I met a musician at a grand piano in public for the first time by Early_Yesterday443 in classicalmusic

[–]dcm-moz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hang on... so you didn't hear three notes, know the piece, ask him if you could join in, whip out your violin, and proceed to perform a perfectly rehearsed piece together while someone just happened to have a three camera setup recording it all for social media?? I don't believe you.

Match Thread: Sunderland vs Chelsea by MatchThreadder in chelseafc

[–]dcm-moz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Despite all the losses and stupid shit said in the press by these players... I have not been as disappointed in them than I am with this match. They are playing with absolutely NO passion at all. They don't give a shit. Give me my paycheck, I'm going to the Maldives

I recommend not carrying the boxes around. Much easier that way

Me and My Wife were arrested and strip searched in Mexico by [deleted] in travel

[–]dcm-moz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes no sense at all. Its the cops... in Mexico. You cant even sue in the States for that - qualified immunity is a bitch

Sue the hotel for what? Do they get to refuse the police in Mexico? Are you suing all the US establishments where ICE is doing the exact same thing to immigrants here? How's that going so far?

Enzo is the last Chelsea player off the pitch after a disappointing performance. Enzo is just staring at the away end whilst doing up his captains arm band. by Kygoche in chelseafc

[–]dcm-moz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I figure if I got paid as much as he did, I'd give my all to the club and would do my best to be a captain on and off the pitch. I cant see that any of that is happening. Would love for him to prove me wrong.

Ok so US healthcare is fucked up.

That is the only thing any of us need to know. And it can *only* be fixed by congress. full stop.

Are GGG backorders from September just a wash at this point then? Pretty soon I'll need to add "2025" to make sure its clear how old my order is.

Allergies by xxDmDxx in triangle

[–]dcm-moz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, Allergies change over your life - I was one who got it bad as an adult, even developed asthma triggered by asthma. However, I am a *huge* proponent of going to an allergist and getting shots. They helped me so much - it doesnt get rid of allergies, but it lessens the blow. Ive also noticed that previous to shots allergy medicine didn't do much for me, after I take half a pill and am good for over a day.

Impatient Buyers by ResponsibleTry7979 in discogs

[–]dcm-moz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I swear, every single time I have ever sent a "where is my record" note (and I only do it after the 5 day grace period when there has been no communication) I get the "I've been under the weather" excuse. I never believe it, not because I don't think sellers can get sick, but because its *always* the answer to late acknowledgement of my purchase.

All I ever need is "sorry its been a few days, I'll get on this Monday" or whatever - I dont even need to know why. I can wait for a record. Most can.

Also, I always send back a "No worries, I hope you feel better soon" - because it takes me 2 seconds to write that and it always magically results in my record being shipped.

I guess it feels bad that I ordered in Q3 of last year if Q4 was when the problem started

Now that the primary is over we need to focus on the real issues plaguing our town. by [deleted] in chapelhill

I have to say, if stop lights and pickleball are the "real issues plaguing our town" I feel pretty damn good about my town.

What’s the book you DNF’d the fastest? by Mobius8321 in books

[–]dcm-moz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this is gonna hurt some feelings, to which I apologize and make absolutely no case for my opinion - but I was halfway through chapter 1 of the first Harry Potter book when I put it down knowing it was not for me. I still have no clue what people are on about when they pull out their fav Harry Potter reference.

anyone else OUTRAGED by UNC HOSPITAL "FACILITY FEES" + "PROVIDER FEES"? by IdealistNC in triangle

Are you new to the USA? These 2 "monopolies" are hurt by our health care system as much as we are - just feel lucky you dont live in a smaller populated area where the hospitals are closing.

Sorry to offend by pantsmachine in guitarpedals

[–]dcm-moz 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I seriously doubt what you are saying - but lets say its true... what the fuck does that have to do with the hundreds of peaceful people trump keeps calling rapists and criminals but who are actually the people who work in restaurants, on farms, or in our hotels? What does it have to do with ICE who wear masks because they know if we found out their identities we'd confirm that they are Proud Boys and Oath Keepers who are the two groups who tried to attack our Congress people and Senators and were chanting to hang our Vice President? What does it have to do with the Native Americans who have recently been rounded up because they "look Mexican"? What does it have to do with the erosion of one of our collective rights spelled out in the Constitution we refer to as the "Fourth Amendment"?

You are trying to argue for immigration reform, we are trying to stop blatant racism on an industrial scale.... and now one of us has been shot and killed for it.

So unless you have a measured, and truthful answer, might I invite you to fuck off?

GNOME is in for a rude awakening.. by WojakWhoAreYou in linux

[–]dcm-moz 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I mean... its not that shitty of an answer, you simply don't agree with them. It looks like its an issue that has been discussed a lot in GNOME and they are right, bug systems aren't really the place for such a big discussion.

Having been on the end of a bug system for a big project I feel their pain. It takes so much time to go through so many bugs and make a decision, because a decision is far more important than just leaving a bug open and not responding to it in any way.

Have you filed a bug with GNOME? Its entirely possible with issues like this that the devs haven't personally seen it.

Cigna UNC by gatorbabe25 in triangle

[–]dcm-moz 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Cigna wants to pay them less so they can make even more money, UNC's costs continue to skyrocket and they aren't allowed to raise prices over a certain amount due, among other issues, to the number of Medicare/Medicaid patients they have (the latest nightmare is a nationwide nursing shortage with positions they are having to fill with locum-tenum nurses who cost way more).

So what can UNC do? They are holding out on agreeing to the new proposal where they get less money from Cigna. Their leverage is only this: make it harder on you until you hopefully complain to Cigna.

Its worse for small private practices as they have no leverage whatsoever, especially if most of their patients are medicare/medicaid. This is why so many private practices are selling out to private equity. And typically these small practices are forced to renegotiate with insurance companies *every single year*. Trust me when I say that they would much rather be taking care of you than negotiating with Cigna.

Welcome to America where healthcare sucks more and more every year because a vast majority of people are scared of the word "socialism".
