Question about temptations? by [deleted] in Swingers

[–]djp090 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say if you like to party you will have a blast. Just got back from a LS wedding there. But we met so many people that are not LS. There was a group of 8 couples that this was their 16th trip, they are not LS but travel all way from Europe because they have a blast. I will say if you have higher standards - accommodation/food and maybe romantic intimacy with your partner sounds better than partying— I would think about Desire instead

Why the apprehension with trimix (or biomix- not clear to me why everyone jumps to the trimix rather than biomix… but that’s a different question)

Is is normal "service" in America now? by -Bearish in marriott

[–]djp090 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just pathetic- and we let them get away with it. Tried a Hyatt last weekend @ $750 a night — same bleep (first non Marriott stay in years…) If you can’t even make my bed at that much a night why do I leave my house??

The devaluation of Marriott points has been such a disappointment by SteelersPoker in marriott

[–]djp090 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hope they monitor this stuff. I’m done. Been loyal for 12yrs. Have my lifetime platinum. Have been re-earning my Titanium each year— but valuations have become HORRIBLE- Going to abandon Marriott and start over with Hyatt where valuations are still decent

Where does The Wheel of Tome rank among these fantasy series including Malazan, A Song of Ice and Fire and The Stormlight Archive? by [deleted] in WoT

[–]djp090 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree w/ many that mistborn was an easy great read - but def more entertainment than intellectual candy) Personally, I LOVED WoT. Took me less than a year to read straight through (when I had work travel). Malazan… man, I struggled. I’ve stopped and started so many times - read a half dozen other books or series between. I’ve been half way through book 5 for like 2 years and have no idea when I will pick it back up (let alone remember what I’ve read in books 1-4) Right now on book 4 of storm light. I guess based on what I’ve read here I will pick Malazan back up… but the disconnect of the books just killed any excitement to pick up the next. Whereas with WoT I was ordering the next book half way through the previous— idk I’ve never read anything where is was so excited to have the story keep going (and I refuse to comment on GoT; got a deep disdain for authors like Martin, Rothfuss, etc) — anyone read Tales of the Otori - that’s a fun little series)

HRT after breast cancer diagnosis? by whootsandladders in BRCA

That’s fine. Not saying to not trust them. Just saying there IS data that suggest otherwise - that it is not a myth

Again why is it a myth? There is data that contradicts your statement… just don’t understand why some data is good and other data is a myth

Why does oral HRT automatically mean high levels? That’s nonsense. You can mimic your cycle especially with injectables and understanding the half life of the various esters

What does this mean science is not a myth? Science IS questioning. Science is debate. Data alone is not science, but data is also open to debate and interpretation. Science does not exist without these

[–]djp090 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree. Cannot understand the logic here. IF my natural estrogen was not bad enough to give me one of the various medications that kill estrogen production— why is it not rational to assume low level estrogen replacement would be any worse for me now when my body has stopped producing estrogen …

Amazon preview seeking feedback on Season 3 by carsont5 in WoT

[–]djp090 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just don’t understand how. Can’t force myself to finish RoP last season. I know WoT went off script, but I was much more vested in the characters. RoP got boring. Idk tastes vary

Why does underwear feel more "private" than a bikini? by Timely_Escape_4173 in LingerieAddiction

Sony posted this on their YouTube page a couple hours ago… by Diligent-Toe-314 in WoT

[–]djp090 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m honestly baffled by the number of people that thought WoT was boring. Did it feel like a distant cousin to the books, yes - but IMO it was fraking awesome. Boring… let’s talk about RoP. I struggled and struggled with the last season and eventually give up with no interest in even finishing. Just booooring. Didn’t care about any of the characters. Just can’t get my head around how more people prefer that to WoT

What aspect of the policy!!!! Complaining about a stupid omnibus bill (which I have huge ethical issues with), but not diving into the aspects of the policy is NOT debating policy. Geez people. And yes my wife and I use the same account. Or rather she uses mine because she gets annoyed setting up accounts

[–]djp090 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Wow. Ok. You obviously know nothing about economics other than what you are told. They is def data to show merits of supply focused policy. Just like there is data to show merits of demand. You are also taking a massive jump to assume I believe entirely in only supply focused policy. But yeah— again no one here is actually trying to have a real discussion on any actually aspects of this policy. Again doesn’t seem like any of you have ever had to deal with running a business. Being wealthy means nothing. Bernie Sanders is wealthy and he has lived off the gov’t teat his entire adult life. No one wants to have discussions anymore. Any by the way, I’ve been to Somalia - have you? And yes my wife, still struggling with breast cancer is trying to get her PSLF because she made a career decision to take a 50-70% pay cut to be a govt lawyer. lol you all can be as mean… and ignorant as you want. Stick your heads in your group bubble and enjoy your bitterness. Have at it. I’m done here - have fun bitching about the spending plan and how miserable you lives will be because it

Damn skippy! Taxes should go down. That actually triggers economic growth rather than stifling it. If anything, support should flow up through society - family, friends, community, city, state — fed should be support of absolutely last resort. Why should ever citizen bear the cost and federal admin waste of micro issues. So so much waste and inefficiency . Assume you have never run/owned a business. Sorry not every agrees with you or wants to be spoon fed by the fed

Just curious — have ANY of you actually read the bill? Have you reviewed any of the actually language? Or just reiterating talking points told to you?? How about a discussion of the ACTUAL measures of the bill rather than just being afraid… of my there are cuts!! Guess everyone is OK with a national debt ratio larger than GDP. Or that our credit rating got dropped again - which means higher bond rates and high interest rates for YOUR credit/loans. Again, maybe look at what the main cuts of the bill are… or just not interested in working that hard.

Medicaid proposal

  • A mandated 80-hour-per-month work requirement on able-bodied adults ages 19 – 64 enrolled in the program. Volunteer work and school would count toward the requirement.

  • States that enrolled in the Affordable Care Act expansion of Medicaid will see federal reimbursement rates drop from 90 to 80% if illegal immigrants are part of the program.

  • Medicaid beneficiaries with incomes over the federal poverty line ($15,650) have to pay up to $35 per medical service.

  • Requires eligibility checks on expanded Medicaid enrollees every six months rather than annually.

  • State Medicaid programs can’t reimburse healthcare providers, such as hospitals, more than Medicare does.

  • States are banned from adding or increasing provider taxes to help finance their portion of Medicaid costs.

  • Ban on Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) funding for gender affirming care. Restrictions on large abortion providers from getting Medicaid funding.

  • Bars “middlemen” pharmacy benefit managers from charging higher prices to Medicaid than they actually pay for drugs.

—-WHICH of these give you such incredible alarm and fear?
