| Isambard_Prince | But the benefits for the cardholder are almost all gone. | Feb 03 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Isambard_Prince | 10 years ago they had purchase protection, extended warranty, and price protection. | Feb 03 00:00 |
| Isambard_Prince | They got rid of all that and the merchant fees kept increasing. | Feb 03 00:00 |
| Isambard_Prince | Ten years ago I was glad I had a World Elite Mastercard, it was on my Citi Double Cash. | Feb 03 00:00 |
| Isambard_Prince | Now even fucking Capital One issues World Elite. | Feb 03 00:00 |
| Isambard_Prince | And they have no benefits whatsoever. | Feb 03 00:01 |
| Isambard_Prince | It's a scam to rip off merchants. | Feb 03 00:01 |
| MinceR | sounds like a campersnipe rank | Feb 03 00:02 |
| MinceR | though they call it Global Elite | Feb 03 00:04 |
| MinceR | "wow, you're really good at spending MasterCard's money, let us increase your fees some more!" | Feb 03 00:04 |
| Isambard_Prince | Visa has Visa Signature. That used to be the good one until they did the "World Elite" thing on it. | Feb 03 00:04 |
| Isambard_Prince | But now the highest level of Visa is Visa Infinite. | Feb 03 00:05 |
| Isambard_Prince | It has all the perks Mastercard World Elite used to have. | Feb 03 00:05 |
| Isambard_Prince | You can get Visa Infinite on the Capital One VentureX. | Feb 03 00:05 |
| Isambard_Prince | It requires the bank to give you a minimum $10,000 credit line, so if you get a Venture X that's as low as it can go. | Feb 03 00:05 |
| MinceR | i guess it's the bank's money then | Feb 03 00:05 |
| Isambard_Prince | Yeah, most levels of the card network don't require a minimum credit line from the bank. | Feb 03 00:10 |
| Isambard_Prince | So some credit lines go as low as $300-500. | Feb 03 00:10 |
| Isambard_Prince | Citi even does that shit to people sometimes. | Feb 03 00:10 |
| Isambard_Prince | THey'll give you a "World Elite" Double Cash card with a $500 spending limit. | Feb 03 00:10 |
| Isambard_Prince | :P | Feb 03 00:10 |
| Isambard_Prince | MinceR, The World Elite get a $500 limit sometimes, I guess. | Feb 03 00:11 |

| MinceR | lol | Feb 03 00:11 |
| Isambard_Prince | I went to the chiropractor today for some upper back pain issues. | Feb 03 00:12 |
| Isambard_Prince | That was the most extreme sounding chiropractic adjustment I've ever experienced. | Feb 03 00:12 |
| Isambard_Prince | I haven't been able to go in almost six months because my shoulder is healing. | Feb 03 00:12 |
| Isambard_Prince | I did request that he not put any force through my shoulder, but everything else was fine. | Feb 03 00:13 |
| Isambard_Prince | My physical therapist says that they can do those "adjustments" but they don't call them that. | Feb 03 00:13 |
| Isambard_Prince | At physical therapy it requires a doctor's order. | Feb 03 00:13 |
| Isambard_Prince | And they do help with back pain, sometimes. | Feb 03 00:13 |
| Isambard_Prince | It depends on what's causing the back pain. | Feb 03 00:14 |
| Isambard_Prince | It gives relief from the symptoms. Not permanently, but for a while. | Feb 03 00:14 |

