| Topic | The Walking Dead died when *spoilers* |
| Twin3Turbo 01/12/22 8:57:49 AM #67 | Ive always maintained that both the show and the comic went downhill once Negan was introduced. I liked everything up to his initial introduction and epic Lucille scene. Everything after was meh. I stopped watching the show when they defeated Negan. I stopped reading the comic midway through the next arc I believe. The comic right after where Rick accidentally killed Sherry. The one where Negan defended Rick for that. That was the last comic I read. --- https://i.imgur.com/PHWbltB.gifv |

| Twin3Turbo 01/06/22 4:55:44 AM #14 | Also, this set up is actually not that uncommon, although it probably is for a mall. Its actually the set up that lots of buildings in a large downtown area would have. I knew a guy that worked in downtown Dallas and had to pay for his own parking to go to work. I agree that its BS --- https://i.imgur.com/PHWbltB.gifv |
| Topic | Mall in San Jose to start charging employees $40 a month for parking. |
| Twin3Turbo 01/06/22 4:46:36 AM #13 | If not purchased by the employer, individual employees may purchase the passes themselves. If Im reading this right, the mall itself is not providing free parking, but most likely the vast majority of the employers inside the mall would buy parking validation and therefore their actual employees would indeed have free parking. That being said, there could obviously be some crappy employers that dont purchase validation, but I would guess that they would be relatively few.. --- https://i.imgur.com/PHWbltB.gifv |

Like, if a patient came in and refused to let me weigh them, could that potentially leave me liable in some way if they have medical issues down the line? Would it be in my best interest to drop them for my own protection? --- https://i.imgur.com/PHWbltB.gifv |

| Twin3Turbo 12/08/21 9:44:30 AM #12 | PoundGarden posted... I will never understand watching someone else play a gameBy and large I just have it on as background noise during the day. That being said, I like to see how people play the games that I enjoy. Its always interesting to me the different decisions that they make vs what I make. Also I like to see how people react to certain scenes in different games when they are playing it for the first time. Also I just think that the strategies and shortcuts that people use while speed running are fascinating in general. --- |
| Topic | One of my coworkers just straight up left |
| Twin3Turbo 12/08/21 9:41:26 AM #5 | Years and years ago I worked in the produce section of a grocery store. The guy that was hired mainly to bring the product in from the daily truck deliveries and put it all away (a very annoying, physical and tiring job that had to be done mostly in cold temperatures) quit in the middle of his shift one day. The look on his face as he was walking out has always stuck with me. I didnt realize that he was walking out at that moment, I just thought he was going on break or something. Didnt realize that his facial expression was one of a guy that was done with that BS. --- |
| Topic | Texas Vet MURDERS his Chinese Wife 2 days after she signed up LIFE INSURANCE!! |
| Twin3Turbo 12/05/21 8:07:52 AM #36 | CableZL posted... Then may be confusing it with a grace period for suicide.I can only speak for the company that I worked for, which is considered to be one among the top 3 in the industry, and even that company only had a two year suicide grace period. I doubt many other companies would do much better than that to be honest. But this scenario would be different than that cause the husband is the both the cause of her death and the beneficiary. This would surely get filed under insurance fraud so the payout in this one would be tricky regardless of how long the policy was in force for. --- |

| Twin3Turbo 12/05/21 4:51:55 AM #14 | The girl I dated for my last two years in high school (over 15 years ago) just had her third son about a month ago. She does hair for a living and does pretty well for herself in that regard. I last saw and hung out with her with my brother, bar hopping about four years ago and not too long after that, she met her current fianc. Im happy for her. --- |
| Topic | Texas Vet MURDERS his Chinese Wife 2 days after she signed up LIFE INSURANCE!! |
| Twin3Turbo 12/05/21 4:40:07 AM #33 | Dat_Cracka_Jax posted... I don't know where you guys are getting this information, but it is flat out wrong. The companies we worked with in my 6 years in an insurance business covered you from date of the application.Same. I was wondering where people were getting that from cause every company I worked with (one main very large company plus a few others from time to time when the large one wouldnt underwrite specific clients) as well covered you from the moment you signed the application AND completed the physical. Even before they finished actually underwriting/processing it all. If there is some company out there that only enforces policies 6 months post application, Id have to imagine that that company is not reputable AT ALL. But then again given how regulated the insurance business is, Im not sure thats even possible. --- |
| Topic | Texas Vet MURDERS his Chinese Wife 2 days after she signed up LIFE INSURANCE!! |
| Twin3Turbo 12/04/21 7:14:36 AM #24 | indica posted... Does this happen frequently?Frequently might not be the best word but its bound to happen to you or another agent that you know at some point if you are in the business long enough. For example I saw a scenario where a woman literally had just signed the paperwork and did the physical and died in a car wreck on the way home. We still underwrote the case and since she would have been covered otherwise, we still enforced the policy and then paid the full death benefit out to her family, without a fight. That being said, I never personally saw a case where one spouse killed another, With the killer spouse being the beneficiary. So this scenario would be more tricky. I can guarantee that the killer spouse wont get the money although its possible that either her family will get it (if she had contingent beneficiaries) or her estate. However I would not be surprised at all if the company did not pay out in this scenario because there are clauses for foul play and what not in the contract. That being said, insurance companies are more likely to payout in scenarios like this if the policy was enforced long enough. For example, the company I worked for would not payout if you committed suicide within 2 years of the policy being enforced. After the two years though, they would pay, without a fight. --- |

