And why, again, doesn’t medical debt get dissolved through insolvency… genius?
Because not all debt gets dissolved through insolvency in probate. You don’t even know the words. Because I know have experience on the subject in general, it’s rather trivial to see what the circumstances are in the US. Which are that because of FILIAL RESPONSIBLITY LAWS, not all debt gets dissolved through insolvency.
I feel like I’m kinda repeating myself here.
Comedian story isn’t plausible because child support debt doesn’t fall under filial responsibility laws. The end.
Source: your sweaty (and probably overweight) ass.
So now you’re on the “nuh-uh, my ‘nuh-uh’ is way more credible of a source than Wikipedia and Investopedia” rhetoric? Ugh. Remember how I called your rhetoric childish before? Yeah I take that back. In comparison, the earlier wasn’t this childish.

Do you care to point out anything specific from that article
I do. The part which I screencapped and linked, which states:
You may inherit a parent’s medical debt if you live in a state with filial responsibility laws. “These laws may require children of a deceased parent to pay back medical bills if the deceased’s assets are insufficient,” says Tayne. “Filial laws exist in 30 states and vary in their protocols and processes.”
Seeing how you’re saying you’re not wrong, while also just a couple of replies earlier you said:
The Wikipedia article you just linked has nothing to do with debt in general. The debt referred to in that article refers specifically to caring for your parents, not assuming their debt for other things (medical bills for previous procedures, credit cards, loans, etc.)
Where you SPECIFY medical bills. When in fact medical debt is literally said to be an exception which you can inherit from your parents BECAUSE OF FILIAL RESPONSIBILITY LAWS.
What is it that you’re not understanding, honestly, do tell? The answer is “nothing”, I know. You know you’re wrong and you know you’re pulling arguments from your arse with someone who actually has experience and literal education on the subject. That’s why you can’t actually discuss this with someone, even when were having the discussion in your language.
Not all debt is dissolved through insolvency SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE of filial responsibility laws.
You’re trying to disprove the comedian’s bit never happened. You can’t prove a negative, silly, but we can definitely show that it’s a plausible scenario, because of those filial responsibility laws YOU CLAIM HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS.

Why would it matter where I’m from?
Facts are facts. Or are you saying that you’re allowed to just say “nuh-uh, facts don’t matter, I’m American and thus I’m right about everything remotely American”?
Because… that’s quite childish.
“Filial responsibility laws have nothing to do with debt!”
How about you actually try reading my replies to you, with thought? Do you think you’re capable of that? Eh, I’ll simplify, just to be safe.
USUALLY, when a person dies and they don’t have enough funds to pay off everything, the debts are dissolved. That’s how it works in the civilised world.
In the US, the bastion of capitalism, however, some debts aren’t dissolve despite insolvency because these American filial responsibility laws make it so certain debt, like medical debt or not having paid child support, isn’t dissolved.
investopedia.com/can-you-inherit-debt-from-your-p…
Line I said I assume you already know how little you know about this subject and instead of gracefully bowing out you’re going all in. Then you’ll get personal while absolutely not being able to address the actual subject, which you’re clearly wrong about. Then you’ll devolve into one word replies like “k” or something and then in a few weeks when the thread is hundreds of replies deep, you’ll just give up and make a new account because of your post history.
So perhaps let’s just skip all that and you just say “ye, right, my bad. TIL, thanks”?

And you’re still not as credible.
I’ve read insane things like that from the stated, from credible sources.
You know for a fact it didn’t happen?
Filial responsibility laws have nothing to do with debt to the state. If that’s how Finland works, I think it’s pretty fucked up.
Finland doesn’t have filial responsibility laws.
en.m.wikipedia.org/…/Filial_responsibility_laws
Filial responsibility laws (filial support laws, filial piety laws) are laws in the United States
#“… in the United States”
You don’t seem to understand what I’ve explained to you about insolvency and debt. Guess you’re just one of those “I can’t be wrong” people.
- Comment on Grandma is on her own 50 minutes ago:
Literally just buried my grandma this year and dad a few years ago.
Here… In FINLAND. Where the laws of the United States of America do NOT apply.
Yes, it refers to taking care of your parents. Ie for instance being responsible for them, fiscally. For instance, having responsibility over the debt they’ve accumulated to the state.
When someone dies they and theyre declares insolvent, you imagine it just applies to all fiscal responsibility of that person.
It doesn’t. The filial responsibility laws exempt that debt to the state from being able to be dissolved through insolvency.
And tbh, that guy with his own face and own name, despite being it being a bit from standup, is more credible than you are.

