This is clearly a scam but will it still be a scam when actual artists start doing this with real songs? The answer may surprise you! yes

Maybe it’s like punk musicians who say they wanna go fast and die young, these guys just want to have a good time and accept they’ll be sued into oblivion, they’re just riding that high. That stupid, annoying high.

Pain of Mind posted:I always wondered how the gig economy was masking unemployment numbers. Sure, it is technically a job, but it does not really seem like it should count when you get almost no benefits and you need to work 16 hours a day to get a small wage while massively depreciating what is most likely your most valuable asset. There's some pretty huge problems lurking over the next few decades with it too. Guess what happens when your employer doesn't pay FICA taxes for you? You have to pay both shares when you file self-employment income. How many gig economy workers do you think will pay those taxes? Guess what happens when you don't pay those taxes and become disabled, or years later reach retirement age? You either don't get Social Security, or get an insultingly low amount.

Yeah social security will be around when you retire, unless the US government completely collapses. Which, sure, is totally possible. But SS's oft-reported insolvency is actually just the day it has to pay out more than it takes in. The possible fixes for this have been obvious for decades, but that will be the date on which Congress will be forced to pick one:
The "reduce benefits" line is the worst-case scenario, and the worst of the projected post-insolvency years pays out at least 75% of currently-obligated amounts. Medicare is in much worse shape and a much bigger problem.

I hate, hate, hate cleaning up and pulling the "we need to remove these kids" trigger on cases but holy poo poo the office I got this case from seriously hosed up and didn't do poo poo. I get the staffing issues they had, I genuinely do, but leaving poo poo alone for 2 months on a case, closing it and then going "oh yeah you should remove" on a staffing call another 2 months later when it inevitable reopened is infuriating.

I tried to reset it myself but couldn't, mostly because it didn't hurt much on its own but moving it was pure agony so I thought gently caress it I need to get xrays anyway and wussed out to just let the doctor do it They also prescribed me 600 mg tablets of ibruprofen and considering the ones I have at home are 200mg I wonder if any of our forum medical professionals can tell me why I should fill the prescription instead of just taking three Intruder fucked around with this message at 07:14 on Feb 2, 2022 |

My best beer league injury story doesn't come from something that happened to me thankfully, but from someone I was playing with. Hockey, a guy's tooth got chipped badly. We happened to have a dentist on the team and he just took him over to the office after the game (which was scheduled at 10:45 pm because that's how hockey works here or at least worked at the time). Quick and easy as far as dentistry can go, he was fixed early in the morning.

Grittybeard posted:My best beer league injury story doesn't come from something that happened to me thankfully, but from someone I was playing with. My best-worst leg (and elbow) injury is from my senior year of high school. I wasn't feeling right, but Coach Lou insisted that I go out for the day, because we were facing another school for a playoff spot. That pitching coach would have insisted on going out even if you were in a wheelchair. Third inning, I came out, got the first batter, struck him out. But I could tell that I was hanging my curveball. I shook off the catcher, Matty knew I was off. Coach Lou came out to the mound and asked what the gently caress I was doing, buying time? I said, "No, Coach, I just don't have it in my arm." Dude grabbed me and said, "Tim, If I send a signal for you to throw a curve or a slider, then you throw that goddamn pitch." Very next pitch, he called a slider, Matty gave me the signal, I sighed and nodded. Left knee came down and I heard and felt a pop, then felt a pop and an explosion in my right elbow. Collapsed immediately. Turned out I had ripped my ACL, MCL, meniscus and UCL. Edit: The guys in the bullpen vaulted over the fence immediately and one of the guys, John C, looked back at Coach Lou as though to say, "No, you don't get to touch him." They were surrounding me until the ambo arrived. Timby fucked around with this message at 08:59 on Feb 2, 2022 |

I also did the exact same thing to my pinky in 8th grade gym class, we were playing soccer that day and someone booted the ball straight on into my pinky. After going “what the fuuuck” it popped back straight and the gym teacher sent the kid who kicked the ball with me to the nurses office. He asked what happened and I tried to like physically mimic what way my pinky was pointed and accidentally popped it back out to a 90 degree angle again

If it's legal get a cheap electric vape and it'll help calm you down. Edibles are also pretty easy to work with when you figure out dosages and what you actually want. I was mostly joking because Dr. Swickles is a medical professional, and while all the medical professionals I know light up, it's not necessarily the norm.
