Yes, these stories are either outright lies, or are about rich people not being willing to wait their turn. Meanwhile, here I am drowning in medical debt, putting off getting procedures done, and trying to decide if I would rather just live with my dental problems, or risk getting kidnapped and murdered in Mexico, because they have so many Americans crossing the border to get dental work that they have not one, but multiple top tier dental towns.

That’s not the advertisement that you think it is. If you think about it for even a moment you’ll realize that it’s because we prioritize the wealthy in the US. Sure a rich person from Canada can come down and get a procedure in a moment’s notice but how many Americans have to leave the US to get the procedure themselves or even worse are never able to get it at all?

So… truck driver or IT?

The bad guy would have to be the Mr Glass guy from Unbreakable, or otherwise the chase scenes would be really really short.

I have a 15 year old Subaru with the same problem. And even when we bought the car new it was a well known issue with Subaru. Welcome to being a Subaru owner.
- Comment on Public trust 3 months ago:
Pretty much every study agrees, cloth masks are not as good as n95 or surgical masks. They don’t however say that cloth does nothing. Also I have not been able to find even 1 study that looked at multilayer cloth masks. Some even state that multilayer would probably do much better than single layer, but they weren’t even going to test them to see. Pretty much every study is focused on how well masks protect the wearer, but very few focus on how well they protect others from you. The only study that I found that does talk about it, says that while less than n95 masks, that even cloth masks have a significant affect on your spreading of the virus.
- Comment on I Can't Drink Now Like I Used to a Few Years Ago (26M), is that Normal? 7 months ago:
Wait until you hit the “feeling shitty and ruining your entire day by sleeping too long” stage. Its a really fucking treat… At some point, you’ll realize you can cheat by getting up and then taking a nap or 2 later (not too long though, they have to be short naps). But then you will slowly enter the next stage which is “I can lose consciousness during the day at any point, and often do involuntarily, but once the clock hits 8pm, I am wide fucking awake and likely to stay that way until 5am.”
- Comment on How to deal with annoying co-worker 8 months ago:
I can’t emphasize how much this is the answer. Document your annoyances, document other peoples complaints, document the times you have tried discussing it it with him, and document how he responded. Document the fuck out of everything, because if you are his supervisor, this is going to blow up in your face no matter what you do and you need to be building yourself a blast shield asap. This guy is obviously very manipulative and portrays himself as the victim. When the shit finally hits the fan, he is going to sling it everywhere, and as your direct report, it’s going to pile in your lap.
When you take it up the chain, you don’t even have to take it up as a complaint. Ask for help and guidance in a situation that you fear is going to go bad. You have a guy who is a really good worker, but you fear his antics are going to run off other employees, or even worse, result in HR complaints. - Comment on My elderly parents' car broke down a couple hundred miles away. How can I get them and their car home (or fixed) with a minimum of cost and hassle? 8 months ago:
My auto insurance covers tows up to 200 miles, so you need to contact them and verify.
The thing is, even if they only cover 50 miles, they will pay the 50, then you only pay the extra, so I would get some quotes. If you have AAA, then like others said, they never check for id… but I understand why you don’t want to worry about risking it, so just drive out there and then call AAA and tell them you were driving their car. Then drive them home in your car while AAA tows thiers. - Comment on Sometimes I question my sanity 8 months ago:
Obviously, I am not looking at the good stuff. I’ve never had an orgasm to porn that was so good I got some soul squirtage.
- Comment on Lemmy feels so much more welcoming than R*ddit... And it's weird 9 months ago:
Lemmy isn’t as full of bots, PR people, propaganda, and paid trolls all looking to disrupt conversation, or ASTRO turf, or just spread hate and distrust. It’s just not a big enough target yet for those that are trying to artificially manipulate us.
Therefore the average level of hate and dissension is lower, making the natural occurring shit stains stick out more and seem like more of the aberration that they are.
You know what else you don’t see much of here? The sudden explosion of fan boy mania, nonstop accolades, and an nonstop stories about how cool, and just like us some actor is. All across multiple subs, all at once, right before a project of theirs comes out. Only to immediately fade away once the project is out. - Comment on One of the worst feelings ever 10 months ago:
Not everyone has a disposal or compost option. And even if you do have a disposal, it’s rare that you can just put anything you want down it.
- Comment on Is there a way I can force my garage open from the outside? 11 months ago:
First watch this… youtu.be/cVXCP8eiT70. You’ll notice that emergency release cord is actually really close to the door when it’s closed.
If you have a steel door you can push lightly on the center of the door and it will buckle in a little bit. You may dent it, but you should be able to push the dent back out. Once you have created a gap at the top of the door stick a coat hanger or something else in to grab ahold of the emergency pool rope and pull it out.
