If you're a writer/other creator in the United States, consider creating an LLC for your business and then signing up for a local area Chamber of Commerce. Many of them have health insurance plans that pool their members and members of other CoCs to create insurance efficiencies relative to ACA.

Yeah, my video store visits went different.

1. Movie i wanted was out of stock.
2. Autistic decision paralysis at the 100s of movies I wasn't wanting.
3. Pick something close cause I got told times up
4. No snacks.

Ludicrous take to say nobody misses the video store. Going to my local video store as a teenager was so fucking good. They had a five movies for five days for five dollars deal that was pretty much the greatest thing ever and a super stoned clerk who had seen every movie known to man

"Superman, Batman, and the rest of the DC gang are powerless to protect you against diseases like polio, measles and rubella.

These diseases can cripple and even kill.

But they can be easily prevented with painless vaccinations."

[New York City Council, 1980]

With all their super-powers, Superman, Batman, and the rest of the DC gang are powerless to protect you against diseases like polio, measles and rubella.
These diseases can cripple and even kill.
But they can be easily prevented with painless vaccinations. In most states (including New York), it's the law: NO SHOTS? NO SCHOOL! In New York City, call the Immunization Hotline at 349-2664. Outside New York City, call your local Health Department
Stay Healthy!

Just printed out another 30 ICE whistles; might need to tag in someone with more consistent dexterity to do keychains or lanyards for them, but it's a great start

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.

There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.

Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

TURN IT OFF.

Now's the time to call up Visa/MC to ask 'hey, how come you guys will pay for ChatGPT and Twitter subs but I can't buy certain games off of Steam?' Because I frankly would LOVE an answer to that...

Sam Altman suggests ChatGPT is cannibalizing your fanfic and erotica to make its own clanker porn, rolling out this December.

ChatGPT just got filthy after new update lets it talk dirty to you
