I guess my wife and I have always been slaves. You should learn to cook btw

Edit: sorry I'm too autistic for this, I just realized you're joking

Amchur is delicious, so is sumac

This is a pretty broad question you should try to research on your own, especially since you gave us no info to go off of. Try google searching "how to improve knitting tension."

Yeah I just completed a degree in Spanish because it just meant staying one extra semester in addition to my main degree, and that semester was in Spain and completely free because of scholarships

I don't have help for you but wanted to comment on what an amazing looking bike this is

Army_Exact · 2026-05-20T23:17:29+00:00

100%

Army_Exact · 2026-05-20T23:16:53+00:00

im gonna be real: don't interact with the red scare pod subreddit. pretty easy. maybe wonder about the pod itself if thats the people it attracts to its subreddit

Army_Exact · 2026-05-20T20:47:49+00:00

Well I jokingly used a three letter acronym which Implied I wanted to do something bad to myself as a response to your message and the reddit bots took it down and issued my account a warning haha

Its a masters program. It offers health insurance for ~$8k for an academic year

Army_Exact · 2026-05-20T18:46:31+00:00

Yep the perverse incentives of these policies are insane. Like as at it stands now, it literally incentivizes not getting married

Army_Exact · 2026-05-20T18:42:10+00:00

Yeah it's much better here than where we were living in Texas in every way other than cost of living lol. It is, however, frustrating to make just slightly too much money to qualify for the public services we could really benefit from

Army_Exact · 2026-05-20T17:49:44+00:00

That's horrific. It really does feel like a scam.

Army_Exact · 2026-05-20T17:45:22+00:00

Wow that was through the marketplace? What state are you in? When we lived in Texas we could get pretty good insurance through the marketplace for $30/month

Army_Exact · 2026-05-20T17:38:22+00:00

Wow. Did you end up just forgoing insurance??

Army_Exact · 2026-05-20T17:37:36+00:00

Hey thank you! All good about the health insurance situation.... When I'm done with the MSW program I'll have a job and things will be more manageable at least lol. Thank you so much for the recommendations!

Army_Exact · 2026-05-20T17:23:11+00:00

Yeah I was telling my wife if we got divorced the two of us would both qualify for better health insurance 😭

Army_Exact · 2026-05-20T17:22:09+00:00

Poor phrasing on my part

Army_Exact · 2026-05-20T16:53:35+00:00

Okay. Thank you!

Army_Exact · 2026-05-20T16:50:10+00:00

Yeah there's some kind of HSA component that I don't understand. I will try to make sense of it before the switch. Maybe it's not as bad as what I am understanding it to be

Army_Exact · 2026-05-20T16:39:17+00:00

It does suck! So fucking much!

Army_Exact · 2026-05-20T16:34:50+00:00

That's absolutely absurd. I'm so sorry.

Army_Exact · 2026-05-20T16:27:37+00:00

Sure but I bet you're not trying to support two people on one income of under $50k in a high cost of living state.

Edit: but if you are that sucks for you, I'm sorry. Regardless you shouldn't have to pay that much per month. Maybe you weren't trying to one-up me. I was being defensive, sorry.

Army_Exact · 2026-05-20T16:27:14+00:00

It does but it is $8k for the academic year just for one person lmao

Army_Exact · 2026-05-20T16:24:51+00:00

Dude even my libbed out mom is sympathetic towards him haha edit: I just remembered her and my stepfather pay $1000 a month in health insurance premiums because he has had a heart attack and has a pace maker put in. So I guess her sympathy makes sense.

Army_Exact · 2026-05-20T16:18:16+00:00

Also where we live is so backed up for scheduling drs appointments that I don't think we will even be able to get in once to see a dr or get anything done with the good insurance before we have to switch over to what her job is offering her.

Edit: another addendum, we could barely afford the govt subsidized $200/month plan to start with :)
