You don't have to debate anybody if you're not here to do that you can just ignore anybody bringing that energy
In retrospect it's weird that even pre-Obamacare I only had this problem on 1099 but when I was W2 I could hop on the employer's major insurer no questions asked. Not sure how the actuarial math mathed behind the scenes.
tfw you want to start arguing with chatgpt halfway through a long response so you write down what you want to say then go back and impatiently read the remainder
The search for the ultimate meaning of it all may be a legitimate pursuit but I am discovering it's possible to confuse it for the search for the much more local meaning of all your longstanding psychological hangups.
Beginning to suspect a lot of people who think they need to find the former really need to find the latter.
You spend a suspiciously large amount of time on here for somebody who likes to talk about attachment
Again my only contribution to DST discourse is if we make DST permanent we need to rotate all remaining analog clocks 30 degrees to the left and start calling 1:00 noon
