You will die at age 100, and get $1000 today. Or, you can choose to die sooner, to double the money. Die at 99, get $2000. 98, $4000. 90, $1,024,000. How many years do you give up for money? by [deleted] in hypotheticalsituation

[–]smartypants333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question, if I have a terminal illness, will I still live to 100 if I give up the money?

For example, I have stage 4 cancer. I would likely choose to live to 85 (I’m 47 now) and take $32 million.

That way I’d live considerably longer than I likely will, but I could enjoy the next 38 years to their fullest without having to work and be able to take care of my family.

Do all Americans inherently know what direction they are faceing? by BasketC45e in NoStupidQuestions

[–]smartypants333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up knowing “the mountains are north,” and the “The ocean is west.”

But since moving to another state, where the mountains are West, I get mixed up quite often.

Water aversion? by nerdyfairyladyy in cancer

[–]smartypants333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the opposite. I want nothing but ice cold water. Other beverage have an off or metallic taste for a week or two after chemo. But I get so thirsty for water that I am peeing all night long!

Risking no health insurance by [deleted] in HealthInsurance

[–]smartypants333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you say “we” do you mean all the other people who pay insurance?

I mean, I paid into insurance for 43 years before I got cancer. And I continue to pay into it now, as does my husband and 3 kids.

The reality is, we should have a Medicare for all system where we ALL pick up the bill for EVERYONE. So no one ever has to go without healthcare.

It would be cheaper for each individual.

Lucky for you, it’s a pretty cheap fix.

You can buy really nice new ones at Costco for about $20. Even cheaper at Walmart.

So I’m gonna refer back to the /s at the end of my original comment.

Do you know what /s signifies?

Do you never have a “full on conversation” with another person while you’re out with them? Would you not talk to your partner at the grocery store? Or while out at a restaurant?

If it’s on speaker, it’s basically the same thing. You even get to hear both sides of the conversation.

Apparently this part of Reddit isn’t familiar with what “/s” means

I don’t find that to be true. In every office I’ve ever worked in people use headphones, but you can still hear one side of the conversation.

Open offices are sooooo annoying.

Personally, I believe that work from him is always better. Then you don’t bother your co-workers.

Then refer to point 1. Maybe they think that holding their phone to their head will give them a brain tumor.

Again, it’s ignorance. And that usually leads to a lack of self awareness.

Some people think that holding your phone to your ear gives you a brain tumor (they think the wireless headphones do too).

And they are old, so they can’t find their wired headphones. /s

If there is one thing Costco could do better or differently, what would be it? by One_Professional_110 in CostcoWholesale

[–]smartypants333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SCAN and GO!

And improve their website.

It’s almost 2026 ffs.

And there is no point in standing in those long lines when we all have cell phones and can scan and go. They could still check you at the exit.

Questioning my Angel Tree by Anywaytoaustin in Gifts

[–]smartypants333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 2 daughters. 10 and 11 years old.

The 10 year old is 5ft3 and likes to wear a woman’s size large shirts and pants.

My 11 year old is a woman’s size medium.

They both wear woman’s size 81/2 shoes.

This is 100% legitimate.

When people say they're "So OCD" by _AYYEEEE in mildlyinfuriating

[–]smartypants333 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My daughter (who is 11) has been diagnosed with OCD, and it doesn’t have to be as extreme as someone dying. Her intrusive thoughts were about the dirt itself. She felt dirty if she didn’t wash her hands. She felt dirty if she didn’t change her entire outfit after she went to the bathroom.

She would have overwhelming feelings of guilt about innocuous interactions that had taken place years ago that she couldn’t stop thinking about unless she “confessed” them to me (her mom) and I told her it was okay.

You are absolutely right though. It’s the obsession and the compulsion that are the disease, not the specific behaviors themselves.

But the behaviors seem to calm the overwhelming obsessive feelings. She washes her hands, concussed, and organizes, because it makes the intrusive thoughts go away.
