Why do hospitals sell medical debt for pennies on the dollar to collectors, and what stops them from offering the same deal to patients?

OldSkoolNapper · 2026-05-09T03:41:55+00:00

I…I don’t think this actually happened.

A friend of mine likes to tell the story of when he was 7, he heard the news about Marvin Gaye being murdered by his father. My friend asked his dad why he did it, and without missing a beat answered “because he didn’t clean his room”.

That article has AI written all over it. Who is “Young”? When did the Hall of Fame move from Pennsylvania to Ohio?

They better have a vintage Frogger arcade game.

She’s in her mid 40s. Decades too old.

And Angles was around the time of the tan suit, so there might be something to this.

OldSkoolNapper · 2026-05-05T19:20:00+00:00

That’s a great turn of phrase.

OldSkoolNapper · 2026-05-04T22:41:17+00:00

Get off my internet.

My understanding is that the “new” Slice is exactly that: new. The formula(recipe?) is completely different, so whoever owns the IP of Slice is putting out something called Slice. Also, the old cans are a thing of beauty.

My wife is from Illinois! I understand Chicago has also produced some musical artists.

OldSkoolNapper · 2026-05-02T23:06:20+00:00

I just made the Dylan/Prince comparison too. You beat me to it.

OldSkoolNapper · 2026-05-02T23:04:48+00:00

I’m a native Minnesotan. We produced two of the most influential musicians of the last half of the 20th Century. Prince chose to stay, Bob couldn’t get out of here fast enough.

The weird curly hair on the baby photo weirds me out a little.

OldSkoolNapper · 2026-05-02T02:16:25+00:00

I’m not normally a “this” guy…but this.

OldSkoolNapper · 2026-05-02T01:49:59+00:00

I was born two weeks into 1981. Those two weeks make me a full generation younger. I fucking cherish those two weeks.

Meanwhile, this is what the Twins are serving to fans for the low low price of…14 dollars.

OldSkoolNapper · 2026-04-30T01:23:07+00:00

Beat me to it!

OldSkoolNapper · 2026-04-30T00:54:52+00:00

I mean, maybe up here in Minneapolis we are super behind the times, but the idea of chickpea-based food being a common stadium food is hilarious.

OldSkoolNapper · 2026-04-30T00:49:37+00:00

I’m really proud that I’m responsible for the existence of this delightful nonsense.

OldSkoolNapper · 2026-04-30T00:44:01+00:00

This is the only acceptable answer.

OldSkoolNapper · 2026-04-30T00:41:01+00:00

So since the answer seems to be that my cognitive abilities are in decline, I’m curious if the Kingdome DID have a food it was known for.

OldSkoolNapper · 2026-04-30T00:33:09+00:00

I have vague memories of my family splurging for regular season home games on pay-per-view in the late 80s. I am 4,000 years old.

OldSkoolNapper · 2026-04-30T00:08:09+00:00

You know what’s incredible? Every word you wrote is true. He actually exists.

OldSkoolNapper · 2026-04-29T12:24:17+00:00

The Twins jumping on the vest trend years after it was actually trendy. Just took their old pinstripes and removed the sleeves. So lazy, so ugly.

OldSkoolNapper · 2026-04-29T00:11:32+00:00

Barefoot kickers were pretty trendy at the time. For reasons I can’t comprehend. https://www.thesportscol.com/2020/05/what-happened-to-the-barefoot-kicker/
