I think you're missing the point.

Re: The Refuge of the Toads
Trump doesn't work for any globalists and he's not bought out by any corporations that benefit from globalism. That's the thing. They'd have hated him just as bad if he'd been a liberal. There's almost no such thing as democrat or republican any more. The globalists are using a mix of left and right techniques, mostly far left. Perhaps a new revised attempt at what the ex-KGB agent in the video below talks about (Yuri Bezmenov AKA Tomas Schuman). The video is from 1984, but might still apply in some ways. In another video he said about how part of the demoralizing stage involves setting groups of people against each other such as men vs women, gays vs straights, etc, so it seems we've recently been in that stage this round of things (or an extended round since the 80s?).Shatterface wrote:Even as conspiracy theories go, it makes no sense.

Note his stuff is old, and in another video he mentions how the demoralization stage can be nipped in the bud with religion. I disagree, since it's way too late for any country of people to all agree on religion, but maybe his idea of a cohesive group belief can still apply if one considers NON-magical beliefs. Like a strong pride in some of the basic freedoms that North America has (the stuff the left hates and which are threatened) I think the Trump fans all have that pride.

Also, one of the later stages of communization that the guy talks about is after the stage where there's the internal conflict of the groups fighting with each other, the plan is that it is to get so bad that people in the country consider the communization measures the lesser of evils. They can come right in and 'rescue' everyone without any overt brutal force.

2. He's a leading player in the monopoly games, and has just as much interest as any of them in perpetuating the plundering and pillaging.
3. His candidacy could very well be a way of distracting and diverting white men from leading an armed revolution, in case defaming and demoralizing isn't enough to prevent it.

Not a chance. Obama has nothing to offer that either of the two upcoming candidates can't offer. All off the effort, people and dollars put into the election. All of the people and staff and policies set up to ensure the candidates are prepared to take office on day one.

Re: The Refuge of the Toads
I don't understand what issues people have with the “black lives matter” slogan, which quite clearly is meant as black lives matter, too. It stands in context of the perception that racism has deadly consequences and people don't care enough. Now I know the full picture is more complicated, though — all things considered — it's an adequate slogan.
I also don't get, why people seemingly cannot do their thing. Yes, it was stupid when BLM took over other parades and gatherings etc. But that cannot be a reason to waste energy on opposing them at every turn. This is where I understand that the gesture of eagerly argueing over everything looks like a form of racism, too. I know there is this instinct that One Must Argue When Someone is Wrong On The Internet, especially when sorted to a disliked group like SJWs, but some Non-SJW seem to get too close to the Alt-Right.
It is also entirely adequate when people who are affected by Condition X get together and make a “Condition X Only” club, where they can discuss things without that people who are not affected won't disturb then. When it so happens that Condition X is sexism, or racism you get women only or POC only groups — again, I fail to see the problem. I know that often times Safe Spaces are misused, e.g. non-context based ideological rooms. But that must be assessed per case, and not be confused like those YouTubers did in their questions. Also, many of their questions are dumb.

However much leading players in global monopoly games might compete with each other, economically or even militarily, and however much they might differ from each other in the prejudices and passions they appeal to for popular support, they all have a common interest in perpetuating the plundering and pillaging, and I think that will continue to ravage more and more people at higher and higher economic levels, because the demand for human and natural resources for building their monuments and toys is increasing and/or because the resources from the lower levels are leveling off.
I don't see any reason for thinking that Trump will be an exception to that.

Re: The Refuge of the Toads
No, the terrible racists who push this stuff aren't saying "Black Lives Matter, Too." Try posting "White Lives Also Matter" on your Facebook page. Those who don't unfriend you will deluge you with poorly thought-through cartoons about how if you see a problem and someone else is trying to solve it, you should nag them into submission instead of trying to solve it yourself.Aneris wrote:I don't understand what issues people have with the “black lives matter” slogan, which quite clearly is meant as black lives matter, too.

