I’m kind of hoping this will result in more nuclear. inb4 Chernobyl

Take the epidural, take the drugs. “Natural” is for masochists.

This. Ultimately your choice and there’s absolutely zero shame in taking advantage of all the help you can.

This stuff is kind of funny, but more of the usual liberal talk an zero action.

I guess that’s just the reality we grew up with and we’re used to it as messed up as that sounds. There’s always bankruptcy.

Obama could’ve codified Roe and he didn’t. He ran on doing it.

That was happening under Biden too, they just weren’t being as vocal about it. Also Roe v Wade was overturned when Biden was in office with a Democrat majority in Congress and they couldn’t be bothered to do anything about it.

I’ve oddly had the best experience with United. Avoid individual at all costs. It’s rough out there.

For me personally, I have a family that would be on the streets without my income. If I go protesting and get arrested, I lose my job and it’s GG. I’m sure that’s by design. If I was 20 years younger and didn’t have as much riding on me I’d be out there making some noise.

Yes because even if Kamala would’ve won, even with a Democrat majority in congress, Republicans would’ve kept Republican’ing and Democrats have developed a habit of not doing anything to stop it because it wouldn’t be civil or whatever the excuse of the week is.

I’ve heard Kaiser is pretty good. I had an employer suddenly switch all their plans to Kaiser, and we had to go individual because we had a few specialists we liked that didn’t work for Kaiser. Plus i couldn’t get a straight answer on what would happen if I got hurt outside of their areas.

Still too much to lose, plus the cops have surplus military gear.

Both parties are doing everything they can to make sure it doesn’t.

I went to the ER in a wealthy part of the Denver metro with abdominal pain and a significant fever. I was in the waiting room for at least 8 hours for them to decide I might have a perforated bowel and I was admitted. It ended up being diverticulitis.

It makes my head explode when people say wait times are longer in countries with public systems because all the hypochondriacs will be abusing it. Motherfucker, wait times are ridiculous now.

Trump winning only means we’re ratcheting to the right at a slightly faster pace.

They sent “how dare you sir!” letters.

I’ll believe it when I see it. I’m not ruling out a rat fucking yet.

It’s an eternal work in progress, but the concept of neutral thinking really clicked for me. Look up “It Takes What It Takes” by Trevor Moawad. I’m still figuring out where to start on community, my social life peaked in high school never recovered. All the old civic organizations and churches seem to be dying off.

I was going to say this generation was conveniently excluded from OP.

I know that I’m broke and I’ll be working until I either go senile or die. It took me too long to start figuring things out.

I wish I had learned this nuance earlier. I started out throwing all the money I could at whatever I was trying to pay off as fast as possible because I had it hammered into me as a child that all debt is a personal moral failing.

I’ve since learned that having cash on hand and a relatively low interest loan like a mortgage or a car loan, is better than a slightly lower balance on said loan and having to use a high interest credit card when an emergency inevitably pops up because I didn’t have any cash.
