Apa paper on medical billing and coding

So many numbers, so little time

2012.07.30 01:04 So many numbers, so little time

Many physicians, mid-level providers, practice managers, administrators, billers and front desk staff members have questions about coding. Today's demand for certified professional coders (CPCs) is growing as many jobs in the coding and billing field now require certification. Health care professionals involved in coding, compliance, billing, administration and reimbursement aspects of medicine should be certified as part of a compliance program.

Please help Karen

šŸšØšŸšØKaren is in critical condition šŸ™šŸ’”šŸ˜¢
Hunterā€™s Village posted this on their pages on Facebook and Instagram:
ā€œLittle girl Karen is in critical care, fighting for her life with an awful upper respiratory infection šŸ’”
You may recall we were able to save Karen's life this week after she found herself on the last chance list, and were fortunate to get her into immediate surgery to repair her large hernia. Sadly her healing process has had complications, as she started to show signs of an upper respiratory infection (URI) shortly after surgery, which progressed rapidly.
At only 4 years old, this poor girl has already pushed through major surgery, and is now fighting through this infection šŸ’”
While the total costs are still to be seen, we've spoken with the emergency clinic and are expecting at least a second night of care (if not more. This puts us at the high end, for at least $3300 in medical bills (estimate attached). We are committed to saving her life and giving her everything she needs to thrive ā¤ļøā€šŸ©¹
Between this emergency medical and the additional 15 dogs currently in rescue, our current medical costs are sky high. We appreciate any and all donations to help fund these emergent cases.
Thank you to our amazing village for making it possible to commit to these critical cases ā¤ļøā€šŸ©¹

2024.05.19 00:49 Mystic2288 [VA] [US] are we required to pay former assisted living facility, even if patient is discharged directly from hospital into long-term care nursing home?

Are we required to pay former assisted-living facility, even though discharged directly into long-term care nursing home?
A family member has gotten sick and has been living in an assisted-living facility for some months. I have recently gotten medical power of attorney. When I visited, I noticed that they were NOT taking good care of him and causing various issues, including no feeding for many hours (23 hours), not paying attention to his pain while urinating, or persistent coughs,
I wrote an email on May 13 to tell them of our intention to vacate but didnā€™t get a response. A few days ago they sent him to the emergency room of a hospital and heā€™s in the hospital being evaluated. Heā€™s lost a lot of functions and is completely paralyzed, so Iā€™m talking to a case manager tomorrow to discuss next steps.
The issue is we are looking to have the hospital discharge him into a long term care facility directly by private pay first and then apply for Medicaid long-term care. The question is: the current Assisted living facility sent us a bill for next month for $14,000 and they require a 30 day notice to exit. Are we supposed to pay this bill for June even when the current facility is unable to handle his care and he goes to a long-term care facility with the doctors orders?
Can we tell the facility that since the doctors will not allow him to go back there, we will not pay the next month bills ? (For example they do not know how to use Cough Assist; do not do IV antibiotics or a feeding tube or trach care which my family member needs. )
My family member has used up most of our life savings on this assisted living facility and some other treatments, which were not covered by Medicare or insurance.
Your expertise and advice will be much appreciated!

2024.05.19 00:24 Due_Pin2723 How/when did you become a fan of John Doggett?

This is my story: I occasionally watched the later seasons of the X-Files as a kid, because I was a fan of scientific fiction, under my constant pestering, my father would occasionally change the channel to the X-Files show when there was nothing else more interesting to him showing on TV. As a kid, I was focusing more on the stories than the relationship or the characters themselves. I did remember episode 1 of Season 8 and I never hated Doggett like many others did, because all what he presented to Scully about Mulder was back up by evidence (rental car receipts, medical reports, pre-made headstone). His talk about Mulder confiding other females in the building seemed to be from the rumors that he heard (I am sure someone saw Mulder kissed Pheobe Green and gazed at Diana). Since Mulder is not a particular popular agent in the building, I won't be surprised things got twisted when they reach Doggett. I just didn't understand why they found such an old actor to be the new male lead (I didn't know Robert Patrick, nor did I watch the Terminator, let alone #2). I just remembered he was very standard.
I did my complete watch in 2015, at 360p or 480p. I treated Doggett and Reyes as temporary placeholders in Mulder's absence and forgot about them. I was actually very fond of the relationship between Mulder and Scully. I was very moved by Scully's monologue in TrustNo1 in Season 9. I found that their relationship has sublimed to something higher without going through those earthly stuff like sex and marriage. Then I was disappointed that they had broken up in the beginning of Season 10 (didn't watch the second movie).
Due to the 30th anniversary of the X Files last year, I started my first rewatch in November 2023, at the Blu-ray quality. That makes all the difference (yes, I have poor eyesight). Knowing that M&S would going to break up at some point, when I rewatched Seasons 1-7, I was SAD and didn't understand (although I know that they ended up together again in Season 11). Then I understood when Doggett came along!!! He was very kind as shown in Without. He was just doing his job and got thrown into an unwilling partnership. He stole me at the end of Patient: he's such a perfect partner and a hero, and yet so humble: "I never see it as an option". He killed me in the scene of Roadrunners where he carried Scully on the bus, attempted to hotwire the bus in 60 seconds, cut up Scully's neck, squeezed out the slug, shot it, pointed the gun to the cult leader, carried Scully off the bus, then walked in the middle of the patrol cars. I think by about Medusa, I finally understood and let go of the sadness that M&S were going to break up. It was Doggett who made me understand what a perfect man is and how the relationship (including partnership) between M&S was dysfunctional.
It is not the physical appearance of John Doggett (or Robert Patrick) that attracts me, but it is Doggett's personality. He's just a perfect man! Indeed, Mulder fits more of my bill of physical attractiveness. The essence of humanity of Doggett was what got me. In Medusa, he wouldn't even abandon Bianco who knocked him out and infected him the contagion! He's sympathetic to the victims or people who suffer: he was the only one concerning the welfare of Anthony in the "Sunshine Day" when everyone was obsessed by his magic. He is pragmatic: To him, the "Truth" doesn't matter more than putting away the bad people so that there won't be any more future victims. Of course, his respect and suppressed, unconditional, and selfless love to Scully is extremely very moving.
Share your story: when and how you become a fan of John Doggett?

2024.05.19 00:15 Medium-Wing-4710 The harrowing experience of a cancer-surviving partner turned abuser

