lol with stanford buying out the master lease for that place they got to dictate rent increases (which were zero while we were there) we were still paying a little over $4k/month for a 2br 2ba 975sqft unit. i bet it's still the same now too a comparable place across the street built about a year or so earlier had same size units at ~$5700/month, probably over $6k now, and there were ofc more expensive places right around there too

i live in a weird time and place right now, because people with money on the coasts have been moving inland to Outdoor magazine's "top 10 places to live", since the fires of last year. as a result, they've been snapping up property, and the rent has gone up 1000%. for most people. the livable income raise doesn't really adjust to that, so more and more people have been forced to move. it loving sucks.

i listened to some podcast about a father whose daughter needed some medication that would delay puberty (she was starting ridiculously young), and it's a drug that, in a *slightly* smaller dosage (like, micrograms smaller) is also approved for use for prostate cancer. the puberty version was something like $30k and his insurance would cover part of it - he'd still ahve to pay like $5k out of pocket or something. the prostate cancer version was like $9k and they absolutely refused to pay even a dime for it since it wasn't approved for that use, even though the doctor said it was totally fine since it's a slightly smaller dose of the same thing. he fought and fought and ultimately just had to go with the approved version, even though he was basically fighting to save the insurance company money. this country is hosed.

i'm 35 and not in a relationship so my assumption at this point is that i'm not having kids if things get to the point next year where i feel comfortable going into a doctor's office for elective procedures, i'll probably go get the snip. assuming i don't die first in a subduction fault earthquake, or post election-cancellation riots, or just throwing a random brain clot or something

I took all my pairs of shorts, none of which that have been worn since last august, out and put them in drawers.

Looking a lot like we'll be missing next one too because the last 6 months haven't shown much progress in properly getting rid of covid, I'm not betting anything on the next 6 either! 2022. Summer. Is the most optimistic prediction for when things might be normal again (they won't: climate change is exponentially exploding, annual catastrophic fires and weather events will now happen multiple times a year forever in the US, australia, brazil and soon to be siberia too, monetary systems are transparently shams. There is no future.) Even if covid does go away by 2022, it'll still be here and you'll now have regular international full lockdowns after every ebola/hiv/mad cow/zika/swine flu/bird flu/sars scare Just To Be Safe.

President Beep posted:with both our kids my wife had bad morning sickness in the first trimester and then contractions for two and three. it was pretty rough on her. we had a woman who had bad constipation from the ondansetron she had for morning sickness and hadn’t taken a poo poo for like 17 days. LOL god this earnings chat makes me depressed. gently caress pharmacy is over in this country. economy is bad enough as it is but no pay rises for half a decade is a decent pay cut considering increased living costs. credit card debt makes me depressed every second of the day. pretty high chance i’ll have a stroke leaving me with only one functioning limb the day I get out of debt. LOL i have a two bedroom. i’m so desperate to give my kids a room each, but i’d have to borrow to transform half the garage into a bedroom.. 😔 more debt sweet. i’m this close to taking up a sunday job even if it isn’t pharmacy just to try to make the debt number go down, it’s been going down lately, very slowly, but only coz i’ve had a 6 month mortgage holiday which ends in a month, then i have no idea how i’ll make it go down. i hate myself for my terrible financial skills. LOL. my gfs continuing to dominate tho salary wise and ex wife seems to be doing great with her business and i’d rather be the sad one because it’d probably be more depressing to be ok but watch the mother of my children struggle. LOL

COVID has been such a massive net benefit for me and it is extremely hard to square that circle with the knowledge that people I know/the world just are suddenly turbofucked. I had a complete breakdown at work and all that happened was me getting to take time off and discovering that I've actually had a mental disorder for the majority of my life and it's extremely treatable and now i'm better than ever. the stock portfolio is doing gangbusters and I get to putter around and get my pilots license while people I know are going 'welp there's another round of layoffs coming let's see if I make it this time'. it is also unsurprisingly extremely difficult to talk through this with friends.

I read a nonironic essay somewhere about the "problems of being newly rich" The first being that people stop taking your problems seriously and you feel awkward going to your friends because money does solve a lot of very real problems But a lot of life's more serious problems aren't really solvable entirely with money - mental health, deaths in the family. Others, like loneliness and ennui, are only partially mitigable with money. And some weirder problems are unique to success, like imposter syndrome. Or if you're really rich, a deep anxiety that people are just using you.

Midjack posted:a lot of life policies don’t pay out on suicides. the one I have has a two year stand down for suicide payouts but as far as I know, you have an obligation to inform company of every new health development in your life not just flawless history, and if i develop mental brain i have to let them know unless.. you don’t tell doctor once I had a look at my own notes using the internal health system, you’re not meant to but I consented to myself doing it and noticed a note from dr about how i said i’d been drinking a bit much lately. every time since when they’ve asked i just say “couple on the weekend”. never tell them anything
