Ah, in hindsight that makes sense. Should I delete this, or keep it here for people to point and laugh at?

Should I be concerned?

Depends on whether or not you can figure out the CEO's home phone number.

I helped to organize a couple protests back when I was in college, but I haven't done fundraising or nonprofit organisation. I volunteered to hand out food donations to impoverished families locally but I didn't organize in that case.

That really sucks, I'm sorry. I wasn't aware of how bad it was.

Writing a letter is convoluted?

Also yes it does suck how hard it is to get GAC in many places, I sympathize

I have actually seen one on YouTube, but I think it was a reupload of her video from TikTok and I don't remember her name.

I wasn't trying to be tough, I was trying to be respectful cri

It is a single-step plan.

You write them to request a list of documents that they are legally required to provide if requested, the list of documents is numbered in that screenshot.

Either they provide that information, which you can use to dispute the denial, or they repeal the denial and pay your bill.

If you struggle to this degree with reading, I recommend downloading a screen-reader. If you already use one, my apologies for not initially providing a text transcript of the screenshot.

I mean, I'm American, and I read all that.

Granted, I am acutely aware of our education crisis, and put extra effort into learning literacy to compensate for the times I become non-verbal, but anyone who values this information would gladly read it. You don't have to if you just don't want to, but it's your own loss if you choose not to read it.

The Nameless

A group of fungal entities that sustain themselves by consuming concepts and ideas, effectively removing those concepts and ideas from the thoughts and memories of people around them.

The strongest of these creatures can wipe a concept from the minds of an entire nation, or even an entire world. Usually they need to enter a position of authoritarian power to do this without their nature being revealed.

The Nameless unanimously agreed not to be found or identified by other entities, so as not to be hindered in their feeding. People who hear of them tend to forget nearly immediately, and the Nameless have protocols in place to delete/destroy any written documentation of their existence.

Many of them parasitize an individual human, prioritizing the elderly, due to their abundance of knowledge and general inability to resist. The Nameless tend to occupy senior citizen homes.

Sometimes, however, they choose to parasitize younger humans that are sickly but book-smart. While also unable to resist well, and too young to have gathered an abundance of knowledge, they tend to pick it up quickly and make sufficient hosts for the Nameless.

Spanning across multiple galaxies, The Nameless have learned that intelligent and social species make the best hosts, and make a point not to feed on knowledge that would otherwise lead to the invention of global communications.

Nearly every planet occupied by the Nameless has the following traits:

  1. Primarily inhabited by an intelligent and social species that is capable of developing civilization.
    1. The primary species is NOT a hive-mind species. The Nameless can't feed on hive-minds.
  2. Some form of long-range communication is developed within a few years of colonization.
  3. Global communication is achieved in around a century.
  4. Despite unhindered access to information, the primary species seems too unintelligent to have invented their communications in the first place. This is due to late-stage feeding.
  5. Always on the tipping point of annihilation; the Nameless need to cover their tracks so as not to be caught.
    1. Even fictional references to beings similar to The Nameless are wiped or drowned out by unrelated information.
  6. The primary species is deliberately drip-fed incorrect information about the nature of the universe. Some of this false information is benign, other false information is intentionally designed to draw the species off the scent of the Nameless.
    1. The benign false info serves as both a red herring and a point of argumentation between members of the primary species, to distract them from discovery.
    2. For example, humans were led to believe that the electrical signals between neurons were the source of their sapience and not a side effect; while the nature of butterflies, a species that dissolves down to the neuron but can remember stimuli from before pupation, disproves this belief in its entirety, research on why this is the case has been deliberately stunted.
      1. The few researchers who discover the real reason are fed on, and the explanation is lost.
      2. They've caught me.

ahhh, I get it now lmao

I don't understand this comment.

Of course, asking them if it's true and then casually letting them know that you're willing to independently investigate and sue if the information they provided is found to be false may be a deterrent from lying. Depends on how ballsy their CEO is.

My hubby forwarded this screenshot to me from a GTNH Discord server and I feel it is valuable advice for anyone struggling with American healthcare.

I was only able to stream for an hour before I had to stop.

Now I solidly can't enjoy anything. What do I do?

Aaaaaaaaaa hi everyone I wasn't expecting so many new friends so fast and I should sleep hyperflush

I don't know what I'm doing

I am very new and very dumb. kitty-cri

Please give me directions that are /srs

I will most likely not detect sarcasm and struggle without explicit instructions. creature

I am on mobile currently. I'm supposed to be asleep. I am not asleep. I'm hyperfixated on new internet place.

I haven't quite figured out the UI yet but it might just not be optimized for mobile. Is there an app or should I just wait until I get back on my PC?