| Isambard_Prince | MinceR, schestowitz[TR2] tells me chiropractic manipulations are pseudoscience. | Feb 03 02:37 |
| Isambard_Prince | But then if that's true, why do orthopedic surgeons sometimes prescribe the same sort of treatment and tell you to go to a physical therapist for it | Feb 03 02:38 |
| MinceR | ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ | Feb 03 02:38 |
| MinceR | maybe the theoretical basis for 'the same sort of treatment' is different | Feb 03 02:38 |
| Isambard_Prince | My physical therapist said he could do the same thing my chiropractor is doing to relieve my upper back pain. | Feb 03 02:39 |
| Isambard_Prince | But he's have to have a doctor's order for it. | Feb 03 02:39 |
| Isambard_Prince | *he'd | Feb 03 02:39 |
| MinceR | maybe it can be unsafe in some cases and a doctor really should inspect your back first | Feb 03 02:39 |
| Isambard_Prince | I mean, it does produce pain relief. | Feb 03 02:39 |
| Isambard_Prince | If you have a degenerative spine disorder or osteoporosis it's not safe to have chiropractic adjustments to the spine. | Feb 03 02:40 |
| Isambard_Prince | It's also not safe if they screw it up obviously. | Feb 03 02:41 |
| Isambard_Prince | The one I've been going to has been in business for over 30 years. | Feb 03 02:41 |
| Isambard_Prince | He has no complaints against him with the state board and he hasn't been sued by anyone for malpractice. | Feb 03 02:41 |
| Isambard_Prince | He charges below market price for this sort of thing. | Feb 03 02:42 |
| Isambard_Prince | Many of them these days either want to bill you thousands up front for visits you probably don't need. | Feb 03 02:42 |
| Isambard_Prince | Or they charge $15 or $20 more per visit, or both. | Feb 03 02:42 |
| Isambard_Prince | Or some kind of recurring billing. | Feb 03 02:42 |
| Isambard_Prince | Like one is called The Joint Chiropractic. | Feb 03 02:42 |
| Isambard_Prince | And they have a plan for $79 a month. | Feb 03 02:42 |
| Isambard_Prince | You get to come by two times per week under that plan, so that's potentially as little as $10 a visit. | Feb 03 02:43 |
| Isambard_Prince | But what happens if you donn't make it in twice a week, or don't need to go twice a week? | Feb 03 02:43 |
| Isambard_Prince | They have a per visit rate of $55 if you're not on the plan. | Feb 03 02:43 |
| Isambard_Prince | But the one I go to onyl charges $40. | Feb 03 02:44 |
| Isambard_Prince | I don't have to worry that I'll pay $79 a month whether I need to go a lot or not. | Feb 03 02:44 |
| Isambard_Prince | Sometimes he adjusts my back and neck and doesn't see me again for six months, then he adjusts me again and no pain and I come in 6 months later. | Feb 03 02:44 |
| Isambard_Prince | So I'd be paying $480 for 6 months at The Joint Chiropractic, but if I only need two visits, only $80 where I'm going now. | Feb 03 02:45 |
| Isambard_Prince | The Joint might be breaking even if you constantly manage to make it in twice a week. | Feb 03 02:45 |
| Isambard_Prince | But most people will not. | Feb 03 02:45 |
| Isambard_Prince | Life gets busy and we tend not to heavily use things we're subscribing to. | Feb 03 02:46 |

| Isambard_Prince | If you did one of those full body MRIs on nearly anyone, it would reveal a lot of things that you could spend a lot of time and money chasing down that are most likely nothing to be cooncerned aboout. | Feb 03 02:49 |
| MinceR | the problem with diagnosing medical issues you have is that it can lead to costly and unnecessary medical treatment? | Feb 03 02:50 |
| Isambard_Prince | Oddly, yes. | Feb 03 02:50 |

