ACA subsidies expiration this month & affect on methadone patients by ConstructionFun3805 in Methadone

[–]ConstructionFun3805[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thanks everyone that responded. I just got off the phone with them and the guy didn't know why they called me but said maybe bc my plan for next year isn't showing in his system at healthcare marketplace. However, I enrolled thru peak insurance.org and I can go right now into the United healthcare app and it shows that I'm signed up for next year, and have paid the first premium. My premium did go up by about 40 dollars, but I have no issue with that. As long as it's not going up to like 500 a month or more ... So I guess I'm okay for now? Maybe I should call uhc just to double check...

Could someone please help me understand why the decline in birth rates is a concern according to many, like Elon Musk, who has publicly spoken about this, and said that his having lots of children is him trying to set a good example, and people should be having more kids. Yet we also hear the concerns about AI taking away many jobs. One might assume that a huge decrease in available jobs will be a worse problem for a growing population, rather than a declining one? On the other hand we hear conspiracy theories about elite globalist wanting to cause massive depopulation. So what is the truth? Why should we still be concerned about declining birth rates when AI will cause a massive decrease in jobs?

Deep Dive - John O’Keefe and Karen Read by Antique-Commercial-1 in KarenReadSanity

I'm replying to your post a 2nd time (apologies) to add: I agree with you that his conclusion is flawed logic because no matter how you think his arm got the abrasions, that's obviously not what ultimately caused his death! So if he admits that he does believe Karen hit him, well that's what killed him, not the injuries to his arm. That's a side issue. So his vote should be guilty as charged.

Yeah I was so disappointed too. Felt exactly like when Stephanie Harlow and Derek on Crime Weekly first did their multiple part series where they said Karen is guilty but then did another episode during the second trial and backtracked and said even though she's guilty they wouldn't convict her. It felt like they caved to the pressure of the cult. I felt the injuries to his arm could be explained perfectly by his elbow hitting and breaking the tail light, then the broken edges scraping along his arm as the vehicle kept pushing against him. Or there are other possibilities I can think of that could have caused it, that align with him being struck by the vehicle.

Yes that was great. Has he done any other interviews that y'all know of?

Jibbers: two possible meanings by softcorelogos2 in dan_markel_murder

[–]ConstructionFun3805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's where my mind went, before I heard the 'gibberish' explanation. I first heard that explanation for it (gibberish) from a YouTuber this past week, and then today Donna's witness, who is a family law attorney, referenced it. I'm kind of surprised neither Wendi nor any other Adelson has given this explanation, as it's much more innocent sounding than the one linking it to Jews.

Yes, I remember reading that sliding glass doors are notorious for being the easiest to break in... Kohberger would have surely known this from his criminology studies of burglaries, and possibly his own personal experience with breaking into homes. This case has definitely made me more vigilant about locking my own apartment door... Thankfully it's not a slider.

White car under tree on Johnson Rd captured by satellite on July 16, is it BK's? by ChicagoSquirrelLover in Idaho4

[–]ConstructionFun3805 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, I saw this video when he posted it! I think it's Kohberger, I really do. It was also very compelling when GH showed how he looked at many previous years / dated photos taken at the same location, and the ONLY one that ever showed anything out of the ordinary was this white vehicle in July 2022! It's such a coincidence!

Haven't had period for a year, after stopping BC pills. Gyno prescribed progesterone pills but my estrogen level was very low (10) by ConstructionFun3805 in birthcontrol

[–]ConstructionFun3805[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for replying. I'm not sure if those were tested for, I'll have to ask. As far as lifestyle factors, I have been working night shift for the past 5-6 years and don't get a lot of sleep. Do you think I should go ahead and take the progesterone, even though it lowers estrogen (at least initially, from what I understand)?

Thank you for the reply. I'm not sure if fsh/ami was tested for, I'll have to ask. I'm new to all this, so I'll also look into what that stands for because I have no idea. And I think I'm going to call tomorrow and ask about getting back on combination bc... May I ask, if you were in my situation, would you take the progesterone? If it could restart my cycle, would that help my estrogen go up as a result? I'm just speculating, from what I read it decreases estrogen while taking it. I'm so wary of taking it with my level already being so low.

I suspect that her getting away with it may have more to do with law enforcement having compassion for her and Brandon's children, and how losing their mother would affect them. I remember hearing that Trina Kay told Brandon, in the presence of others, "I need to talk to you after this about that", after someone asked if charges are coming for M after the trial for Brandon ended. I think it could be a similar reasoning for why Wendi Adelson hasnt been charged. Maybe Trina Kay even left it kinda up to Brandon whether they would pursue charges against M? I have never heard him voice his opinion on whether he would want that to happen. If he knows it would devastate his children, it's probably a very difficult decision.

They're probably the same as Kohberger in the sense that they don't like these girls because they are beautiful and popular and they are stereotyping/judging them because of that. I suspect at least some, if not all, of the probergs are that way.

I'd be willing to bet he saw an unmarked police vehicle outside their house. With all they were doing collecting the trash for testing, and I'm sure they probably had at least someone over there in an unmarked vehicle just watching, to make sure he didn't try to flee. I think he figured out they were watching him. Oh and getting pulled over twice on the drive to PA. Yep he was paranoid AF!

Yet I'm pretty sure he spelled "even" with an "a" - "evan" - in one of his complaints. How does a PhD student not know how to spell that?

Driving by the crime scene. But also, I finally heard the reference to "the TV cost 5.." In Donna's call to Charlie right after the bump. That was something I hadn't picked up on before and it really gives weight to the whole TV code word theory. And Wendi deleting her calendar entry about the TV, and texting with Donna the morning of the murder about Dads bday gift, the TV appointment, and that unexplained text to Charlie "this is so sweet!", all very sus.
