  • I’m all for the camera bump. I can lay my phone on my desk and it’s slightly tilted towards me so I can read notifications without having to move my head directly above it.

    Also, while holding the phone, i can use a finger under the bump for stability and to keep it from sliding down. I don’t use a case, and all these glass backed phones can be a bit slick.

    All praise the camera bump overlords! \[T]/



  • We have waiting times too, the more elective it is the longer it is.

    For my yearly checkup, the first time I went, their first availability was 3 months later. It’s the same time every year now because I book next years appointment at each visit.

    I thought I needed a CPAP, I had to wait a week to get the home sleep study equipment and then two more weeks to meet with the doctor. I had a copay of $50 with that doctor but had to buy the CPAP for about $800

    I scheduled a vasectomy and it took 3 months for the consult and another 6 for the procedure and it cost $750 out of pocket.

    I pay $350/no for my insurance plan which has now has no copays and no coinsurance until I reach my yearly deductible of $3500 (which means I pay 100% of all medical costs before my insurance does anything) and my employer covers about $300/mo. So $7800/yr in total to basically just have protection in case a major accident happens.


  • Now I may be wrong, but the rulings on sodomy or marital rape weren’t rulings that overturned past supreme Court rulings. And a future supreme Court shouldn’t be able to overturn citizens united. Congress would need to pass a law to overturn citizens united.

    It’s like roe v wade. I’m pretty sure the roe ruling wasn’t specifically about abortion, it was about the people’s right to get an abortion because they have a right to privacy versus the government’s interest.

    How can one supreme Court roster determine roe was a violation of the 14th amendment and another roster rule it wasn’t? That just incentives a political supreme Court. Roe shouldn’t have been overturned, Congress should have had the burden of modifying the 14th amendment so that roe could be struck down.

    I bet the justices are communicating with interested parties to let them know which rulings they now have the majority to overturn. Like a “hey bud, you should challenge the Chevron ruling now that we have a majority, and when it gets here, we’ll get rid of that one too”
