Ashley Posted December 10, 2024 Posted December 10, 2024 I was listening to PSA this morning and they said a majority (can't remember the exact percentage) of Americans are happy with their health insurance even though many said they'd had problems with it and all I could think was "how?! Why?! How?!" I presume it comes from a combination of mistrust in the government (any government) to do it properly and "that thar is communism!" kind of thing but even so, it's so baffling to me.
bob Posted December 10, 2024 Posted December 10, 2024 I enjoyed a post i saw on Reddit that said that Americans had finally found a way to deal with their health insurance problem with their gun violence problem.

I'm "okay" with mine, definitely not happy. Our plan is pretty good for a company that has ~1500 employees. It's actually better than what my wife could get from her employer who, get this, is actually in healthcare and is one of the largest employers in our state. But why should our health insurance be tied to our jobs?
martinist Posted December 12, 2024 Posted December 12, 2024 I've just came back from day surgery. Never have a flexible cystoscopy. It's like sounding but they go right into the bladder. Fun times. Also my bladder is full of crystals and i'm pissing blood.

A mate said: "hey, maybe sounding will be your new kink." I can, with 100% certainty, say: No, it won't! 21 minutes ago, martinist said: Also my bladder is full of crystals and i'm pissing blood. Oh boy, hope you'll feel better soon 1
Julius Posted Monday at 11:16 PM Posted Monday at 11:16 PM Just seen a couple of GIFs from the inauguration, and...good lord. Musk very clearing doing a Nazi salute...twice. The title of a Guardian article I saw the other day pretty much nailed exactly how I felt about all this: I knew one day I'd have to watch powerful men burn the world down – I just didn't expect them to be such losers Good luck to everyone over the pond. 1
FalcoLombardi Posted Tuesday at 11:53 AM Posted Tuesday at 11:53 AM Yeah I expected it to be bad. But this bad from, like, just 10 minutes in? Good luck to us all. I don't like that I'm saying this but I'm just hoping a whole bunch of them get strokes and die. 2
Nolan Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago Yeah it’s not swell, and there’s a staggering amount of defense for it. Banning Nazis is somehow controversial in the US 1

Finally pulled the plug on my Twitter account after that. I'd been putting it off hoping this forum software would update to allow embeds from alternatives, but I'd rather deal with no embeds then being there any longer. Actual insanity.
