Thanks - the wife and I are in the process of shopping for a new house. This has provided some great ideas.

My point is so what if they have some sex equipment on the basement?

1. No one cares that they have it. It's lol that it's in their housing advertisment, however.

2. The house is being sold furnished.

Yeah, that much is even still in the live ad, even if the sex dungeon now appears to be a weight room.

might have been staged that way to get views. Good strategy.

Welp turns out they never stopped deducting from my paycheck and now I have an $1170 balance I can't spend. The best part is, unlike an HSA, if I leave the contractor company it gets forfeited back to them. My work wants to convert me to full time employee by the end of the month. Sweet.

I tried the card at a parking lot near my work and it rejected it. Like it has to be some kind of licensed vanpool or something. Otherwise you need to fill out onerous claim forms. This whole thing feels like a ****ing scam.

The contractor care agent at the contractor company is currently saying there's nothing she can do, even though she admits I cancelled back in Sept. According to her it's written somewhere that I also need to call to actually stop the deductions. Awesome. I tried to pin her down on what canceling online actually does then, and she just kept saying it stops coverage. Which makes no sense for this benefit. Scammy!

She's going to reach out to the Benefits Center out of the goodness of her heart to see if I can get a refund. But she says it's totally at their discretion. I love when there's a "they" that you can't interact with in these spots.

Anyway if she says no, I wonder what my options are. Small claims court? I'll try the recruiters who hired me of course but I'm pretty sure they'll be useless.
Update on this. Got the run-around from the "contractor care" team at the company. Went back to my recruiter and told them I might be at my current employer (their client) for a long time, and it would sit pretty badly with me if they couldn't get this straightened out. A few hours later, strings have been pulled, and supposedly the money is on my way and I'll get it in a week.

It's always fun when there's a 3rd party "they" (in this case the Benefit Center) that the care person treats like they have no control over, and it's apparently my job to make sure one communicates with the other. Bonus if there's no way to contact the 3rd party directly. Bureaucracy ftw.

Am I think only one that thinks Alita is a little creepy? Pre-teen girl, semi-sexualized, name very close to lolita.

I'll hang up and listen.

John Dingell: My last words for America
One of the advantages to knowing that your demise is imminent, and that reports of it will not be greatly exaggerated, is that you have a few moments to compose some parting thoughts.

In our modern political age, the presidential bully pulpit seems dedicated to sowing division and denigrating, often in the most irrelevant and infantile personal terms, the political opposition.

And much as I have found Twitter to be a useful means of expression, some occasions merit more than 280 characters.

My personal and political character was formed in a different era that was kinder, if not necessarily gentler. We observed modicums of respect even as we fought, often bitterly and savagely, over issues that were literally life and death to a degree that — fortunately – we see much less of today.

Think about it:

Impoverishment of the elderly because of medical expenses was a common and often accepted occurrence. Opponents of the Medicare program that saved the elderly from that cruel fate called it “socialized medicine.” Remember that slander if there’s a sustained revival of silly red-baiting today.

Not five decades ago, much of the largest group of freshwater lakes on Earth — our own Great Lakes — were closed to swimming and fishing and other recreational pursuits because of chemical and bacteriological contamination from untreated industrial and wastewater disposal. Today the Great Lakes are so hospitable to marine life that one of our biggest challenges is controlling the invasive species that have made them their new home.

We regularly used and consumed foods, drugs, chemicals and other things (cigarettes) that were legal, promoted and actively harmful. Hazardous wastes were dumped on empty plots in the dead of night. There were few if any restrictions on industrial emissions. We had only the barest scientific knowledge of the long-term consequences of any of this.

And there was a great stain on America, in the form of our legacy of racial discrimination. There were good people of all colors who banded together, risking and even losing their lives to erase the legal and other barriers that held Americans down. In their time they were often demonized and targeted, much like other vulnerable men and women today.

...

In my life and career I have often heard it said that so-and-so has real power — as in, “the powerful Wile E. Coyote, chairman of the Capture the Road Runner Committee.”

It’s an expression that has always grated on me. In democratic government, elected officials do not have power. They hold power — in trust for the people who elected them. If they misuse or abuse that public trust, it is quite properly revoked (the quicker the better).

At least they don’t catch fire anymore.

Yeah better is good. But it’s not out of reach for them to start burning again if the GOP keeps controlling the EPA.