Over the course of my 4 year marriage to my partner, I have arrived at the position that I was abused, manipulated, and functionally enslaved to a mentally ill partner.
In simplest form, the progression is apparently observable. She was diagnosed with cancer in October of 2019 while we were engaged. Due to the diagnosis, we moved up our actual marriage date (our wedding was still set for mid-April) to December 1, 2019. Her surgery was December 13, 2019. In my compassion for her, I agreed to move our wedding date up to offset her anxiety around who would be responsible for her if things went south with her surgical treatment.
Our first month of marriage was straightforward; she was on pain meds recovering from surgery, so the main engagement that occurred was me walking her up and down the hospital hallway as she recovered and trying to meet her base physical needs of hygiene, food, and presence. We stayed in the hospital for 2-3 weeks (with recurring hospital visits for complications).
Quickly after we figured out our marital living situation in her small 3-bed apartment with 2 roommates, our relationship devolved. Specifically, she was irritable because of the pain she was in, causing her to lash out at me with regular frequency for small things. If I didnā€™t put clothes away in the right place, didnā€™t anticipate her needs (without her communicating them), or ate the wrong food in front of her she would shout at me and decry me for my thoughtlessness.
These small, critical engagements were wounding and created a distance between us ā€“ and there was no upside. She was never kind, never paid mind to needs I might have, and started down a path of cultivating a root of bitterness in her soul. She quickly revealed herself to be venomous, hateful, and vindictive when she felt like she was wronged ā€” and any observation of concern about our marriage resulted me in being accused of being mean or insensitive, even if I spent hours or days calculating the best way to share my concern (and I have a masterā€™s degree in communication where I focused in studying disagreement ā€” I know how to carefully package concerns).
During this time, I worked hard to provide for us, foreseeing a significant time period where I would have to be primary financial provider and caregiver. I increased my income each year we were married by around 25%, finishing our marriage at >$80,000 in yearly income, compared to starting our marriage at a modest $42,000 salary (including dramatically improving our healthcare). Frankly, I increased my income to provide for us in spite of the lack of support at home.
But to be clear: I donā€™t think it would have been particularly difficult to provide financially if I had an ounce of support at home.
However, the relentless criticism and expectation of mind-reading continued through the years. I rationalized this abuse for the first year of our marriage because of all the excuses to be cruel, she had a good one ā€“ she had cancer. I hung onto a hope that it would stop. Contrary to my hope, as the years went on ā€“ and our expenses climbed ā€“ and I continued to work myself to the bone ā€“ she continued to relentlessly critique and even started being more emotionally demanding, expecting me to take responsibility for her inability to cope with her emotions ā€“ I was drowning. She was asking too much of me. There was no deliverance from her abuse.
I was exhausted. In the peak of the abuse I endured at her hand, I was working multiple jobs, sleeping 10+ hours a night and napping frequently during the day around meetings and work, then coping with alcohol to numb myself to the abusive dynamic and fall asleep with no support from her. The only time I could approach her sexually was when I was intoxicated, with inhibitions lowered. The only time I could have a conversation with her was with a counselor in the room. Without something to mitigate opportunity for her to be cruel to me, either a mediator or self-medication, I was scared.
I lived at home in a constant state of alert and cognitive fatigue. No matter how I tried to make sense of my home life, I couldnā€™t. When she looked at or touched me, I would recoil in fear, anticipating some sort of incisive critique or demand expressed. Then she would criticize me for not responding warmly to her, exacerbating the cycle.
I couldnā€™t meet her needs ā€“ I was utterly exhausted. When I would tell her of the exhaustion I experienced in marital counseling, her responses were typically something along the lines of not believing me, denying what I was saying was true, or calling my exhaustion an ā€˜excuseā€™. I could interact happily with my friendsā€¦ why not her?
I did not deny her demands were legitimate; rather, I expressed my inability to meet them because of how fatigued I was. I said ā€˜I canā€™tā€™ so many times. I realize her demands were small; affection, saying ā€˜i love youā€™, complimenting her. But itā€™s disorienting to be consistently berated and belittled by a person and then asked to compliment them and tell them you love them.
The push and pull of abuse is exhausting to a person who is not mentally because it does not make sense.
Further, in counseling I realized that I have forgotten that I have needs. I have lost the tools to even evaluate what my needs might be because, implicitly and explicitly in my marriage, I was told my needs donā€™t matter.
My marriage made no sense; I was obviously drowning, exhausted with the demands our life imposed on me. I was doing everything I could to get straight. I was in individual therapy, marital counseling, pastoral counseling, trying different antidepressants (4 in total ā€“ all with no effect), changing eating habits, trying to reduce my drinking, getting medical tests to see if I had health issues causing my fatigue, and being vulnerable in my friendships in an attempt to invite others in to process and move forward and figure out my marriage. I desperately shared everything I could about my marriage, hoping someone else would crack the code where I couldnā€™t.
None of my efforts worked. I could not get out of the exhausted state I was in. Itā€™s worth noting here that within weeks of separating I almost completely cut out alcohol, got into a regular sleep schedule, was waking up at 6-7am every day and reading multiple hours (which I couldnā€™t do in marriage due to cognitive fatigue/distraction), and experienced a resurgence of energy. I have felt the duress I was under lift and lift and lift and the weeks and months have went on.
In retrospect, I was experiencing cognitive fatigue because I was taking the demands my wife was placing on me seriously, but no matter what I did I could not make sense of them. How could she not see that I was doing everything I could to make ends meet ā€“ the ends which she was imposing on me? I did not have additional energy left. She would ask me ā€˜Do you love me?ā€™ and I didnā€™t know how to respond. How is my work not at least some symbol of love? My dream was to be a poor professor, which she knew ā€“ instead I was grinding myself to the bone, working in digital marketing with multiple freelance projects, picking up a bartending gig and a teaching gig on top of full-time employment.
The last straw was when she accused me of abuse. I took that accusation seriously, and weighed it against my experience. ā€˜Am I an abuser?ā€™ I asked myself. I sorted through my behavior and how I treated her. I came to the conclusion that I may be a poor husband in serious ways; but I am not an abuser. And the abuse question opened the door to the questionā€¦ ā€˜I may not be an abuserā€¦ but is there abuse in our marriage?ā€™ And the answer quickly became ā€˜Yes.ā€™
When we were married, I understood that she wasnā€™t going to work much for a while. However, she worked the bare minimum she could for 4 years, earning at most in a single year $18,000. As the years went on and my income climbed, our debt continued to climb as well. She was still contributing the same, yet spending frivolously on useless knick knacks for our home and a cat. As I packed up our home to sell, the majority of items were dozens of boxes of useless junk sheā€™d accumulated.
She lived a life of mania around finances. We would go to marital counseling and she would regularly express, ā€˜I would rather be poor and happy than rich and sadā€™. We were poor and sad. Sure, my income was the highest itā€™d ever been ā€“ but we were still drowning, with debts climbing. At the end of our marriage, weā€™d accumulated about $20,000 in consumer debt between credit cards and personal loans.
It was traumatizing (and abusive) to go to counseling and be told by my partner she would ā€˜rather be poor and happy and than rich and sadā€™ when the factual scenario we were living was neither. She actively denied reality ā€“ both my lived experience and the reality of our finances ā€“ at my expense. It was killing me, trying to make sense of what we were going through but being unable to make sense of what I was being told and what I was experiencing.
Throughout this time, it is worth adding that she also leveraged my spiritual leadership to ā€˜set me straightā€™. I was in a conservative Evangelical space, believing that men are the ultimate provider in a family unit and primarily responsible for the status of the marriage. Because I was not doing what she wanted me to (lavishing her with affection), I was muscled into multiple groups and meetings where pastoral care intervened to restore our marriage. In the moment, I submitted to my pastoral care because of my trust for them and my faith in God. Now, I believe this dynamic was abusive; my pastoral care did not care in any sense for my soul; they only cared about fixing my marriage. No questions around ā€˜whyā€™ my marriage was so bad were asked; only what was going on and how it could be fixed. I relish the thought of my pastoral care being held accountable for the abuse they exercised upon me during this time on judgment day, albeit through a shaken faith in a God that would enable this dynamic.
With my spiritual community, I shared that I felt like she was my tormentor; that she it felt as if I were on the ground due to exhaustion, and she was standing on my throat, telling me to ā€˜get upā€™ and ā€˜tell me you love meā€™; that our metaphorical life was a boat, sinking, and I was desperately bailing out water. All the while, she stood at the other end of the boat, desperately bailing water in and looking at me like I was a maniac.
And yet, because there was no adultery, there was no category for divorce. We had sworn an oath before God and were required to fix this.
As I reflect upon my marriage (and the ongoing divorce proceedings), a few things are clear.
She is an abuser. I donā€™t think she intends to be, but impact matters. She is mentally ill and unable to reckon with basic reality.
She is a manipulator. She manipulated my spiritual community against me. I was viewed as someone to be corrected while begging for help from my trusted friends and pastoral care, whom I now regret being vulnerable with due to their abuse and denial of my reality because I didnā€™t fit neatly into their thin theological categories.
She is an enslaver. In divorce proceedings, she is doing everything she can to get every dollar from me, leveraging student loans I did not co-sign, my continually increasing income due to my hard work, and denying every claim of dissipated assets she can.
It is truly a mind-breaking experience to see your compassion leveraged against you for money. I had to sit under an attorney proclaiming to a judge that, since I consented to move up our marriage date before her cancer surgery, ā€˜I knew what I was getting intoā€™. That she is entitled to large sums of money (that do not exist; we never had more than $3000 in our bank account during marriage) due to that decision.
Even apart from the abuse, I did not know what I was getting into. Including the abuse, I am full of remorse for having invited such an evil, hateful person into my life.
This experience has been the most challenging to my faith. As I endured abuse from her, I trusted God in a few ways. That the compassion I showed would maybe be rewarded ā€“ or, at least not punished. That my spiritual community wanted what was best for me. That God was not a punitive, hateful God (like my partner). I do not believe this trust was well placed, but am open to shortcomings in my views here.
I struggle to consent to a God that allowed my experience to occur. Iā€™m open and processing in some kind of faith, but I really donā€™t know what it looks like to find a place to put this pain and betrayal that Iā€™m experiencing.
I am a survivor of abuse, and the abuse I endured was mind-shattering. I sacrificed everything to support a partner diagnosed with serious bodily illness, which drove her to hate me and deny my lived experience because she could not reconcile it with the hatefulness she cultivated over our marriage, choosing bitterness over any positivity for four years, poisoning my well-being in the process.
What I envisioned to be the most compassionate moment of my life ā€” marrying a person with cancer and promising to support and love them ā€” has become nothing but a symbol of pain and remorse. I envisioned a life where my partner and I would fight against the terror of cancer; instead she hopped to the other side, choosing her ongoing health issues as the ally and myself as the enemy.
It took me 4 years to realize it. And as she drags me through court to leverage every dollar out of me I can, my only regret is that I didnā€™t leave my abuser to her own devices sooner; self-pity, hatefulness, and a sheer disregard toward taking responsibility for anything.
I am grateful but drowning. As we are negotiating settlement, the end is near, and my abuser will soon be unable to execute any influence in my life.

