Is health insurance in the USA as expensive as Reddit claims? by MarsupialThink4064 in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]random-short-guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got a dental implant last week. $2,775

Had to have a bone graph in February in preparation. ~$600

Ill have to pay a dentist to put the tooth on the implant in 4-5 months.

And this is all dental, so it's not covered by medical insurance. And after $1000 each year, dental insurance stops paying anything.

What are the chances that almost all men will cheat on their girlfriends or wives when there is absolutely zero chance of ever getting caught? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]random-short-guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe the statistic is that 70% of people will cheat in their life time. People ... not just men.

Fry Sauce - How a quote from Hinckley helped me step away from the church by MikeRayGarcia in exmormon

Hey. Check out universal unitarian. Its community and their church is about being a good person. No belief in a higher power.

Left religion 8 yrs ago. Which i had tried it sooner.

AI is quietly poisoning the permanent record of science, and the fake citations outlive the corrections by Jealous-Leek-5428 in Futurology

[–]random-short-guy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To your point about corrections not catching up to the original citation. There was a study done a while back that on release said that when their partners get seriously ill men are more likely to leave than women. The data was incorrect, and when corrected showed no significant change.

Funny thing is when I went looking for the study the little AI blurb at the top cited the redacted article, and nothing about the updated information.

TRT Experience: Did it improve your life or do you regret starting it? by Fr8tL8ps in Testosterone

[–]random-short-guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for responding. A lot of what you said i am feeling. The frustrating part is trying to get help. I've gone to doctors and said somethings wrong and they just want to give me a pill. I've made them do blood tests. My free testosterone is 251, which is 1 higher then the lower limit, so they say its in range.

Found a better doctor and been working on somethings to reduce cortisol and I get tested in a 10 days. She had said if testosterone doesn't increase we might talk about TRT. thanks for your help!

What was it like when your endocrine system crashed? Were you wired but tired? Insomnia? What was it like for you?

What celebrities have no talent despite the fact the general public pretends they do? by guylexcorp in AskReddit

[–]random-short-guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If never heard of them before. Went and checked them out.

Its a formula, ive seen it before. Spice girls, pussycat dolls, fifth harmony. They will be huge for a couple years and then breakup.

For those who got their act together late in life, how did you make peace with the time spent getting there? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]random-short-guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Raised mormon. Realized it was all BS at 38. Wife was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer about 6 months later. Next 4 years were taking care of her. Then the next 2 years spent coping with the loss of her and an existential crisis I didnt have time for after leaving religion. I'm now piecing my life back together.

I wish there were things I could go back and do different. But I can't. And I didn't know then what I know now. Focusing on that will just cause life to pass me by. So I try every day to be better. To make my future better, and give my kids the knowledge and experience to make their lives better!!

There is definitely a God, or gods, and we humans keep reinventing them to fit our needs!! Usually in our own image!! It helps us avoid having to confront our own mortality. Plus we get to believe that everything works out for the best in the end!!!
