I’m going to start making note of these types of events under the guise that I still think they are coincidence. Maybe if I collect enough of them it will lead somewhere. I’ll start with the most recent event and noted in the comments. I want to note that I am an engineer by training, an ex physics, instructor, and an armchair, quantum physicist who has read quite a bit on current theories .

Found this at Goodwill for $6.99!

@WallStreetApes How is she not embarrassed?

WOW 🚨 Delta Dental is considered a nonprofit but the CEO skyrocketed her pay from $4.5 million per year all the way to $48 million over 4 years That’s $1 million dollars per month pay for one employee as a nonprofit “Delta Dental is considered a non-profit, and as such you can be their taxes online. So I got curious in their 2014 filing, the IRS requests for the organization's top accomplishments. Delta Dental reported that over 95% of claims electronic, online and paper were processed without any manual intervention. That means when your care is denied, there is less than 1 in 10 chance a human reviewed it — That same year, Delta dished out up to a 30% pay cut on the care that doctors deliver, and for a decade, they did not raise what they pay for your dental care by a single penny. Meanwhile, their CEO's salary skyrocketed. She went from 4.5 to $15 million a year. From 2014 to 2018, she made off with almost $48 million before leaving her position. That's a million dollars a month. Must be nice. And she's not even a clinician. She's a CPA. You don't have to be an accountant to do the math. Dr. Pay cuts stagnant reimbursements. They were never about saving patients money on premiums.”

What do you think? Is it only that or deeper tech we are not aware of yet?

@luxemiaa Absolutely not. They might not come back. That is probably the intention.

A woman on Instagram shared: So my ex husband just asked if he can take our daughter to Africa, with his new wife and her kids. I told him only if I can come he said no . he’s only seen her once in the last 4 years . She’s 7 now. Am I wrong for saying absolutely not, or would you trust someone like that to take your child that far away?

@nikutaberuru Yes and we have big fires if it’s cold

日本人がイメージする アメリカの家はデカい庭があって 休日は庭でBBQパーティーをする 圧倒的パリピなイメージです。 アメリカ兄貴たちは 休日にデカい庭で BBQパーティーをしていますか？

@YIMBYLAND Not to show my nerd too much but the library there is awesome as well. visitgalveston.com/directory/rose…

Galveston remains one of the most underrated parts of the US. Imagine living in a 100 year old Victorian in a walkable neighborhood minutes away from the beach for under 500k. Insane.

@eckiam Where is home for you? We are in Arkansas this weekend

@daedaluslearn reminds me of home.

More of this type of Boomer Alpha face off 😊

@Just_sharon7 Gen X

@daedaluslearn Are you boomer?

@HELLSBELLS828 Yes! You unlocked a core memory for that one

My mother used to pour kool aid into ice cube trays, add sticks and we’d have popsicles. Anyone else’s mom have homemade snacks?

Get a ROOM

@ChefGruel I would take that straight back

I made the mistake of buying a watermelon from a big box grocery store

@IrsaKhan499439 Blessed. Both of you

My mother is 89. Two years ago, she moved in with me. Each morning I hear her getting up at around 7:30 AM. She lovingly baby-talks to and feeds her 23-year-old cat. Then she makes breakfast and enjoys coffee in the sunroom. She exercises by cleaning her large 2600 sq ft house. Sometimes she cooks, cleans the kitchen, and does calisthenics. In the afternoon, she follows her beauty routine. She sorts her huge wardrobe—donating, selling, or gifting clothes. She enjoys 3-mile walks by the lake several times a week. She meets friends monthly and stays socially active. She reads, watches operas, and chats daily with her 91-year-old sister. At night, she stays up enjoying music and says she should sleep.

@Eric_Erins The only time I use them is when the deal they are offering outweighs the fees so something like buy one get one free or 25% off

I don’t understand how people get hooked on delivery apps. Everytime I think about ordering food delivery I get to the checkout and I’m like. Wait why am I doing this why am I spending $25 on a meal that’s not even worth $15

@andrebttx The food is actually inedible, but it’s a nice destination point for people visiting where they can check out the lake without actually having to go out on a boat. But just get drink. Trust me do not order food.

The Oasis has a very real claim at being the single most overrated place in all of Travis County. It is actually difficult to even come up with other similarly overrated choices to compare it to, it might be in an entire league of its own.

@millennialergy2 @Still_Not_Ted Rumor has it the queso is doable.

@daedaluslearn @Still_Not_Ted Margs and the view, that’s it LOL

Food sucks, view is great

@millennialergy2 @Still_Not_Ted The only way it’s worth it is if you’re doing something out by the lake anyway. And even then not the food.

@daedaluslearn @Still_Not_Ted It’s so funny bc when someone visits me they immediately want to go there because it’s on every “best restaurants in Austin” list and I end up having to talk them out of it w “the food’s honestly terrible, the drive from downtown is a total pain, and it’s just not worth it” LOL

@millennialergy2 @Still_Not_Ted It is consistently bad, even the waiters will agree with you. I asked them last time why they don’t just do something different. The fajitas were soggy. Learned my lesson. A drink to enjoy the view and that’s it.

@Still_Not_Ted Let’s take it over and MAKE THE FOOD GREAT AGAIN 🇺🇸🫡

@RoaringHammy I did get laid off January 31 and I started a new gig March 3. I was really worried, but luckily the side hustle and I did have several months emergency expenses saved up.

If you got laid off right now, how long do you think it'll take you find a similar job? I don't think i can land a similar job if i got laid off...

@elmachuca Awful food. 💯

Garbage food, slightly better view.
