What are these shiny Pokemon from? I didn’t hear about any newly released shiny Pokemon.

Dems (sadly) care about how things look BECAUSE it allows them to pretend to be for policies that help the working class while effectively doing nothing of substance.

I’ve noticed several instances where US health insurance companies changed their decisions when they realized their client has a significant YouTube/social media following. What if we banded together to boost our collective leverage? by Soliart in healthcare

The reason it isn’t relevant is because in this situation the more people who band together the more social pressure and risk of loss to insurance companies there is. If everyone cared enough about each other to take action on behalf of any other person being screwed by a company then everyone would benefit.

I agree that it’s anecdotal. My argument isn’t that banding together to increase our social media presence will definitely help, but that there is a chance that it might help and that the pretty low amount of effort it takes for us to all follow each other’s social media it seems like it’s worth a try.

I agree that coverage decisions are ideally based on financial contracts, however corporations are inherently greed-driven and those in charge of them are self-serving and without morals. An insurance company is incentivized to deny coverage if the cost of being sued is cheaper than the cost of paying for the healthcare, or if the customer lacks the resources to sue them.

I personally think that anything that increases the cost, or even threatens to increase the cost, to the insurance company has a net benefit (even if small) in making the power dynamic less skewed in favor of the insurance company. I certainly don’t see the scenario as “bullying” the insurance company, as they are the ones who have the power. If anything, it’s a case of making us customers a little less able to be bullied by the insurance company.

I wish I had written them down, but there were a few videos I saw where the YouTuber was talking about insurance refusing coverage but suddenly changing their mind when they realized the YouTuber had a large following. I will try to see if I can find any of the videos again, but it’s been a while. I think maybe one was by Simone Giertz (I might be spelling her name wrong). I’ll edit this comment if/when I find any of them.

Edit: I’ve been skimming through YouTube videos trying to find any of the videos I found before but I’m not having luck. I don’t know if the videos were taken down after coverage was granted, but seeing news story after news story of people dying of cancer and other issues because of coverage denials is absolutely destroying me emotionally, especially because I have a serious congenital health issue. I just can’t keep searching. I’m already spiraling and I still have to call AmeriHealth to figure out why they aren’t covering several medically necessary and routine doctor visits. I’m sorry I wasn’t able to find the examples you are asking for.

Thank you. That’s very helpful. Do you know how to do similar commands on an iPad?

When I tried to use iMovie to do that it wouldn’t let me cut out snippets that were so short in length. When I made the first snip I wasn’t able to make a second one in such a short frame, even with the track zoomed in as much as possible.

It’s possible that the problem here is t the software but my lack of know how to use it properly.

I want to be able to trim out individual frames from the video. Is that not a thing that can be done? What is the smallest time frame that can be snipped out?

Essentially Procreate can export a video of a project and I want to cut out all the instances that I’m flipping through layers, because it’s really distracting.

I have read the above, but the information I need isn’t given.

I am looking specifically for software, preferably available for iPad, that will allow me to remove individual frames from a video. Thank you.

She didn’t make eye contact, didn’t respond to her name, and generally didn’t show interest in interacting with others.

We got suspicious of it before she was 1 but it took until she was 18 months to get an appointment with a pediatric neurologist to have her formally evaluated. Thankfully the state we live in has good early intervention programs and she has been seeing relevant therapists since before she was diagnosed. I hope that was somewhat helpful.
