Can I sue my Health insurance company for making their services so confusing and awful that I’m afraid to use them?

Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield medical insurance sucks. Their systems make no sense & are designed to confuse & waste their customers' time, not to serve the customers who send them way too much money every month. I don't know why I even bother. They're garbage. Absolute trash.

How the fuck can a vet in good conscience charge that much? Especially considering NYC’s stray cat overpopulation issue! I’m flabbergasted. Tell me there are vets here who charge less, please.

I mean, vets fly into remote cities and do these operations out of the back of vans to help curb cat overpopulation. If the cat is healthy and the team well trained they can do it in minutes.

A coworker told me how much she’d been quoted to neuter her young male cat.

$900

Seriously. Is that right? Have other New Yorkers been charged that much, too? Spaying and neutering, from what I understand from a friend who is a vet elsewhere, that these are comparatively simple procedures ….

I had heard anecdotally that it was expensive to get your pet neutered in NYC, and that it is part of the reason for the enormous problem the city has with feral/stray overpopulation, but for some reason I’d never heard an actual number. Until recently.

Accurate post is accurate. #makeitso

If you ever send me an email at work you’d better fucking not stop by my desk asking me if I saw it.

We know when you are sleeping. We know when you’re awake.

I’d love to know why Anthem/Blue Cross/Blue Shield is requiring preauthorization from my doctor for a medication that I’ve been taking more than TWENTY YEARS. Hope your CEO is enjoying his or her 7th yacht. Happy fucking holidays. American healthcare is bullshit.

TRANSMUTATION is a wry, and at the same time dark and risk-taking, story collection from author (and baker) @alessandrostardust.bsky.social that pushes the boundaries of transgender awareness and filial bonds.

I just can’t get over these credit card companies offering 22% interest to us like it’s some kind of great deal.

If it wasn’t for Instagram stories I’d never see things my friends post. Instead I see the same Carol Burnett reel for 5 days in a row plus ads for things I have no interest in. So fucking tired of it

Why do we burst out laughing but burst into tears? Are emotions combustible? Discuss.

Google in general is becoming seriously frustrating and am considering how I can break free. Their searches suck now. The gdrive sucks.

In order to make a product suggestion to Google you have to have a business account and that must have Cloud Search turned on which can only be done by an account administrator, so if you’re just a person with a Gmail you can’t make suggestions or post to Google help threads. Doesn’t seem very fair.

Is there anything more disappointing than expecting a chocolate chip cookie only to discover it is oatmeal raisin?

While I’m at it — please also stop using the carousels that automatically cycle through images or testimonials, etc. if you’re not also going to allow the viewer to pause the images/text so they can actually appreciate/read them.

Folks who design websites please stop setting up the giant gimmick pop ups on your page that ask visitors to spin to win in order to receive a percentage discount “ … if you sign up for our mailing list right now.” It decreases my willingness to buy your shit by 100%.

Zoom! Zee double oh em!

Dear Social Media. I have not and will not ever want to watch a video in which p*mples are p*pped or b*ils are lanced or ANYTHING is pried, pressed, poked, or sucked out of a body. Never. Jesus.

Even better!! He looks so happy to be out and sniffin’ things

This is a very small cat! 😸 (This is also an adorable pic!)

Oh yeah, I also realize I could have chosen “pick up” but I’m old and get off my lawn