| Twin3Turbo 12/04/21 6:53:49 AM #21 | monkmith posted... pretty sure most life insurance plans do not immediately start covering, at least for the full amount.This is not true actually. With any reputable life insurance company, you are covered from the moment you sign all the paperwork and do your physical/ health test. At this point during underwriting you are covered, and they will still go through the underwriting process as if you are still alive. If you would have been approved if you were alive, your family will get the payout. Source: Working 3 years in the life insurance business and seeing this type of scenario playing out on more than one occasion. Now, where this scenario is different is that he is the one that killed her and he was also the beneficiary. So no, in this case the payout would most likely not happen unless she had contingent beneficiaries for the money to be paid to. But I would still be surprised if it happened. --- |
| Topic | Out of all religions, Buddhism is the one that makes more sense to me. |
| Twin3Turbo 11/25/21 10:53:51 PM #33 | This is a post I saved on Reddit from a long while back, but it pretty much sums up my thoughts: Don't make the naive mistake of romanticizing "eastern" religion. Monotheist god or no, Buddhism is full of spirits, demons, godlings, or whatever you want to call the "evil spirits" in Buddhist hell. It is not "atheistic." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhist_deities Its conclusions are based on the same magical thinking as any religion, and its followers can be just as wacky and extreme, even to murder for religion (Myanmar). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magical_thinking People in "the west" idolize this "not a religion" religion because they have no direct experience with it and its just as fundy and flaky followers, and all the other negative baggage that any western religion has. Yes, there is proselytism too. The newer sects have the same door-to-door routine as JWs, and use entrapment tactics where they invite you to dinner or something (always outnumbering you) without telling you that halfway through the meal they are going to pull out pamphlets and make their sales pitches. Old sects make money from being one of the few places you can have a grave, which is expensive. If you want a non-supernatural religion, I think you don't know what religion is. Gods are irrelevant; they are a product of that world view. Magical/wishful thinking (or "faith") is the defining characteristic. As a whole? It's wholly made-up viral nonsense just like any other magical thinking. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Buddhism Yes, there is this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secular_Buddhism but it only exists as an attempt at "safe religion" by wannabe atheists who really miss their magic, because the wishful thinking is still all there. You may disagree, that's fine, but in my 30+ years in Japan, I have never seen a Buddhist sect without its supernatural trappings or a Buddhist who doesn't believe in the afterlife/reincarnation and spirits. Zen is not free from this magical thinking either. It is my humble opinion that if you are atheist solely because you do not believe in gods you are missing the point. Yes, that is "what is in the dictionary," but is the worship of a god the only criticism you have of religion? If so, fine, I suppose. But isn't that just a minor technicality? Why is a deva OK but a god not? --- |

Is patting him on the back and sending him back into the world without even a counseling session the right thing to do?I definitely think he needs some long term therapy. Number090684 posted... The dad was a scumbag but that's why the cops exist. Haul his ass back in the umpteenth time. Don't kill him unless you are currently the victim. The kid committed premeditated murder and got away with it, so I would not be surprised if he resorts to vigilante justice down the line and does it again.You are legally allowed to kill in defense of others if its self defense and the situation calls for it. tremain07 posted... Wonder if he'd be getting all this sympathy and public support if he wasn't white.Hed definitely be getting it from me. --- |

| Topic | Pitbulls attack 68 year old man, saved by neighbors |
| Twin3Turbo 09/05/21 6:11:17 PM #37 | About a month ago I was walking down the street minding my own businesses and I notice to the left a bunch of dogs were barking. Four dogs were behind a fence in their backyard barking at..you guessed it, a pitbull in their driveway that was also barking at them. I immediately stood still for about 5 seconds wondering if it was going to notice me. About 5 seconds later it turned around (I think because the 4 dogs started barking at me in addition to barking at it) and then the damn thing immediately started chasing me. Unprovoked of course. I got away unscathed but I got lucky. Im a full grown relatively athletic and able bodied adult and also happened to be paying attention. I shudder to think about if a kid just playing around or some lesser abled bodied person had been walking by instead. Fuck pitbulls. --- |

[citation needed]https://res.mdpi.com/d_attachment/ijerph/ijerph- 18-06085/article_deploy/ijerph-18-06085-v2.pdf (there is a break about halfway in the link above, connect it) Pretty much littered throughout that study shows that men/boys spend significantly more time playing games than women/girls, the only place where its more or less equal is phone games. Which is a whole different animal for a variety of reasons. Study also shows that men are more likely spend more time into adulthood playing and link friendships and what not more so through gaming. Cant quite link the direct parts because Im on phone but just skim. Now does that that necessarily answer the question of men are more likely to be gamers as the poster you quoted stated, no ( really dont feel like getting into a useless argument about that constitutes a gamer) But it definitely gives insight as to why people consider gaming to more associated with men than women. https://mashable.com/archive/astrology-women Literally just type into Google which gender believes in astrology more and you will find article after article, study after study showing how women believe in it more. As well as how astrology is far more marketed towards women these days, etc. Also the above link shows Pew research data that confirms that there is indeed a notable gender divide, favoring women. --- |