I got a $10 discount for sending a promo code to 3 emails. Once I click the discount email link it opens my app to the add-on section. But once I add an item on I donā€™t see the discount actually subtracted from my total. What gives? Iā€™m hesitant to leave it and hope it works out at billing.

2024.05.19 00:12 OxyBullet Filing with workers comp at hospital vs at work?

Yesterday, I was at work and a 25 lb steel bar fell on my head. I went to the hospital completely confused and profusely vomiting. I was diagnosed with a concussion. CT scans were clean, they said I was extremely lucky to not have a brain bleed. All my bosses admitted fault as they knew for a long time the machine was faulty and I complained about it often.
GOING BACK IN TIME- A year ago I slipped and fell on ice at my job, and filed with workers comp. After a few months, all my doctors said I needed continued care, but workers comp hired an "independent medical examiner" who, despite having all my doctors notes, kicked me off and stopped all my treatment. I have joint dysfunction due to the injury, but was unable to sue because I filed with workers comp.
NOW, with my head injury yesterday, at the hospital they shoved a paper in my hand and told me to sign it. I can't remember what it said, I was on so many narcotics. She said it was a workers comp paper. I told her no no, I'm not signing, I'm not signing. She told me "this is different from the one with your employer, you have to sign this", so I did.
What the hell did she make me sign? Did she render me unable to sue? How is there a workers comp "for the hospital" and one "for the job"? I am sure I will recover and I will have no need for lawyers and the like. But workers comp completely screwed me over with my back injury, and I never want to deal with them again. If anything with my head becomes chronic, I want to know if I have the ability to still sue my employer. Thank you.

2024.05.19 00:08 ashyskeleton Hi nurses of reddit! I am a writer with a non-medical question

Hi! I see this reddit is mostly used for medical concerns, so I hope this is okay to post here. If it's not, can you perhaps direct me to a better place?
So for some context, I am an author who writes a modern fantasy story. I'm currently approaching a plot point in my story that I'm actually not sure how it would be handled, so I'm hoping I can get some input!
Without getting into the entire plot of the story, all you need to know for the context of my question is a character was gravely wounded and is currently in a coma in a hospital with doctors pretty sure he isn't going to make it. As far as the doctors know, this guy is basically gonna die any day now.
However, another character is going to heal him with...basically dark magic, for the sake of not over-explaining. The problem is, this leaves a scar that makes it very clear "dark magic" was used on him, which is very illegal.
SO, why I'm here is to basically ask nurses the best way I can get this character out of the hospital without being caught with this forbidden scar.
I'm currently considering three options, but I don't fully know the ramifications of them, and I'm hoping you guys can fill me in:
  1. He just sneaks out. This is completely possible through another character's magic, but what exactly happens if a person just goes...missing from a hospital, especially if they were in very poor condition? What if he just leaves a note, essentially saying "I'm fine, checked myself out." I imagine there'd still be some kind of investigation, but what if he just called later and verified he's alive and fine? Would the hospital just leave him alone as long as he paid all his bills and stuff?
  2. He just checks himself out. But can he do this without the scar being discovered? Can he wake up, say he wants to check out, not consent to being examined, then just leave? Would doctors force him to be examined? Can they do that?
  3. I pursue option 1 but just have him go missing and remain missing. I imagine this would make him a missing person and would get police involved (especially if he doesn't pay his bills lol). Just what happens in cases where a patient just disappears without a trace?
Thank you in advance for any input! I ideally would like to pursue option 1, but I wanna make sure I'm not digging myself into a plot hole or just something wildly incorrect with that route.

2024.05.18 23:57 Keith502 Why is the Bill of Rights interpreted to give rights to Americans?

