  • To be fair

    He did get the steam deck made, so that was kinda cool.

    But maybe owning 6 yachts is a little less cool.

    Unless the sub and boats were like research vessels he funds, that would be cool

    But they aren’t.

    Why can’t billionaires dump their money into funding scientific research? It’s not like there aren’t scientists out there with plenty of research to be done.

    Or even maybe wherever he lives, he could like, fund the entire county school districts for the rest of existence and no one would have to worry about taxes.

    Or maybe regularly cancel the medical debt of Valve employees and their families.

    Like how fucking hard is it to redistribute your own wealth?

    Like fucking Christ, that’s the part I don’t understand. They complain about taxes and shit at the top, but they do absolutely fuck all to make things better for large swaths of people. Or if they do, it’s after they die and $200m gets donated to a university and it prevents next year’s tuition from increasing.



  • Something with diphenhydramine or doxylamine? They aren’t great to take for very long at all.

    But if you notice a dependency, I don’t recommend the RX sleep meds I’ve been on for so long. One was effective for a very long time (15 years? Lunesta I think) but has gotten weaker and weaker. I’m terrified of stopping it though, its a nonbenzodiazapine so it binds to the same stuff as benzos. Taking something so long like that is bound to cause problems when I stop.

    I’ve heard therapy helps. But I’m not sure how. Hasn’t done much for me.





  • I’m pretty sure NBC, and ABC news, as well as several articles, have mentioned the similarity to the book title. Plus, deny, defend, depose has a VERY different statement.

    “Deny claims, defend legally, remove from power.” The insurance companies deny the claims, know they can avoid court because the insured can’t possibly afford lawyers when they get buried under medical debt, and the last one has multiple purposes. Remove the power of medical professionals in their care expertise, remove the power of the patient’s voice, and remove the insurance companies and executives from having this power.

    However, I acknowledge that the media shills for the owner class, and I see where the suspicion that they would change the words to fit that agenda is very possible. Unfortunately, without seeing the bullets, we have no way to verify what the actual words are. The only way we get that is from NYPD’s evidence storage which would need a criminal case.

    I think it’s far more than that though. I think a lot of parents would agree with me that Christmas morning and birthdays are probably the most exciting time of the year.

    Debt is debt. It is nothing compared to the joy your child gets. That joy you see in your kid is worth more than most could ever earn anyway.

    And I’ve seen the poorest families happily dip into that debt. They know it doesn’t make things easier.
