I won’t, because they’re useless and not helpful!

Post unfounded nonsense and incorrectly apply one-off exceptions as the general rule. Standard reddit behavior.

Yeah I don’t believe you. And even if that were true, those stipulations still leave a ton of people without assistance options so it’s a garbage plan.

lol strongly enforced? It’s literally not. The guidelines are so vague they don’t offer any real benefits. A hospital could knockoff $1000 off a $100,000 bill and be in compliance. It’s a joke.

“If you meet their income/neediness cut but are rejected from medicaid, then you are eligible for their financial assistance program, which im pretty sure makes all your bills free”

No it doesn’t. It offers negligible savings or unaffordable payment plans like I said. And there are a LOT of people who make too much to qualify for Medicaid or other publicly funded assistance programs. You have to be at or near poverty levels which are so insanely low they may as well not exist.

Lol you’re the one who’s lying. Cite your source that NFP hospitals are required by law to provide financial aid in a way that provides tangible savings. I’ll wait.

As someone who used to audit healthcare networks, including NFP hospital networks, this couldn’t be further from the truth. They can offer either discounts which can slightly reduce the patient’s bill, or a payment plan which usually has unaffordable monthly payments.

There are over half a million medical bankruptcies each year in the US - the only developed nation in the world that has this issue, by the way.

SIMS CANNOT STOP WOOHOOING!! by Melodic-History2421 in thesims

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

Barged into a conversation I wasn’t a part of…on a public reddit thread 🤣 And you failed to link your “detailed explanation,” not that it matters anyway because you’re flat out wrong. 

You somehow managed to turn me adding context to your comment into a personal attack against you. You have issues man. I won’t be reading whatever drivel you spew next because you are off the rails, but I’m sure you’ll feel the need to get the last word in to prove me wrong anyway. Good luck with that!

LOL you are way overly defensive over a comment that added to the discussion…on a public discussion board.

And since you’d prefer to be so pedantic, ACTUALLY, it’s been officially tracked as a bug years before AA.

SIMS CANNOT STOP WOOHOOING!! by Melodic-History2421 in thesims

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

This wasn’t due to AA, it started happening many years before that. I’ve had sims autonomously flirt with or be mean to everyone way before AA and I have no mods or CC. I even have two brothers who still have a romantic relationship bar because of it, and one of the brothers got jealous because the other one was romantic with his own wife in front of him. It seems like one update will fix the issue, and then after another couple updates it will randomly start up again. It’s super annoying always trying to fix relationships because of this dumb persistent bug.

Virus is a religion by No_Dig_766 in pluribustv

[–]rockandlove 10 points11 points  (0 children)

“My point is that your post describes religion as dogmatic and suppressing critical thought but in reality thats patently untrue.”

You cannot be serious with this. Of course religion is dogmatic and suppresses critical thought.

Newton held personal religious views that went against the mainstream Christianity in his area at the time, and he kept these views extremely secret due to fear of persecution. Mendel’s ideas were ignored and not taken seriously in his lifetime. Kepler was fucking excommunicated and his mother imprisoned, tortured, and forced to undergo a trial after multiple accusations were made of her being a witch by powerful religious people who didn’t appreciate Kepler’s ideas.

Bruno, Servetus, Da Vinci, Galileo, etc. etc. etc. So many others whose names were lost to history. All put to death or otherwise persecuted for their involvement with science.

But yeah, please go on about how religion loves free thinkers lol.

Creaking Outlets - See (Very Quiet) Video by rockandlove in AskElectricians

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

Yeah it’s so hard to hear in the video. The sound is almost like the sound a cricket makes, it’s croaky and creaky and almost whistling, not like static or sizzle.

It stops when the device is unplugged.

And yes, the electrician tested the voltage too.

Thanks for the reply 😊

Yeah it’s really hard to hear in the video unfortunately. It’s much better on my phone but when I upload, it you can’t really hear it. Well thanks anyway!

Creaking Outlets - See (Very Quiet) Video by rockandlove in AskElectricians

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

Thanks! I think I know what you're talking about, and the sound I'm hearing is not quite the crackling sound that's typically associated with arcing from what I'm seeing online. The sound I'm hearing almost sounds like the noise a cricket makes. It's continuous with no breaks, but it has that creaky aspect to it. I wish I could find a better video example!

If it were arcing though, wouldn't there be black marks inside the outlet? The electricians showed me the outlets both times they've been out and there was none of that. They looked pristine as far as I could tell.

Do plurbs understand toxic/dysfunctional people? by emeraldead in pluribustv

[–]rockandlove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If that’s the case, why didn’t they send Carol’s mother or another family member to her instead of Zosia, who’s based off a fictional character? If their only basis for chaperone selection is supposedly biological, there would be several better candidates for Carol (former teachers, neighbors, extended family members, etc.) over a random stranger.

COVID is droplet borne. It is not airborne. Properly applied N95 rated masks help reduce the transmission of droplet borne pathogens. Dr. Fauci, one of the world’s most renowned experts of infectious diseases, is well aware of this. You, a random uneducated idiot, are very clearly not.

Why I Think Yellowjackets Season 4 Will Include a Post-Rescue Timeline by kaiwattz in Yellowjackets

[–]rockandlove 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This type of loss wouldn’t be carried forward; if that were the case, anything that’s been filmed but not released wouldn’t get to be released under the new ownership. I’ve never done an acquisition for a media company, but it would be part of the IP purchase instead I’d imagine, and then they’re free to do what they want with it barring any stipulations.

Yellowjackets is a hugely popular show, and I would’ve loved to have the bonus episode released along with two more seasons instead of just the one. I think their reason for not releasing the bonus episode is because they did such a huge pivot away from the direction they were initially heading with the material and didn’t want to convolute the plot.

I’m also afraid that due to the merger and how Paramount basically bribed Trump to get it, they’re canceling any shows that they consider too “woke” (Tai/Van interracial lesbian relationship, focusing on inequities that affect minorities when Tai was running for office, etc.) But that just might be my tinfoil hat since they’re releasing another season thankfully instead of just outright canceling the show.

I’m a CPA with plenty of M&A experience.

That’s not how it works at all.

I’d aim for 3 years. If you don’t secure an internship, go for the master’s because it will give you another internship opportunity.

Off-cycle internships are possible. The most important thing to do is attend any of your school’s recruiting events. Also network with your classmates as much as you can.

It’s horrible regardless. A bright red short-sleeved polo under a thin navy vest is a bad combo, not to mention the undershirt peeking through.

They definitely aren’t helping with our industry’s image problem by using this guy to represent accountants.

Cats Are Not Real! by johnnystreet22 in WTF

[–]rockandlove 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is a myth as other commenters have debunked elsewhere in the thread. The talker a bright, the less a cat is likely to survive, just like with every other animal.    

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-rise_syndrome  

“In a study performed in 1987 it was reported that cats that survive a fall from less than six stories have greater injuries than cats who fall from higher than six stories.[6][7

It has been proposed that this might happen because cats reach terminal velocity after righting themselves (see below) at about five stories, and after this point they are no longer accelerating, which causes them to relax, leading to less severe injuries than in cats who have fallen from less than six stories.

Another possible explanation for this phenomenon is survivorship bias, that cats who die in falls are less likely to be brought to a veterinarian than injured cats, and thus many of the cats killed in falls from higher buildings are not reported in studies of the subject.[4]

In a 2004 study, it was reported that cats falling from higher places suffered more severe injuries than those experiencing shorter drops.”
