I can’t help with approaching your sister, but you very obviously did nothing wrong. It’s not even approaching inappropriate from your end. From what I’ve seen, it’s pretty common for someone in your sisters situation to try and put the blame on you instead of her husband. I don’t know why.

Anecdotally, I watch reels on Instagram (i know) and the vast majority of meme pages that it shows me are the exact same setup around a slightly different premise, with the same purchased comments pinned from the same accounts or the accounts comment saying something like they’re too broke for paid comments please like.

80% is probably high but I wouldn’t be that surprised.

I vaguely remember talk about companies like Google having software that fixes/writes code and that was ages before LLMs.

I think that reeses peanut butter cups aren’t very good. Make that political.

All of this existed (except the bit about nazi coins) already. There’s a legitimate use for crypto, to support something you use and (probably) enjoy, and you want them to remove it to set a good example?

Well stop it

I learned about kagi when I got here on Lemmy and I’ve been using it since. Sucks that it costs money but they’re not making money elsewhere, that i know of, so it can’t just be a loss leader and free.

Thank you, I didn’t know about aurora and I have a “work” profile on my phone to separate out a few apps using shelter, but i didn’t want to sign into Google play for updates.

How are Linux users handling software that doesn’t exist on Linux. For example I bought the affinity software (photo, designer, etc) and I’d rather not lose that to use gimp or something.

Mines -12% YTD. At least I’m not retiring anytime soon.

It’s a stretch, but i wonder if things like the onion, with us laughing at the insane stories has had any impact on the general reaction to what’s happening now. Like people don’t really care.

That’s what pushes it over into a threat I believe. Just using the other words would normally be fine and protected speech.

Every kid is dying around… 15 then I’d say.

Like the actual eggs? I would have to assume yes. That’s more material for sound to have to travel through.

I promise you, I would risk getting shot every day for a 10 million dollar salary. Many jobs are dangerous for very little pay, give me the cushiest job and maybe somebody murders me?

In general, the employer that purchased the insurance plan decided what they wanted the plan to cover. That’s why you can have great insurance plans when you’re in a union, for example. While for a bottom line, an insurance company wouldn’t want to pay claims, the people actually doing it each day are just following whatever plan guidelines they’re given. This death will do absolutely nothing.

Interesting, Rao’s became my favorite brand of jar sauce once I tried them. I wonder if the difference is mostly the sugar content. Expensive though.

Are you an illegal immigrant or otherwise ineligible to vote? How else would you be proving him right?

What stops them from just saying what people want to hear, then doing what their party wants? There’s no accountability because you wouldn’t know that the party that lied last election is saying the same thing this election.

There’s different teams doing different types of work.

Like the claim system might have it setup so X codes in Y situations can’t be automated. Then someone looks at the claim, determines based on their written guidelines that this one needs to be reviewed so they look to see if there are notes attached. If there aren’t they request the notes, maybe by sending a letter. If there are, they send it to the team that reviews notes and makes these decisions. Those people probably also have written guidelines on what is allowed or not and if it’s more complicated they (should) have someone qualified that can review it. Then the claim is probably sent back to the other team saying “Hey, deny that code and allow this code”, where they then just do whatever that says.

They probably also have situations where X code in Y situation is “never” allowed and the first people reviewing it just always deny it. Then, as mentioned elsewhere here, the provider has to resubmit it and then it’s allowed on “appeal” by another team. This brother you mentioned is probably doing very little decision making beyond applying already decided guidelines to each claim, if he even processes them.
