I disagree. A higher turnover rate means paying the new guy less money. You’ll see this more often when they want to annoy people into quitting so they don’t need to pay unemployment.

They’re using the psychology correctly. It’s just awful for people as a whole. But it can temporarily make their books look good (high sales, low expenses) and justify bigger bonuses for the board.

Ahhh gotcha. We’re basically saying the same thing

I’m not sure what you mean by underwriting it and declining coverage anyway. But you’re correct, it is challenging to get somebody approved for taking medication relating to anxiety/depression. If they have a history of being hospitalized, they will not approve the underwriting.

It’s surprising that your wife got declined for being 10 lbs under weight. If that was truly the only problem, I’d be able to get that approved through just about anybody. Which company did you use?

Corporate person only when convenient.

DOJ wants people to realize just how large Google is. Google doesn’t want people to realize how big they are.

Typically the limit is 2 years.

Wouldn’t affect the payout, but it would increase your premium.

Typically no. Life insurance companies don’t like anything regarding mental illnesses. Largely because it’s under researched, so they just say “no thanks.”

Heh my bad. Thanks

It’s true. All new inventions have a morality issue to them. And those moralities need to be weighed heavily before implementing them.

But it can also be used to guide a secluded operative back to his troop. It can be used to detect road mines that otherwise would have exploded.

New technology is just a tool. It’s the people choosing how to use it that makes it moral/immoral.

I could see some cool military applications for this too.

If they wanted to protect kids they’d have a long list of better options.

Gun control Better funding for education Mental health services Improvements to adoption/foster care systems

The list goes on. We’ve been shown the government only cares about kids until they’re born. So until those things are fixed, I’m going to assume it’s not really about the kids, and more about stripping our rights away.

I’m sure this is an important article and all, but good god that title is confusing.

Why are we always making titles like Yoda is saying it?

I’m a fan of associated press personally. They seem to do a decent job at sticking to the facts and not telling you what to think.

Not tedious. Dangerous. It’s part of the same gaslighting psychology that cults use to get their members to do heinous acts.

Find the middle ground you agree on, then focus/build on that. Paint yourself as “on their side,” not their enemy.

But most people don’t care to change their mind. They care to see if you agree and expect you to change yours to match. So battling for the purpose of battling only leaves everyone exhausted.

Don’t forget who raised you to hate conflict in the first place.

TikTok has a ton of videos where people screenshot other text posts and just put sound over it. My guess is it’s to replace those
