Yes. They don’t have to be public companies for investors to lose their shirts, and employees to lose their jobs.

You can’t please everyone, so pick the audience you want to write to. If you don’t care what angry white guys think, then create your characters however you like.

Exactly. They want to bring in exponentially more premiums than what they spend on advertising, and the new premiums are what provides the cash to pay other policy claims. It’s really kind of an accepted form of Ponzi scheme. They are gambling that they will find enough people who will never need to make a claim in order to afford the few that do.

We should compile a playlist.

• jackhammer
• air raid siren*
• trumpet reveille
• taiko drumming
• “eagle” (i.e. hawk) cry
• monkeys screeching
• Woody fuckin Woodpecker laugh
• applause
• theme from Rawhide

*maybe don’t use this one in tornado country. Don’t desensitize oneself to actual emergency warning tones.

I can get behind that!

Yes. Because for the kids that show up at my door without a costume, candy is probably not in their family budget, at all, ever. I load em up.

My pet peeve about these gutters is 4 way intersections where the city planner put stop signs for the direction that doesn’t have to cross the gutters, and makes the gutter-crossing direction the primary right of way. We have to essentially come to a slow roll to not bottom out, just give us the stop signs as a heads up that we’re approaching a hazard that eats undercarriages.

I agree, but the one person I knew who did this was a rich asshole. He had zero fucks to give.

Snek is just killing time.

What kind of work do they get into?

Maybe speak to an airline booking agent? I wonder if the weight limit might be different in business class. Upgrading your seat might be cheaper than buying two coach seats.

I 100% expected this to turn into a Hell in the Cell meme

Same! First thought the title was a typo!

Very good points. I based my comment on a personal experience with family, and they were not endangered by waiting a few days to see a cardiologist. I didn’t know there could be other causes that are critical enough for the ER. But I should have guessed because I know it is similar with tachycardia. Sometimes someone’s had too much Red Bull, and sometimes it’s a birth defect in the nodes in the heart and heavy sedatives are needed to calm that down.

My husband would get wild upset stomachs before we went out on a date. His aunt would tease him that he was allergic to me. It was anxiety.

I could spend the whole weekend with him in his apartment, and he’d feel fine. It only happened before we planned to go out to dinner specifically. Lunch was nbd to his brain.

If it’s bugging you not knowing and you don’t want to wait until your clinic appt, then yes, urgent care would be able to at least tell you if it’s an emergency cardiac event and send you on to the ER, or if it’s something like afib and it can wait to follow up with an office visit.

I do want one. I’ve even designed it. I can’t decide where to put it that aesthectically pleases me.

I wanted so badly for the app icon to be a potted plant.
