@paleochristcon Great… now they can livestream their atrocities next time they happen 🤣

Lmfao

@ProfeserAnthrax @paleochristcon They riot, we cover it!

@RealFutchy @paleochristcon Dumpster-mo 5!….or 6? I’m losing count…

ITS RIOT SEASON BABY!

This post is more emotional than accurate. A $28,000 student loan doesn’t turn into $100,000 on a normal 10-year repayment plan. The part they’re leaving out is that a lot of people aren’t on that plan for 16 years straight. They’re on income-driven repayment, deferment, or forbearance, where payments can be so low they don’t even cover the interest. When that happens, interest keeps piling up and can get added to the balance. So even while you’re paying, the loan can barely move or can even grow. Also, stretching a loan out over 16 years instead of 10 naturally means you pay way more in interest. That’s just how loans work. So this isn’t some hidden “usury” situation. It’s what happens when payments are low and the loan drags on for years without really paying down the principal.

An American takes out a $28,000 student loan. After 16 years and $38,000 paid, her balance is $58,000. $68,000 is PURE interest. She'll pay nearly $100,000 for a $28,000 education. This isn't "education financing" — it's usury.

Cool meltdown 🤣, but you still didn’t defend your point. You said it’s “really common” for people to get denied and stuck paying. That’s false. In-network denial rates are roughly 10–20%, and a huge chunk are admin issues like prior auth or coding, not “you shouldn’t have been treated.” And it’s dishonest framing when in reality almost all of those people get their billing fixed because it’s not their error. So no, it’s not “you’re on the hook because insurance said no.” It’s usually “fix the paperwork or appeal and it gets covered.” Your rant about pre-ACA and “big insurance evil” doesn’t change that. You’re arguing a different point because you can’t back the one you made. How about you actual make an argument backed with facts and logic instead of feelings.

@RealFutchy @zyoungak97 @skumWgmi Also how much is big insurance paying you to defend them? Insurance is a middleman that just robs us. You can not honestly think insurance is a benefit for our health, its a predatory for profit system that does more harm than good

You get cancer. You fight for your life for 8 months. You beat it. Then you get a bill for $400,000 and spend the next 10 years fighting that. Every other developed country on earth finds this insane. We find it normal.

Notice how you didn’t touch a single point I made. That’s because you can’t. You just pivoted to “my country is better,” which has nothing to do with whether denial rates are “really common.” Also, you’re not “just treated no matter what.” You’re prepaying through taxes, and your system absolutely rations care, whether through wait times, limited access, or approvals behind the scenes. Every system denies care. Yours just hides it better so you feel like it’s free. So no, that wasn’t a bombshell. It was a complete and utter dodge. 🤣

@RealFutchy @BurritoR6 @skumWgmi And here’s a bombshell for you. In my country thanks to public health care and taxes I pay on it, I am just treated no matter what. I don’t have to worry about anything.

@zyoungak97 @BurritoR6 @skumWgmi You’re missing the reason being paperwork issues like missing authorization or coding errors, not “you shouldn’t have been treated.” Way to dishonestly represent the facts.

@RealFutchy @BurritoR6 @skumWgmi You are saying in network meaing “covered” then say 20% are denied like that is okay. Its not okay

“Really common” is doing a lot of dishonest work there. Yes, claims get denied. But even in-network, denial rates sit around 10–20%, and a huge chunk of those are paperwork issues like missing authorization or coding errors, not “you shouldn’t have been treated.” And here’s the part that wrecks your point: when people actually appeal, most denials get overturned. Around 80% get reversed, according to studies. So no, it’s not “you get denied and stuck with the bill.” It’s “you got an initial denial that often gets fixed if you don’t ignore it.” Calling that “really common” in the way you framed it is just misleading.

@RealFutchy @skumWgmi Except when insurance denies a claim for whatever bs reason, and you are left to pay for treatment. Really common but you rather defend billion dollar insurance companies

@ImMeme0 They will likely be represented by:

NEW: NYPD is searching for suspects after a 13-year-old boy was brutally attacked in Queens, NY. The teen was beaten and stabbed with a large knife and struck with metal poles while being robbed of his backpack and shoes.

@SarahisCensored Got what she deserved. You don’t go to someone’s home where they live with ill intent assuming things will go well for you.

If this is the new definition of masculinity in America, count me the hell out. She had no weapon. At worst, she was irritating. But this response was completely over the top - and flat-out violent. A real man would have told her to get off his property or called the authorities. This? This is coward behavior.

“Could be an investment” is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. Most media projects don’t make money, they burn it. Movies, games, comics, whatever, the failure rate is brutal. Even big studios miss constantly. That’s not comparable to parking money in something like the S&P 500 where you’re historically averaging solid returns over time. You’re basically saying “why not gamble instead of invest?” because it might pay off. Sure, and a lottery ticket might too. If the goal is to actually build wealth, you go where the odds are. Not where your feelings about modern movies are.

@RealFutchy @GPrime85 @ByJimbob Why invest it if you don't want anything? That and media projects could be considered an investment, it's just riskier than the usual fortune 500

"What would I do with 2 million dollars?" Dude. If modern games, comics, movies, etc. suck so much (and they do) find talented people and pay them to MAKE STUFF. We have talented creators working at Walmart, meanwhile our millionaires are sitting on their money doing nothing I'm going crazy

@BrianAtlas Can I have one that no one has sipped from please @BrianAtlas ?

two cups. one red, one blue. No one drank from the red cup. 30 people drank from blue cup. Which do you choose?

@paleochristcon Living the life bro

People really want my wife to leave me cuz I take all of her book money and spend it on guns....but shes whipped as fuck. Never gonna happen. Move on.

Notice how you just ignored everything I said and jumped to a new talking point? That’s called moving the goalposts. And this one isn’t the slam dunk you think it is either. “Other countries have stricter gun laws and less gun crime” is a mix of cherry-picking and false equivalence. You’re comparing completely different countries to the United States like they’re interchangeable. Different culture, population, crime patterns, and a Constitution that literally protects gun ownership. It’s also a correlation ≠ causation problem. Just because two things show up together doesn’t mean one caused the other. Plenty of those countries had low gun crime before strict laws, and many differences have nothing to do with guns at all. And even if I granted your point for a second, it still doesn’t answer the actual question you keep dodging: What stops a killer in the moment it’s happening? Because “other countries” isn’t a solution, it’s you avoiding the argument. 🤣

@RealFutchy @Kramroll @itsdeaann Countries with stricter gun control also very obviously have less gun crime.

when a gunman tries to kill trump, conservatives demand change to prevent further violence (ie. the ballroom) but when gunmen murder kids in school and paint the walls with their blood, conservatives give their “thoughts and prayers” and brush it under the rug. hypocrites.

"Is the juice worth the squeeze" is an analogy I still use regularly to this day. This movie is coded in me.
