I did find someone making that argument, you. I don't think asking for one example out of a hundred is asking for an in depth discussion, but if you claim this is too much for you then I won't push the issue.
He's saying that there's shampoo in the shower but he didn't use it (implied) -- however, the question wasn't about the presence of shampoo in the shower.
You absolutely can measure "various aspects of consciousness" -- for example, "how much of the last 24h has this consciousness been awake" seems simple. So your definition seems kind of weak, could you be more precise?
Conversely, in your definition, is consciousness the only "thing" that you would describe as not being able to measure various aspects about it? Are there any other objects or concepts which you also cannot measure various aspects about? If yes, what differentiates those things from consciousness?
Can someone who fell for the 7%+ return explain which part you got tricked by? Was it just not registering as red flag to offer such a high, risk free rate? Or did you believe it wasn’t risk free, but thought the risk of it turning into this situation too low/zero?
How much of the decision was based on using the claimed FDIC insurance as a limiter on the downside risk?
I don’t mean any antagonism by these questions, I’m personally curious what is the thought process to get involved with this investment option.
Here’s a question I’ve wanted to ask — how many people just don’t take photos? I don’t have any philosophical bone to pick with it, I still take a photo if I need to reference something like where I parked; but I used to take photos on my phone at probably a normal frequency when I first became an adult, and I realized after a few years that I had never looked back on any photos I’d taken, so I just stopped taking them afterwards and never really felt any loss from not having them.
Incidentally, one unintended consequence of this behavior is realizing just how insignificant of a difference there is between smartphones even over 5+ years, if the camera is zero value add.
>If the hospital/provider sends your bill to a collections agency, then it can definitely show up on your reports.
So I agree this was the impression I got in theory, but in practice I’ve never seen this happen. Why is there this mismatch? I check my credit reports once a year, there’s nothing showing up
But I guess that’s my whole point is once they sell it to collectors it’s equivalent to the bill not existing? My confusion is around wondering if I’ve somehow fallen through the cracks and got lucky or other people have the same experience.
Why do other people pay bills they receive in the mail?