There seem to be a large number of people who believe that the purpose of the Bill of Rights was to grant and guarantee rights to the American people. Furthermore, I have heard many people claim that the Bill of Rights is entirely a list of specifically individual rights of American citizens. It puzzles me why these beliefs continue to persist, because the historical record indicates that there is no reason to believe these descriptions of the Bill of Rights. There is a more than adequate amount of historical evidence to corroborate my conclusion. The first and most direct evidence is the very preamble to the Bill of Rights itself. The original preamble of the Bill of Rights begins with a paragraph explaining the documentā€™s purpose; it goes as follows:
The Conventions of a number of the States, having at the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added: And as extending the ground of public confidence in the Government, will best ensure the beneficent ends of its institution.
I think the three most important phrases in this paragraph are ā€œin order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powersā€, ā€œdeclaratory and restrictive clausesā€, and ā€œextending the ground of public confidence in the Governmentā€. These three phrases seem to best sum up what the Bill of Rights was originally meant to accomplish: it is a list of declaratory and restrictive clauses whose purpose is to prevent the misconstruction or abuse of the Constitutionā€™s powers, and to increase public confidence in the federal government. And if one were to look at the Bill of Rights, its text would seem to be in harmony with this statement of purpose. The Bill of Rights consists mostly of negative clauses which put restrictions on the federal government; it states what shall not happen or what shall not be done by Congress, such as prohibiting freedom of religion, abridging freedom of speech, infringing the right to keep and bear arms, violating the right to be secure in property, etc. And the ninth and tenth amendments do not mention any particular rights whatsoever, and clearly just serve the purpose of preventing the Constitution from being misconstrued or abused to diminish the rights of the states and the people, and to prevent granting the federal government more power than the Constitution meant for it to have. The phrase ā€œextending the ground of public confidence in the Governmentā€ further indicates that the Bill of Rights was not really meant to add rights not already stipulated in the Constitution, but was only meant to reinforce trust in the federal government at the time of the Founding. The Bill of Rights was not meant to add any substantive articles to the Constitution, but rather it consisted of articles whose purpose was to reinforce the articles that had already been established, and prevent them from being misinterpreted in the future by any unscrupulous members of the federal government. Also notice that there is nothing written here in the preamble about granting rights to the American people, let alone granting specifically individual rights to the American people: you would think if the framers of the Bill of Rights had meant for this to be the documentā€™s effect, they would have stated so clearly in the preamble.
Another piece of evidence for my conclusion comes in an address given by James Madison -- the author of the Bill of Rights -- in the House of Representatives on June 8, 1789. This address involved an early proposal of amendments to the Constitution. Before listing his various propositions for amending the Constitution, Madison said this:
There have been objections of various kinds made against the Constitution. Some were levelled against its structure because the President was without a council; because the Senate, which is a legislative body, had judicial powers in trials on impeachments; and because the powers of that body were compounded in other respects, in a manner that did not correspond with a particular theory; because it grants more power than is supposed to be necessary for every good purpose, and controls the ordinary powers of the State Governments. I know some respectable characters who opposed this Government on these grounds; but I believe that the great mass of the people who opposed it, disliked it because it did not contain effectual provisions against encroachments on particular rights, and those safeguards which they have been long accustomed to have interposed between them and the magistrate who exercises the sovereign power; nor ought we to consider them safe, while a great number of our fellow-citizens think these securities necessary.
The part I've put in italics indicates that the major purpose of the amendments to the Constitution was to reassure citizens that effective protections were put in place to prevent the ā€œmagistrate who exercises the sovereign powerā€ from encroaching upon their rights. Notice there is nothing written here about granting rights to the people, only protecting the people's pre-existing rights from the federal government.
Following the above statement, Madison begins to list a variety of proposed additions to the Constitution, and he proposes the additions be inserted into the body of the Constitution itself, at various sections. Ultimately, he begins to propose a certain list of amendments to be inserted within article 1, section 9; and this particular list happens to correspond to most of the articles which comprise the Bill of Rights as it exists today:
Fourthly. That in article 1st, section 9, between clauses 3 and 4, be inserted these clauses, to wit: The civil rights of none shall be abridged on account of religious belief or worship, nor shall any national religion be established, nor shall the full and equal rights of conscience be in any manner, or on any pretext, infringed.
The people shall not be deprived or abridged of their right to speak, to write, or to publish their sentiments; and the freedom of the press, as one of the great bulwarks of liberty, shall be inviolable.
The people shall not be restrained from peaceably assembling and consulting for their common good; nor from applying to the Legislature by petitions, or remonstrances, for redress of their grievances.
The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed; a well armed and well regulated militia being the best security of a free country: but no person religiously scrupulous of bearing arms shall be compelled to render military service in person.
No soldier shall in time of peace be quartered in any house without the consent of the owner; nor at any time, but in a manner warranted by law.
No person shall be subject, except in cases of impeachment, to more than one punishment or one trial for the same offence; nor shall be compelled to be a witness against himself; nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor be obliged to relinquish his property, where it may be necessary for public use, without a just compensation.
Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.
The rights of the people to be secured in their persons; their houses, their papers, and their other property, from all unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated by warrants issued without probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, or not particularly describing the places to be searched, or the persons or things to be seized.
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, to be informed of the cause and nature of the accusation, to be confronted with his accusers, and the witnesses against him; to have a compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor; and to have the assistance of counsel for his defence.
The exceptions here or elsewhere in the Constitution, made in favor of particular rights, shall not be so construed as to diminish the just importance of other rights retained by the people, or as to enlarge the powers delegated by the Constitution; but either as actual limitations of such powers, or as inserted merely for greater caution.
It is notable to consider that Madison initially proposed the Bill of Rights to be integrated into the Constitution itself, rather than to be a separate document. But what is even more notable is the specific location it was proposed to be inserted in. Article 1, section 9 is specifically the location of the Constitution dedicated to enumerating the prohibitions upon the power of Congress. What this means is that the original plan for the amendments currently appearing in the Bill of Rights was for them to merely be a list of stipulations regarding what Congress was not allowed to do. Thus, it would make no sense for those same clauses today to be construed as being themselves grants of rights to individual American citizens, anymore than other articles within this same section -- such as Congress being prohibited from abolishing the slave trade before 1808, or laying taxes on state exports -- could themselves be considered grants of individual rights to American citizens.
Another piece of evidence can be found in the 1833 Supreme Court case Barron v Baltimore. This case essentially makes explicit that which was originally understood about the Bill of Rights -- that it was meant only as a list of prohibitions upon Congress. The following excerpt makes this clear:
Had the framers of these amendments intended them to be limitations on the powers of the State governments, they would have imitated the framers of the original Constitution, and have expressed that intention. Had Congress engaged in the extraordinary occupation of improving the Constitutions of the several States by affording the people additional protection from the exercise of power by their own governments in matters which concerned themselves alone, they would have declared this purpose in plain and intelligible language.
But it is universally understood, it is a part of the history of the day, that the great revolution which established the Constitution of the United States was not effected without immense opposition. Serious fears were extensively entertained that those powers which the patriot statesmen who then watched over the interests of our country deemed essential to union, and to the attainment of those invaluable objects for which union was sought, might be exercised in a manner dangerous to liberty. In almost every convention by which the Constitution was adopted, amendments to guard against the abuse of power were recommended. These amendments demanded security against the apprehended encroachments of the General Government -- not against those of the local governments. In compliance with a sentiment thus generally expressed, to quiet fears thus extensively entertained, amendments were proposed by the required majority in Congress and adopted by the States. These amendments contain no expression indicating an intention to apply them to the State governments. This court cannot so apply them.
And then the aforementioned case was subsequently referenced by the 1875 Supreme Court case US v Cruikshank, which further reinforced the same conclusion while addressing the first and second amendments of the Bill of Rights:
The first amendment to the Constitution prohibits Congress from abridging "the right of the people to assemble and to petition the government for a redress of grievances." This, like the other amendments proposed and adopted at the same time, was not intended to limit the powers of the State governments in respect to their own citizens, but to operate upon the National Government alone. [. . .] It is now too late to question the correctness of this construction. As was said by the late Chief Justice, in Twitchell v. The Commonwealth (#325), 7 Wall. 325, "the scope and application of these amendments are no longer subjects of discussion here." They left the authority of the States just where they found it, and added nothing to the already existing powers of the United States.
The particular amendment now under consideration assumes the existence of the right of the people to assemble for lawful purposes, and protects it against encroachment by Congress. The right was not created by the amendment; neither was its continuance guaranteed, except as against congressional interference. For their protection in its enjoyment, therefore, the people must look to the States. The power for that purpose was originally placed there, and it has never been surrendered to the United States.
The second and tenth counts are equally defective. The right there specified is that of "bearing arms for a lawful purpose." This is not a right granted by the Constitution. Neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence. The second amendment declares that it shall not be infringed, but this, as has been seen, means no more than that it shall not be infringed by Congress. This is one of the amendments that has no other effect than to restrict the powers of the national government, leaving the people to look for their protection against any violation by their fellow citizens of the rights it recognizes, to what is called, in The City of New York v. Miln (#139), 11 Pet. 139, the "powers which relate to merely municipal legislation, or what was, perhaps, more properly called internal police," "not surrendered or restrained" by the Constitution of the United States.
So as you can see, it was well-established from the time of the countryā€™s founding that the Bill of Rights was never meant to itself be a grant or guarantee of rights to the American people. The official function of the Bill of Rights was always prohibitive rather than affirmative: the purpose was to restrain the federal government, rather than to endow something to American citizens. So what I donā€™t understand is: how has the Bill of Rights become so misunderstood and misapplied? Why is it that, from the layman even to the level of the modern-day Supreme Court, it is believed that the Bill of Rights is meant to grant or guarantee rights to individual American citizens, when this conclusion is unequivocally unsupported by the historical record? And not only is this conclusion not supported by the historical evidence, but I would argue that it contradicts the very purpose of the Bill of Rights; the whole point of the document was to limit the power of Congress, but interpreting the document to be a federal guarantee of rights to the people is, in effect, a transference of power to the federal government never stipulated in the Constitution, and is in violation of the tenth amendment.
The Bill of Rights, according to its original design, is essentially superfluous; effectively declaring nothing in itself, and only serving to clarify the intent of the Constitution, prevent it from being adversely misinterpreted, and to make explicit what was implicitly acknowledged regarding the boundaries of congressional power. There had been much debate among the Founders regarding whether the Bill of Rights should even exist at all. So how is it that a document whose original purpose was to be nothing more than a protection of civil rights has now become interpreted effectively as the source of the people's civil rights?

