So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.

That's what my hubs would do (get an email, respond by going to their office), in his case because he's incredibly insecure about his writing/spelling/grammar. When he got to executive management level at his old job, I wrote all his memos for him.
I'd rather write a novel length e-mail than talk to someone face-to-face.

I get a strong whiff of "Walk it off - pain's good for ya. Builds character."
There've been so many ways that's been written, I just have to name it in my head, to know how to write it.
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. HIPAA.

Based on results, your idea of a conversation is where I agree with what you're saying. Since I don't, your "go publicly fuck [my]self" tells me this wouldn't be a productive use of my time.
You knows what you knows, and you ain't gonna hear nothin' else.
By all means, you're free to prove me wrong - I welcome it. Show me data. Platitudes won't work with me.
You post publicly, the public can respond.
And you have become insulated in your little bubble, and imagine it's the world.
From brick builder Angus MacLane, if you recognise it, I think it'll make you smile. I certainly had a little giggle. π
Help me, Muad Dib, you're my only hope.
Cover ambulance services. The service that *came to my house* to pick me up and take me to the hospital told me *via a text to my phone* that they had no choice but to bill me the full amount, no insurance coverage, because they didn't have my home address or any means of contacting me to get it. I'm still arguing with them about it. They're charging me thousands for a 5 mile drive with no treatment but monitoring my vitals.
Professional news! π¨
Today's my first day @STAT in my new role as a full-time reporter covering everywhere $ meets healthcare.
Dumb $ reason people aren't getting innovations or the best care? Screaming up the wall about ridiculous rules? Labor issues? π€―βοΈ fees?

The thing that's always frustrated me about anarchists (from what you've written, I'm assuming that's you) is that you imagine groups of people will just *do* things, collectively, for the betterment of all. And that will work. Humans have way too much of the "what's in it for me?" gene for that to work on any kind of scale. I mean, hell, sit through any HOA meeting ever held...
@RickiTarr @AirlockDoc Probably not *the* dumbest thing, but up there: I had a shithead stepfather who was into civil war re-enactments. This meant we had black powder lying around the place. One day, I was at home alone and bored, so I did what any normal kid would do: I made a bomb out of a toilet paper roll, tape, and black powder. Realized I didnβt have a way to close the top of the bomb and fashion a fuse, so I decided to set the tube of black powder down in the middle of our big green plastic trash can and toss matches in until I landed one in the tube. Hard to do, right?
I hit the tube on the second try.
There was a BA-FOOF! and then a huge column of smoke started pouring out of the can. I quickly slammed the lid on the can, but smoke still seeped out of the cracks the explosion had made in the sides.
Didnβt get caught, and thatβs what matters.
This is what happens with "family values" when you're a fascist, and this is exactly where the USA is heading.

My phone is set to screen any call from a number that isn't in my contact list. It does that before ringing. At the end of the day I usually have 2-3 hang-up calls in the log that I never heard anything about.
I'm a big fan of technology making my life easier.

You won't like me when I'm angry. But I always check my facts first.
I'm The Credible Hulk.

On this I must be slightly closer to baseline. I welcome touch, but only from people I know well and trust. That's a very small list. With people I don't know, I can endure it, for a short time. With people I know but don't trust, it's torture.
Most people don't, if that's what you're asking.
You're picturing something more visceral?
