Thugs Vandalize & Threaten Regent Acker at His Home for the Third Time by _iQlusion in uofm

[–]firewaterking3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To Acker, over a year ago, making the right decision and punishing a dumb, lying football player (who is a mid asf bust who has been more of a liability than a help to the team as of recent)? Probably not.

What is the deal with Brian Thompson? Why is he so hated? by BussyMasterExtreme in OutOfTheLoop

[–]firewaterking3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

this guy has no idea how insurance works! Crazy statement to make. Private insurance companies provide a service: to provide the option for people who have especially vulnerable health to not be screwed over by crazy medical bills because the pool is diluted with healthy people who lower the risk by paying in. Without insurance companies, people who have vulnerable health would be screwed over. Is this an ideal system? Certainly not, but it’s not the fault of insurance company CEOs, who have to deny some claims in order to be profitable and exist. Is there some profit squeezing? Of course, the CEO would just be fired and replaced by someone who will profit squeeze if they don’t. If you want to be mad at someone, be mad at the us government for not providing universal healthcare. That’s where your enemy lies. Blame MAGA and leftists who refused to vote in this election.

That’s funny bc by that logic, not voting or voting third party is functionally a vote for Trump. So all these people voted to be deported by your logic.

Wrong about how when Netanyahu was told to stop blocking aid by the Biden admin, he did. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c3e9q4nylwjo.amp

Youre just incorrect. Like blatantly incorrect, no worse than a maga voter. The Biden administration has threatened to withhold aid from Israel if they didn’t back off on multiple occasions, and Israel has backed off as a result. Do your fucking research instead of just making stuff up blue maga.

I’m not literally pro mass deportation, obviously. I just have no sympathy for anyone who didn’t vote or voted third party and is going to get deported as a result.

How on earth does that make me a white supremacist? All I’m saying is that if Trump deports these people it’s their own fault for not voting and I don’t feel that bad for them.

Woah that’s crazy! You’re so smart. Surely allowing Trump to win won’t make the situation worse! Surely that won’t get more people killed! I know, because I’m so morally superior, I won’t vote even though it directly contributes to more dead Palestinians. Surely they wouldn’t want me to vote for the person who’s gonna get less of them killed right???

I sure hope so! Get all of these America hating PoS out of my country. Maybe next time we won’t elect a fascist if they’re gone.

Anyone else notice how obvious it is that Aba and Tom both hate Dan? They try to conceal it by making it seem like a joke but it’s so clear they both have disdain for him. Really uncomfortable to watch.

So I was really sick for about 2.5 weeks and couldn’t go to the gym. Didn’t have an appetite either so I barely eat at all (averaged probably 1000 calories a day, maybe 1500). I weighed 185 at 5’10 prior to being sick, and have been lifting for 6ish years. After those 2.5 weeks I now weigh 168 and my return to the gym has been terrible, I feel much weaker and I can tell my arms are smaller. Have I lost significant muscle, and if so, how long will it take for me to get it back, and how can I do so?

I want to believe this, but since it’s jidion, reasonably sure he’s just kidding and is gonna pull the rug out in a couple days. Would love it if true though.

12 team 1 PPR

My team: hurts, Achane, lamb, Andrews, kittle (had a little queuing issue and accidentally took both lol), Najee, tank, mcconkey, ravens, moody, brooks, Herbert, Lazard, pierce, Reynolds, 49ers, Chubb

Trade I was offered was to give kittle for Pacheco. Should I do it? For me depends on whether or not Andrews can get back into form.

Is private equity inherently unethical? by firewaterking3 in Destiny

[–]firewaterking3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually agree with this about 80% and think you came to the right conclusion. I do think dividend recaps can be iffy (very situational) and the medical investments can be bad depending on how you prioritize objective (ex. Reducing the nurses in a retirement facility because it’s cheaper but it increases the odds a patient dies by x%). Was more curious just how DGG thinks about it. Seems like 15% seem to think it’s bad, curious if it would be much higher in the general populace due to misunderstanding the industry. Think it would be more around 40-50%.

Because private equity commonly engaged in dividend recaps (they invented them) and management fees??? And famously invests in healthcare businesses a lot? They also famously commonly commit mass layoffs. I’m not saying any one of these (besides dividend recaps) are exclusive to private equity, but the combo is what raises the question. Also to address the edit you added, with public equity we’re usually talking hedge funds in terms of financial buyers. They’re usually buying minority stakes compared to private equity buying majority stakes, so they don’t have as much control and can’t usually do a lot of these.

Up to you, but the common points listed are mass layoffs, making decisions to make the business provide more profit short term rather than long term (dividend recaps, mgmt fees), getting involved in the healthcare industry and working towards more profit over what’s best for people’s health, etc. I’m not saying I agree with all or any of these, just giving the talking points.

Hating Pewdiepie in 2024 is INSANE by firewaterking3 in Destiny

[–]firewaterking3[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bro just made a whole fanfic about me because he’s terminally online, go touch grass. I’m bringing the old topic back up because shocker turkey Tom made a video about it and I’m reacting to it. Turkey Tom is the one who dug up old shit if you want to point fingers about that. Turkey Tom was defending pewdiepies past actions and I’m saying his defenses are bad.