2024.05.18 23:53 ByronR02 Help me decide how to move forward

Im not sure what to do. I work 2 jobs, 1 as a server at a cafe in the mornings, they don't offer benefits other than half off food and items from the market downstairs that is owned by the same person. I work there Mondays Tuesdays Wednesdays and Fridays so the tips aren't great because they are not the busiest days. Also I get paid bi weekly there. At night I work at another restaurant as a food runner. They have me locked into that position and I hate it, it's not at all what I want to do. I have spoken up multiple times about it and they just keep telling me later down the line but l've seen them bring in other servers and other bussers. The pay at my night job is pretty good for being a food runner and is what I pay my bills with. Aside from that they also offer benefits such as health dental and vision. The insurance is honestly what is keeping me from leaving this job. Our provider is Cigna and they have covered most of my medical and vision expenses from this year already. They also offer a 401k after a year of employment which I am coming up on. The problem I am having is that I was just reffered to a server position at an Italian job. They would need me to work nights so I would have to either quit my cafe job and rearrange my food runner schedule to only mornings, keep the benefits but receive a lower pay because obviously the mornings don't get as busy as nights. Or I would have to accept the new job offer as a server at the Italian spot, quit my food runner job and lose the benefits but receive higher pay at the Italian spot. A higher pay is important to me because I live il expensive city.
Health insurance is also important to me because I have had an undiagnosed lump in my throat for a while now. Let me know what you would do

2024.05.18 23:39 ratsratswearerats bungie rewards issues

Posted this on bungie forums might as well post here too.
Iā€™ve gotten this error about a dozen times trying to order the riven plush off the bungie store. My account is linked so thatā€™s not the issue. I try to purchase it and every time it seems like itā€™s gonna go through and then BOOM it says recapcha failed for absolutely no reason, also nothing popped up for me to click.
Idk what the issue is or how to fix it, Iā€™ve sent in a ticket to customer support but Iā€™m not going to get a reply until Monday most likely. Iā€™m on google chrome, maybe Iā€™ll try normal internet explorer
Edit @ 8:19am 5/18/2024: tried on Microsoft edge and it says something about my postal code being different, checked postal code on card and postal code of billing address and theyā€™re both the same. I just want my wacky lizard plush, is that so hard to ask?
Edit @ 8:28qm 5/18/2024: found my old bungie store account I used to get a thorn replica, unlinked my random linked account from my bungie account and tried to link it from the old one and it said there was a problem logging me in. This is frustrating.
Edit @ 8:48am 5/18/2024: itā€™s now reverted saying stuff about my postal code unable to be verified, Iā€™ve now TRIPLE checked to make sure the postal code on the card is the same as the billing address and itā€™s still not working. Iā€™m gonna wait until customer support replies because this is frustrating. EBay is out of the equation due to being 4x the price.

2024.05.18 23:36 No-Issue9029 Advice for paying off 14k in credit card debt?

Made some poor financial decisions and landed myself in a pit. Any advice is appreciated.
Here's what we're working with:
Monthly expenses: $2,800
Monthly income: $3,600 after taxes
Rent/utilities: $1,000
CC Payments (across 4 cards): $400
Student loan: $300
Cainsurance: $800
Medical Bills: $150
Food/Gas: $150
I have about 1,000 in savings, and 8,000 in a 401k.
My CC debt is across 4 cards :
1- 1,600 Amex
2- 1,800 Citi (0% APR)
3- 1,800 Credit One
4- 9,200 Discover
is it worth closing the discover account and negotiating a lower interest rate, even if it hurts my credit score for a bit? Or taking a loan out on my 401k or using my savings?
I also am coming up on a substantial pay increase between November and March 24/25, which is the only thing keeping me from freaking tf out.
Again, any help is appreciated.

2024.05.18 23:33 Tesa_Tesanovic1988 Your career management as an investment portfolio

In most cases when sales of a product have plateaued, market saturation is often used. That suggests there is more supply than demand for a given product. Western marketplaces are bursting with work options and ways to make money. Todayā€™s young people must act smart and move quick to locate new employment opportunities.In most cases when sales of a product have plateaued, market saturation is often used. That suggests there is more supply than demand for a given product. Western marketplaces are bursting with work options and ways to make money. Todayā€™s young people must act smart and move quick to locate new employment opportunities.

Suppose one wants to be successful in this field, they should focus on expanding markets, developing innovative technology, and uncovering undiscovered company prospects in highly profitable niche industries, among other things (Agarwal et al, 6). Businesses in crowded markets may cut the price of their products to gain a larger market share. As a result, businesses are always undercutting each other to attract new customers. Cost-cutting is a common strategy for firms when profits are stagnant (Simonazzi et al., 17). Unnecessary or avoidable cost savings are welcome, but they donā€™t address the underlying issue.

Where do I pay my taxes if I am a digital nomad?

