Amen brother! It's like a meme I've seen a few times. God will give us all we need, but don't expect it to come to you like a special object in a video game, hovering above the table with a ring of light around it. When-the-H...50aac1.jpg

I'd vote for that.

But women are too dumb to make such important decisions! /s

To be honest, the first one is a good advice. And knowing someone is giving you a wrong number instead of guessing should lead you to : a)abandon further interaction with said person b)investigate what you did to make her feel that way and try to be a better / more interesting / less creepy person.

My Southern Baptist MIL has gone from pretending that I don't exist, (even to my face,) to occasionally asking about me and referring to me as, "that guy you live with." It's honestly a step in the right direction and it only took 20 years.

Well that’s not a lie….

I’ve ALWAYS thought this! Make this happen 100%, it can work with other abandoned buildings too

My mind goes to bulldozer.

To be fair, the UK is holding on by it's fingertips at the moment and it's really only the doctors and fantastic nurses in the hospitals holding it together at the moment.

So heartwarming and heartbreaking. Kids can be so cruel

Good on them for playing the system though

Shhhhh,,,,,, Let the billionaires blast themselves into space. While they're gone, it's a great chance to unionize.

You should be giving everyone on the team a raise equivalent to the managers salary divided amongst them

Plus, getting shots at the bar is a lot better than at the school.

"Disturbing costumers"? So they were disturbing people whose job it is to maintain and dress actors in the wardrobe of a movie, TV show or play?

Yes! Especially if he leads the way and takes his bestest, mostest friends with him. We'll give him.... uh... a special trophy or NFT of a trophy or something to memorialize his special leadership.

So much this. Usually, when someone says the IT guy is "being a d**k" what that really means is they're asking basic questions to cover all the bases because they've been thru that kind of sh1t before, but the person being asked decided to take it as an insult to their intelligence.

I had an emergency surgery this year. I pay almost $500 a month for my insurance. It still cost me nearly $10,000. With insurance!! Without insurance, the surgery was almost 125k. Absolutely outrageous.

See my comment in the above post about the parents having to get divorced. I'm in the same fucken boat right now. & my husband & I make okay money... not great. But more than some. & we still can't afford s**t. We always say "how the f**k do ppl survive on salaries of $20k or even $60k when even ppl making more than that are struggling.

My wife and I just found that our financial responsibility for the IVF that our fertility specialist is recommending (the only way we have a chance to carry a child to term) is just north of $8,500. That's just for the actual procedure, not including the additional consultation or facility fees or any follow ups or post-procedure care that may be required. The kicker? Our insurance "covers" it. A whopping.... $200 out of their pocket.

Last novemberI broke my pelvis in 2 pl.aces, and my arm / wrist bad enough I needed surgery.. I almost said no, but it would have healed with little movement and lots of pain. I have insurance, but had to jump thru hoops, so to speak, to get my induce company to agree to let me use their charity discount. Even with that I ended up having to pay much more than I could afford. Had to put most on credit and will be paying for it for a long time.

Poor guy should travel abroad and get the same op for waaaay less money.

This story repeats itself over and over in this country. The only difference is that the people are different. It's egregious.

It's disgusting and an everyday occurrence in the US

Same. Both knees have needed replacement for well over 10 years. I can't cover the $6800 annual deductable. Keep getting close then downsized out of jobs.

You could have written part of the cost off.

Then he has s**t insurance because I spent 12 days in ICU and it cost me $550

All too common a scenario....it's shameful.

Bet you miss the pay more than helping him.

America is a s**t country!

While this is sad, Brian is part of the problem. The surgeon, the anesthesiologist etc all charge a S**T TON of money to do their jobs in the USA. It's why quite a few Americans needing an expensive surgery turn it into a 'vacation' and travel to some other country where the surgery plus the air travel plus the hotel all add up to "I saved a bunch of money"

Well you know they’d low-key be arrested but oh well maybe they was makin a cuppa

what is hilarious about this???

🏆

you will not always have a calculator in your pocket... ah well..

I wonder who he voted for in the last presidential election

I don’t get the US system. Is it not taken out weekly for salaried employees? Are there not tax brackets?

Lead in the atmosphere too!

love it when my name is used in normal conversation

Apparently our major supermarkets staff are having a strike this coming weekend and Friday. Record inflation after record profits and no pay raises for the workers expected along with their customers to survive paying even more for groceries after a record profits year. Good for the workers, strike away, I'm joining them by only buying at local markets and small family owned grocers for the duration and maybe if the big supermarkets do the right thing, maybe, I'll come back for the sake of my fellow working class battlers.

God bless Tyler. He's doing his best and probably texting his girlfriend the whole time, too.

Remember the old days when kings would ride off into battle, leading the charge of their lords and noblemen? Lets try that again but include corporate executives since they are sort of the modern aristocracy now. Pay per view it, even.

I remember people saying they felt like the Jewish people during WWII and if this isn't the peak of being privilidged then I don't know what is (i.e. when you have it so good that oblidgated to uphold medical advice makes you feel oppressed like a people being eradicated during a world war).

Or shoot up a shopping mall.

Who even told on you????

Oh, yes, the middle class life... A German politician in the not so distant past described himself as "middle class" while owning a private plane and making 1.5 millon a year. So it comes down to a matter of definition.

This is the same guy who thinks he knows enough about programming to micromanage the people who are trying to develop self-driving technology for him.

This is what happens when you're so uneducated, you don't realise how uneducated you are ☹️
