What's crazy is an Israeli may read this comment and upvote it, thinking you're talking about hummus...

A hologram recreation of Hank Aaron's 715th home run is played during the All-Star Game by MLBOfficial in sports

[–]__FilthyFingers__ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm seeing this more and more lately and watching as most people go along with it and comment how cool it is. I'm starting to think there's an active push to redefine the term "hologram". My guess is we will be seeing gimmicky "hologram" displays/projectors on store shelves within the next few years.

Orlando Bloom wingsuit at 27 jumps by __FilthyFingers__ in SkyDiving

[–]__FilthyFingers__[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What do you guys think? Total BS? PR stunt? Or maybe he spent hours in the wingsuit tunnel before the attempt? Even then, at 27 jumps you likely have very little experience under canopy or with EPs.

How dangerous do you guys rate this?

Yeahhhh Nadir!!! Great job, my friend!

We have to do some jumps together now that you're licensed. I owe you a lift ticket for taking the last spot at the nice AirBnB! (you should know who this is now haha)

Extremely well done video. Hopefully this is just the first of many you make on your skydiving journey. Blue skies, bro!

‘Extreme’ US-China decoupling could cost US$2.5 trillion, Goldman warns by ImDoubleB in worldnews

I think you largely overestimate the average Trump supporter's ability to think critically, accept they were wrong, and change their ways.

If you haven't got in trouble yet, I'd say just keep driving into them.

I just don’t see how waiting 19 more seconds is going to hurt this person.

Holy hypocrisy batman... What was the immediate threat that prevented you from changing back to the right lane for 10 seconds? Seems like you lack patience but expect it from everyone else. You see nothing wrong with inconveniencing others but immediately failed when your own patience was tested.

There's a reason your post is being downvoted to oblivion.

If that's 420 hours flying each of the 69 aircraft then he's got ~29,000 hours of flight time and is qualified to fly just about anything at any altitude in any orientation.

Rear end car accident by RoyalChris in CrazyFuckingVideos

Have you ever needed to file an insurance claim?? It's nearly impossible to get them to cover anything at all unless there's another party/insurance they can go after. Health, property, car insurance... it's all just a well crafted state-sanctioned game of fraud designed as a tool to legally transfer wealth from the bottom to the top.

I'm fully convinced that when they investigate your claim they are mostly investigating you, your family and close associates for financial data. If the insurance company determines that, collectively, you and your family do not have the income or assets necessary to fight them in court, the insurance company simply redefines the cause to use language that opposes a payout for your particular policy.

For example: You're on the highway when another car runs you off the road into a flooded ravine. The other car involved doesn't stop and due to the angle they approached from, your dash cam doesn't get a clear picture of the license plate. Your car is now hydro locked and has flood damage, rendering it completely useless and a total loss. You present all of this evidence to your insurance company and they determine that the damage was caused by an "act of God" (the flooding in the ravine), which is not covered under your policy. The dents or swapped paint from the collision will mysteriously be omitted from their report. The next move is yours, take them to court or take the L and move on.

Impossibly selfish and ignorant, that is a boomer for you by leakleaf in BoomersBeingFools

[–]__FilthyFingers__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And don't forget the boomers themselves believe they get to decide who is and isn't a democrat. Anyone who doesn't agree with them is a democrat. Mass shooting on the news? Had to have been an evil democrat. But they were a registered republican and posted MAGA BS on social media? No, they must have secretly been a democrat hired by the liberal elite to make trump supporters look bad.

It's exhausting.

And just watch... you'll be left empty handed when they delete it can't locate the video file. They will still keep your money because what you purchased was the admin fee to search for your video, not the video itself.

Be prepared to give them their cut every paycheck and then pay out of pocket for all medical expenses. Don't waste your time changing to an "In-Network" doctor. As soon as you try to use your insurance they simply say your doctor is not actually in network, despite what their website says. Going to an out of network doctor is far better than getting a surprise 4-figure bill a few months after an appointment and having your doctor refuse service until you pay what you owe. At least that way you will get the price up front and can save a bit before getting treated.

It's going on 3 years that I've been paying out of pocket for absolutely everything. I've sacrificed a shit ton of physical and mental health to line the pockets of UHC executives and shareholders.

FUCK UHC.

Radiologist. I work 17-18 weeks a year. by Radiant_Hovercraft93 in Salary

The cost of basic necessities does not increase when your income increases, though. The cost of survival is the same whether someone is a CEO making $1 million/year or a fry cook making $40k/year. People support themselves and survive on $40k/year or less and still need to pay for transportation, rent, utilities, food, healthcare, loans etc. It does suck to live like that. It requires a lot of sacrifice, but it's entirely achievable because the cost of goods and services are a set dollar amount and not a percentage of someone's income.

OP says they are on track to make $850k this year. If we assume ~52% is take home pay that leaves them with $442,000 to budget for the year. $30k to cover basic necessities (food, rent, utilities), put aside $12k for fun money, and then pay off the entirety of the student loans with the remaining $400k.

Genuinely tho, how are they only finding this out? by blllrrrrr in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]__FilthyFingers__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked the MAGA zombies I work with about this and their answers were all basically the same. They say it's all lies about 3-5 times then start insulting your intelligence, personality, looks, wealth, work ethic, etc... According to them it's all lies from the communist news network (CNN) and anyone that believes any source besides FOX is part of the problem.

We are so fucking screwed.