at your vehicle.
See that’s making assumptions, my American friend.
I see deer all the time and I have a bow, although not a hunting bow, and I don’t think it’d take me that much practice to pass the shooting test for a hunting license with a bow.
But I’d have to field dress it then carry/bike it back to my apartment. And I grow weed, which is illegal, so I don’t know if I want giving cops anymore excuses with my annoying neighbours calling the cops over things they’re not used to, or in the worst case, like a trail of blood going to my door. (Obviously there wouldn’t be trail, you’d have it in packs or bags, but like, metaphorically.)
Also my freezer is nowhere near big enough for even a small deer.
That’d save me money though, and it’d be an experience, but honestly, it’s just easier for me to grow weed, sell some, then use that cash to buy game from the butcher’s.
I could look into joining a hunting group, but I live in the city and most hunting groups are in the towns outside the city, and you can’t join them unless you live in the same municipality.
A car would be great. If I manage to buy myself a station wagon and a chest freezer, I’ll reconsider the hunting bit.

Forgive me for not taking the word of a random Lemming.
When someone dies, you tally it all up, people get paid out of the estate in a certain order of precedence, if the money runs out, the money runs out. If there’s money over, it gets divvied up according to inheritance laws of that state.
Yes, that’s basically how the process works. I’ve read inheritance law. (As in actually an official, graded course, albeit I’m no lawyer obviously. Just elective.) I’ve just not read ALL the inheritance law, EVERYWHERE. Have you?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filial_responsibility_laws
#Filial responsibility laws (filial support laws, filial piety laws) are laws in the United States that impose a duty, usually upon adult children, for the support of their impoverished parents or other relatives.
- Comment on Grandma is on her own 3 hours ago:
I don’t see how that explains the story in the clip?
I don’t think the article covers all the state-level filial responsibility laws. There’s a ton of state level legislation after all.
Or it might be that the debt the guy is talking about in the clip isn’t legally enforceable, but it sounds like debt to the state, which is why he seemed to inherit it in the first place, it wasn’t just like a regular credit line.
- Comment on Grandma is on her own 3 hours ago:
I’m not sure the whole “debts aren’t inherited” part applies everywhere.
Certainly does in my country. Although like in the rare instance there was something you absolutely wanted to inherit, but there was also a mountain of debt, you couldn’t decide to inherit without also taking on the debt. Even if that inherited thing was literally worthless and would not yield anything when sold.
Although such an object would probably be able to gifted, but like technically, that’s how it’d go.
But here’s the bit that actually made me write my comment:
youtube.com/shorts/_pkNndF6O_M
Idk how it works where that guy lives, but it’s clip from an American standup, talking about inherited debt. Might just be made up, obviously, but according to this article more than half the states still have “filial responsibility” laws.
These laws are holdovers from a time when debtors prisons existed, says McDowell, and are rarely enforced. Their use has faded since the 1965 creation of Medicare — the health coverage program for people 65 and over — and Medicaid, the health coverage program for the poor.

Not gonna lie, I’m super jealous after reading that.
Not with the experiences of chickenhouses, I’ve seen the inside of industrial meat production as well. I didn’t see any live ones, so I haven’t been at a slaughterer’s.
But like jealous of the possibility to build a farm.
I’d probably give my left testicle if I could go from this bureaucratic bullshit to sort of homesteading. But in Finland, never gonna happen for me. Way too fucking expensive. And big brother got the family house (at an unfairly discounted rate as well.)
I’ve been thinking of just hunting despite living in an apartment. It’s legal. I’d have to prolly use a bow but thats no issue. (Not the accuracy or knowing how to draw one in general). Even if I did everything legally, I’m pretty sure someone might call the cops if I had a carcasa on my balcony. And despite it being legal, I can’t them coming over because of the weed I grow.
But like a chest freezer.
Factory farming should be abolished.
Yup. Small scale farming at most and well regulated at that.

Eh, we may have a slightly different outlook on the utilisation of dead animal parts, but how we gain most of them is definitely fucked. As in, most industrial farms are just animal cruelty. But I don’t know that I’d make the same argument necessarily for small-scale farming, given proper regulations.
And hunting is just a thing that genuinely needs doing in certain places. I’m strongly against trophy-hunting of any sort, fuck that, but my brother helping cull the local deer population since humans got rid of apex predators around here ages ago and the ecology and the deer themselves would get utterly fucked if they weren’t culled.
That’s ideologically how I feel. I don’t mind cooking meat. But then like… could I butcher an animal? Like from live animal to a plate? I genuinely don’t know. I’d know how to, but I don’t know if “I had what it took”. And I’d like to, since it’d feel hypocritical eating animals if I didn’t have the capability. When I was in the army, had I lived up north in Finland, the supply NCO’s training there did actually butcher cows afaik. And I learned like how to execute various animals, were there a need for it, but just theoretically. (There’s like a slightly different place on the forehead that you want to pop the bolt gun into, because most massive herbivores have kinda large and differently shaped skulls.)
Sorry if this is like too much “graphic” info or something. We’re not on a vegan community so I hope a respectful disagreement is allowed. And I’m only assuming disagreement, though, but username and the comment, I’m assuming perhaps you don’t utilise animal products. I may be mistaken idk. Apologies if so.
I don’t eat a lot of meat and I prioritise game and if that’s not available, sometimes horse and yes, sometimes beef as well. But I feel like Finland has pretty decent regulations when it comes to treating them, but that’s an excuse for my own moral failings, no factory farming is good.

