I guess it depends on the kind of porn you look at, doesn't it?

You pervert.

The blanketed information collection has been deemed legal as well though. All depending on which judge you ask ;) It's interesting that it's been a split ruling so far, but the white house is fully endorsing the "not illegal" ruling.

That really sucks, I sincerely hope they have some form of office or site insurance. It wont get them their game dev back, but at least they wont be out their hardware costs.

Oh, I totally recognized where it was going to begin with. My responses to him are sticking to being purely factual. It's more for those who read the thread thinking he may be correct, than to actually try and sway him. He's already been informed of the fact regarding what he's speaking on, so it's no longer…

Being multilingual, I have an appreciation for wanting to pronounce things properly when it's clearly a word specific to a certain region. That said, STOP PRONOUNCING SMAUG LIKE THAT! Really, maybe it's just me but it's fucking cringe inducing. It just seems like they are going out of their way to over pronounciate…

Well, what many people fail to be cognizant of is that those "good ole days" in the US history has always been run by progressives. Most people seem to be ignorant of the fact that the two political parties in the states changed their stances around the 1920-1930's. The "Republican" party up until that time were the…

I've never seen an ad on this site usingad blocker. Except for those click bait articles that are clearly sponsored ads.

It has it's ups and downs. Currently, the mechanics for it are simple, but suck. The more people that sign up, the less plans are.

The problem with that is, Republican politicians are attempting to sabotage the system by not allowing certain plans, or access to extended benefits within their states. Meaning that very…

I have no idea what you were trying to say.

"This guy got his insurance canceled by Obamacare"

He still has insurance. He does not have disability coverage that spans the gap between short term and long term. They are two different things.

Our "Affordable healthcare act" will go into effect on Jan 1st. Unfortunately, plans until that time are not affected by the ACA.

Oh, don't get me wrong, there's a reason I added the post script here. I'm not arguing the validity of the program or not, merely what it is and isn't currently doing.

As it's now law and active as of the first, I just don't bother withdiscussion as to whether it should exist or not. It does.

Guaranteed? Not necessarily, but very very likely. Statistically it's not a positive prognosis.

Well, to be fair, at first it's misleading due to the less than articulate commentary that was made, but it has it's place. American health care is crap at the moment, which is why the ACA was enacted. Disability, while not directly health care, is generally selected during your enrollment period for health care. They…

I know =) I'm just being positive. I'm both a Dr. and lost my father to cancer (after a third relapse no less).

Indeed, this is why I diagnose broken bones via xrays from my home office. I've had my fill of soul crushing family discussions in the waiting room.

To be fair, Obama has "owned" the term and even the white house refers to the ACA as Obamacare now. Which is why it's now called his "signature legislature." But I'm totally on board with your direction here of him attempting to use it as a pejorative.

Actually, "Obamacare" or the ACA is what was put in place to do away with plans such as these. The ACA was designed to put in place regulations to remove plans such as these due to loop holes that leave people uncovered by either disability or medical.

The ACA has fingers pointed at it when people are ignorant of what…

Hell, forblizzard they could look at it as investing in a healthy work community. Or investing in their own future. The guy has experience with their titles, and hiring new people is expensive =)

Actually, after re-reading the situation, it sounds as if the medical care is covered, but his personal expenses are not. As he's not working, he's relying on short and long term disability to cover his personal bills. Evidently, long term disability isn't kicking in quickly enough.
