It's HIPAA, people. Write it down.

Not HIPPA or HIPPAA or however else you feel compelled to spell it.

HIPAA stands for Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996.

I post this not to be a dick, but because:

1) I work with it every day, and it drives me crazy when I see people misspell it.

2) Because when you invoke "HIPPA" when you argue with right-wingers, they will laugh at you, and deservedly so.

Whatever happened to "hygiene" films?

You know, those films they had in junior high that showed Bobby getting ready for his date with Mary. Watch Bobby brush his teeth. Watch Bobby pick out a nice set of clothes. Watch Bobby get a fucking haircut so he doesn't look like a goddamn Cro-Magnon. Watch Bobby call Mary and politely ask her if she would prefer a movie, roller skating, or dancing at the Elk's Club Youth Jamboree.

Do they still show these films in schools? Or is that material not covered on standardized tests?

It just seems like these "incel" losers missed a very important part of their education.
