Some people have schizophrenia, shithead

She made bank off her tour, don’t speak as if Ticketmaster took all the money and she made nothing. Her “company” took in about 2 billion in revenue from the last tour and after expenses she made out with like 700 million in profit because she, like all shitty billionaires, extracts wealth from workers. I’m sure the roadies, people selling merch, tour musicians, etc are just doing great and definitely all have health insurance and aren’t being exploited because they work for Taylor and isn’t that so quirky and fun. She gave the musicians bonuses! That’s much better than a livable wage for everyone with benefits and definitely not a pr move slash a gift for the peons Taylor actually has facetime with and developed some empathy for.

Also Ticketmaster takes a smaller cut from people like her. Don’t get me wrong, they still take a monster cut and that’s part of why your concert tickets are stupid expensive now as you say, but part of the unfair advantage she has is the resources to negotiate far better terms than say, band z getting off the ground. Both she and Ticketmaster knows she will 100% sell out every single ticket of the entire tour in seconds and she and her team leverage this for a more advantageous contract. The capitalist calls this shrewd, everyone else calls this an unfair advantage that makes the already rich and famous even more rich and famous.

anyone involved in the Trump admin is obviously trash but chers argument is basically appeal to authority and discredit the other delivered in sassy tone that you like because she’s on “your team”. Both are garbage and if you upvote something like this you’re part of the reactionary tribalism ruining the world, fuck you. Absolutely nothing was debated here, boomer facebook trash.

Force people to justify their positions with coherent arguments, not just sassy doublespeak that says nothing yet you trust in it because they’re an authority figure or aligned with your cause. If they can’t do that then ignore them and don’t give them power

One time my 50lb dog ate an entire rotisserie chicken from the trash at a friends house. Like they literally bought one and threw it away without touching it and he at it 100% bones and all. It looked like he was pregnant. We thought it was going to cost so much money but while the vet was examining him he had the most impressive amount of vomit I’ve ever seen in my life relative to body size (and I’ve worked in hospitals). They examined him a bit more and said he was probably fine and sent us home. Cost $120. He’s still going strong 6+ years later so they were right.

I still have a picture of his belly from that day because it’s wild how bloated he was

As if he hasn’t been drawing the same basic picture 500 times a day for 50+ years. He can probably draw and color a perfect Garfield strip blindfolded with a broken arm.

It’s like one of those Chinese artisan teapot makers that’s 70 years old. When you watch a video of them making a teapot it looks so simple and elegant but you know that ability to make such deliberate and precise action comes from basically making 100 teapots a day for 50+ years. Then you see that laminar flow and the intricate detailing and you’re like oh my god I want that and you search it up and find out a proper one from someone like that is like $400 so you stick with your electric kettle that was $17.99.

He’s like the shitty banal grandma comedy version of that

Patient records can be subpoenaed but the request has to be relevant to a case. the persons defense as well as the provider has the right to argue against the release, though their arguments can be overruled and the provider can be compelled to release records and testify as to your diagnosis, treatment, clinical observations, etc.

It’s wild how people will regularly assume HIPAA is some magic force that protects them from government overreach. It’s not, at all. I’m not specifically shitting on you because I see this claim repeated all the time, even just here in this thread. Your providers should make the limitations of HIPAA more clear to you. They’re probably more concerned with getting you in and out to maximize billable time bc fee for service billing is fucked. That’s a whole different nightmare

A priest during confessional has more protection from being compelled to testify than any doctor or therapist. They even have stronger protections than lawyers. Lawyer client privilege can be overturned if you are found to be abusing it to plan crimes. If you brag to a clergy about all the crimes you’re gonna do (though if they help they will be punished for helping, the confessional is still inadmissible and protected). They are even usually exempt from mandated reporter laws (even though they’re often in the highest risk categories for child sex abuse). It’s fucked that this country gives a pass to pedophiles to rape kids because of a historical precedent towards fucking nonsense; meanwhile the fields built on a base of evidence that need to build trust have a cornerstone of “oh the judicial system can compel me if you become their enemy but btw if you go to church you can literally confess to raping kids and the murder you’re planning and no one will rat you out”.

Source: work in healthcare and have had records subpoenaed (successfully fought off 2/3 attempts, fuck you government)

But granted they aren’t getting trumps records. No fucking way. Even if someone had the balls to charge him with something and claim they needed them as evidence he’d get the entire government to make sure that never happened, even if it meant falsifying or even destroying the documents

The leftists who agree with the unabombers manifesto are the ones who haven’t read it and have only heard he was anti technology. If you read it you’ll see he was a right wing nutjob who was also anti technology and racist too

Haha! The audacity of that is astounding. Piracy at least gives you autonomy and equivalent quality, in many cases it gives you superior quality at that

My neighbor had chickens and a rooster. It was loud, as expected, but it was lazy and would only start later in the day. In actuality it was probably because it was young and separated from other roosters. It probably eventually would’ve done the morning routine but a fox got them all one day
