  Right that’s about all they cover, the freak stuff that costs thousands. But for routine visits, vaccinations, and even small conditions that aren’t life threatening, they’re useless.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it worth investing if I can only contribute $50 a month?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  That $550 will cover two vet visits if you’re lucky

  Still better than pet insurance though, which is a scam (I mean all insurance is but especially pet insurance)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Imo:

  • Create more communities NOT centered around politics or Linux
  • Stop berating people who use consumer electronics like Android or iPhones
  • Get the word out, basically no one knows about Lemmy
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how do I become the dullest, most boring coworker so this needy man leaves me alone?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Take up skiing and make that your entire personality

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m agreeing with you, the employer should offer the same leniency

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes and no. Everyone deserves the same benefits here. The issue isn’t why someone with kids gets a free pass, but why you don’t get the same offering. Why should someone have to work harder because they’re infertile, gay, or otherwise unable to reproduce?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  When women read your post here, how might they perceive what you’ve written? Would they be put off? Why? Do the presumptions bother them? Do they sense entitlement that puts them off? Do they sense someone with ulterior motives? Again, why?

  Yes. This reads of an entitled “nice dude” with ulterior motives. The kind who DMs “hey”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A real landlord special.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Low rent? This would be $3000/Mo in NYC

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do people (as in, IRL) actually think of the [alleged] perpetrator involved in the NYC shooting?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  NYC. Everyone talks about it with a wink and a smile, from coworkers to friends and random bodega people. The only people who are opposed to it are my company’s rich directors.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As a human, here is my human take on unions⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Does she know it’s (usually) voluntary?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it possible to fix one's eyesight? What are working methods? What is to be cautious about?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If really depends on why your eyesight is bad. I have a degenerative condition called keratoconus and was told that if I get LASIK I’m at risk of going blind, so I have to use glass sclerals. The benefit is that the scars on my eye have been smoothing out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll take that trade

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Murderer? What murderer? The CEO tripped while carrying a gun and accidentally shot himself twice in the back 🤫

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Am I the only one who feels uncomfortable about people making such big deal out of whether they're "black" or "white"?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  America is literally founded on racism. First white settlers came and gave smallpox to anyone who looked different than them. Then they imported dark skinned people and made them literal slaves. Half the country fought a war over the right to keep slaves. There was even a period of time when Italians weren’t considered white as a means to discriminate.

  There is a lot more context than just skin tone, and unfortunately the hatred for anyone who isn’t white was never curb stomped out

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where do people dance?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Lots of places, anywhere you can really

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What gives you hope to keep going?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s easy to say that when you aren’t about to lose medication you rely on, when you aren’t wondering if you’re going to be denaturalized and thrown in a camp, when you aren’t left wondering if you are going to lose people you love and the community you’ve built around you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is non-sexual masochism a thing?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Kink and sex are different things, though often intertwined

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does it seem most people, mainly conservatives, against Trans people? Unless I am wrong I never heard of one shooting up a school church or whatever. The ones I have met have been pretty cool.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because conservatives are smooth brained and small minded

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you create?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I had a shop that made flaming nipple tassels, though I just closed down until the future is more certain. I also create sideshow and fire performances. My most recent one involves a drill and my skull.

  And finally, a lot of D&D content, such as an entire world setting inspired by the tarot deck

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If the democrats executed the same fake electors scheme trump tried to execute, wouldn't Republican opposition be admission of trumps guilt?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe we should have a peaceful takeover of the Capital on Jan 6, it’s very cool and very legal after all

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why people consistently vote against their own interests to benefit the rich?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Becaus they want to see other people suffer

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It used to be a lot more common 10+ years ago. It’s strictly a kink thing, which is why it’s so gross when it’s applied to people just living their lives

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how did you master splits (for flexibility)?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve tried for years through yoga and stretching. Nothing. There does seem to be some biological aspects to it. I stretch nearly every day

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are the inside parts of toilets universal?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Like an extreme bidet

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IPhones' default photo format is HEIC, something that Windows doesn't open by default.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think you understood my comment. My Mac just hates mp3s. Programs like Audacity and Audio Timeliner always struggle with them unless I convert them to m4a first. Never was an issue on Windows. Preview will play them but that’s about the only program that doesn’t hate them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IPhones' default photo format is HEIC, something that Windows doesn't open by default.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Same thing with the M4A music format. My Mac struggles to read MP3s in most programs (other than Preview). I have to convert them to M4A if I want to import them anywhere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨my idiot friend printed parts of my 3d printed gun experiment with pla instead of abs⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  High risk, low rewards

  Enjoy your rewards

  Better yet, I can give you coffee stained!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Realistically... How fucked is the US?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I have spent all day crying and drafting escape plans since my life is now in extreme danger

  No, cosplayers do that all the time
