This is some excellent knowing of things

This is the political equivalent of a boyfriend saying they could murder you if they wanted, but they love you so they’d never do that.

Yeah, no way you could have gotten that information any other way: https://www.docdroid.net/h2an/prima-199…

My doctor wanted to say it was for an endocrine disorder at first too, i think it’s how they normally get around the abysmal trans coverage in most of the country. But in CA, the law is they have to cover it for trans peeps or they can’t have an insurance company!

If you get insurance through a company based in California, they’ll pay for the hormones, the surgery, and 10k towards travel costs. Source: My company is based in California, I’m trans, and it only took me 20 minutes on the phone with Anthem to confirm the coverage.

Seconded so, so hard. I’ve been on HRT 4 months now and its absolutely like night and day.

Fellow North Carolinian here, I grew up in Raleigh, worked for the municipal government for four years right out of highschool and I know many of the people who operate “Raleigh”. They’re all very kind and accepting people, and Raleigh has been using contract amendments to prohibit this discrimination amongst city…

Canadians sent the Biebs as revenge for all that... Their excessively polite hands have blood on them too!

That’s not sexism, that’s pragmatism. Nobody cares if the janitorial staff is 50/50 women and men because they make no money and could easily be replaced. HR and Sales are not the secret sauce, they’re traditional jobs that could be done anywhere. They don’t have a salary premium like programming does(unless your…

You totally should be optimistic. The federal government is fucking huge, it’s not one entity and some departments are even segregated internally. There’s nobody in charge of setting meaningful standards (FIPS is total bullshit), let alone enforcing them. Federal compliance standards tend not to apply to federal…

The trick is to never talk to only one person, then you can switch after one or two seconds each while you’re talking. It can be three or four seconds if someone is talking, then look at someone else in the group and nod.

“Ask to join networks” is an absolutely mandatory security feature. Turning it off is literally asking to have your communications tapped without your notice. iOS prompting you is no panacea against you intentionally connecting to an AP that isn’t what you think it is, but at least prompting allows you to subject it…

Simba lived in a tree for a few years and we just found out his life wouldn’t be free from gun violence if he was real.

One of my salespeep buddies always says “Hard work beats talent every time talent doesn’t work hard”. I know it’s a cliche to say somebody always says this, but I’ve had literally zero conversations where he hasn’t said that to me.

It works the same way with everything here. You get what you pay for. As Ladyology pointed out, what most of America pays for is a system of high-incentive, high-competition, high-service care. It costs money to access it, and the system wouldn’t work if it didn’t cost anything to access it.

Lol, short people...

It’s more like “Should” pay taxes on that. This is why money laundering rules are becoming so strict.

The last five years experienced an unusual, but well precedented, run-up in the US stock market. The figures in this chart are based on buying the S&P 500, which is all US stocks. Your financial advisor probably has you diversifying about 30-40% into foreign stocks and 10-30% into bonds, which have grown at a slower…

That’s fucking Delta for you. That’s why I only fly American and JetBrue, unless I have to go to Atlanta or something.
