    So tone deaf it's almost a dog whistle

  • We just changed insurance and were able to get through with one provider that valued preventative care more, but our new insurance company is a complete pain in the ass. And the person in my family dealing with the insurance company actually works for the company and knows all the ins and outs.

    They even give their own employees crap policies.

  • Yeah, but the problem is, if tests / labs show the precursor indicators for those diseases, and you have a family history, they’ll still deny until you actually have the something like a heart attack or stroke.

    GLP-1s are the hot new thing, but it’s pretty common for insurance companies to deny expensive preventative care, even after all other avenues have been thoroughly explored.

  • There is a lot of crap that they’re able to instantly deny through your plan’s terms and conditions.

    It’s worth reading the plan summary of what won’t be covered, even if it’s prescribed treatment. Some of the shit that’s hidden in there is fucked up.

    This year someone in my family started to have to pay out of pocket for their GLP1s because their diseases didn’t progress far enough for the treatment to be covered. They’d rather you hurry up and die than pay for expensive drugs that keep you alive for longer.

  • The algo id why people like TikTok, and targeting is key to making that work.

    You can ban micro targeting people to sneak in political propaganda, but it’s too hard to detect. Which is why they passed a law that removes the party that would benefit from the political propaganda.

  • The worry with TikTok is around wiretapping, it’s around collecting micro targeting data, the using that data to target people with politically censored content streams and or propaganda.

  • Microsoft does the same crap with Office 365’s apps that support both a personal and corporate account. I have to authenticate with my company if I want to use outlook to access my personal account. If you have multiple accounts, and one is corporate, your IT team can enable enterprise privacy crap that sits on top of the entire client, including personal accounts.

    The obvious workaround is to not use outlook for personal email, but still, WTF.

  • This is some RFK level bullshit designed to make people question safe medicine.

    Mods, yank this.

    Yes, companies who make drugs pay for studies to test whether or not their drugs are safe and effective. They’re fucking supposed to.

    In order for a drug to be legally used, pharmaceutical companies pay for trials and studies about their drug, and have those trials and studies vetted by multiple independent governmental regulatory bodies around the world.

    Many antidepressants are old as fuck, have been studied to high hell, have generics that no longer produce large financial incentives, and have been independently vetted by regulators around the world.