Re: The Refuge of the Toads
I skipped forward a couple of pages to find out if Phil is okay - glad to hear he is!!!
Now some free advice (worth what you pay for it?) on com's issue:
But there are 2 ways to get care at reduced cost (possibly even no cost, if your income is low enough):
1) "Charity Care" - free or discounted care provided by hospitals, including for emergency room care. In some states, it's mandated by law that hospitals have a process for determining who qualifies. I can't find info that that's the case in Georgia, but in Atlanta Emory offers it...however, a person might have to ASK to be considered for Charity Care (that part's not clear to me from their info). The care is the same. The discount isn't at the time of charges or billing, it's a write-off or partial write-off of the bill that accrued. It *might* also cover medications at the hospital's outpatient pharmacy.
From that link:
2) The other approach is a free or sliding-scale clinic - "Obamacare" boosted the federal funds for "federally qualified health centers" (FQHC) even in states that didn't expand Medicaid. They offer primary care and many have been able to expand services in other areas (dental, mental health) in the past few years. Directory of FHQCs in Georgia is here: https://npidb.org/organizations/ambulat ... f0400x/ga/ - however for an urgent condition, someone who isn't already followed for care in an FHQC would probably not be able to get in quickly enough.
There are also free clinics but they tend to be scattered all over and operate maybe 1 part-day or evening per week, often (fwiw) affiliated with churches.
Now some free advice (worth what you pay for it?) on com's issue:
comhcinc wrote:Arrrgh. So I am laying here with an awful infected area (I will happily accept any of you doctor type pms) and watching house on my laptop. I switch over to the pit for a quick lolz and more attacks in France.
Fucks.
Yes, it's very expensive in the US to go in for medical care, emergency room or otherwise, the way people with insurance can.comhcinc wrote:free thoughtpolice wrote: Can't you go to emerg and claim poverty? I thought they can't turn you away?
At any rate, that doesn't sound like something that Jebus usually heals (doesn't sound like leprosy or blindness) and the sicker you get the more work you miss and the more expensive it is to fix.
Take that advice for what it's worth. I am not a doctor, have not played one on TV, and have never watched House.
Doesn't exactly work that way. I can go to a hospital emergency room. They will treat me without payment but I will be billed. Probably be couple thousand dollars. Then most likely they will give me some Rx which again cost money say couple hundred which I will not be able to pay for.
At the end of the day I will be deeper in debt and in about the same place medically.
But there are 2 ways to get care at reduced cost (possibly even no cost, if your income is low enough):
1) "Charity Care" - free or discounted care provided by hospitals, including for emergency room care. In some states, it's mandated by law that hospitals have a process for determining who qualifies. I can't find info that that's the case in Georgia, but in Atlanta Emory offers it...however, a person might have to ASK to be considered for Charity Care (that part's not clear to me from their info). The care is the same. The discount isn't at the time of charges or billing, it's a write-off or partial write-off of the bill that accrued. It *might* also cover medications at the hospital's outpatient pharmacy.
From that link:
... It is the policy of Emory Healthcare to provide emergency or other medically necessary care, without discrimination, to all patients regardless of ability to pay. As stated in Section 2 below, a patient is not required to complete an application to be considered for eligibility for charity care.
A patient is eligible for charity care consideration based upon meeting certain income eligibility criteria, which is derived from the Federal Poverty Income Guidelines, which are updated annually.
A patient qualifying for charity care will not be charged more for emergency or other medically necessary care than the amounts generally billed to individuals who have insurance covering such care. Charity adjustments may be applied to approved accounts for uninsured and under-insured patients, based on the patient’s total family income and the patient’s cooperation in applying for Medicaid or third party payment eligibility.
Policy Details
1. Charity Adjustments for Uninsured and Under-insured Patients
1.1 Indigent Care - Family income is equal to or less than 125% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines – 100% charity care adjustment
1.2 Charity Care
1.2.1 Uninsured patients (i.e., those patients without third party payer coverage for health care services) qualify for a charity adjustment on a sliding scale as follows:
a. Family income of less than or equal to 200% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines qualifies for a 100% charity adjustment.
b. If the family income is 201% - 400% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines but the charges exceed 25% of the annual family income, the account qualifies for a 100% catastrophic charity adjustment.
c. Family income between 201% and 400% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines qualifies for a 50% charity adjustment.
d. Family income of greater than 400% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines may qualify for a 35% uninsured discount (not charity) when payment arrangements are established.
This discount does not apply to elective procedures, market or retail-priced services, or procedures that are already discounted.
1.2.2 Under-insured patients (i.e., those patients with insufficient third party payer coverage for health care services)...
2. Income and Asset Verification
Emory Healthcare does not require an application to screen a patient for eligibility for charity care. Emory Healthcare utilizes a major third-party vendor to screen every patient through an electronic verification of credit records to determine family income and propensity to pay. At its discretion, Emory Healthcare may also use the following methods:
a. Payroll check stub or current year W-2 form
b. Federal and state income tax returns
c. Medicare and Medicaid information with regards to qualifications
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a patient may request a re-evaluation of his or her status for charity care at any time. Emory Healthcare shall provide such patient with the list of information noted above which may be provided, contact information of staff who can provide an individual with information about and assistance with the Charity Care Policy and the evaluation process and information on applying for Medicaid.
That'd give you time to set up a Patreon :|4. Billing and Collection
Emory Healthcare management has developed policies and procedures for internal and external collection practices that take into account the extent to which the patient qualifies for charity, a patient's good faith effort to apply for a governmental program, and a patient's good faith effort to comply with any payment agreements with Emory Healthcare. For patients who qualify for financial assistance and who are cooperating in good faith to resolve their outstanding bills, Emory Healthcare may offer extended payment plans, will not impose extraordinary collection actions such as wage garnishments, liens on primary residences, or actions that force bankruptcy, and will not send unpaid bills to outside collection agencies.
2) The other approach is a free or sliding-scale clinic - "Obamacare" boosted the federal funds for "federally qualified health centers" (FQHC) even in states that didn't expand Medicaid. They offer primary care and many have been able to expand services in other areas (dental, mental health) in the past few years. Directory of FHQCs in Georgia is here: https://npidb.org/organizations/ambulat ... f0400x/ga/ - however for an urgent condition, someone who isn't already followed for care in an FHQC would probably not be able to get in quickly enough.
There are also free clinics but they tend to be scattered all over and operate maybe 1 part-day or evening per week, often (fwiw) affiliated with churches.

