  • If there’s an inheritance, then the inheritance gets chipped away at until it’s either gone or the debt is paid.

    Then, the beneficiary gets what’s left.

    How it works if the house was his, I don’t know. Defer to an attorney. You should defer to an attorney anyway. In addition, unless you can legally claim common law wife in your state, if there’s no written, legally notarized will, in most cases the default inheritance is going to be parents or kids. Again, you should talk to an attorney.

    But no, legally, you’re not personally responsible for his hospital bills or anything like that. Send them all death certificates and then return to sender or whatever his bills until they stop.

    Since loan sharks are outside the law there’s no telling what could happen there.





  • I realize younger people probably don’t feel this so viscerally, but shorts (not all, but many) are very in tune with old TV advertising format. It’s like an endless stream of Super Bowl ads, at best. Repetitive music. Designed for the short attention span. Makes you seek a product, in this case, more of itself.

    Now, look at the “upcycled” (/s) version of YouTubr content. Reused video clips with a shiny, hyper-reactive talking head in front of it. Not human expression but caricatures thereof. Millions of views. Millions of viewers. For years. Not of human faces but caricatures of human faces. This garbage won’t go away because it’s consistantly being watched.

    Now, after all that priming, introduce AI into the two most popular social medias, short form and long form.

    How does this fully primed crowd know the difference? How would they suddenly feel the need to leave? Not you or me, but the people who consume the ad clones and charicaturized crap daily? The same people who slide their phones out of their pockets to scroll shorts, on automatic, whenever they have 5 free minutes at work. How do they even spot the difference after years of consuming garbage?

    TLDR Less human interaction + more fake, caricaturized human vid content = where we are now, with AI on social media.








  • I’m still not clear on exactly what triggers this. Is it phone location, because a phone number is linked to all your data (unless you’ve been gaming it for the last 5-10yrs)? Do I walk by with my phone and the price goes up?

    Is it like goodwill? Does the price change as you’re checking out? Do I grab a 2lb bag of medium roast coffee beans for $13, and because buying it consistently for decades, it’s now $18 at checkout? But is still $13 for the guy behind me who decided to try whole bean over pre-ground?

    If rich people turn off their phones before hitting the parking lot and poor people leave theirs on, does the entire store get cheaper?

    If you take a pic with your phone of the “advertised” price does that mitigate sudden increases while checking out, if you’re even watching?

    Does having your unemployed, deadbeat uncle or kid do the shopping from their phone make it cheaper for the household?

    What are the triggers?
