I disagree. A higher turnover rate means paying the new guy less money. You’ll see this more often when they want to annoy people into quitting so they don’t need to pay unemployment.

They’re using the psychology correctly. It’s just awful for people as a whole. But it can temporarily make their books look good (high sales, low expenses) and justify bigger bonuses for the board.

The groan I just grunt. Well done, hotdogman. Well done.

Ahhh gotcha. We’re basically saying the same thing

I’m not sure what you mean by underwriting it and declining coverage anyway. But you’re correct, it is challenging to get somebody approved for taking medication relating to anxiety/depression. If they have a history of being hospitalized, they will not approve the underwriting.

It’s surprising that your wife got declined for being 10 lbs under weight. If that was truly the only problem, I’d be able to get that approved through just about anybody. Which company did you use?

Typically the limit is 2 years.

Wouldn’t affect the payout, but it would increase your premium.

Typically no. Life insurance companies don’t like anything regarding mental illnesses. Largely because it’s under researched, so they just say “no thanks.”

Come on in! There’s cookies.

Reddit? No. I was thinking moreso Meta. They have the deeper pockets and a proven track record of breaking privacy laws to their own benefit.

My tin foil hat is telling me it’s one of the other social media companies funding a hacking group to do it. They stand to have the most to lose, and they’ve seemingly decided to enjoy changing the narrative regarding multiple topics. Lemmy stands directly against what the bigger social medias stand for.

I have no evidence to back this though. As a business owner I just know that things become very consistent when people are being paid, and very inconsistent when they aren’t. These attacks are seemingly very consistent/organized.

Somewhere between “they all deserve to eat” and “get off my bed” for me.

Yup

Yup

Not understanding and not approving of it are two different things. Millennials love our quirky/scary younger siblings, and I won’t hear otherwise.

I know exactly what video you’re referring to. And the sounds.

You’re not alone in your trauma.

I’m a fan of associated press personally. They seem to do a decent job at sticking to the facts and not telling you what to think.

Damn lazy robots and their avocado toast.

Find the middle ground you agree on, then focus/build on that. Paint yourself as “on their side,” not their enemy.

But most people don’t care to change their mind. They care to see if you agree and expect you to change yours to match. So battling for the purpose of battling only leaves everyone exhausted.

Don’t forget who raised you to hate conflict in the first place.

Gotcha, thank you
