  • I’d have to look at my bill(s) but long story short, every time I visit the doctor, I get billed by two seemingly separate entities for merely visiting them. Everything else they do is a separate line item on their respective bills. So if it’s not a copay, what is it? A visit fee? All I know is I either pay it or I get harassed incessantly so I pay it.


  • My bills literally list them as separate line items, theres the clinic copay, then the doctor copay.

    Occasionally I even get two separate bills, one from the hospital, one from the Dr. Guessing their practice is the source of the one and the hospital system is the other?

    Either way its fuckin annoying to be paying out of pocket 30+ bucks only to be told the equivalent of “gee i dunno take Tylenol I guess”.


  • Oh, you see an actual doctor? I haven’t seen an actual doctor in the last like 3 years, always just a physicians assistant or other nurse.

    Still get charged the dr copay though, funny how that works.

    I wouldnt be surprised if the doctor is an AI construct and theyre just running my symptoms through whatever insurance company provided AI bullshit at this point.






  • I was 15, and it was the first time in my life that I saw someones attitude towards me completely change due to the mere fact that I didnt share their religious beliefs. First time, but sadly not the last.

    How fucking fragile their beliefs must truly be if they cant even tolerate someone thinking differently than they do like, as a concept, to the point of acting like a total fucking bitch to a child from that day forward.

    But…after decades more life experience…all I can say is pretty much par for the course.

    Thank christ I got the fuck out of the Bible belt. I no longer live somewhere were institutionalized bigotry is so widely accepted. Like, for example, the time I was threatened with physical violence by a cop after being spotted walking home from the gas station with a Marilyn Manson tshirt only a few months after my Bio teacher crashed out when confronted with my atheism.



  • My bio teacher in high school was a hard-core snake-handling tongue-speaking nut. She was also the head of the Bible club.

    Should have seen how quickly my As turned to Cs after I told her that despite her protestations, I wanted to learn about evolution and didn’t belive in creationism.

    Biology teacher in public school…“Evolution is a myth that the tyrannical federal government demands I teach but first let me read you the truth about what really happened: ‘In the beginning, God created…’”

    My favorite was when she gave me detention for admitting I was an atheist, after she called my mom and my mom said “So what?”. Guess she thought I was gonna get a holy beat down, imagine her disappointment.



  • Well said.

    I dont hate my job. I hate the fact that my job sucks because everything we do is first and foremost a monetary transaction that is being governed by the principle of minimum investment for maximum productivity, all so a handful of people at the pinnacle of the organization chart can make more money annually than their entire entry-level workforce combined. They could take a fraction of that money and hire enough people that it wouldn’t be a constant fuckin grind but they won’t because why own 4 houses when you could own 5, or 6?

    The world’s billionaires, roughly 3500 people, hold $20 Trillion in combined assets. Split evenly among the world population, that would be enough to give every single person on the planet nearly $2500. Doesn’t sound like much until you consider that there are currently 8.3 billion people on the planet. Each one of those billionaires corresponds to roughly 2.4 million people. The population of Houston, TX per single billionaire.

    The average lifetime earnings of someone in the US is 1.85 million dollars today. Someone with just 1 billion dollars has the equivalent of 540 lifetimes of earnings. Elon Musk is currently worth 823 billion dollars. 444,420 lifetimes worth of earnings. One person.

    Its not the job that sucks. Its the fact that I have to be miserable doing it that sucks, and all so a small handful of people can amass more wealth than some entire countries GDP.





  • Yeah it bears mentioning that what they call Democrats are actually Goldwater Republicans that arent on board with the Christian Sharia Law Culture War bullshit.

    Other than that their policies are more in alignment with the Rs then theyd ever admit.

    Still, if it comes down to the Goldwater Republican and the Christofascists, the Goldwater Republicans win hands down in my book. I just wish all the apoplexy over Socialism in this fucking country was reflected by there being actual leftists running for fucking office outside of a few key, heavily populated districts.





  • Only positive thing he ever contributed to the world.

    Its a shame more of the people today that emulate him don’t commit fully and do the same thing, and just spare us all the bullshit suffering, before it inevitably finds itself there anyway, which it will…it always does eventually. Their way is not sustainable.

    They’re like the randoms I get playing chess online that refuse to lay down their fucking King when a mate is inevitable. They’ll even say as much in the game chat. Like for fucks sake, can we not?
