Chicken and Brussel sprouts. Doesn't sound fancy but it's hot fire and I look forward to it.

Got any plans this weekend?

I mean yeah he's charming but that ain't the guy. Different jacket, different bag.

Hang on I'll reverse the polarity, see if we can't get an Avogadro Geordi

Bruh don't fucking lie. It was a 5'4" gremlin looking woman with green hair.

So here's a fun fact about that number, that's after appeals and refilling.

I worked at BCBS, specifically dealing with rejected claims many many years ago. Most of the rejected claims are ultimately paid, generally there's a clerical error and once it's fixed, it's paid. About a third of the time it's a chiropractor doing something fucking shady. A shocking number of rejected claims are chiropractors doing borderline illegal shit.

The remaining handful of rejected claims are for either weird shit that no one covers, such as helicopter landing fees, or stuff that would be covered up to a certain limit that they've exceeded. Very, very rarely did we see something that we rejected, they appealed, that went on to be reviewed by actual doctors who still found it to be unnecessary, and when it was it was because the doctor ordering it really dropped the ball on the lab work to prove it was necessary.

One time we had a patient effectively being held hostage in Mexico because they wouldn't release him before the 23 hour mark because he was having a heart attack, but because he had no coverage out of his home state, they also wouldn't release him until he paid for his visit. BCBS paid that claim. Admittedly the state I worked for was pretty lenient with approvals. Other states were much worse, and not dissimilar from UHC.

The fact that UHC was denying claims nationally at a rate double BCBS nationally, I'm lead to believe that they're just rejecting everything that isn't standard preventive care out of hand and only paying a handful of the appeals.

Let's give them bunnies. Peace can come when they all have bunnies.

[-] Wogi@lemmy.world 25 points 4 days ago

It's apparently against community rules to discuss violence in any form.

So instead let's talk about giving CEOs bunnies. Everybody loves bunnies and maybe putting a bunny in a CEOs lap will show them the love they are sorely missing.

Give every CEO a bunny. Give them 20. Give them bunnies while their backs are turned, surprise them with bunnies. Send them bunnies to their homes. Let them y know they are loved even while they're away from work. Put bunnies in their beds, in their cars. No billionaire CEO should ever turn a corner without knowing a bunny is there waiting. Let the billionaires know the true depths of our love. With bunnies.

I went to high school with this guy. We were never really close friends though he was perpetually in the one group of people I kept in touch with after high school.

A few years ago we had a falling out and I never really looked back. I never really liked the guy, sometimes I fuckin hated him. Though the group kinda fell apart after that and I lost contact with someone I actually did care about. Otherwise, getting him out of my life really wasn't a negative.

Regardless, he responded to a Facebook post and curiosity got the better of me.

In the past, he'd expressed regret in voting for Trump, he wasn't a Democrat and voted third party in 2020. I assumed he'd check out of this election and I'd see what he was up to.

Strangers, this man has completely lost his fucking mind. His Facebook is flooded with reposted tiktoks admonishing the current administration and screeching about the moral imperative of getting trump back in to office. One after another after another, 5 to 7 of these things a day. Continuing debates he's had with somebody by tagging them, and notably getting no response. More than once he's brought up a trump policy, blamed it on Kamala Harris, and howled about how evil the Democrats are.

In the past any attempt at rational discussion would devolve to fanatic ravings, and now it seems that all he's doing. Constantly screaming in to the void about some perceived Boogeyman.

I haven't lost anything, as I said getting out of each other's lives was a good thing for me. This guy used a hard R during the protests and would go to safe spaces online to torment the people there for fun. He's literally the type of person Facebook has screening questions for.

But Jesus, he's like a fucking caricature. There's no engaging with that type of person, no bringing them back. He's just lost.

This is an abrasive disk, rotating at 1500 rpm. When I shine my flashlight at it, it carries the glow with it, approximately halfway around the disk. What am I seeing happen here?

But they sent my area to a different building.

I'm at a place I don't know, surrounded by people I've never met, and as it happens food I can't eat.

I'm not allowed to leave.

I'm supposed to feel appreciated.

It's the holidays, at my job I will be attending at a minimum 3 holiday meals on different days. They send around these little slips and we all vote on what to have.

There's never anything available that I'll actually be able to eat.

My diet, while not strictly keto, is at my doctor's recommendation. I've successfully eliminated any danger I faced due to rising blood sugar, and the jury is still out on carbs re-entering my diet in any significant capacity.

I am fully aware of how difficult it can be to prepare food without carbs. Especially to someone who's never done it.

At every opportunity I make it clear that I am perfectly happy, and I'm fact would prefer to simply feed myself. I get that they're trying to show appreciation, but I would appreciate knowing exactly what's in my food, rather than having to trust that everyone in the chain of people involved getting me a low carb meal knew exactly what that meant.

I like my meals, I like how healthy I have become. I honestly have never really enjoyed the food they get anyway. Just let me do my thing goddamnit
