I think we’re all fucked, because the monsters who run all of this value money over other’s lives, and it helps with military retention. I’m sure there are people who wanted to get out of the service, but were worried about healthcare costs.

The private sector doesn’t care, as long as the lines keep going up. And the government doesn’t want to lose one of their sticks to keep people on their bases and ships.

So they’ll buy mansions, and yachts, and travel the world. While I have to sit at home, just waiting for the day to be able to afford a vacation. And I’ll sit and watch as our tax money is used by private businesses for stadiums, or mine-resistant vehicles for suburban cops, or to turn brown children into skeletons.

All the while, you’re sitting there with constant pain and all the world cares about is the amount of testosterone in athletes at the Olympics. That’s what’s driving conversations these days. More circuses to distract us from the real problems.

I get to pay 4k a year, just to be able to be charged only 6k out of pocket. After that 10k, I still would owe 10% of every charge after that.

Or I can pay 2k a year for the privilage of being charged a little over 8k out of pocket. After that, I’d owe 20% of everything after.

So every year, I get to gamble my prospective income on how much healthcare I think I’ll need. I want to save on monthly costs? Hopefully nothing emergent happens. Expecting a procedure? Now I’m out a few extra hundred a month just so I don’t have to pay more than 10% after already paying 6k.

All this is assuming I don’t get denied coverage and have to foot the whole bill anyway. I need to see a specialist, though, and the only one nearby isn’t in my network. I gotta drive an hour and a half or pay 100%.

I’m paying more than the savings I’m able to put away to assholes who own yachts bigger than the house I rent.

Who would view this system as favorable?

Catapulted into the sun, I believe.

I’ve seen Breaking Bad mentioned. If you enjoy that, check out Your Honor. It’s another drama series starring Bryan Cranston.

Oh it’s an absolutely terrible idea. But it is something one can do with an old phone.

You can try to see how far you can skip it on a lake or pond.

Trump assassination attempt causes Tenacious D to break up was not on my 2024 bingo card.

My work stands on it’s own two legs. Their work doesn’t affect my paycheck. If their laziness impacts me, I will not stay silent about it at all. Other than that, I’m punching my clock and focusing on what I need to.

Are we filing charges against sock puppets named Boeing? Who is the man in charge? Over three hundred people are dead. Those families deserve justice, not whatever this is.

It’s just taking a nap.

I used cloud of daggers as well. It was useful for choke points or, in the rare circumstance, of immobile enemies.

Could be a few bad months from being homeless, never a few good months from being wealthy.

It’s wild to me that ctl+alt+del is relevant today at all. I used to read webcomics in high school all the time, CAD included. Loss was definitely eye opening, it was a real moment of “wasn’t this comic about video games?” But then it was forgotten about for so long. It’s a marvel to me that random moment in such a dated comic got meme’d on this hard.

I love how the AI art understands that there should be more stuff in a sub. There’s pipes and wires in that image, where on the now crushed sub, it was a smooth room into which they were bolted. Even the AI image controller has a wire on it.

And the sabres rattled softly.

Stopping at two drinks.

About as often as I skip electronics on bodies of water.

See how many times you can skip it on a lake.

I can’t wait to see him in a wheelchair and on oxygen when he appeals for compassionate release.

That’s what my first thoughts were as well, but they were flying in some pretty nasty weather. Thick fog, high winds, in a remote forested mountain range. While it is entirely possible that the CIA and IDF may have collaborated on some impromptu helicopter modifications, I think the question is less “Who could have done this?” and is more “Why were they flying in those conditions?”
