In the days leading up to the Saturday deadline to enroll for 2019 coverage under the Affordable Care Act, former president Barack Obama said he was hopeful that he wouldn’t need to shoot jump shots or hang out with comedian Zach Galifianakis to convince people to sign up this year, even with fewer people choosing a plan on Healthcare.gov. But Obama’s optimism about the ACA during the Trump administration would be challenged when a federal judge in Texas ruled the entire law unconstitutional on Friday night. U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor’s ruling on a lawsuit filed by a coalition of Republican state officials has the potential to cause massive disruption across the health-care system if the opinion stands, The Washington Post’s Amy Goldstein reported. Obama responded on Saturday by saying in a Facebook post that “Republicans will never stop trying to undo” the health-care law and urging people to continue to get covered under the ACA as the … [Read more...] about “Republicans will never stop”: Obama rips GOP after the Affordable Care Act ruled unconstitutional

12 G-spot myths you need to stop believing
Myths about the G-spot – the erogenous zone supposedly inside the vagina that can help a person achieve a particular kind of orgasm – are astoundingly common. It’s a myth that there’s no sure way to find the famed G-spot. The G-spot is not an actual organ. In-and-out penetrative sex is not the best way to achieve G-spot orgasms for most. Men do not have a G-spot. When it comes to the “Big O,” there are many different ideas and myths that surround it. And while it’s no secret that there are different options to getting to what’s often referred to as “the sexual finish line,” there’s still much information that we aren’t privy to on the subject. Case in point: the G-spot. Although we hear about the G-spot delivering what could be the best orgasm you’ve ever felt – if you’ve never felt it yourself, how do you know if it’s true? Likewise, how do you even know if the G-spot exists? If … [Read more...] about 12 G-spot myths you need to stop believing
8 myths about prenups you should stop believing
Kristine Solomon, provided by Published 11:29 am CDT, Monday, October 15, 2018 IVASHstudio/Shutterstock When you're planning a wedding to the love of your life — especially if you're a romantic — a prenuptial agreement is probably not your highest priority. But maybe it should be. "A lot of issues come up in the course of a marriage," Leslie J. Wilsher, an attorney who specializes in premarital and marital agreements, told Business Insider. "Should the worst happen, it's better to have worked through everything while you're still speaking to each other and care about each other." Prenups have gotten such a terrible rap in pop culture that it's no wonder people get cold feet just talking about them. Why would someone want to sign a legal document sealing their fate to get divorced? It's this very mentality that invites misunderstanding. Here, we took eight of the most common myths associated with prenups and married them to the facts. 1. Prenups aren't … [Read more...] about 8 myths about prenups you should stop believing
12 bad and outdated job-hunting tips you should stop believing
There are job search tips that you might still receive that are just… bad. Some tips are simply outdated. For instance, you don’t necessarily need to wear a suit to an interview anymore. Don’t listen to advice that tells you to follow your passion no matter what. Think about how your interests can change, or how you can help the world. Gone are the days where you could send your resume to a few dozen companies, pour yourself into your best suit for the interview, and have a steady, 9-to-5 job with benefits and a pension. Now, you’ll have to be a bit more inventive to get your dream job, said The Muse expert career coach Evangelia Leclaire. “Job seekers need stop believing that a linear and congruent career path and long term employment at one or a few companies is what will give them a competitive edge,” Leclaire, who is also founder and chief evangelist of Ready Set Rock Academy, told Business Insider. “That’s just not the norm … [Read more...] about 12 bad and outdated job-hunting tips you should stop believing
Facebook can never stop fake news, and still be Facebook
In a meeting with a group of journalists in New York City last week, Facebook laid out its strategy for controlling fake news on its platform. The company plans to let users vote news stories up or down based on their credibility, on the assumption that the ones with fewer votes would show up in feeds less often. But Facebook will not delete even the most obviously fake or already-debunked news stories. This may sound like Facebook is just taking the easy way out of a difficult problem–relying on users to sift through the BS. But there’s more to it than that, I’d argue. What makes fake news so wildly successful on Facebook has also helped the social network grow to an astounding 2.2 billion users. We woke up to the reality that Facebook had been weaponized as a propaganda platform shortly after the election of Donald Trump in November 2016. Bogus news stories had been shared far more than real ones, research showed, especially those relating to the presidential … [Read more...] about Facebook can never stop fake news, and still be Facebook
