I don't think people would take on more debt after being freed from current debt. Usually, the debt that is the most crushing is student, medical, mortgage debt-- it's unlikely people just go on to sign themselves up for more of t

This can happen even with small numbers of managers. It only takes one territorial or poorly-communicating asshole to fracture a broader organizer. If anything, a small number of managers exaggerates the damage that one bad manager can do.

I think Hollywood is doing great. I also think Football players are doing pretty well for themselves. Maybe tech can work like that instead?

I'm really confused by this post because we don't have good solutions to degrading plastic that I'm aware of?

No, that's not the case for many insurance companies. My insurance company only qualified surgery if you had a qualifying health condition. If you were just obese you didn't qualify.

No. I was literally charged full price just for consulting with my family doctor about my weight. The doctor at the time referred me to a nutritionist; the nutritionist coverage was further denied because I had no qualifying health conditio

I don't think there's a fat-hate "movement" tbh. I think it's always been popular to make fun of fat people. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone had a fat child be described as neglected, spoiled, and a bu

Doesn't matter. I asked how significantly overweight I had to be to have access and the insurance company told me there's no weight-- it's purely obesity related health condition only. Theoretically also I could be 10 lbs ove

When I was fat, my insurance wouldn't cover any weight loss procedure (including just visiting my primary physician to discuss my options for weight loss-- a lovely $250 surprise) because I had no obesity-related health problems (heart

What do you mean? I've bought sola bread in the past and it... functioned exactly as bread in a sandwich. I just preferred larger sourdough slices so I stopped but it functioned the exact same as bread.

do you have a recommended lettuce variety? Most of them crumble away before I can use them.

I'm baffled by the notion of 500 cals just in bread. I make sandwiches at home with large sourdough slices, and that's 180 cal for the bread. [The meat is 90 cal, the cheese is 100 cal.] This is a hearty sandwich and I have no sat

I'm actually curious about this: if that's true, why do hospitals still do low-salt diets for critical heart disease patients?

I think you're misunderstanding the realistic state of child influencers. These children have no guarantee of access to any money they "earn", and also the chance of earning that much is quite low. Just like most influencers,

I'm literally currently existing in such an immigrant town. We do not have open borders. We have poorly and inconsistently enforced border patrols, which is completely different. I'm not saying there isn't a problem, I'm

We do not have de-facto open borders, and this is a huge exaggeration. Immigrants are turned away all the time for all manner of arbitrary reasons. Just because there are large numbers of undocumented people in the country doesn't mean