| Isambard_Prince | Incidental findings are common: many asymptomatic people have degenerative changes, small disc bulges, cysts, or other anomalies on MRI that do not cause symptoms. | Feb 03 02:50 |
| Isambard_Prince | An incidental finding can prompt more imaging, specialist visits, invasive tests, or procedures that carry risks and may not improve outcomes. | Feb 03 02:51 |
| MinceR | and a trained doctor in nazi america can't see those and realize that they most likely won't cause issues? | Feb 03 02:51 |
| Isambard_Prince | MinceR, Case in point.... | Feb 03 02:51 |
| Isambard_Prince | When I recovered from asymptomatic Hepatitis B. | Feb 03 02:51 |
| Isambard_Prince | They used the combination of surface antibody, core antibody, surface antigen absence, and told me I had recovered. | Feb 03 02:51 |
| Isambard_Prince | Some people really haven't recovered. | Feb 03 02:52 |
| MinceR | when the solution to treating things that don't need treatment is to avoid diagnosis, something is seriously fucked up | Feb 03 02:52 |
| Isambard_Prince | But the additional test costs over $1,000 and finds one occult case of Hepatitis B every 10,000 patients or so. | Feb 03 02:52 |
| Isambard_Prince | Do you really order that test on everyone? | Feb 03 02:52 |
| Isambard_Prince | In my case, my insurance paid for the entire thing so I decided to have the follow up testing done to be absolutely 100% sure. | Feb 03 02:53 |
| MinceR | maybe if the state wasn't so dead set on withholding medical treatment, economy of scale would bring that cost down | Feb 03 02:53 |
| MinceR | also if the state negotiated the price on behalf of the people | Feb 03 02:53 |
| Isambard_Prince | In my case, the state does negotiate the price. | Feb 03 02:55 |
| Isambard_Prince | And it negotiated it down considerably. | Feb 03 02:55 |
| Isambard_Prince | And paid the entire remaining amount. | Feb 03 02:55 |
| Isambard_Prince | I'm also lucky to live in a state that decided it wants less communicable disease spreading around. | Feb 03 02:56 |
| Isambard_Prince | It's one of the few states that covers the medicine that cures Hepatitis C to people on Medicaid. I've never had Hepatitis C, but nobody should have to have something like that when a round of pills can cure it. | Feb 03 02:56 |
| Isambard_Prince | MinceR, If you miss one pill you have to start over. | Feb 03 02:57 |
| Isambard_Prince | If it was me I'd be setting alarms to go off every time I needed one. | Feb 03 02:58 |
| Isambard_Prince | Until they were gone. | Feb 03 02:58 |
| Isambard_Prince | I was reading a blog post years back about a guy with HepC who couldn't afford Sovaldi or Harvoni. | Feb 03 02:58 |
| Isambard_Prince | They cost almost $90,000 and his insurance wouldn't pay. | Feb 03 02:59 |
| Isambard_Prince | So he sent $5,000 to someone in India and Customs didn't manage to seize it. | Feb 03 02:59 |
| Isambard_Prince | He said he set one pill aside in case he had to go to the ER so they could figure out what it was. | Feb 03 02:59 |
| Isambard_Prince | And he started taking them and hoped that's what it really was. | Feb 03 02:59 |
| Isambard_Prince | After the last pill, he went back to the doctor and the HepC was gone. | Feb 03 02:59 |

| techrights-news | "We call Trump a "reality TV star" and it's true, as far as it goes.

| techrights-news | "Like so many crooked officials, Trump's brand is "He steals, but he works" (except of course that he doesn't – at any given moment, odds are that he's either taking a nap, watching Fox News, or playing golf)" https://pluralistic.net/2026/02/02/corprophagia/#that-makes-me-smart | Feb 03 09:26 |
| techrights-news | "merely claiming "the system is rigged" doesn't actually win the day. If you want to convince people that the system is rigged, it really helps if the system is actually rigged" https://pluralistic.net/2026/02/02/corprophagia/#that-makes-me-smart | Feb 03 09:27 |
| techrights-news | "Take stock buybacks, a form of stock swindle that was illegal until 1982. In a stock buyback, a company buys its own shares on the open market." https://pluralistic.net/2026/02/02/corprophagia/#that-makes-me-smart | Feb 03 09:27 |
| techrights-news | "In a market system, stock prices are supposed to reflect the aggregated information about the health and prospects of a company. When a company buys its own stock back, though, its price goes up while its value goes down." | Feb 03 09:28 |
| techrights-news | "I mean that literally: say a company that's sitting on a billion dollars cash is valued at $10 billion. From this, we can infer that the company's capital stock (factories, inventory, etc), IP (patents, processes, copyrights, etc) and human capital (payrolled employees, contractors) are worth $9 billion. That's a reliable estimate, because we know exactly how much one billion dollars cash is worth: it's worth one billion dollars." | Feb 03 09:28 |
| techrights-news | "What's more, the drop in corporate valuation is more than the billion the company just blew on its buyback. A company with no cash reserves is brittle and prone to failures. Without a cash cushion, any rent shock, change in market conditions, or other adverse incident will leave the company scrambling to borrow money (at punitive rates, thanks to its desperation) to weather the storm." | Feb 03 09:29 |
| techrights-news | "This is just stock manipulation, which is why it was illegal until 1982. But apologists for this system will tell you that a stock buyback is just a dividend by another name – just another way for a company to return value to its shareholders, who, after all, are the owners of the company and entitled to extract those profits." | Feb 03 09:29 |
| techrights-news | "Contrast that with buybacks: to do a buyback, the company need merely spend its free cash flow, or money it borrows, or money derived from the sale of key capital, or money saved through mass layoffs, to buy its own stock. Then the share price goes up." | Feb 03 09:30 |
| techrights-news | "I used to think that this was the whole stock buyback story, but as is ever the case with finance, buybacks are fractally corrupt. This week, I've been reading Boston College law prof Ray D Madoff's book The Second Estate: How the Tax Code Made an American Aristocracy, and I've learned even more scummy truths about buybacks" | Feb 03 09:30 |
| techrights-news | "Here's how that works: if you're sitting on a bunch of stock, you can stake it as collateral for a loan that is tax-free. Better than that, if you're smart, some or all of the interest on that loan is tax-deductible." | Feb 03 09:31 |
| techrights-news | "If you're rich enough, you don't have to make regular payments on the loan, either – you just wait as the stock continues to grow while your loan is maturing, and when it's due, you borrow even more money against the new valuation and pay off the old loan." | Feb 03 09:31 |
| techrights-news | "Buybacks, then, are part of a system whereby rich people get much richer every time a company that makes something good and employs ordinary people guts itself and sets itself on the path to bankruptcy. Meanwhile, working people don't benefit from this system, even if they own stock" | Feb 03 09:32 |
| techrights-news | "This is why buybacks have apologists. Buybacks – a stock swindle that was illegal in living memory – make rich people richer, and they spend some of that loot to fund an army of reply-ghouls who push the message that buybacks are dividends by another name." | Feb 03 09:32 |
| techrights-news | "The ripoff economy is baked into the American experience. It is the foundation of Trumpism. It is the financial basis for things like "Project 2025" – literally! The Heritage Foundation (who created Project 2025) was founded and funded by the founders of Amway, a destructive Ponzi scheme that was rescued from criminal prosecution" | Feb 03 09:33 |
| techrights-news | "America is not great. It has been gutted by the Epstein class, who robbed us blind, raped our kids, and are now selling us shitcoins and chatbots and the spectacle of protesters being shot in the streets. But it's not enough to know that the system is rigged. Everybody knows the system is rigged. To build a movement and save our future, we have to know how it is rigged and who rigged it." | Feb 03 09:34 |

