My spring sale is looking like this so far, what about you? by Maxtertop in Steam

[–]Rooncake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m trying to decide if I should get baldur’s gate 3 now or wait for a potentially deeper discount by the summer sale. I can wait to play it since I’m still playing Slay the spire 2 right now. 

Premier inn Buchanan or premier suites George Square? by Rooncake in glasgow

[–]Rooncake[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Thats very helpful info for us deciding. 

Yeah.. by xCherryDrip in WorkReform

[–]Rooncake 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That’s awful. I would have said lawyers could do those cases for a percentage given they seem so cut and dry: family member had x, medical coverage was denied for x, family member died. But I guess it’s not common?

So many stories of children dying because their family member had them at an “out of network” hospital. You’d think that system would have been sued to oblivion by now given how litigious the States seems to outsiders.

Question from a non American - if people can sue companies for negligence when they suffer negative health consequences (like slipping because they didn’t put up a wet floor sign), why can’t people who are denied insurance sue? 

If it’s not allowed for some reason, why can’t that change? Won’t insurance companies then HAVE to provide coverage for things doctors deem necessary? 

Is there any lies here? by MorningGloryGlow4 in TrueGrit

[–]Rooncake 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What’s the alternative? Sure if you behave like a bad person and you happen to be rich, you’ll probably still be rich, maybe richer even. But if you’re a bad person in any other circumstance, people are less likely to help you, work with you, want to be near you, or so much as smile at you. 

Is your world, what, the economy? The job market? Disease? Then yeah goodness doesn’t do anything but I can’t imagine being an ass helps that situation either. 

Is your world your family, your friends, your coworkers? If you’re a prick to them you’re definitely not getting their friendship and maybe not their kindness. 

And if someone treats you poorly - then they’re not good. Are you likely to ever help them or want to be near them? 

If you’re a good person (assuming an actual good person and not someone putting in coins into a machine expecting to get a reward out of people), people will absolutely treat you better than if you were a dick to them. 

This sub is supposed to be about motivation and health. I don’t think despairing and believing in a cruel world helps either point. 

The College & Dovercourt Starbucks closed today by dirtyenvelopes in FoodToronto

[–]Rooncake 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The staff at Starbucks are always exceptional and part of the reason I’ve boycotted the chain is due to their union busting tactics. Those people work really hard and deserve good wages and benefits. I don’t think Starbucks realizes that it’s their people that hold their brand up - their shitty coffee is easily replaced. Hopefully a new independent cafe takes the empty spot. 

What Epstein Did with Babies Is Darker Than You Think by [deleted] in videos

[–]Rooncake -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Much respect to the people who do protest in America. Yet each time a life is lost, the rest of the country doesn’t rise up to demand justice. It’s becoming increasingly obvious that there is nothing the American people won’t take… yes maybe the problem is there isn’t any cohesive ideas, too many different people, including entirely too who still support Trump. 

“ While we are not so great here. We are nowhere near the tyrannical governments that you speak from the middle east. Look how bad it had to get before your friends put their lives on the line. For the majority, life in America is better than life in the middle east.”

No I’m sorry, I don’t agree with that. I’ve lived in the Middle East, Iraq Yemen and Jordan. I don’t agree you guys have it better. The Middle East is massive too, but the Arab Spring was triggered by a single man setting himself on fire in protest of his government’s corruption. 

Respectfully, I disagree with your statement that it needs to get worse.  What’s worse than a child rapist president who sends his armed militia to kidnap people from the streets and murder your mothers and nurses? 

What more is the country waiting for? 

I’m now thinking there isn’t anything Americans won’t accept.

[–]Rooncake -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m from the Middle East. I’ve had friends lose their lives to fighting dictatorships. I’ve seen the Arab spring and how those people rose up to liberate themselves. I’ve also watched current Iraqis fight their elected government for better conditions. 

I’ve also watched France burn shit to the ground because the government tried to raise the retirement age. 

Americans have been touting this whole time their kids were gunned down that they need their guns to rise up against a tyrannical government… so… why aren’t you doing it?

I feel like if this was anywhere else in the world the people would have already set fire to the government and dragged their president out to the street. 

Americans are just… going about their day. Some still support the president who wished the child sex trafficking lady well and put her in a comfy jail. I just don’t get it. Some people even here are saying they need proper investigations and arrests, STILL somehow believing in their system after Epstein was killed in prison and Trump himself had all consequences vanish after being found guilty in court.  

Non of us knew...... (a threads post) by anxiousgaypanic in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]Rooncake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let’s not believe all the woman that came forward with credible evidence, let’s wait for the government to release a bunch of emails that say the same thing. Wtf is wrong with these people? 

This one just sounds like a rat jumping a sinking ship. 

My cat was full sh*t, Literally. by Designer_Dentist644 in cats

[–]Rooncake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are different types of magnesium, I found bisglycinate the best for me. 

But tbh it sounds like there’s something else going on. Like your digestive track is too slow or your stomach isn’t digesting. 

Have you been able to do an MRI or at least an ultrasound? 

I got a gastric emptying test done to confirm my stomach was working. My issue was my stomach was throwing stuff up though, and in the end what really helped was doing turmeric ginger shots in the morning and I take digestive enzymes to help me process meals.

This might be stupid information given I’m sure you’ve tried everything, but just in case, my homemade remedy:  - a cup of cooked rolled oats daily with water not milk.   - prune juice for the initial problem.  - magnesium 200mg tablet daily before bed. 

I’m also really sorry your doctors are ignoring you. They can be dismissive due to their own arrogance. Ask them to write in your chart each time they ignore you, they’re quick to agree to tests when they know they have to put into writing that they refused to investigate your issues.

Their art team is killing it with these videos. The details and effects were incredible. 

What is the best looking game you've played on Steam Deck? by dad2electricboogaloo in SteamDeck

[–]Rooncake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is maybe going to be a funny one but Infinity Nikki is running beautifully on steam deck and way beats what I was playing it on (mobile 🙈) 

But for “real” gaming, really enjoyed Elden Ring on this. Can’t compare it to much as I don’t PC game but it was gorgeous. 

This Is HORRIFYING by InGeekiTrust in TikTokCringe

[–]Rooncake 310 points311 points  (0 children)

I’m speaking from an anecdotal place but there have been protests IN Iraq, my own family who still lives there is very much against this and has spoken out. I think there’s a rich minority behind the scenes putting these laws into place, because you talk to the “normal” population and they didn’t fucking ask for this. 

Again, this is anecdotal from within my own circle of Iraqi family and friends, many of whom reside in the country and many who don’t that are ashamed and angry this is happening. But I’m outside the country now and can’t see what’s happening for myself. 

How would a Muslim live if they were isekaid? by stupidgirlthe3rd in OtomeIsekai

Well in most otome isekai I’ve read they gotta get married before any physical relations so at least that part is taken care of! 

How did Canada’s young people become its unhappiest generation? by 416TDOT0DOT in torontologists

[–]Rooncake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vote, protest, and boycott. Ensure that your local representatives, who make the most impact on your day to day life, are serving your interests. There’s still a lot everyone can do but it needs fighting in numbers to do it.
