Except the part where he was quoted saying that it was a victimless crime. Ick

Check the HR, insurance extras or employee perks whatever page or call the insurance about Behavioral Health programs. Some companies (not enough by far) have some free or lower cost providers in those programs. Not just EAP, which is also a great offering, just usually not long term. Some, it may just be "virtual in-network visits" are discounted over "in person" visits or something simple. A common obe I see is ~5-8 free w/the matched provider then it rolls into the benefit payments if you keep them going.

Its all a very dumb game and I try to pass along any "tricks" I can find to make the system remotely usable. If anyone has any, throw 'em my way!

The abilities of some to twist and misconstrue almost everything is almost impressive. Anytime anything might be helpful to society, they come up with conspiracies and ways it must be for evil.

I don't have, and never planned on having, any kids but, I always vote for and push for education. It is scary what large numbers of ignorant people can accomplish.

I found this USA Today https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2023/04/10/fact-check-false-claim-15-minute-cities-lock-down-residents/11593351002/

From a snippet:

Moreno said the posts are inaccurate and misconstrue the nature of the urban planning framework.

"The 15-minute city is the opposite of lockdown," Moreno said. "The 15-minute city is an open and connected city, which balances the differences in access to services."

The framework does not limit residents' ability to leave their neighborhoods or access services in other areas of the city.

“All citizens are free to go where they want," Moreno said. "There are no constraints.”

Far-right influencer Rogan O’Handley went so far as to suggest that if the Chiefs won the Super Bowl, Swift and Kelce would trigger an apocalyptic chain of events that would kill millions. “You MUST defeat the Chiefs,” O’Handley wrote in an X post addressed to the San Francisco 49ers. “If you don’t, Mr. Pfizer and his girlfriend are going to tour the country as ‘world champions’ helping elect Joe Biden WW3 will likely follow in a 2nd Biden term and millions will die. The fate of the free world rests upon your shoulders”

Just wow. Only a tidbit of the crazy they are spouting in this article.

My little daydream is that thr judge's terms were something simple like "I want your statement beforehand so I can review it. But, you have to write it yourself, by hand. Your own hand." And he just couldn't muster up the gumption to do his own work.

Sweet. Really, I may miss whole batches as sometimes they come so quick but, if I see something funny I feel like I gotta share it here so everyone gets the funny too.

I dunno. Hadn't seen it here yet. Seen some stuff I already posted, reposted here before so never thought it mattered. Is there a limit? Did I break a rule?

Amazing work! Thanks so much for your, and all who helped, time for this amusement. How it was still able to vary from the YouTube songs that were posted beforehand was great and had to have taken efforts!

Hahaha!! Oh hell, I feel it. Whoever decided that looped videos and music like that, that the employees can't get away from, should have a special place dedicated to them. It should be considered a form of human torture to put employees through that.
