this is literally never not accurate

this is an extremely common and well understood surgery, obviously this was not a real number, but what the fuck

healthcare costs are an absurd kabuki theater between insurance and providers and no human being can possibly be expected to manage this shit

anyone who says otherwise is lying to you

so, today I got the surgery center where I got my deviated septum fixed to send me an itemized bill so I could submit to my FSA for reimbursement

my out of pocket cost: $473

what my insurance paid: $4258

what they tried to charge my insurance (not a misprint): $173692

By not just giving up, but giving up *randomly*, *in exchange for nothing*, Schumer's Democrats create two problems for themselves.

1. The argument the Republicans, not them, caused the shutdown collapses: bsky.app/profile/did:...

2. The Repubs will *absolutely* do this again next time; it worked:

HR 5371 passed Sept. 19. Democrats could have passed the CR they agreed to last night anytime since then, avoiding a shutdown. The argument why they didn't was it was necessary to save Obamacare. But now the Democrats are killing Obamacare. So why did everyone have to suffer the pain of a shutdown?

writers and editors at the times have figured out you can print any lie you want to in the newspaper if you insert the "without evidence" clause somewhere, as if the lack of evidence of the slander somehow makes it newsworthy instead of the opposite

Anton Chigurh in No Country For Old Men: “If the rule you followed brought you to this... you to this...of what use was the rule?”

Important to understand this. There's a reasonable chance that your Dem Senator who voted against it and is acting mad now was in on the play. It's the same reason why they scheduled the surrender for AFTER the election this week. They didn't want people pissed at Dems right before an election.

depsidase: cubosh: realization: the asteroid that ended the dinosaurs was technically the highest ratio of killing birds to one stone in earths history 1800oxycodone: "average rock kiss 2 birds" factoid actually just statistical error. average rock kills 0 birds. chixulub georg, which killed 3/4 of all life, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

DONALD TRUMP: [asleep, drooling on long red tie]

SENATE DEMOCRATS: fine, we give in

the world is hell but seeing loser centrist columnists post mewling wailing pleading centrist dems to stop 'acting the way bad faith leftists say you do' is so fucking funny

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

These 8 Senators sold us out to Trump:
Hassan
King
Cortez-Masto
Shaheen
Kaine
Fetterman
Durbin
Rosen

Understand This Fact: Chuck Schumer is behind this. None of these 8 are up for reelection in 2026. Schumer asked them vote yes—they agreed. He's such a coward that he folded and won't even own it.

the minute flights got canceled, Dems folded like a house of cards, leaving me to wonder why the fuck this post made some of you so angry

I am once again saying that we saw what wall to wall, panic coverage of a crisis looked like after the Biden debate and there’s no reason Trump isn’t getting that kind of coverage except for class solidarity.

Men love Makima because she has wide hips and a controlling mien. Lesbians love Makima because she is a cringe fail loser who wears a big frumpy columbo coat and desperately wants affection.

They’re wearing masks so they can’t be prosecuted later. As long as they think they can’t be prosecuted, their crimes will intensify. They will torture, starve and kill, as they have already, on greater and greater scale.

no amount of state propaganda will ever convince me this man is my enemy

Maybe Don’t Talk to the New York Times About Zohran Mamdani It’s remarkable, the people you’ll hear from. Teach for even a little while at an expensive institution—the term they tend to prefer is “elite”—and odds are that eventually someone who was a studen…

It is increasingly clear that there is a crisis of trust in legacy media, five-alarm fire stuff. It is bad for any news outlet to have a reputation that wards off people it should be talking to, and the wary are growing in number

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

me yesterday: look, Chuck Schumer is an incompetent dipshit, but somehow he’s played the shutdown semi-functionally because his opponents are even stupider

today: you fool, you idiot, Chuck Schumer has only appeared vaguely competent because his caucus actively revolted

should have known better

I am older than gender markers on passports! How do you regulate gender? By making it a form of government ID. It has nothing to do with state security, only regulation

money could buy my friends with shitty, soul-crushing jobs they're only keeping for the health insurance a year of rest to work on creative projects and take care of their bodies and minds (and cats, and gardens, and families), but it can't buy Elon Musk kids who actually like him