According to the recent reports, westerners already pay too many taxes in a number of business entities. Due to the high cost of living in their new home nation, one out of every five American ex-pats is contemplating renunciation of their citizenship. Senators are concerned about how to pay for the deficit, and Senate rules prohibit raising long-term deficits through reconciliation bills. Consequently, more money will be available to Congress if the budget reconciliation plan generates more revenue. The United States will not make significant investments unless Congress makes significant adjustments to the tax structure (Michel et al., 89). Increased budget deficits could slow the long-term growth of the economy. In addition private investment or borrowing from other countries is used to pay for government borrowing when the economy is close to capacity (Chen et al.440). When a person is experiencing difficulties, it might harm their future well-being. To put it another way, the long-term impacts of tax policy are influenced by its incentives and its budgetary implications.
Digital nomads have historically been seen as a threat in some places, but several countries around the world are now actively seeking to attract this growing digital population through new remote work visas.
All this converges into a superstorm, and more and more people will opt for digital nomad opportunities. While tax regulations can vary significantly depending on where you are in the world, general guidelines may be helpful to for those seeking information on paying taxes as a digital nomad. Naturally, tax filing is done with the country of tax residence as determined by the place of a principal residence. Digital nomads, however, may encounter a variety of additional layers of tax residence due to their physical presence in other countries during a tax year. In addition, state/province/territory and local taxes may also apply.

Cancel culture and family safety issues

The cancellation culture has a lot to do with social media and if it hadnā€™t been for social media, pop culture would not have gotten the attention it has in the previous decade. In most case the cultures are frequently canceled by unfollowing, blocking, and publicly criticizing an organization or individual on social media. Due to their large social media followings, celebrity cancellations often garner much media attention. As a result of using social media to communicate with celebrities, many teenagers desire to emulate their peers. Most adolescent cancel culture is carried out online, primarily via comments and unfollows (Yar et al., 80). This can happen in the real world, such as at school or in extracurricular activities. They are often rejected, mocked, and disregarded by their peers, who have had their activities canceled. Most Western workers are experiencing job instability due to the growth of a ā€œcancel cultureā€ in the workplace (Dąbrowska-Kłosińska, 30). This can be a terrific method for teenagers to learn and grow, as their peers may call them out for using insulting words or acting inappropriately.

Investment analysis and forecasting as part of the individual development strategy

To produce an accurate financial projection, one must consider both general macroeconomic trends and your organizationā€™s specific circumstances. Predicting how much money a company will generate and spend in the future is known as financial forecasting. A full estimate contains both short-term and long-term revenue estimates and costs that arenā€™t anticipated at the time of the estimate (Poorter et al.120). People who know how to create models are critical to financial forecasting firms that do a good job. Some people have extensive knowledge of the organization, its sectors, and the communities it serves to support them along the way. Similarly, data collection and analysis are critical to the financial forecasting process and the use of the software.

Scenario planning and personal life choices

Global events like COVID 19, inflation, or food crisis can impact our life choices a lot. To avoid reacting to events, we need to think about what might happen in the future. Scenario planning helps us do this. Scenario planning allows business leaders to consider what might happen, reflect on past actions, and devise strategies for positive and poor outcomes. Scenario planning is more than just a means to think about the future when it comes to financial planning. It can assist one in determining how much money youā€™ll make, how much money youā€™ll have, and how to manage hazards. Early warning indications of difficulties can be spotted by leaders who make their organizations aware of potential issues (MacKenzie et al.900). One can use scenario planning papers to quickly run through numerous scenarios and figure out the best course of action in the event of a crisis. Making a strategy in the event of an emergency is essential. Having a strategy in place is critical in the event of a product going viral and seeing a threefold increase in demand in a single day.

Building the right skills for the jobs of the future

To be eligible for future employment, one must possess the abilities that will be most in demand. Coding has taken off swiftly as one of the most sought-after skills. Almost any industry can benefit from the versatility and scalability of computer languages. People believe that coding is so prevalent in the workplace that it will soon become an essential skill for everyone. Learning to code is a difficult task. Learning how to code and the language you choose impacts how long it takes to do so (Moldoveanu et al.40). Before you begin learning how to code, look at several computer languages and determine which ones are relevant to your industry. Many people begin by studying HTML or JavaScript when learning a new language. After youā€™ve mastered the fundamentals, you can move to more popular and widely used languages like Python. It is possible to store and manage corporate data in the cloud while allowing employees to work from home.

Riding on global trends of tomorrow

By adopting an agile culture, knowing how to cope with ambiguity, pushing outside our comfort zones, and quickly adjusting to new trends, among other things, we achieve success. We all agree that the weather has gotten more erratic in the last few decades. Crop failure, sea-level rise, and water scarcity are exacerbated by global warming. Malaria and dengue fever epidemics are also on the rise due to the influx of people from developing countries. According to the Kyoto Protocol, 175 countries have agreed to begin the long process of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by signing it (Penalva et al., 340). According to business leaders worldwide, firms have a larger role in society and should do more than merely follow the law to reduce pollution. According to a McKinsey survey, this is the case. The ā€œtriple bottom lineā€ refers to a companyā€™s efforts to benefit its shareholders and its workers and the environment. Increasing numbers of businesses are waking up to the need to lower their carbon footprints, produce ecologically friendly products, and operate their operations for more than just quarterly profits.

2024.05.18 23:26 Own-Republic-5754 AITA for shooting my neighborā€™s dog while it was attacking another dog?

This happened about two weeks ago.
For context, the houses in my (15F) neighborhood are placed in straight lines, so all of our yards are connected like one long strip of grass. The dog I shot lived 3 houses down from me and the one who was attacked lives right next to me. The further down neighbor got an XL bully type dog about 2 months ago, and the other dog was a puppy my neighbors had adopted a few weeks earlier. They also have two young kids and one other dog thatā€™s also very small, both of them are about the size of an average cat. The puppy is very yappy because it hasnā€™t been trained yet. The owner of the big dog has an electric fence and lets it hang out off leash in the front/back yards, and whenever I walk by it starts barking like crazy and acting aggressive. Iā€™ve seen dogs jump their electric fences so I keep an eye on their yard when Iā€™m outside, especially when the neighborā€™s kids or dogs are out. Also note my parents keep a shotgun propped against the wall next to the door that opens out into my back porch.
The day this happened I was sitting on my porch reading while the neighbor kids were playing with both their dogs outside. The XL owner let it out the back door and I didnā€™t pay much attention to it at first, but after it did its business, it started like jogging/quickly trotting in our direction. It walked straight through where the fence was supposed to be. It wasnā€™t acting crazy but this freaked me out so I opened the door to my parentsā€™ room and sat back down with the shotgun in my lap. The kids were excited about the doggy and went to go pet it as it got closer but it walked right past them and went up to the new puppy, who was yapping quite a bit. It didnā€™t growl, stiffen, or show any sign of aggression, just lunged right for it and caught in its mouth. The puppy was so small that basically like 2/3 of its body was in this dogā€™s mouth. The kids screamed and ran inside and the dog just clenched its jaw onto the little one while it started making horrible loud whining. I was sitting still atp l but when I saw blood in the little dogā€™s fur I just got up and shot the XL through the head. It was only like five feet away from me and I think it died on the spot. It kind of collapsed with its jaw still around the puppy.
The kidsā€™ parents, my older brother, and a few other concerned dads rushed out when they heard the gunshot. There was a lot of yelling and I tried to explain what happened while the kidsā€™ mom grabbed the little dog and rushed off with it. The couple that owns the XL stepped outside and everyone started yelling at them to get over here, and when they did they looked more pissed than concerned. They demanded to know what happened and I explained properly. Both dog owners were mad as hell. The XL owners started cussing me out and asking why I would intervene in a ā€œdog fightā€. I didnā€™t reply and the kidsā€™ dad told me to go inside and that heā€™d deal with it, so I did. I was pretty shaken up so I just went up to my room and put my headphones on. It was the first time I had fired a gun at a living thing. I donā€™t know what they were talking about but I could hear muffled yelling for like 10 minutes afterward.
Since then, the XL ownerā€™s have found my facebook and been commenting on some of my posts calling me a dog killer and an animal abuser as well as some slurs for Mexican people (Iā€™m brown but not Mexican). They are also sometimes on their front porch when I walk home from school and yell stuff like ā€œHi, cunt!ā€ in a passive aggressive voice. I just ignore them completely. My neighbors are working on a police report and want to wait until theyā€™ve got all of the medical bills they want to sue for so they and my parents can sue them at the same time (my parents want to sue for my emotional distress). My family and most of my neighbors have been telling me that I did the right thing since the puppy looks like itā€™ll make a full recovery, but I still feel like I shouldā€™ve done something else or avoided hurting the other dog at all.
AITA?

