USA accurate. Even more so - healthcare insurance picks your surgery center and specialists; even if it is 100+ miles from your home. Even if both are already IN your hometown. Even if you have used the local ones in the recent past. If insurance says the long distance ones are $1 cheaper to use, you are doing a 200 mile roundtrip for an eye checkup.

When you choose an advertising contract guy but he works in Australia. 🙃

Technically yes. The other hand speaks of Instagram (and similar sites) toying the “walled garden” scenario. A lemmy sentiment holds lemmy users to “it’s better here, we should consume better also”.

IMHO, Instagram can loophole a “view on web instead” as they wish. But experience says Meta\Instagram continuously use harsh anti-adblocking tactics that are exhausting – pushing user-end people to do the bad stuff (installing).

The true source was a tv show. But someone found a youtube link to the exact video. A slight slight lesser evil 😉.

No worries. Gotta live carefree. It’s the illegal life for me.

Cool. Much appreciated.

Love using that phrase! It describes me perfectly. Lots of retinopathy, eyes have no lens, can’t have IOLs, vision is like better than one point\step away from 1\200 (the big E on the Snellen eye chart). Thus cannot legally apply for any disability pay. 😎

He had a valid prescription. He has glaucoma. PTSD, definitely – his ancestors caused the entire oil industry crisis.

An early-2000s talk radio host in consumer advocacy & economics coined the term, “death of the pricetag”. Big business will strategically hide the true $1-$9 hamburger excess cost and successful sell a $0.99 hamburger. It’s far worse today. Not just hiding cost across other menu items – they implement: peak\demand pricing, seasonal \holiday pricing, they barrow huge loans and hold debt, and the worse discharge\writeoff debts.

I love your comment because it still holds evermore true today. Who even has huge capital, huge advertising, on-call debt lawyers, and teams of accountants. The big businesses whom all are standardizing and normalizing these “strategies”. Leaving zero chance small business survival. And permits, rent, employee pay, tax, etc would be nominal instead of impossible.

Yup. Taurine for pep. Same reason they put it in cheap dog food.

Hoorah, er- um i meant, hoo-ha!

Cool. I thought there was more deep faking that didn’t look movie cannon.

Is this ai (generated\generative) or CG effects (green screen)?