Thank you.Aneris wrote:It is also entirely adequate when people who are affected by Condition X get together and make a “Condition X Only” club, where they can discuss things without that people who are not affected won't disturb then. When it so happens that Condition X is sexism, or racism you get women only or POC only groups — again, I fail to see the problem. I know that often times Safe Spaces are misused, e.g. non-context based ideological rooms. But that must be assessed per case ...

Re: The Refuge of the Toads
I've been listening to a highly technical podcast about Ketogenic diet, with physician Dom D'Agostino.
The medical jargon is far beyond my education. I googled the doctor, who eats over 300 grams of Fat per day, to see what he looks like...

Re: The Refuge of the Toads
I'm relieved that PZ wrote 45 words on Nice and only 18 in the immediate followup post on Pokemon. It's gotta be at least twice as important right?
Alas comments are running 12 for Pokemon to 15 for Nice.
I guess people are redrafting their thoughts to ensure a proper condemnation is delivered on ISLAMIC terrorism.

You don't understand it because no one is against the slogan.Aneris wrote:I don't understand what issues people have with the “black lives matter” slogan, which quite clearly is meant as black lives matter, too. It stands in context of the perception that racism has deadly consequences and people don't care enough. Now I know the full picture is more complicated, though — all things considered — it's an adequate slogan.
People pop in with "All Lives Matter" because they come from the unifying Martin Luther King school of race relations where we are all in this together and they are trying to relate. And of course, they get called racist for saying such a terrible thing.
And of course there are the people who are not against the slogan, but are against the actions and apparent racism of the BLM group.
Of course they can do their thing to a point. But much of their thing is running around making sure people can't do their own thing different from them, and they demand you make whatever you were doing all about them and demand you emotionally agree with their cause and join them, or else you are a racist.Aneris wrote:I also don't get, why people seemingly cannot do their thing. Yes, it was stupid when BLM took over other parades and gatherings etc. But that cannot be a reason to waste energy on opposing them at every turn. This is where I understand that the gesture of eagerly argueing over everything looks like a form of racism, too. I know there is this instinct that One Must Argue When Someone is Wrong On The Internet, especially when sorted to a disliked group like SJWs, but some Non-SJW seem to get too close to the Alt-Right.