2024.05.18 23:11 GuiltyName7169 11 weeks 5 days pregnant

Hello, I am currently pregnant with my first baby. I was pregnant once before but it resulted in a very early miscarriage. So far, everything is going fine. Only things that have happened are when I was super early I was bleeding periodically. Itā€™d be a lot one time then just spotting for the rest of the day/a couple days later. Each time I went to hospital to ensure all is well. And was. Except for the last time, I didnā€™t go because I didnā€™t want to have to pay another hospital bill for a false alarm. This coming Thursday I have an ultrasound as well as the genetic testing. Something is telling me everything is not okay. Itā€™s also not helping that I keep seeing women that went for a 12-15 week check in and they were told their baby stopped growing 2 weeks prior, etc. Iā€™m more so just ranting and my heart aches for those mothers. What is making it difficult for me too I think, is that I have not had any symptoms of pregnancy. No vomiting (which no offense to anyone but Iā€™ll take it as a win), no food aversions, no cravings etc. the only thing is my breasts do hurt a lot. The other thing that terrifies me is that I am not in the greatest health. I was smoking 5-7 cigarettes a day as well as chiefing on my vape. My blood pressure is high. I take it myself at home and it will be 150/100 but at the docs office they say itā€™s normal which I know is not true. I have had hypertension my entire life, since I was 7-8. I am pretty overweight. I was 290 when I got pregnant (I had JUST lost 25 pounds right before becoming pregnant) and I am 320 already. I feel like I am not eating any more than I was, Iā€™ve been trying to eat fruits/veggies. But I keep packing on weight. I also was taken off my medications when I found out I was pregnant(for bipolar and sleep) so I have been anxious and restless. I canā€™t help but to feel guilty especially if I do lose my baby. My boyfriend has been extremely supportive throughout everything so far. With the exception of a few (unrelated) arguments.
But to highlight the weight thing, if anyone has recepies or meals they enjoy during pregnancy please let me know. Iā€™ve been trying to eat just chicken and veggies but I am getting tired of just chicken.
Thank you all for your time

2024.05.18 23:11 binaxenon Emergency House Repairs

I honestly never thought I'd make this post, but there has been a slow leak in our house that has now produced black mold in the floors and walls of this closet and the bathroom on the other side of the wall. It goes into the crawl space and through the insulation. It's made all of us sick, and I've never felt so stupid that I didn't realize there was a leak until now. We have to go to the clinic to make sure everyone is okay, but I can't afford medical bills nor can I really afford to repair all this damage and I honestly don't know if it's a pipe leak, or because of the flooding in the basement because of the amount of rain we've gotten over the past few weeks. I'm panicking. This was honestly my last resort. If you can't help, that's perfectly okay, I'm not trying to guilt anyone or make anybody feel bad for me. I can't add more pictures or I would should the crawl space and bathroom.

