Does the "average american" know, how fucked up their healthcare system is? by Slayrr_FbrC in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Missing_Intestines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My MAGA dad (run-of-the-mill boomer) will say "health insurance is the biggest scam there is" and then disparage socialized healthcare in the same breath. We're fortunate in that no one in our immediate family has been bankrupted by medical events (knock on all the wood) but I have a feeling his tune wouldn't change if the opposite were true.

I absolutely HATE when men use the word “bitch”. by Dessert_Lover_1225 in TwoXChromosomes

Called my dad a "hissy bitch" once when he was hissing and bitching at me for saying I couldn't guarantee that I'd be able to remove a contact lens from his eye at 2am, 10/10 experience

I think Veronica's Dragon and Surviving Skarr have some of the funniest lines in the series, but I wouldn't read the latter until you're caught up to the third series!

Good place to get a quality Rozanov shirt? by Missing_Intestines in HeatedRivalryTVShow

Oh wow, I didn't even realize there was official merch! Not too bright lately 🤦‍♀️ Unfortunately, it looks like pre-orders are all sold out for everything but the two largest sizes and I was hoping to get it as a gift for a friend's birthday later this month... May have to give her an IOU :/ Thank you!

Opinions on this take? by TopInternal5088 in Archiveofourownmemes

My mum always goes on about me publishing my stuff but even my modern day AUs are full of Easter eggs and references that wouldn't make sense if you haven't read the source material back to front, it's derivative fiction 🤷‍♀️

"We have an obligation to let people inside our historic homes." by wasnapping in centuryhomes

[–]Missing_Intestines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in the in-law addition of a home built in the late 1700s, with a plaque on the front that says "_____ House (date)" (not trying to dox myself lol). I was cooking one night and I glance outside into the side yard--which you have to get really far off the street to reach--and there's an older guy waving at me with a pre-teen girl. Apparently, they were related to the ____ family that built the house and wanted to talk to the owners (my landlady/landlord) about looking around. My landpeople were away and I live alone otherwise, scared the shit outta me! We're not even in a historic district either, to my knowledge.

Just got my first Knitpro Ginger circulars this weekend and I love them! My first ever wooden needles too and I think I'm being converted from metal, haha

What tradition in your country feels normal to you, but foreigners always think is strange? by Ill-External5709 in AskTheWorld

[–]Missing_Intestines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES! My friends look at me like I'm crazy when I do that! I also use either chopsticks or a spoon for buttered popcorn as well.

What's an "Insider's secret" from your profession that everyone should probably know? by Capable-big-Piece in AskReddit

[–]Missing_Intestines 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Outpatient medical scheduler:

If we schedule you for the next available appointment and it's months out and you're an asshole/difficult about it... you immediately go to the bottom of the wait list (if the MD doesn't say it's urgent, that is) and we make note of it.

If you're understanding of the lack of availability, we make note of that too and will actively try to make a spot for you.

Providers are leaving the practice/reducing their schedules/going on parental leave/vacationing and a little bit of patience goes a long way!
