We love some good news to start the day
It’s free for users, though she might eventually charge for added services like faxing appeals.
She should sell the home addresses of health insurance executives.
And golf clubs. She should definitely sell golf clubs.
The smallest child's aluminum bats are much much more reliable for more than a single swing, and follow through and reset are magnitudes quicker.
I used to carry what I called a "cracker whacker," on food deliveries. It was a miniature Louisville Slugger baseball bat. I cut off the last ¼" and used a ⅓" drill bit to create a cavity inside. I then dropped in a 3.5 lb round bar of lead that had about 2" of room on one end to shift back and forth as you swung the bat. I then resealed the bat using the cap I took off, some wood epoxy and 4 finishing nails, just in case.
That thing would easily have shattered a kneecap if I had ever had to actually use it, rather than just brandishing it.
Well these days you should carry a baseball and a glove in your car/home, gives you plausible deniability.
While it sounds extremely effective, your cracker whacker sounds extremely felonious. :)

Jesus Christ dude, a Louisville Slugger by itself could shatter a kneecap

Unrelated fact, but on the topic of golf clubs, they are pretty slender. I think they may bend if you hit a large object with them.
That's why Casey Jones traded the golf club for a hockey stick in the first movie. At which point he opened a can of whoop ass all over the foot clan thugs.
Hehe her dog is a donut hole with a PhD.
I think the PhD may be honorary in Timbit's case. Though I suppose if she has a doctorate as well, she may have used him as a rubber duck, and therefore given him credit on her Doctorate Thesis, thereby granting him a doctorate as well? I dunno if that would work.
Gender affirming surgery can be the opposite of health care, supporting what neuro-diversity thinks it needs is often harmful to that individual. For example, you wouldn't prescribe unlimited sleep for someone with narcolepsy.
The states has bad healthcare but this is a misleading article, and not necessarily in support of patient health.
As someone with IH/N2 (idiopathic hypersomnia/narcolepsy type 2) extra sleep doesn't do shit.

I've heard that there are lots of ways to help you take an infinitely long nap.

Okay, i happen to actually have narcolepsy & be gender nc, and have a trans partner, i feel like i can speak with some authority on this.
Gender affirming surgery can be the opposite of health care
Ever surgery can be, but gender affirming care is one of the least regretted surgeries in existence. By opening this way, you frame the argument as different for trans healthcare. Its not.
We're also not children. Dont infantilize trans people. We have the same right to make choices others don't understand, just like cis folks can.
And narcolepsy is a chronic inability to get delta wave sleep. Extra sleep is absolutely treatment. I can see what your getting at, but your choosing examples you don't understand and misinforming people.

An opinion that ignores all actual research.
Gender affirming surgery helps 99% of people who receive it! So sure, technically, there's a tiny minority who regret it. More people regret Lasik and boob jobs, should we ban those too? Many people regret a night out drinking, how about we ban that too. Drinking causes way more harm than giving estrogen or testosterone pills to folks.
On the other hand, I like that my friends have the freedom to express themselves any way they want. They aren't hurting anyone so let's let them be free to wear whatever clothes they want and take whatever hormones they want.
So join the side of American freedom and let's stop policing what clothes people wear or what name they use.

Here's your reminder about gender affirming treatments like testosterone pills and jawline surgery and hair transplants: Elon got all three
And i think he eats bulking powders enough for Arnold, but forgot the training.

Maybe take that transphobic take to a community that doesn't have LGBTQ+ resources as a pinned thread.
Could you please point out how their statement was transphobic? Basically, what they said is just that "gender affirming surgery can sometimes be harmful to health", and surely that's just a true statement, not even an opinion, really.
They are saying gender affirming healthcare is often harmful when the medical literature available says the exact opposite. What motivation do you think they have for misrepresenting available medical knowledge?
I didn't see them say "gender affirming surgery is often harmful", they said it can be harmful. Regarding "often", they said that "what neurodivergent people want is often hatful", which may be wrong, IDK, but is definitely not transphobic.
As for their motivation, we can't know. They didn't explicitly indicated and there's insufficient info to make assumptions.

Interesting idea, but I imagine it suffers from similar issues to writing legal opinions: by signing your name to it, you're swearing that it's all true. Given AI's propensity for making things up, you need to check everything.
I wouldn't be surprised if 'knowingly filing a false appeal' is a reason to boot you off the plan in the first place.
I wouldn’t be surprised if ‘knowingly filing a false appeal’ is a reason to boot you off the plan in the first place.
For that to be an issue you would have to "know" it was false.
You signed it, verifying that you knew what it entailed. That's what the comment was pointing out.
Usually when signing things off like this, it's affirming that you believe all statements to be true. They would have to prove you willingly lied, not that you were simply wrong, which is very difficult to prove legally.
That said, IANAL.

What's the legal code if you THINK something is true and you affirm it, but you are wrong. It can't be the same as lying since you thought it was true.
I really wonder what the law says on something like that.

It's still a lot easier to review and understand something you weren't able to write than to also write that same thing without knowing how to write it.
I think when you use AI to write the claim and there turn it to be errors even after you checked it, it could still be a case of negligence. Like, not that I think it necessarily should be, but I can see that one could make the argument.

You go human
Pictured: average Lemmy user.
I wish the average Lemmy user was writing open source tools that help people fight mega corps. That would be amazing!
might try that tbh, what're your ideas?
Same thing but to automatically send emails to your local political representative. Bonus points if I don't even have to know who it is

I’m not sure what you can do. But she wrote a cool tool that generates appeal letters automatically. Just find what is bothering you and work on it.
