I had a specific problem today that googling didn't help (it was a google account problem, go figure). I added reddit to the search terms and clicked into reddit for the first time in months. All I can say is that their UI is purposely horrible. Like, so fucking bad.

I would rather join tiktok than use reddit at this point. That should sound like sarcasm, or hyperbole, but it isn't. Lemmy is feeling like the last social media network I'll join, and as soon as lemmy gets to the toxicity levels of reddit, which no offense but I feel will be soon, I'm probably going to be the weird person that just uses their phone to call their family, utility companies, and watch hardcore anal fisting, footing, and prolapsing videos.

My wife's doctor left the state hospital a few months ago. We didn't find out until her prescription wasn't sent to the pharmacy. Had to call the hospital to find out. They didn't distribute the doctors patients, and they didnt even call in the prescriptions that only required a yearly check.

That's the most tame story I have about that hospital and it's the most luxurious hospital I've ever seen. It looks like a 4 star hotel. I considered suing them at one point but a family lawyer told me it would be too hard to prove fault, even though they were clearly at fault.

Not trying to downplay your plight at all, but in America this is also the case. Not only are doctors visits expensive to an extremely outrageous extent, but you might not be able to find one that can take you.

Waitlists for medical, dental, psychiatric etc doctors in my area are a minimum of 3 months long.

A few years ago I called the largest network of therapists in my area for an appointment. They told me I would be on a wait list and I probably wouldn't hear back for 6 weeks. I got a call 6 months later.

Medical doctors and dentists are even worse. No wait lists at all. Emergency clinics full of low quality doctors and practitioners are popping up everywhere because most people don't go to the doctors enough to still be an active patient. They don't go enough to be seen because they can't afford to go unless they are truly terribly sick. Those clinics charge far more, do far less, and care the minimal amount about patients.

A quick look in your ear? $150. You have a real problem? Well, they will charge you the $150 and then tell you to go to the hospital.

I have never heard of anyone in my area getting a dentist appointment in less than 3 months. To even get patient status takes a friend knowing that their doctor is taking new patients. And the chances are that if you can't afford a doctor, your friends can't either.

Wouldn't it be weird if neither of us had pants on?

Blue on white?! Disgusting! White on white? Yum!

You do you though. More cheese for me.

I've heard some of the more advanced bullshit detectors have pressure pads that the bullshiter sits on to measure how much actual shit they are holding back while taking a bullshit test to detect the actual bullshit, but that might be bullshit.

Or every other cheese, or yogurt, sour cream, etc...

It's like everyone puts on their blinders. Every time you hear cultured, fermented, or the big ol' stupid blanket term "probiotic", it means bacteria, mold, or yeast. Every time you hear "active", that means it's live organisms.

We all love to eat bacteria, mold and yeast. It all depends on the type.

Say what you want about bulimia, but that shit does work.

The sage is here, and he smells wonderful.

Ur gotdang right. My Mopar might be a four banger, but with cheezus behind the wheel we're gon' near 1700 n' gettin 500 a gallon.

A boy is throwing rocks into a lake. With each splash he worries that someone will tell him to stop. He starts with pebbles but after each toss and satisfying bloop, he feels a bit better and starts throwing larger and larger rocks.

As he picks up a large stone of 5lbs, he notices a family making their way to the beach. He drops the stone in a panic directly onto his foot and screeches in pain. The father of the family runs to the boys side. Without asking, he picks up the boy and carries him to a nearby boulder, sits him down and inspects the boys bleeding wound.

"What were you doing?" The father asked.

"I was seeing how far I could make it" replied the boy.

You're not the evil you think you are. It's late but I'll get back to you in the morning. PM me in the mean time.

You make dem der figures FPH n' you got a deal. I don't wanna be going no 600 yards a minute. I wanna be cruisin at 35000 yard and hour, ya hur?
