Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:well that's a load of poo poo Yeah, this is the way to do it. My mom ended up with ~10k in medical debt after going through open heart surgery to remove a myxoma (Full bill before insurance was ~300k) and the company settled with her paying $25 a month. All she could do was shrug and resign herself to eventually dying with a huge medical debt still technically owed. That’s going to be fun to deal with at some point.

The American Dream is to die with the kind of debt that just goes unpaid instead of financially ruining your family.

Rick posted:I had a lawyer who bought my crown debt (which I stopped paying because I was unemployed for a year) in Phoenix, this motherfucker drove down to Tucson himself to serve me. When he eventually won the judgement, went directly to my job to give them the garnishment papers (luckily I wasn't there just for how awkward that would be). But the dude actually made a math mistake on the garnishment paperwork (I guess in his defense it was a non-standard garnishment because for some reason even without me saying anything in my defense the judge set a lower % he was allowed to take than usual), so after the garnishment period he set and had approved, I actually still owed $13.57 because he filled the paperwork out wrong (I actually noticed it was wrong when he filed it). Dude actually spent like six months going back and forth with the court apparently (without talking to me, i would've just mailed him a $20 to get off my back) to get an additional garnishment for that $13.57, which he apparently tried and failed to charge interest on. That’s what you’d call the American equivalent of ideological fervor, I guess. I’ve found more money than that on the ground since new years and I basically only exist on about two city blocks, but I’m sure he saw it as some principled stand against the forces of evil to make sure that every penny owed was accounted for. If he cuts you a break and doesn’t waste a bunch of potentially productive hours over a laughably small amount of money that isn’t worth his time to not write off, he’d have to do that for everyone, and that way lies chaos. It reminds me of the landlords that were trying to evict people for not paying rent after the rental assistance programs made the landlords whole. It’s not about the money, it’s about the preservation of the way things are supposed to work. It’s an attack on the social order and their place within it when somebody isn’t suffering the correct amount, the money is immaterial, it’s about the principle of the thing. Better that a rental property sit empty for six months generating no money than for it to be occupied by a person who wasn’t personally cutting out their pound of flesh at the contractually obligated intervals. Better to burn a hundred hours of your own time that could be spent making money than to let somebody get away with two hours of the federal minimum wage.

I just found a comment I wrote in 2018 about the possibility of a pandemic: "It will kill 300,000 children every year in the United States. It won't be the apocalypse, it will just make life shorter and shittier for a large number of people."

Yaupon is so good. It’s sad that hardly anyone knows about it outside of the South, and even there, it’s disrespected as an ornamental or even as a weed.

cr0y posted:Do we think modernas kids shots are gonna be approved or nah Thinking yes. The efficacy is bad but there are no real safety issues to get hung up on. The last few months have made it clear that kids catch COVID and end up in the hospital so a vaccine is warranted. The trial itself didn't measure hospitalization efficacy because none of the kids got sick enough, but the protection is so clear in the adult vaccines that even the FDA is likely to acknowledge the same applies for children. That might be giving the FDA reviewers too much credit though. Nocturtle has issued a correction as of 10:44 on Mar 25, 2022 |

Cheesus posted:I could show my wife dozens or hundreds of these tweets and she would still cite the columnist as her defense every time. I'm sorry. I've been there. Wish I had useful advice to dispense. A little bit of rambling if you don't mind, hope it may be helpful to you or other couples going through similar: In our case, my husband was resistant to this kind of information because he was emotionally overwhelmed and scared and tired and I, being likewise overwhelmed, didn't see this crucial need for comfort and security being unmet and just kept resenting him for being mad at me over reality. I had to turn my own temperature way down, so to speak, and then tried to really hear where he was at without judging. He has been more receptive to information that runs counter to the narrative(or to what we might wish were true) since then. At least he knows he can bring his doubts or hopes or pet peeves to me and not come out of it feeling worse, even if we don't agree, and vice versa. Tl;dr poo poo is crazy and we gotta be able to lean on each other, make time for one another. The rest will flow from that. (hopefully)
