A couple of Republican defections is all it takes to hold the Senate.
The key here is they don’t have to defect on everything. Turning every Republican senator into a never Trumper isn’t happening. But making some of them defect some of the time is a lot more feasible, and requires constant pressure.
God, the doomerism in the comments here fucking sucks. If you won’t even pick up a phone why am I expected to believe you’ll be the hardest antifa soldier there ever was when the revolution comes (which, conveniently, is never)?
This is more embarrassing than those people who spend real life money prepping for a zombie apocalypse. At least those people have things that might actually be useful in a real disaster.
But in a centaur, the human torso is placed where the horse neck would be. If it was the torso that was replaced they would look more like satyrs.
while having only little environmental impact
If they’re properly maintained… fucking PG&E!
I think admins should do whatever is necessary to comply with their local laws, and that’s all I’ve got to say about that.