| Isambard_Prince | schestowitz[TR2], I can't think of a more boring time in tech. | Feb 03 18:38 |
| Isambard_Prince | Especially in Linux. | Feb 03 18:38 |
| Isambard_Prince | They've gotten everything so standardized on whatever Red Hat wants that there's no freedom for distributions to go their own way anymore and see what. | Feb 03 18:38 |
| Isambard_Prince | So I mean, in a system where nobody is obviously on top it's a marketplace of ideas. | Feb 03 18:39 |
| Isambard_Prince | But IBM doesn't want that, so they write a bunch of components that are modular so to speak, but they only work with each other, so really they're monolithic. | Feb 03 18:39 |
| Isambard_Prince | There is separation between programs, but when they can only function as a group that isn't modular in fact. | Feb 03 18:40 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | boring is desirtable | Feb 03 18:43 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | but they do worse than borting | Feb 03 18:43 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | they break for us things that worked | Feb 03 18:43 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | they also try to take away x11 | Feb 03 18:43 |

| Isambard_Prince | Yeah, it would be one thing if Wayland at least eventually got a feature like that and everything was normal again. | Feb 03 18:46 |

| Isambard_Prince | MinceR, Someone sued a full body MRI company recently. | Feb 03 22:26 |
| Isambard_Prince | Despite paying over $4,000 to them for a full body MRI that's not covered by insurance, they missed the signs of his impending stroke. | Feb 03 22:26 |
| Isambard_Prince | Whenever someone tells me something isn't covered by Medicare, I am immediately suspicious. | Feb 03 22:27 |
| MinceR | :> | Feb 03 22:27 |
| Isambard_Prince | Medicare covers all medically necessary conditions (outside of most dental and vision issues which would have to be under something else). | Feb 03 22:27 |
| MinceR | under 'pay out of your own pockets or suffer'? | Feb 03 22:28 |
| Isambard_Prince | Yeah, you have to get dental insurance somewhere else. | Feb 03 22:28 |
| Isambard_Prince | Or go to a school or something. | Feb 03 22:28 |
| MinceR | there's no dental insurance here, afaict | Feb 03 22:29 |

| MinceR | so far the only definition of 'ultra-processed' that i could find was that it was 'processed more than once' | Feb 03 23:36 |
| MinceR | and milling grain is 'processing', and baking is 'processing' | Feb 03 23:36 |
| MinceR | so bread is 'ultra-processed' | Feb 03 23:36 |
| MinceR | but at least i found one scaremongering article about 'processing' that at least made an attempt to define what it was talking about | Feb 03 23:37 |
