Newer Dimension 20 fans might look at Liv attempting to hack Usha’s brain by crushing it just the perfect amount and think “this is completely unhinged and obviously totally unprecedented”, but it is actually no less than the fifth time a PC has done impromptu untrained surgery on another character, the third time on another PC, in D20 history.

So, safe to say it’s practically par for the course at this point.

It gets so hard to breath when I see a reference to something I like

I watching Liv Pearsall showing songs that spell words and she put "I AM THE A-L. E-X. A-N. D. E-R. WE ARE MEANT TO BE" and I just "AAAAAAAAAAH" *stops breathing*

Then I watched her doing Aaron Burr Sir sped up acting by herself and I just started acting and mouthing the lyrics too and walking around my room even if it's past 11 at night and I should be sleeping and I have to wake up early tomorrow

Watch "the Censored version of Ain’t Sh*t by Doja is sending me-" on YouTube

I don't know why but this made me laugh so hard (giggles)😊

Hexagøn: *holding up headphones* “Hey guys, so I got some noise-cancelling headphones for my birthday. They’re even bigger than my old ones!”

Hexagøn: *putting them on* “Now without further ado, let’s try these on.”

Hexagøn: “Hm. These ain’t half ba-.”

Headphones: *in a demonic voice* “Noise said the N-word!”

Hexagøn: *long pause* …Huh…

My live action HTTYD fancast (updated):

With the movie coming out this year, I decided to do an updated version of my fancast.

(I would use hair dye or wigs for actors with inaccurate hair colors).

Hiccup - Braxton Bjerken(18) or Asher Angel(22).

Astrid - Indigo Carey(18) or Freya Allan(23).

Stoic - Gerard Butler.

Gobber - Kristopher Hivju or Nick Frost.

Fishlegs - Julian Dennison(22).

Snotlout - Jack Dylan Grazer(21), Gabriel Howell(I can't find his age), or Dean Charles Chapman(27).

Ruffnut - Liv Pearsall(26). Watch this video, and you'll understand.

Tuffnut - Jacob Bertrand(24).

Honestly, most of the actual casting choices are "fine". The only ones I really have a problem with are Ruffnut's actress and Tuffnut's actor. They are both 30+, and Ruffnut's actress looks nothing like her. I have a bit of a problem with Nico Parker as Astrid, but I'd be fine with her if they had just given her a blonde wig or hair dye.

Liv Pearsall cooked with the line "Harris has a vision for the future, and Trump has a vision of the past."

She's absolutely right too

holy fuck

if you/someone you know use UHC, makes sure whoever pays for your/their healthcare - you/them, a spouse, family, whatever - knows about this because to quote a content creator i follow called liv pearsall, "what in, and i do not say this lightly, fresh hell"

also, if you're like me (in my case it's autism but it could be something else for you) and struggle with understand big, fancy words (like the article) i ran the article through this informalizer to make a more simple version. it's under the cut! :)

Yo, so here's the deal. UnitedHealthcare, the biggest health insurance company in the US, is supposedly using this totally messed up AI algorithm to screw over old folks and deny them the coverage they really need. It's a total mess. These elderly patients are getting booted out of rehab and care facilities way too early, and they're being forced to drain their savings just to get the care that should be covered by their Medicare Advantage Plan.

And get this, someone actually filed a lawsuit about it. It's going down in the US District Court for the District of Minnesota. The lawsuit is all about how UnitedHealth denied health coverage to two people who eventually died. But it's not just about them — there could be thousands of other people in similar situations.

This lawsuit lines up with an investigation by Stat News that basically supports all the claims. Stat got their hands on internal documents and talked to former employees of NaviHealth, which is a subsidiary of UnitedHealth that created this messed up AI algorithm called nH Predict.

One former employee, Amber Lynch, spilled the tea to Stat. She used to work for NaviHealth and said that the whole company cared more about money than actually helping patients. She hated how they treated patients like data points instead of human beings.

Here's the deal with nH Predict. It started being used by UnitedHealth back in November 2019, and they're still using it. Basically, this algorithm tries to guess how much care a patient on Medicare Advantage will need after they have, like, a big injury or illness. Stuff like therapy and skilled care in hospitals and nursing homes.

No one really knows how nH Predict works exactly, but it apparently takes info from a database with cases from 6 million patients. The case managers at NaviHealth put in some details about a patient, like age and living situation, and the algorithm spits out estimates based on similar patients in the database. It tries to figure out stuff like how long the patient will need care and when they can be discharged.

But here's the problem — the algorithm doesn't take a bunch of important factors into account, like other medical issues the patient might have or if they catch something like pneumonia or COVID-19 during their stay. It's a mess.

According to the investigation and the lawsuit, the estimates the algorithm gives are usually way off. With nH Predict, patients are hardly ever getting the full 100 days of covered care they're supposed to get in a nursing home. Usually, they only get like 14 days before UnitedHealth denies payment.

And get this, when patients or their doctors ask to see the algorithm's reports, UnitedHealth just says no and claims it's top secret. And if the doctors try to disagree with UnitedHealth's decision, tough luck. UnitedHealth just overrides them.

This whole thing is messed up, but sadly it's not the first time the healthcare industry has screwed up with AI. They've been doing this racist algorithm stuff for a while now. But what makes this situation even worse is that it seems like UnitedHealth is deliberately denying coverage to save money.

Ever since UnitedHealth bought NaviHealth, former employees say the company cares more about hitting targets and making post-acute care as short and cheap as possible. They even have requirements for case managers to follow the algorithm's predictions. If they don't, they could get in trouble or even lose their jobs.

Apparently, case managers are trained to defend the algorithm's estimates to patients and their caregivers. They use all these tactics to shut down any objections. Like, if a nursing home doesn't want to let a patient leave, the case manager will say the patient doesn't need certain care because of some calorie rule. It's like they don't even care about the patients.

And even if patients manage to win an appeal and get the denial overturned, UnitedHealth just comes right back with another denial a few days later. It's a never-ending cycle.

The lawsuit is fighting back against UnitedHealth and NaviHealth for all this shady behavior. They're accusing them of breaking contracts, not acting in good faith, unfairly getting rich, and violating insurance laws in a bunch of states. They want damages, emotional distress compensation, and for UnitedHealth to stop using the AI-based claims denials.

We don't know exactly how much money UnitedHealth saves with nH Predict, but it's gotta be a crazy amount. Last year, the CEO made almost $21 million, and other execs made millions too.

In the end, it's just a messed up situation. These elderly people are getting screwed over by an AI algorithm that values money over their health. It's not cool, and something needs to change.

UnitedHealthcare, the largest health insurance company in the US, is allegedly using a deeply flawed AI algorithm to override doctors' judgments and wrongfully deny critical health coverage to elderly patients. This has resulted in patients being kicked out of rehabilitation programs and care facilities far too early, forcing them to drain their life savings to obtain needed care that should be covered under their government-funded Medicare Advantage Plan.

It's not just flawed, it's flawed in UnitedHealthcare's favor.

That's not a flaw... that's fraud.

Brace yourselves because I’m about to post a ton of quotes from various books and videos; hope you enjoy and are inspired.

I saw some TikToks made by Liv Pearsall, who acts out and explains stories from the Bible, in a humorous way. Here is how she told the story of Mary and Martha:

Jesus says to Martha, who was busy cooking and cleaning, “Sometimes you just need to chillax and let me love you!”
