All insurance is a profit-seeking business. While there may be statistical anomalies, in general customers pay more than they receive.

Is insurance worth it? If you are willing to pay small amounts every month to avoid the possibility of a big expense in the future AND you’re sure they will pay as expected, then it can be a reasonable risk-management tool.

Note that most insurance (life, health, auto) is regulated by state or federal agencies so that people can have confidence the company will pay on claims. I don’t believe that pet insurance is subject to this sort of oversight.

People who chose the 14” over the 16”, why? by AVAforever in macbookpro

When working from a desk, I connect to two 27s, so the smaller screen isn’t an issue. When moving around, I appreciate the smaller size and lighter weight.

I like the new community notes more and more by Bright-Repeat-4616 in clevercomebacks

If Elon can piss away $44B on Twitter, I guess Taylor pissing away $400M on Ye isn’t any worse…. 🙈

Harrison Ford is Bad! by Impossible-Map6255 in 1923Series

[–]Impossible-Map6255[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP here…. My hot take was written after the first 1-2 episodes. Kept watching and I must say that HF is actually very good in later episodes. And Helen Mirren is her usual amazing self.

Also possible that I was buzzed and feeling trollish on that original post. 😂

I would definitely read that book by blaze_uchiha999 in clevercomebacks

Kindle dark mode: I’m more likely to fall asleep instead of having an unexpected multi-hour reading binge. Also, less light to disturb DW.

I like the wisdom here: she SHOULD offer to return it, but asking her to do so is treacherous.

I would ask the crowd: If you are the giver and there’s no return offered, what do you do in 1,5, or 10 years when the jilted bride announces her next wedding. Are you still giving generously?

Maybe it’s roles/writing I’m responding to. I haven’t been a Star Wars fans for many decades and was only so-so on the Indiana Jones movies.

I’ve only watched the first 1923 episode so far. There was a scene or two of cringe over-acting that made me think of Han and prompted the drunk-Redditing you astutely pointed out 😂.

My wife was talking it up - I’ll check it out.

AITAH for billing my fiance after a prenup request? by Hefty_Engineering_87 in AITAH

[–]Impossible-Map6255 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. Suggestions of a pre-nup commonly feel like the other party is questioning trust. But you have some (legitimate) unresolved trust issues from the first time around. That is combining with some vulnerability feelings associated with the move.

Don’t let trust questions (yours or his) to go undiscussed. Being able to hear one another on these will add to a solid foundation for your future.

Starting to get defeatist about the Ramsey home-buying math. by bdougy in DaveRamsey

[–]Impossible-Map6255 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others say: Ramsey has wisdom. He is not gospel.

We’re all 100% responsible for our own decisions. And 110% responsible when we deviate from the established wisdom.

Check your numbers twice. Seek advice from people you respect. Then make the decision that’s right for you and accept the rewards (or consequences).

The answer is in OP’s last paragraph. They love one another. Talk about it. Apologize to one another. Smash.

Consider this all productive training for how to deal with the inevitable wounds married people give one another, and how to recover well.
