this news is horrible and i want the person who did it to face trial and punishment but maybe we dont need to be high fiving each other over japans deeply broken justice system

Get ready for people to lose their shit. 

I mean, I got a mole tested-just tested-and the bill came to something stupid like $7,000 for the punch test.

Or having health insurance and being told it’s cosmetic so you have to pay out of pocket. And then being quoted an astronomical (for a poor person) amount of money for said cosmetic procedure.

The whole U.S. insurance model is to deny coverage, and only cover either common, well-documented type problems, or to only offer to cover something after repeated appeals.

Embarrassment, lack of insurance, unable to get a referral to a dermatologist, being told that there’s nothing to be done by a GP.

Because insurance companies are assholes.

Probably. I suffer keloids myself and I live in a 3rd world country with access to free healthcare, and get them treated at a specialist for free. It’s something I’ll never take for granted.

How does someone let that grow for 11 years? Is it lack of healthcare

You’re not an intelligent person and nobody values what you have to say.

Only if it’s called “A Rivendell Runs Through It”

Completely irrelevent to the post, but she is the most beautiful person I have ever seen in person. She practically sparkles - makes sense she was cast as an elf. It was at an event where she was with other actresses and models - who basically disappeared next to her.

Great time & place for attempting an unfunny joke. Good on ya.

Lost in the horror of other specifics of this incident is the way it’s casually noted that Echartea just happened to have a gun on his person.

I think about the time I posted the Margaret Atwood quote here and got flamed for days from men who thought it of vital importance that I recognize that it is #NotAllMen. They cited examples of all the times they got rejected and didn’t attack anyone (of course they didn’t get rejected very often because they were…

I’m sure the Founders would have considered this to be well-regulated militia activity. 

As an autistic person this shit makes me mad. Instead of this nonsense, parents could be helping their kids with better ways to cope with life, including what to do when they have sensory overload, picking up on kids language skills when they’re non verbal, stimming, helping with schedules and routines, etc and…

Kindly fuck off, tbh. It might be “only” $500 to you, but to some people, you might as well ask for $500,000. There are a lot of people living paycheck to paycheck who don’t have enough money to pay rent AND eat for the month, let alone an extra $500 for bail money.
