How many Palestinian people do you think you're helping by laying back and inviting the GOP to crush you under foot? Self flagellation didn't cure The Plague, and it won't fix this situation either.

If you don't like the idea of voting for Harris, I doubt I'll be able to change your mind, but consider this: 468 congressional seats out of a total 535 are up for re-election THIS NOVEMBER. You want to make the government start actually representing the will of the people? Start there.

The doctor scraped out a bit of earwax to have a better look inside.

I was sent a bill for $200 PER EAR for this 5 second procedure which I did not give permission for them to do.

That was key- they did not ASK me if they could do this "procedure". And, as I OWN a medical practice (it's me. The medical practice is me, sitting in my house on video calls) I knew to call them when this bill came in to be like "You did not obtain informed consent for this procedure, and it was not en emergency procedure. You had full ability to gain my consent and didn't. I'm not paying."

And the massive hospital who owned the bill said "yuh-huh you do have to pay."

And I said "I own a practice. I know these laws. I do not owe you money for this."

And they conducted an "internal review" and SURPRISE! Decided I totally owed them money and they had never done anything wrong ever.

And so I called my state's Attorney General office, and explained the situation because, as I mentioned, I know the law. The AG got in touch within a couple days to say they were taking the case and would send the massive hospital conglomerate a knock it off, guys letter.

Lo and Behold, today I have a letter where said hospital graciously has agreed to forfeit the payment.

"How not to get screwed over by companies" should be part of civics class.

Know your rights and know who to call when they're infringed on. This whole process cost me $0 and honestly less effort than I would have expected.

Trump is a fascist. That is not hyperbole. Trump is a fascist whose entire platform and goal is to destroy what limited democracy the USA has. The land of the "free" should not mean "free from consequences for being a literal criminal if you're a fascist billionaire." Trump belongs in jail. That's a far damning reality than "Biden should retire."

It's not a difficult choice. It's not. This isn't ignoring Biden's flaws it's simply acknowledging the vast gulf between "mediocre" and "horrifying nightmare of fascism." If you find it difficult then I wonder what priorities you have.

If voter apathy, indecision, or low turn out returns Trump to the Whitehouse then America is well and truly fucked beyond belief.

It's the default that any option Americans have is bad when it comes to war. There isn't an idealistic third option where you choose someone who isn't going to go do war crimes. It's not a protest at the ballot box to simply not vote because that doesn't inconvenience the establishment in any way. The system already doesn't want you to vote.

Given that getting a war criminal in office is not changing either way, think about what IS the difference between "old man who believes climate change is real" and "old man who is a literal fascist."

One of these options will hurt you personally a lot more.

this does not. they're playing world of tanks which is like the "call of duty" of tank games (casual, players only slightly bad-smelling). it also doesn't have support for tank peripherals. no game does. no trainers do afaik. which means that (assuming this isn't just a video editing) all of that shit they are fucking with translates into mouse/keyboard inputs that the game understands. that's weird/hard and perplexing, uh, and considering that "tank peripherals" aren't a thing that exist i can only guess they built them theirselves

this is emmett and cullen they are best friends
