Although I know what you're saying, I couldn't help thinking that X actually isn't genius, especially contrasted to how it was before the rocketman took over.


Please get help. Bringing up this entirely off-topic flamebait here is analogous to bringing up Donald Trump in a thread about copyright issues surrounding Donald Duck. Aka “something better reserved for reddit”.


I resent the implication that my 9-5 depletes me of resources!

Construction is a wonderful industry for artists. You do labour, which is exercise, communicate with people well outside your bubble, and get paid a damn pretty penny for it!

I am certain that our energy resources are greater than they appear, and that dealing with a shitty customer / manager is much more depleting than work itself.

The beautiful part is that the customer (client) is almost never there, and construction managers more often than not just aren't that shitty, probably because they know you can just leave and get another decent job the next day.

N.B. probably not as good in small cities, or anywhere with low economic movement.

Artist workers of the world unite!

EDIT: it's actually (and quite commonly) a 7-3, which i personally think beats a 9-5 any day of the week...


Play is so important. My own 2c is (simply) that the further prose moves from spoken word / technical detail, the closer it gets to unrestrained abstract imagination.

Everybody is constantly translating the world into brain signals, and then translating it back again to words. And some of those translations are more visceral than others, and follow natural and playful routes to reality.


It's definitely likely that many etymologies are disconnected from the one(s) assigned. And of course it's nigh impossible to get to the bottom of words which have multiple etymologies that stand up under scrutiny. But to say the entire thing is poppycock is like saying the entirety of recorded history is poppycock without adequate peer review / reliable sources. 8/10 use cases will find the information (contradictory or otherwise) useful.


It is absolutely worthwhile doing any of the immersion techniques you mentioned. Volunteer work would probably be the most important thing that you're missing. And I don't mean 'gap year help build a library' kind of volunteering, that stuff is implicitly pre-college, instagram stories and expat heavy. I mean exchanging a few hours of light work for bed and board (the language exchange is free). You can be pretty picky in most countries with sites like workaway or helpx, and probably find a little family to hole up with and do work remotely. And yes, you will find (single) people of all ages doing this.

EDIT: i see I'm supposed to say how traveling changed my life personally. pretty simple if you are me because studying language is my favourite hobby, and, as an amateur linguist, it is essential for my life satisfaction to immerse in something new every couple of years.


Possibly a lot more if I could make it convincing...


It's sad that dressing up as Charlie Chaplin has so many negative connotations.


I know I should be listening to the sounds of the birds when I take my daily walk. After all, the purpose is a sort of reset - an active meditation. And maybe it's a product of this productivity meme, whereby every waking moment must be utilised to it's maximum potential. But everyday I want to explore one or two recently released albums, and it just fits to fit them into my daily dose of vitamin D. I actually feel like a pleasure of mine has been lost if I go out without them.


He's right wing, which in the UK means you're either 50+ or racist.


Unless the question was answered in the first sentence ('Yes!' being one of the few single word sentences possible in English). In this perspective, the second sentence gives extra information instead of 'intentionally misleading'.


Then they need to provide additional information as to why they are considered a "covered entity" under HIPAA, because it is NOT obvious from their website why HIPPA would apply and the answer I was replying to appeared to be very mealy-mouthed based on the information given.

If they have additional information they'd like to share, I'd very much like to hear it.


HIPAA applies to any circumstance around handling PHI. We handle your self-reported survey data, and microbiome data as PHI. We do NOT have to be a "covered entity" to apply HIPAA compliant protocols to our data handling. It's an additional security measure we take in handling your PHI.


>HIPAA applies to any circumstance around handling PHI.

HIPAA does not apply at all as you are not a covered entity under HIPAA, stop lying.

>We do NOT have to be a "covered entity" to apply HIPAA compliant protocols to our data handling

Yeah, but that's just your current choice. You (more or less) claimed you were obligated to abide by HIPAA, but that's a lie, you are not.

I know you though nobody would call you out on this, but I am, because I understand the law. Please be upfront when asked, and stop lying.
