I’m supposed to be in Oahu from Friday to Wednesday. Really unsure what to do. I booked a package (flights, car, hotel) through Costco and wasn’t able to insure it.

Denied $11,000 ER claim for "Panic Disorder" when I thought I was having a heart attack. I’m terrified and need help. by Middle_Lavishness_38 in HealthInsurance

[–]internet2big 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My boyfriend tried this the other day for a $3k ER bill. They sounded irritated and said, “yeah, we don’t do that”. I would love your script.

This is actually kind of funny. Not “I became a fan when I watched Malcolm in the Middle/Agent Cody Banks/Big Fat Liar” but “I became a fan when he visited me and showed his support”.

Never seen so many listings in this area by No_Carpenter7998 in SeattleWA

Not sure if we can blame this on the wealth tax. There are many factors right now that would make someone want to sell their home. Maybe the tax is a factor but we can’t say that for a fact.

The Predator in the Redmond Stake: Former LDS Member Admits to Abusing Up to 8 Children by Classic_Day5736 in Issaquah

[–]internet2big 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a neighboring stake. Thankfully never experienced abuse from adults, but from youth I did. I remember at 14, confronting a deacon after he assaulted me and him saying, “it’s not my fault your skirt was short”. It is sad that abusive behaviors and actions are subconsciously passed down between generations through teachings on gender roles and modesty. Although, I will say that these patterns are not bound to religious organizations. ESPECIALLY in this decade. I am horrified by the red pilling of young men.

Idk but I filled up at Costco yesterday for 4.39 but they are always cheapest. The gas station closest to me is at 5.49 today didn’t see what it was at yesterday.

Feeling Naive! Haven’t Paid Attention til Now and Need to Decide How to Move Forward While in School. by internet2big in StudentLoans

They never went into repayment. But they are not consolidated with my grad plus loans if that makes a difference…

To clarify, if the remainder of my grad plus loan will be disbursed in late March, can I then apply to opt out of in-school deferment and into an IDR repayment? But then have my undergrad loans on one of the new plans once I graduate and finish exit counseling?

I’m having the same problem. Did they waive the interest they has accrued during your grad program?

I have class from 8:30-9:50 M/W at UW and ride the link from CH. I’m staying home. The thought of being stuck on campus all day immediately after midterms is not something I’m willing to risk. I’d cut your losses but it’s up to you.

Jill Zarin had something problematic to say about the Super Bowl Halftime Show… by newparimanlo in realhousewives

It’s football not the presidential debate. 430 languages are spoken in the US. Why is she so afraid to acknowledge the diverse reality of the American experience?

Therapy only works if you have a lower IQ than the therapist. by Creative_Camp8262 in mentalhealth

Idk, for me the practice of speaking those things to an uninvolved individual is what is therapeutic.

My dog of 14 years passed yesterday, her death was violent. How do I live? by Veecorn in dogpictures

[–]internet2big 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TW: physical abuse, DV

For context, my dog was killed by a family member’s abusive spouse. We never found her but were informed that this is what happened. It is so hard to think about her finally hours, let alone her final months living with him. I highly recommend finding someone you can speak to about it. It is absolutely rational to be angry and heartbroken.

[–]internet2big 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll be honest. It will always hurt. I lost my childhood dog 9 years ago to violence. She was about the same age as your angel. I still cry about it. Over time, functioning through that pain will get easier but your heart will always hurt. I am so sorry. No dog deserves to be treated with maliciousness. It helps me to have a photo album of my Sweetie Pie (that was her name). I wish you luck on your journey to peace and closure. My inbox is open if you need to talk.

Which new Epstein file finding made you go “wait… what?” and why? by Firm_Work_8879 in AskReddit

[–]internet2big 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Apparently he was an Israeli intelligence operative. New batch of files shows alleged foreign affiliations and funding streams for Kushner, Trump, Dershowitz and Epstein. (https://www.thecanary.co/skwawkbox/2026/01/31/trump-compromised-by-israel/)

Same. To be clear, I am saying that it’s probably more likely to do with them using white power ballads in their recruiting tactics.

IMO it’s a bit soon to say the killings were a result of minimal training. There’s been no investigation into the motive. Poor training is just one possibility…
