A history professor from our university gave our speech and it was AMAZING. I remember thinking it was going to be boring AF, but it ended up being a really moving, inspiring speech about doing your best in the world and not letting your degree “make you” in a sense. I much preferred that to the “big name” person…

Meh this is a school that covered up the rape of a student leading to her suicide because they needed him for football. Pence isn’t far off what the school actually believes.

I didn’t go to my college graduation ceremony but I would have gone to this one just to walk out on Pence.

In early 2019, when Mike Pence accedes to the presidency and has a Democratic-majority House and Senate to neuter him, he’ll be the laughingstock he deserves to be. Until then, he’s no laughing matter; he deserves every display of disrespect levelled at him.

Can you imagine shelling out all that money and working that hard just for PENCE to be the speaker? Huge slap in the face.

Really don’t get why US universities get some outsider to do the speech. Even if it was someone I liked or admired doing it, such as a notable scientist in my field like Sir Tim Berners-Lee or John Carmack, I’d rather have one of my lecturers or the Vice-Chancellor do it.

I remember when I was curled up on the ground in pain. I was unable to find any doctor last minute who could help me and terrified about what was happening to my body.

Trumpcare would be the bestest healthcare! As long as you don’t ever get sick, aren’t born with a pre-existing condition, and aren’t a woman, it’s fantastic and cheap!

One in my area listed a truck for a dollar, then has the gall to write “Asking $8,000/OBO. Please be respectful when you make an offer.” Infuriating.

This is a dangerous game your playing having Jalops seek out cheap cars on CL. You know how easily we can be enticed by the lure of a project and the dream of what we could do to/with it.

I was trying, but all the dumbshits in my area list their shitmobiles for $1 but then list a much higher price in the description. I gave up after going through over 20 posts, sorry.

$200 Lincoln LS

Currently, with fair to good insurance a Colonoscopy is at least $700 to $1,000 in added costs that are not covered by insurance. I’m over 50 and have delayed mine because quite frankly I can not afford it. That’s today.

I usually don’t like to talk about politics. Especially on a public forum. But I have to give my two cents anyways.

Know what will cost you a lot more than your insurance covering IUDs?

Child support.

Some health issues affect people other than the individual directly involved. Contraception is one.

Huh, imagine that. It’s almost like a functional society.

My dad lost his colon at 45. I was fully planning on getting early colonoscopies; now I don’t know if a) they’d be covered, b) if I could afford them if not, or c) if it’ll screw me because I could be diagnosed with a pre-existing condition. It all feels like a gamble with my life where the house holds all the cards.

Well, yes, but public funding for low-effect, long-term, reversible birth control is in the best interest of the state, as it has been shown several times over to decrease unwanted pregnancies, especially to low-income families who may then turn to public assistance to support that child. IUDs are cheaper to the…

It’s always “You should pay for your own healthcare” until your geriatric diabetic ass can’t work and needs insulin. Costs do rise year to year and to have any acceptable insurance system, you need to spread those cost around to populations who can afford it. This is Health Care 101, which I know most conservatives…
