The premium increases stem in part from rising healthcare costs, including higher prices for medical care and expensive prescription drugs.

Oooh so close.

Let's peel the onion back on why the prices are so high, hmmmmmm?

Let's get real Socratic about it and figure out how many layers it takes to point out commercial insurance is the fucking problem.

I barely cracked the skin and I'm bawling my eyes out already. Literally, and figuratively, and metaphorically.

No, they hope to pioneer and corner the market for Neurons as-a-Service.

I wish them the best of luck. Self-hosting your own neurons is getting to be incredibly taxing.

I got some nicotine pouches that was supposed to come in from Sweden and it's been stuck in customs in Newark for over a month and a half now.

I had since made another order of the same stuff from the same vendor, it came in through a different port, and was delivered 2 days later.

I dunno what's going on in Newark but I suspect it's not going to be "destroyed", at least not in the means they expect.

15 tabs? Those are rookie numbers. Unless you mean "before 8:07 Monday morning".

Half of Americans think it's a pro-USA song.

I think there's an even simpler explanation: people with zero empathy over other people are more likely to fuck kids.

They don't want to replace teachers.

They want to replace mandatory reporters.

I said I'd drive my first car until the wheels fell off.

Well, one day it actually did, coming around a bend on a highway. Fortunately there weren't many other people driving out at the time. I ended up flipping it over on the embankment, single-car collision.

I stayed true to my word. Never fucking said it about another car since.

Mostly the ones Born in the USA.

This dude is 51 years old.

You think he woke up, at 51 and was like "Ya know what? I think I'll try to fuck a fish today".

Nah. This has been going on for years. Probably decades.

I hope the song 99 luftbaloons is included in their training data.

Lowkey hoping that a record-shattering el nino will give us 60F February again here in the northeast. ...dyed diesel (home heating oil) is already circling $5.50/gal.

Most homes in the northeast, at least in my experience, are natural gas or oil.

Our electricity is already something like $0.40/kwh...so electric heat without solar is equally absurd.
