Does getting health care mean leaving your basement?

If so, young men aren’t doing it.

Hell, I leave my basement frequently and don’t want to get health care because I’m sure it will bankrupt me.

If someone callled me an ambulance I’d fight them because I don’t have ambulance money.

Can confirm. I dont leave my basement or get healthcare.

This is absurd, considering Mike Johnson doesn’t work for a living. None of these government officials do anything worthwhile but still get paid for it.

It’s hard being that evil

Stupidmanager,

Pays well too. The price of their morality for a lifetime of pay and free healthcare. Because let’s face it, these idiots get FEHB healthcare for life for being in congress because they made it so. They get a salary AFTER they served too, after Min 5 years, but they get 80% of their salary as part of a pension. Insane nonsense if you stay for 20 years compared to what we get.

What we can? How? I’ve been eating ramen and hemorrhaging savings paying for cobra

Lost_My_Mind,

Well see thats you’re problem. Ditch cobra and join J.I JOOOOEEEEEE!!!

Then you can be paid under minimum wage to risk your life fighting in unjust wars, only to find your government abandons you and any help you were promised for injuries or complications to your daily lifestyle as a result of your time in the service.

See? 'MURICA!

Can confirm. Here in Canada, nobody works. We all sit at home and play video games instead. There’s no industry, no shops, no hospitals. Only video games.

Yeah, most people I know don’t have jobs! We just run extension cords between our igloos to power our video game machines. If it weren’t for them we could totally be like the States. 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

NocturnalEngineer,

Can confirm, only video games in the UK too. Certainly not the 6th largest economy in the world worth £3.84 trillion. Nor a labour force with 74.9% in employment, that would be silly!

P1nkman,

Norwegian living in Denmark. I moved from Norway because everyone was just gaming, but I wanted to go to gigs, so I moved. Turns out everyone games in Denmark all the time too! It must be why the Northern European countries score so high in the happiness rating: all we do is game all day. It’s not like these countries have any money, especially Norway.

MBech,

I am so fucking tired of gaming, could someone for the love of fuck get rid of my healthcare?!?!?! I wake up, gaming. For lunch I game. Dinner? You guessed it, gaming. At night I just constantly game. I don’t know how I get out of this, but at least my health is fucking fantastic!

anomnom,

Wait, isn’t Norway mostly rich from oil?

I’m glad they use it for the good of its citizens, but it’s kinda fucking the rest of us.

P1nkman,

Extremely rich on oil.

loomy,

sounds nice tbh

xavier_berthiaume,

In Québec we all own a state mandated PS5 (no Xbox’s allowed, that would be illegal) and play a variety of Fifa, Marvel Heroes and Valorant because it’s said to sharpen our skills and better society. Many women knock on my door saying they want me to grant them children, but knowing that my KDA might suffer from their demands I know not to give in, and to instead keep grinding until my next government granted dialysis appointment. Mon dieu que j’aime le Québec 🙏

dubyakay,

I’ve been on the waiting list for my PS5 for the past four years. Just like my family doctor.

Exactly.

Even before computers, we Indians were happily playing Chess until Mughals invaded us.

And then we showed them Chess, got them hooked, and then Brits invaded us.

Or, what if their healthcare continued to be free so they wouldn’t have an incentive to find a way to live on $700 month?

I know one of those young men playing video games, and he REALLY wants a job, but no matter how he works the math, the medication that keeps him alive costs more than what he’d make. So, his only choice is to budget around permanent poverty or die.

@Default_Defect@midwest.social avatar

Same reason I’ve been unemployed for a long while, my disability and medicare covers so much of my costs that working would likely result in less money in my pocket.

HeyJoe,

What are you going to do after all this is over, and it’s either even harder to get or just completely gone? Im sorry you have to go through any of this…

Default_Defect,
@Default_Defect@midwest.social avatar

No idea, I have a good support structure, so I’m probably not completely fucked if/when it comes down to it. Also my doctor has implied he has some way of helping, should the shit hit the fan, not sure what that could possibly entail though.

ms_lane,

They’d have to have free healthcare in the first place…

ccunning,

Is this a reference to something in particular or just picking a random shitty disease?

marlowe221,

It’s not just a shitty disease…. It’s a shitty disease that the Social Security Administration really, REALLY does not like to pay out disability for. Mostly because, unless something has changed recently, it’s hard to prove that you actually have it because it defies easily quantifiable medical testing, among other things.

So, it would be a curse on multiple levels!

Thnx for this reply.

Yes.

I feel I just exist to be in pain.

Mostly to feed my cats and love them. -.-

Tollana1234567,

its not well recognized disease, and cant really be detected in tests, is subjective symptoms.

ccunning,

I’m familiar with it. I have (“had” actually) family with it. Just trying to understand if OP was referencing something in particular.

It sounds like OP was cursing this guy with the disease they have. So not random then.

I quite like Strange Horticulture, but it felt too linear for my tastes. This seems like an interesting shakeup of that formula. I’ll keep an eye on it

  • moncharleskey,

    Personally I wouldn’t say the 2nd was terrible. The first was a better game, but it was helped significantly by free post release updates, which DL2 has gotten a lot of a well. I was pretty impressed with the depth of the city and I like the slow infection aspect. I really miss having a vehicle, but if I remember correctly, there wasn’t a vehicle in the first one at launch and it was added later. Just my 2 cents.

    nostalgicgamerz,

    What do you mean? The second one comes out in a few months…

    The only sequel I’ve heard that is coming out after The Following is The Beast /s

    GreyCat,

    It wasn’t utter shit, or even bad. It just doesn’t hook you like the first one does.

    Meruten, do games w Dying Light continues celebrating its 10th anniversary with a big graphical facelift, but don't you dare call it a remaster

    Are they going to patch the ps4 version to not run at 1080p 30fps with thick motion blur on the ps5?

    It doesn’t look it like, but they’re still charging £25 for over on PSN.

    Damm it’s kinda bad that there is a logical justification for calling it a retouch instead of remaster and that this argument shits on so many large game companies

    Kabutor, do games w I played Lovecraftian doctor simulator Do No Harm, and let me tell you, my brother in Cthulhu, I did some serious harm

    I enjoyed the other game mentioned in the article, Strange Horticulture up to a point where it was too lineal or I stopped caring about it, because there were too many plants, cant remember why i didnt finish it This one looks promising for sure

    mohab, do games w I played Lovecraftian doctor simulator Do No Harm, and let me tell you, my brother in Cthulhu, I did some serious harm

    I'm not gonna touch this, but I'm glad it exists 😂
