Did I go through all the comments and not a SINGLE person put “Ring Around the Rosie” from Get him to the Greek?

The average insurance reimbursement is more like $80, not $130 for therapy. If they work for a group practice, up to half of that goes to the owner of the practice. Only a therapist who wants to burn out fast is seeing more than 5 or 6 patients a day. The rest of the day is bookkeeping, multiple calls to insurance

Psychologist here! For a 15 minute med check, a psychiatrist gets paid usually between double and triple what a therapist gets paid for a 45 minute therapy hour. But they both have to pay the same commercial rent on their office space. That's why. 

I’m a Warren/Bernie fella, and I think it would be a terrible mistake if Bernie wins the nom for either of them to even consider her for VP. He needs a younger ticket partner to assuage fears about his health, and possibly even a moderate. Stacy Abrams or Julian Castro, possibly. Why would Warren give up a senate seat

They seemed to have advertisers in the first year, and then switched to selling extra lives in the second. I’m not sure if they lost advertisers, or chose to stop trying to get advertisers (I’m leaning towards the latter, because at its peak it was getting 2M players daily, and who wouldn’t want to advertise on that?

Sarah mostly left (was fired, then partially rehired?) about a year ago. That’s Anna Roisman, host of HQ Words. I have to give Richardson, Carpenter, Roisman, and Gambino credit - they really did their best in the last year when HQ was flailing.

I literally cashed out my $50 total winnings a week and a half ago. Talk about prescience.

They had ads in the beginning, and then stopped. Why they didn't capitalize on ads and sponsorship at the height of their popularity, I cannot figure out 

Cmon, edit this post out. 

I will say that I felt that way at points, and there are at least 3 puzzles so abstruse that I had to look them up (one of which I believe was so hard for people that they had to patch the game), and it did not spoil or make anything less pleasurable for me. It was my favorite game of last year.

The majority of the country lives in cities without garages. Where exactly are we plugging it in?

I am absolutely going to get this game, finally, and considering it on switch, but does it have the Nintendo tax? How much is it on Switch vs PS4? 

I think Che has a right to have a bit of a chip on his shoulder, growing up in Bushwick and watching it get gentrified, at least compared to Jost, who thinks his edgy right-wing snark is the height of comedy. But Che has been making hundreds of thousands of dollars for years now, long since left BK for Manhattan, and

I work in a similar industry (working overtime this MLK day, myself). While CDPR is required to pay for overtime, due to polish law, most software companies do not pay for overtime. 

I love Georgia’s new album, but to call her debut unremarkable? I think it’s so much more interesting and weird than the follow up. Follows so many artists whose sophomore album feels like it has to be more pop-leaning (Chvrches, Alunageorge, Purity Ring, etc).

Damien Lewis does an excellent accent in both Band of Brothers and Homeland. I haven’t heard him in Billions - maybe a New York accent is hard? But Dominic West and Elba did very decent middle class Baltimore accents in the Wire, so it can’t be THAT hard.

That actually makes me like it MORE

Like most of Harriot’s articles, this should be distributed far and wide.

Well, she’s 31 now. I am sure she’s going to Dwayne Johnson/Chris Bridges/Curtis Jackson that name away very soon.

I hope Ilana Glazer has gotten some stand-up practice in the intervening few years since I saw her and it seemed like she was just trying it out for kicks and was....bracingly bad.

But I am ON BOARD for Awkwafina’s return to her dumb Queens-based comedy roots.
