Somewhere a rocket scientist brain surgeon physicist with a knack for economics who wears Velcro shoes is having a stress breakdown.
When I was a professional ballroom dance instructor, one of my coworkers was having a tough time teaching a step to her student. As he gets more frustrated she tells him “it’s ok- you’ll get it- this isn’t rocket science.”
There is an awkward pause as her student stares back at her. “No” he agrees, “this isn’t rocket science. That I can do. This is some sadistic step designed specifically to torture rocket scientists.”
I really want a movie where there’s this Dark Brooding Male Hero who’s like, a total badass, and during all the fight scenes he keeps getting flashbacks to happy images of his wife, and like his whole narrative is framed around his wife, and all the other heroes on his team know that he’s got this passion and vengeance and think it all has to do with his dead wife… but then near the end of the movie his wife shows up and he’s like “hey babe” they’re all shocked and they’re like, “Wait I thought all your power and passion came from avenging your dead wife?” and he’s like “no bro, I just really love my wife, she’s really cool, she’s what keeps me going” like… a reverse fridge
Unfridge your wives 2017
Unfridge your wives 2018
“This whole saving the world thing has kept me from seeing my wife for like, three days and I was really starting to miss her!”
It turns out he’s normally a ray of sunshine and is only Dark Brooding Male Hero mode when he misses her.
Well we all know that in order to afford any health anything in the US you need insurance right? Medication, doctor visits, basic medical needs, any kind of medical equipment from a bandaid and roll of gauze to a boot cast and crutches cost an INSANE amount of dollars. This is because the hospitals and most doctor offices discount these rates for insurance companies but charge those without insurance full price.
Okay so no big deal you just get insurance, pay a monthly fee often taken right out of your paycheck or whatever depending on your place of work or insurance company and you’re good right? Hell people can stay on their parent’s insurance till they’re 26 and the Affordable Care Act was a thing so yeah no problem right?
Except that every insurance company covers different doctors, hospitals, procedures, etc, that can change yearly, AND most insurance companies WILL NOT insure you if you have a “pre-existing condition.”
These pre-existing conditions can be anything from heart problems, diabetes, cancer, mental illnesses, etc. but can ALSO be shit like pregnancy, obesity, and stuff that isn’t ACTUALLY pre-existing but that you had when you applied for insurance so they’ll deny you. With some companies you can break your leg, apply for insurance afterwards to help cover medical costs (ya know what insurance is SUPPOSED TO DO), and they WILL NOT approve you. Meaning if you don’t get insurance when you’re 100% healthy and fine you could have a harder time getting it.
And this isn’t even touching on seniors needing health insurance and how life insurance can turn you down for bullshit reasons including but not limited to being slightly under weight or having too many headaches in a year.
how we act alone when we don’t feel like we have witnesses.. that is the genuine self.. me walking around my room punching the air talking to myself in a bad southern accent, that’s ME baby. you’re never going to know me like i know me. haha.
