I think we're talking about different things. There's a difference between not being allowed to play video games and having a video game schedule with max one hour a day vs an actual addiction, being unable to stop. In this thread we're referring to the people who treat it as a hobby, but who are not allowed to have it as a hobby.
Oh I agree the system is fucked and cobra is equally bad. Being forced into this system though I would urge people to have enough in savings so that if they are dropped tomorrow from insurance they can at least rest easy knowing they have health care. Individually be ready for that rainy day. Societally yes let's rip down our healthcare system
You are with your kin here
I mean, young people can't afford their houses, at some point something's gotta give, or yeah they'll sell them to corporations.
Yeah steams silence has been deafening through this. Itch came out and explained what was happening, GoG did this. All quiet from Steam.
That's okay, it's the purple on one the left. It's a big deal because as you can see, their network is more of a "hub and spoke" where all of the lines go through Manhattan. But if you want to go from Brooklyn to queens you have to take huge detours armnd roundabout ways to get there. This connects most of the lines at the edges
Kahn said looking back, she should have secured private health insurance as soon as she was laid off.
"I should have done COBRA, even though it was very expensive," Kahn said. "But yeah, hindsight is 20/20."
The near-$21,000 burden will probably lead to fewer vacations and a delay in having central air conditioning installed at her place, Kahn said.
She said she hopes others can learn from her misstep.
"It was my fault. I took the risk of not doing COBRA and that's forever on me," she said. "But if one person gets covered because they saw this story, then I would be happy about that.
Our system is fucked, that is for 100% sure. There should be no way that someone goes into medical debt because they were laid off, and we should fight to have a better system.
However, viewing the problem at the societal level and the individual level are different things. Societally we need to push for health care for all. Individually though - get COBRA, get on a spouse's plan, whatever you need to do. Don't risk it.
When was the last time anyone here ate at Arby's? It's one of those places for me at least that only gets brought up by my parents on where they want to go, and for me it's always ugh really?
It's so desperately needed. Anyone who has used the subway in NYC knows what a pain it is if you want to go between Brooklyn and queens. Best case you catch the G which if you're going to the outer side of the borough is still a long way out of your way. This would be a critical link between the very sprawling lines, and definitely will revitalize the outer edges
For those who remember, it was bad enough where it was memeable. Once your factory got to a certain size we would have to turn autosaves down to every half an hour because they would take over 3 minutes - or longer. It became a mandatory break time, to stand up and get a drink.
2 pizzas, a small order of breadsticks, and wanted to splurge and get cinnamon sticks.
Pizzas are a "Buy one get one deal!" at 13 bucks a pizza. Figured what the hell, I'll splurge on desert then with the deal. Get to checkout... hold on a minute.... 50 dollars for pizza?! Wait a minute 80 dollars after fees and taxes?!
Usually I only use Doordash for finding something, then I order direct from the store. I just saw the sweet "buy one get one" deal and thought eh, fine I'm here. Right, that's why I stopped using door dash. I'm not spending 80 dollars on freaking pizza. I'll just go pick it up and spend a quarter of that price.
At least I would have saved the $3 dollar delivery fee. Phew. Thanks DoorDash.
Another day in “oh my god @taylorswift is so effing classy” land. Opened a package today that had an @mtv case inside and thought “who worked at MTV?! Me? Charlie?…” What a delightful surprise! My 90’s girl heart is bursting. Thank you for sending me an MTVVMA, Taylor. What a joy you are. And thanks to the rest of my #antihero family @birbigs and @bejohnce 👯♂️👯♂️ #mtvvma #kimber
I've done renegade runs dozens of times where I'm a dick to most people, but my crew is hard. I've only successfully done it once where I was a dick to everyone. At the end all but I think grunt survived 2 or something. Avoided any loyalty missions where I couldn't see value in it. Mission always comes first. It was horrible. It was the saddest. Party. Ever.
