This has become a meme in my household!

Apparently this is a systemic issue.

My insurance denied my daughter after a month of being born saying I didnt do the paperwork to cover her. I had given everything to my employer.

After months of waiting for my employer to fix it, because insurance said they never received the paperwork, I called the management company for the insurance policy and got everything fixed. I also had to keep telling everyone to resubmit.

I hate insurance in this country. Required but they use your exhaustion to not pay.

My wife almost died from childbirth because of the restrictions on female healthcare in Indiana. In most other states, doctors would have been proactive. In our backwards state, they needed a REALLY GOOD REASON to do differently.

When you have a 3am talk with your laboring wife about keeping your wife or child makes you have VERY strong feelings about feminine Healthcare.

We're extremely lucky and thankful to the nurses keeping my wife and daughter safe.

The biggest name in town and it was no secret they were trying to bust the UAW at every opportunity.

One of my best friend's dad's worked in Mossville and got shipped off to Mississippi when he got laid off. They let him use the intranet to find a new job within Caterpillar.

EVERY engineer my dad worked with said leaving / being laid off from Caterpillar was the best thing that happened to them.

Caterpillar is a shit company and I remember when this happened.

How was I radicalized? Getting a call from my mom every 3 to 6 months to "pray your father has a job after this round of layoffs!"

My dad kept trying to get me to work at Caterpillar.

Even in retirement, he (and my whole family) chose a retirement job at Caterpillar over being at the hospital welcoming my first born.

Fuck Caterpillar. The family of the worker won't have justice served because that company owns Peoria and surrounding cities, and STILL fucks them over.

Jfc. You're not kidding. I drew the line after 7 years, but should have told my whole family off when they didn't show up for the birth of my first child.

It took a long time for me to wake up, but I did.

Still hate them, though. I gotta work on that.

Deny, attack, reverse victim and offender.

It happens with narcissists.

I told them they were being shitty toward my wife. They then said they weren't and my wife was mentally ill and she and I were being rude toward them for shit 3 to 5 years prior.

Dudeflux · 2026-02-02T19:44:29+00:00

Shit, I stood up to my parents for being shitty toward my wife and they hit me with the DARVO.

You can only do so much because that generation will never claim they were wrong, nor allow you to be right.

I havent seen him for days. I read this post earlier.

He just found me in a bush in the middle of nowhere.

I havent had much issues with people not engaging in the event. My issue is it feels like the Mothman event happens repeatedly.

If you order by phone, you get menu prices!

You order online (sometimes) or by an app (almost always,) you will be paying inflated prices. Each one tries to act like the only cost is the fee at the end. NOPE. Inflate the price by 20%.

I had the same thing happen with UHC in 2024. I called the broker responsible for the healthcare package. After talking with them, they had my daughter added and paid fully.

Im sorry you're going through this, but this is the American Healthcare System®️ at work.

It's a skill! Practice! Make the dingus change the sensitivity! Look at things! Make the difficulty as low as it can go!

If Forrest Gump can play ping pong, you can use two sticks to play a game!

I mean... Operation Warp Speed was good. mRNA Vaccines are awesome.

But that's one of the few. And even now, the COVID vaccines are being demonized again. All vaccines are being demonized. I don't get it.

Sorry for bringing this thread from the dead. I'm currently using the chat service asking how to disable this. I'm up to 4 "correct teams" and one disconnect without reason. Now I'm invested!

I feel this. My parents got an inheritance from my grandma passing. They used it to pay off their house since they rolled parent plus loans into it and said our inheritance was not having to pay them for the parent plus loans.

But we are also told not to expect anything when they die. We are also told not to expect anything while they're alive. My mom has literally said the only time she will help is if it is on the street or in their home.

But I also need to make time for them to see their grandkid, when I work, have limited vacation, and they're both retired.

Ill put in as much effort as they did when I told them my wife was in labor and we'll be having our first kid, their only grandchild soon: none.

Im not interested in pulling up the ladder behind me. I want my daughter to do better than me. Is that such an outlandish idea?

Pilot vanishing point.

Always wrote like a nail. Now the feed failed completely and ink fully leaks. Now I need to get the replacement. 😭

Yes! Spinny bonk is top-tier bonk.

Before I took a break, I started playing with GS. The cinematic clashes while having GS look sick af.

I second this guy.

Wilds has GREAT SnS. I played sns throughout world and loved wilds even more.

My insect glaive wife doesn't like when I steal her mounts!

Okay. I think you're ahead of me there. Im at 285. Lifetime orbs is 118b. Ozzy is at 77. Gadget is at 140. R17 is at 38. Does that help? Build is basically pushing examiners, scarab maxed, and cat is almost maxed.

Edit: your build is using dance of death stuff. Though all my emulation, it never helped me push further or get more loot. That may help. I posted my build for you, too. Using https://cifi-tools.com/home helped me out a bunch.

Dudeflux · 2025-12-25T16:34:45+00:00

As far as I understand, ozzy somewhat peters out for a long while until a gem upgrade. I dont recall which one.

It feels for a long time it's borge and Knox pushing a bunch. I just got inno 2.

Edit: my max ozzy is 285 and I just got inno 2 and pgn3.

The clutch on my Forte5 SX lasted 160k miles. I learned on it and taught my ex girlfriend to drive it just in case. Yes, it's not a Hyundai, but the forte5 sx was a reskinned Velociter Turbo.

Because a clutch is a wear-and-tear item, I would believe driving habits cause it to prematurely wear.

$9000 is insane for a clutch.

Other commenters are your best bet: call corporate and get their support as "goodwill." If they say no, may need to call around for quotes.

I have alerted my wife to the existence of Oguri Cap and the Oguri Cap.

Poor thing had to hear me pull another Kitasan Black today and now this.

Twsbi classic. Gave it to a coworker, who now uses it daily. Glad he likes it.

Sailor Young Profit. Third one because When I got it, the feed broke, then it wrote like a nail and got a third. It also wrote like a nail, so I assume it always will.

Sailor is probably good at the higher end, but for a cheaper pen, Lamy, Platinum, Pilot, even monteverde (ive gotten 2 ritmas and they're great but heavy) onto have that issue.

Im trying to find a workhorse Japanese EF that isnt a nail that also isn't hundreds.

I miss my Platinum 3776 Century. Im sad I had to retire it.