“Ferdman found that one single McDonald’s patty can contain the meat of up to a shocking 100 cows.”
If it’s just the number of cows, then, idk man, feels like it would be higher in a bag of gummy bears, because those bears have various tastes, so they’re obviously form a few different lines, and those lines make those gummies from a huge vat of some sort, and that vat is from an earlier even larger vat, which is boiled down the bones from — I’m assuming here — more than a 100 cows in total.

I now understand cat language.
Nah, it’s just the parasites in their poop which infest your brain and make you ignore what little assholes they are.
In rodents, T. gondii alters behavior in ways that increase the rodents’ chances of being preyed upon by felids. Support for this “manipulation hypothesis” stems from studies showing that T. gondii-infected rats have a decreased aversion to cat urine while infection in mice lowers general anxiety, increases explorative behaviors and increases a loss of aversion to predators in general. Because cats are one of the only hosts within which T. gondii can sexually reproduce, such behavioral manipulations are thought to be evolutionary adaptations that increase the parasite’s reproductive success since rodents that do not avoid cat habitations will more likely become cat prey. The primary mechanisms of T. gondii–induced behavioral changes in rodents occur through epigenetic remodeling in neurons that govern the relevant behaviors (e.g. hypomethylation of arginine vasopressin-related genes in the medial amygdala, which greatly decrease predator aversion).
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxoplasma_gondii#Behavio…
They say it’s “generally asymptomatic in humans”, but that’s just the parasites talking.

- Comment on Take a deep breath and think about it 2 days ago:
My line of thought for this is that stressing about whether you’ll have enough money to cover rent won’t make it any easier to cover rent. Happiness is more about mindset than circumstances
No… but if you don’t worry about it at all, you won’t pay it. You need to be able to pay it. Which means having to get money. Which means having to do things. Which means having to plan. Which means thinking about the future.
I do not see how your millionaires explanation is in any way relevant, as they are still won’t be living from paycheck to paycheck.
- Comment on Take a deep breath and think about it 2 days ago:

If you have enough money to not worry about your next month’s rent, it’s rather easier to “live in the present”.

To be fair, it would be easier if English had kept the English terms for anatomy.
Feel free to have a look-see at what that could look like. Taxonomy isn’t “taxonomy” anymore, it’s “setlore.” Find that easier to understand?
anglish.fandom.com/wiki/Lifelore (“Lifelore” is biology)
It’s an “Anglish” wiki, based on Paul Andersson’s “Uncleftish Beholding”, a text that’s trying to see what English would look like if it didn’t have latin borrowings as much, just the teutonic words.
Here’s some atomic theory ie “uncleftish beholding”.
The firststuffs have their being as motes called unclefts. These are mighty small: one seedweight of waterstuff holds a tale of them like unto two followed by twenty-two naughts. Most unclefts link together to make what are called bulkbits. Thus, the waterstuff bulkbit bestands of two waterstuff unclefts, the sourstuff bulkbit of two sourstuff unclefts, and so on. (Some kinds, such as sunstuff, keep alone; others, such as iron, cling together in chills when in the fast standing; and there are yet more yokeways.) When unlike unclefts link in a bulkbit, they make bindings. Thus, water is a binding of two waterstuff unclefts with one sourstuff uncleft, while a bulkbit of one of the forestuffs making up flesh may have a thousand or more unclefts of these two firststuffs together with coalstuff and chokestuff.
- Comment on Anon loves The Lord of the Rings 1 week ago:
The reason for me to play Breath of the Wild was my nostalgia for Ocarina of Time. It’s just impossible to explain to people what wondrous fantasy it was when it came out in the 90’s. An open-world game, 3D, on console, with a joystick, with glorious music? I know you zoomers can read and understand those words, but you genuinely can’t understand the feeling.
The world didn’t have the internet, or games, really. TV had like a few channels. You wouldn’t be able to ever choose what you wanted to watch unless you had a video, and those weren’t too plentiful. If you ever liked a TV-show, then the timeslot of that TV-show made you go watch it at a certain time, or at the least go through telling your mom how to program the VCR for it and hope it gets recorded. Games were mostly just 2D.
And then you load into OOT menu on N64 a year later, and start the story with the FPV camera flying around. It was amazing.
