I know expensive, shitty healthcare in the USA is a stereotype, but in my experience it's also largely true

I had a brain injury from a bicycle accident. The fact that my health has bounced back, but my finances likely never will, tells me everything I need to know about our system. One injury, and I now have a lifetime of bills to pay off. I guess it makes sense in some sick way, I do owe them my life, but man, they don’t let me forget (even if my broken brain tries).

First, I love you for this joke. Second, I don’t want to risk pissing off Ron Swanson.

it’s like we have all watched these dystopian future movies and instead of heeding their warning, we all said “hold my beer”.

This is not the AI I was expected after growing up with Star Trek. I’m trying to picture just what horrors the replicators would come up with if hooked to this abomination.

Then the other clowns go and steal scarjo’s voice instead of Majel Barrett. What a future we’re building here…

Just like their name, it’s just a slogan. They wrap themselves in flags and bibles and folks fall for it every time.

truth, I feel pressure to buy the things I want because I have no faith I will be able to afford them later. I figure, get it now while I can so that when I can't, I'll have it.

lol, was kinda going for that :)

what do you expect when you buy a memewagon. f’ing numpties, all of them, everyone involved from elmo down to the buyer.

back in high school I stuck mine in a hard plastic card case. Wherever it is now that I lost it, should at least be in good shape almost 30 years later.

No worries bud, I get the feeling and it’s completely understandable when looking at the current landscape. It’s been an amazingly shitty run of luck for me lately so I’m clinging to hope.

This is why I like shower thoughts, makes for great conversation :)
