the collection going up on netflix really made me reconsider my thoughts on trace's crow and bill's crow. i always thought i liked bill (and mike over joel) more, but i think that that was just because i learned about the show when those guys were already on it.

I hope hospitals are able to target only the specific trump supporters you think are deserving of bad healthcare, then, but I get the feeling that they won't be so precise since in the innumerable times I've found myself in the emergency room as an adult, they've never asked for voter registration cards.

Yes, part of the problem living with a chronic disease, especially a rare one, is that I actually know more about specific insurance forms than the companies do. It is an added expense, though emotionally and psychologically instead of financially. I'll be treated for something minor and worry for weeks afterward…

so if it's going to happen anyway, why not have pelosi fight it like she claims to be able to?

then pelosi shouldn't have even implied that they "could stop them."

not really, what? I agree that 2018 is and always was, going by history, looking optimistic for democrats. pelosi said to jeff stein of vox, "Someone asked me, 'Why dont you stop them?' Because we want them to define themselves …They will walk this plank for nothing." how am I supposed to feel about that? if the…

In late 2015 I had a seizure,at home - the only one I've ever had - and fell in the kitchen with my wife near me. She called 911 and I was taken to the hospital by ambulance. We told everyone there I have hemophilia, including my blood levels, the dosages I needed for what type of bleeding, the preventative measures,…

midterms almost always favor the party not in the white house, so it feels like they have more of a choice than ever before, honestly. the GOP might have already set themselves on fire but the democrats sure do seem content to let them run right at me in that condition. i have had insurance billed $880k in the last…

i mean, i hope you're right. i got burned thinking in 2012 "oh man, the republican party as we know it will have to completely change," and the party even did an autopsy of what went wrong, but it just didn't seem to matter much.

pelosi within the last week rejected the idea of single-payer being part of the democrat's platform going forward, so if it's moving towards that it's only glacially. I don't like pelosi much but she's still one of the leading democrats in the house regardless.

the "fewer regulations means cheaper healthcare" thing is especially bullshit to me, a person with hemophilia born in the 80s, who has known personally many hemophiliacs my age die to HIV and hepatitis from all the blood product we had to receive before recombinant product became more standard.

yeah but jj was only 13 when matteo was breaking hearts on mtv's next

genuinely well done internet

chuck lorre versus donald trump, cool. it is like watching a game of baseball where it is the boston red sox versus nine sentient pepes. i guess all four bring the same amount of "sorry u got offended" racist jokes probably

oh boy, and garth decked out in all reebok gear in that same scene. it really is a time capsule of a very specific time. but I love wayne's world all the same

yeah, mishima was for sure the easiest to figure out. I think part of the issue I had was that sometimes you just don't know how you mean certain phrases to be said. I swear that sometimes I'd choose an option and it was taken in a way I didn't expect. I usually assume dialog options in games aren't delivered…

also late in the game there's an ability that I think the thor persona can learn, and maybe gabriel too, which gives you 10% HP and 5% SP per turn after an ambush, which is crazy. and you can train persona to learn invigorate to get more SP per turn.

I kind of agree with social links being a bit silly in that you need to tell them what they want to hear instead of what you'd like to say, but I guess social links are so much of an improvement to me over P3 that I had just overlooked the shortcomings.

kawakami was my favorite character but I could just not bring myself to enter a romantic relationship with her as her student.

I was down on ann for most of the game, too, but once I got her second awakening and had both fire amp and fire boost skills on her, along with an accessory to help her evade physical attacks, she really became my main damage dealer. and I kept dekaja on her to debuff the enemies, and it became so useful for the last…
