um, couldn't you just look down at your shit, or take your own picture on your smart phone to compare to other poop images on the web? Like why the fuck would anyone need a toilet camera?

Hmm, does DJT wear the same fucking suit every day, cause it sure looks like it.

Bro/sis, before the tariffs I was able to build a mid end PC for $1000, it does way more than a smart phone. There is no logical reason why a smart phone should cost $5000. You're getting down voted because the numbers you are throwing out are completely disconnected from reality. Manufacturing costs for a smartphone are like $500 tops. Another source on manufacturing costs. The actual people assembling them make something along the lines of $3-4 an hour, and that's being generous.

I mean, we already know that WaPo is the mouth piece for Baldy Bezos.

Today I learned. Do you have links to the others?

The song in question. Fuck ICE indeed.

Don't go dragging me into your online arguments.

However, if you read every word, specifically, absentminded, it doesn't sound like the person that wrote this is trans or was taking estrogen with the intent of transitioning; I'm speculating and making inferences. (How the fuck someone absentmindedly takes a drug lends itself to the theory that the original author didn't have a doctor's prescription for it, but again, I am speculating.)

But yeah, there is nothing stopping someone that identifies as male from using estrogen. The author could have been taking something like spironolactone, which is an anti-androgen drug used to treat acne, which has a minor estrogen effect.

You don't have to be female or identify as female to be taking estrogen/estrogen like medications.

"It’s basically like a little tear on the bottom corner, and I tried to take it to Service Canada and they said it wasn’t damaged enough to be replaced"

Sounds like the Canadian government not replacing the damage passport when she requested it led to this.

It's magnesium, (a mineral,) plus taurine, (an amino acid.)

Magnesium citrate, this is magnesium with citric acid, (a weak organic acid derived from citrus fruits. It has good bio availability absorbed via the GI tract.

Magnesium oxide. From a chemistry perspective this is a type of salt. Poor bio availability via the GI tract, can use used to treat indigestion and constipation.

Magnesium chloride. Also a salt. This is also well absorbed by the GI tract. (It's like sodium chloride, table salt, but with magnesium instead.

Magnesium lactate. This is a salt formed when magnesium hooks up with lactic acid. This can be produced by your body during intense exercise. It's also a food preservative and generally isn't used as a dietary supplement.

Magnesium malate is magnesium plus malic acid. Malic acid, (another weak organic acid,) can be found in fruit. This form is also well absorbed via the GI tract.

Magnesium L-threonate s the salt formed from mixing magnesium and threonic acid, a water-soluble substance derived from the metabolic breakdown of vitamin C. It's also easily absorbed via the GI tract.

Magnesium sulfate is formed by combining magnesium, sulfur, and oxygen. It’s commonly known as Epsom salt. It can ease constipation, but isn't something you should be taking orally long term. Prolonged usage when you have certain health conditions can fuck your kidneys up, or cause magnesium toxicity.

Magnesium glycinate is formed from elemental magnesium and the amino acid glycine. Easily absorbed via digestion.

Magnesium orotate includes orotic acid, a natural substance involved in your body’s construction of genetic material, including DNA It’s easily absorbed and doesn’t have the strong laxative effects characteristic of other forms.

This was done via state campaigns to change state law giving women in targeted state the right to vote. Once enough states had that right/law on the books it made federal constitutional amendment possible, without needing to lobby the federal government to give women the right.

This is the face I make all day long.

I'm cynical enough to believe that nothing will come of the files, but deep down in my core there is a tiny piece of hope.

-Process insurance enrollment in a state database that gets transmitted to the insurance carriers daily.

-Enrollment requires a metric fuck ton of paperwork. I make sure the paperwork is in order so it is in accordance with state laws on the books related to insurance enrollment for state workers so we can pass our audits. (I don't know what happens if we fail audits, because I haven't failed one yet.)

-Inform people as soon as they are eligible for insurance, educate them about the plans in general, how the ACA works, what constitutes preventative service, how to use the online tools with the insurance carriers to find providers and view claim information.

-Employees with issues bring me their EOBs and I will walk them through why something isn't covered, or if it should be, conference calls with the insurance carriers and employee to attempt to resolve. I've assisted employees with filing insurance appeals, followed by external appeals with a neutral 3rd party through the state's department of financial services to get insurance appeal denials overturned. (Those are my fucking favorite. Forcing our carriers to meet their contractual obligations is what I live for after working directly with insurance carriers for a decade and witnessing all the ways they fuck over their customer base.)

-Educate people on other benefits, like the state pension. Process enrollment into the state pension system in a second database, and our internal pay serve.

-Some benefits like flex spending for health care require the employee to enroll themselves. Aside from teaching people what the benefit is with the accompanying literature, I also have to help people troubleshoot self enrollment in those products because they couldn't be arsed to look at my step by step instructions with screenshots.

-Take calls from people that show up to their doctor/vision/dental appointment without their god damned insurance information and they want it now. Spoiler alert, that's not information I have access to due to HIPAA law passed 30 years ago in the 1990's, but there's a plethora of 50-80 year old adult men that are happy to cuss me out for not acting like their personal mommy/secretary.

-In person on boarding, with less than 24 hours notice that on boarding is happening, without the signed contracts I need to determine what the fuck an employee is eligible for.

This had nothing to do with the USA. It was triggered by an Australian group of christofascist Karens, called "Collective Shout," leading to adult titles being removed from steam. Steam already region locks titles, so it would be easy for them to block titles for sale in countries with laws about NSFW matierial. What's unique about this is the christofacists put enough pressure on payment processors to shut down Steam's ability to sell anything in any country. The title pulls weren't the result of government pressure.

Yes. Once the bread and circuses are gone, people will have lots of hunger and free time to ruminate on how hungry they are.

😂 🤣

Google makes the picture look way rosier than my anecdotal opinion.

I came here to post this article. Glad I searched before posting. Dear Costco, please fuck the Trump administration anally with the barbed wire wrapped dildo of courtroom justice.

What makes you believe this?

I also get that some people learn better by hearing things verbally as opposed to seeing/reading information. I don't mind clarification call backs, as in, a person leads the conversation with, "This is what I read, am I understanding it correctly?" It's the calls where it's clear there was no effort to even skim the original communication that make me want to flip my desk.