2024.05.18 22:50 saltyblueberry25 Tinfoil master thesis on DFV meme-story

This is my in-depth notes while watching the full length dfv meme video compilation by roaring pika this morning.
https://x.com/roaringpika/status/1791834694704591155?s=46
Itā€™s an hour long and way easier to understand all together like this.
These notes come from watching every ppshow this week and taking my favorite bits of tinfoil from the community into one fairly simple look into the story dfv is telling us without getting too deep on possible tinfoil, itā€™s just laid out plain and simple here.
Tldr; this is a very long post. I think it starts with dfvā€™s final yolo update (fine Iā€™ll do it myself) and how heā€™s been feeling for the first 30 minutes of the memes and then in the last half it switches to, fine Iā€™ll do it again and then full of straight confirmation foil that weā€™ve been right about the bear trap, bbby, Teddy, and baby all along. Then he says weā€™re all good, be zen and says goodbye for now.
Here goes:
Fine Iā€™ll do it myself, Cat heartbeat, Wolverine mad. (I think this marks his Final yolo update and of course doubled as the hype to start this week off with a bang.)
I think the first half of the movies are all about the first squeeze and how he was both dfv and kitty, how they were talking trash about him, how we found out about the baskets ā€œyou move I moveā€ the battle scenes were all about price action up and down, everything was green and red, and the running memes are about the stock running up and sad memes are when the stock goes down.
About 30 minutes in someone asks, ā€œwhere you beenā€, he says ā€œwaitingā€, what about getting caught? ā€œAll part of the plan.ā€
Then thereā€™s usual suspects movie with the goofy meme ā€œIā€™ll fuckin do it againā€.
ā€”ā€”
Then Jake texting Keith, is this about our Jake with bbby and the story pp had about the gay bar at the first pulte event? So funny with the guy with 600 memes and basically joking that he became a full blown psycho.
Tell me where the freaks at pump up music. Psyched on us after the meet up?
Guy looks out the window, then the Teddy in a chair (might have just been a response to Cramer being a smartass). Then Hank (Jim Carrey) starts to lose it as the stock price keeps going down, his alter ego comes out.
Truman show, heā€™s trying to escape, they say ā€œheā€™ll turn back heā€™s too afraidā€. They hit him with everything theyā€™ve got but he knows itā€™s all fake. He says, ā€œis that the best you can do??ā€
Fury is a game where every boss fight feels like the final boss. They taunt you, they demand you get back in your prison cell, they pound you into a pulp and they even make you doubt the righteousness of your own quest towards freedom. But the soundtrack man, it keeps egging you on. To whoop some ass! PP theme music.
(This one is obviously talking about us, I cried because I was so happy when I heard this one)
ā€”ā€”
The Bullet one talking about time, cause and effect, ā€œdonā€™t try to understand it, just feel itā€. ā€œInstinct, got it.ā€
Morpheus teaching neo itā€™s all fake. Just before that scene he says, ā€œyou think thatā€™s air youā€™re breathing?ā€ ā€¦ ā€œAgain!ā€
Alice says ā€œBut I donā€™t want to go among mad people.ā€ The cat replies, ā€œMost everyoneā€™s mad here. You may have noticed Iā€™m not all there myself.ā€ Neo waking up again in the 4th movie.
Alice going down a rabbit hole into wonderland.. psychedelic music and dancing.
Next scene guy running and falls over, music says ā€œI lost myself.ā€
Shawshank, they find the tunnel he made. In 2021 Kitty escaped prison. All they found of him was some Reddit posts, tweets, and an old live stream. Investing is the study of pressure and time. Thatā€™s all it takes really, pressure and time. That and a keen goddamn activist.
A man will do anything to keep his mind busy in prison. Turns out kittys favorite activity was handing out memes, a handful at a time (the dirt for the tunnel). Kitty did as he was told, buffed that financial education to a high mirror shine. (I think heā€™s been getting ready for something big and these memes are just a countdown.)
Bruce Willis. No, THIS is the Kansas City shuffle. (An advanced form of confidence trick where the mark is aware of being involved in a swindle and believes that he or she can outsmart the swindler; however, this is all part of the trick, and by attempting to retaliate, the mark unwittingly assists the con artist.) Hedge funds are the mark and dfv/rc are playing a con, the bear trap?
ā€”ā€”
Pay attention to what I say, I choose my words carefully and I never repeat myself. The cat looks at the camera.
Michael from the office - Itā€™s Britney bitch. And I am back. Cut to Britney Spears - I must confess I still believe. When Iā€™m not with you I lose my mind. Give me a sign (like how weā€™re always asking for a sign?? (with the alien g from signs all red like a gme logo giving birth). Hit me BABY one more time!
Goosebumps all the papers fly out of the briefcase right when we get like 200 new dockets clawing back money from 90 days before bbby bk. Bear bewareā€¦ youā€™re in for a scareā€¦
Then itā€™s Abbi from Broad city dancing all over the place and sheā€™s obsessed with bed bath and beyond in the show. Thereā€™s also the scene where the other girl is dancing behind a colored blanket with the same logo as HBC and then the next scene sheā€™s tied up. Then theyā€™re dancing again.. and naked then then only in shorts. Naked shorts?
Weā€™ll never survive unless weā€™re a little crazy. The modern investor unleashes the animal within to take on the big city - thatā€™s gotta be us apes?
What kind of person are you? The kind that sees signs, sees miracles? Or do you believe that people just get lucky? Is it possible that there are no coincidences? The kid holds up a baby monitor. They find a crop circle and itā€™s two GameStop logos turned in different directions (maybe rc turned GameStop around) and then another one with a long line and a baby gme logo (is gme about to have a baby?!)
Why make something disposable like an investment thesis when you can make something that lasts forever, like a GameStop meme? (It says ā€œRealityā€ at the bottom of this clip, lol)
Jack Nicholson in the shining (music playing itā€™s just a matter of time before I lose my mind itā€™s also a place in ready player one where they have to take the leap not taken, the leap of faith, a kiss). ā€œMake a lot of memes today?ā€ Lol
Canā€™t stop whatā€™s coming. Kicks some ass.
ā€”ā€”
I got both hands off the wheel, the cops are coming. I listen to the music with no fear, you can hear it too if youā€™re sincere. Cuz Iā€™m a punk rocker yes I am. (song: punkrocker by the teddybears)
Rock ainā€™t about doing things prefect! Who can tell me what itā€™s really about? Sticking it to the man! If you wanna rock, you gotta break the rules.
Two cars racing, one plays chicken with a truck and then cut to bojack horseman talking on stage right before they almost crash (stalking horse? Looks just like he horse from 1, 2 switch that GameStop tweeted the minute the stalking horse deadline was up.)
Now you may only see a pile of boring forms and numbers, but I see a story (us going through the dd and maybe holly etlin talking about thereā€™s a story here but itā€™s not mine to tell)
Listen to this song, itā€™ll change your life.
(Song is donā€™t fear the reaper - so donā€™t be afraid of death, funny because of the cowbell, maybe cowbell is involved in the tinfoil but at the end of the song lyrics not shown in the clip they say: don't be afraid, Come on, baby (and she had no fear) And she ran to him (then they started to fly) They looked backward and said goodbye)
Big Lebowski dude is investigating and finds the drawing of Jackie tree horn and itā€™s just a guy with a raging erection with the name cohen at the top of the paper. (I think this means rc is ready to fuck)
Jason borne is telling the run Lola run chick he canā€™t run with her, he has to be careful because people are after him. He says I gotta figure it out. She says well then figure it out. They drive into a parking garage through the wrong way (where it should say exit it says exit strategy and he enters through the exit, parks and walks away, as in ā€œwhatā€™s an exit strategyā€)
Then it looks like maybe him and rc just waiting and dealing with some bs.
Then thereā€™s the Backstage roaring cat perhaps. The girl says ima stick beside him.
Not sure about everyone shooting each other but someone said maybe because he wrote it and manifested it?
ā€”ā€”
Then the dress one ā€œthis is art, get it?ā€ Was apparently two minutes after hey Ross and some others were talking about that dress on a space call.
Iā€™m a United States gamestop memer. Arenā€™t those the guys that go crazy and come back with an arsenal of memes and blast everybody? Sometimes. Price action keeps coming and comingā€¦ and then itā€™s GameStop earnings week! (6/5 aftermarket)
Always sunny scene maybe like a peek into how crazy heā€™s been feeling not being able to talk to anyone for three years?
He canā€™t speak or heā€™ll get in trouble.
Alladin scene (alladin name of trading algo. He also says next time Iā€™ll use a nom de plume - pen name) all I gotta do is jump! (The theme of taking a leap of faith again)
Dreyfus billionaire family (no idea but sheā€™s dancing having a great time)
You canā€™t handle the truth (code red has to do with a worm/virus, maybe theyā€™re about to unleash something that destroys several companies that are short? And itā€™s pretty funny)
Beavis and butthead sex for dummies (to me it says rc and dfv are ready to fuck but also cex means centralized exchanges which are also for dummies)
Oceans 11, (theme is a heist. Weā€™re all looking at each other like whatā€™s about to happen and then the last guy is just looking at boobs, seems to describe a group like us lol)
Bernard from westworld canā€™t see the bear thesis (because in the movie heā€™s programmed not to but irl itā€™s because there isnā€™t a thesis!)
ā€œThatā€™s not a thesis,ā€ pulls out huge knife, ā€œthatā€™s a thesis.ā€
The gme galaxy on the cat collar says deepfuckingvalue so I think heā€™s saying itā€™s still deep value and we often made memes about the black hole of gme absorbing the rest of the market into it so maybe thatā€™s it.
Whats in the box? Whatā€™s in the box??? (Whatā€™s the plan??? RC not telegraphing his plans)
Guy looks at all the memes - she asks ā€œis it not good?ā€ ā€œIt is miraculous.ā€ (Thatā€™s us loving every second of this. Thank you dfv.)
And so.. you just RAN. Forest gump runninā€™ (gme gonna just keep runninā€™)
you go backwards but then you go forwards againā€¦ you go backwardsā€¦ then he walks out of the woods.. (are we out of the woods now? Done going backwards?)
Weā€™ll see. The Zen philosophy story - kid breaks leg, oh thatā€™s bad, canā€™t go to war, oh now itā€™s good etc - (I think heā€™s saying to be zen, weā€™re gonna win, but this message goes deeper:
We donā€™t always know what is good or bad. Breaking your leg isnā€™t good or bad, those are just judgements in our mind. We donā€™t know what the future holds. Almost anything can be a good thing or a bad thing, all we can do is accept life and how things play out without judgement.)
Weā€™ll see.
Then the boy is saying bye to ET, the music says Iā€™ve really enjoyed my stay, but I must be movin on. (DFV going silent again until this all plays out.)
ā€”ā€”
ā€”ā€”
Heā€™s saying ā€œwe fuckin won fellas! Be zen, and weā€™ll see this all play out soon enough.ā€
I think the heavy use of good movies and music and video games may also be hinting at gamestops nft marketplace May reopen to sell those 3 things as NFTs by partnering with blockbuster and some musicians.
LFG šŸš€ Iā€™ll see you regards on the moon.
