Is it a HIPPA violation if a boss told guys he was in rehab before he even got out? I think it is🤷🏼‍♂️

HIPAA only covers the electronic transmission and disclosure of medical information. Unless the boss is providing the rehab services to the employee, they are probably not in violation. You can see what HIPAA covers by checking out the HHS webpage on it.

How do you decide which questions to answer?

By how I feel about the question or the answer. This one felt like I had something to say about it, and it was an actual question.

Do you find it perfectly fine for someone who is 20+ to still live with their parents and not working anywhere (like me)? My little sister’s friends told my little sister that I should’ve been out of the house at 18 and I hate how that’s the “norm” these days.

The average age to move out of your parents house is somewhere between 24 and 27 in the US. 18 isn't the "norm" and hasn't been for as far back as I've seen data on it.

do most atheists say "happy holidays" or replace 'christmas' with 'xmas' to cancel the christ?

"Happy holidays" is easier than saying "Happy -Hanuka -Christmas -Kwanza -New years", which are all celebrated around the same time. It's even just easier than "Merry Chirstmas and Happy New year". They are all holidays. And the "X" is a Greek "chi" (the first syllable of Christ), and xmas was an abbreviation created by Christians, so not sure where the idea that it "cancels the christ" came from. "the term's usage dates back to the 16th century,and corresponds to Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Church of England, and Episcopalian[6] liturgical use of various forms of chi-rho monogram. In English, "X" was first used as a scribal abbreviation for "Christ" in 1100; "X'temmas" is attested in 1551, and "Xmas" in 1721.[7]"
