Y'all should watch midnight, it is good times. It is not cringy at all which is typically what people think when they hear the premise. It's just a fun time for comedians to joke around about stuff. I love it. Also Chris Hardwick is delightful.
It's one of the few things I miss since I got rid of cable because I don't think it's on Hulu
it sucked playing CAH with a jewish person who hated jew jokes
like why even play the game
of course everyone had to pretend they were super offended when I played my holocaust joke when she joined mid game and stated to take it easy on the jewish cards
bitch that was half my fucking cards
a) i agree, why play CAH under those circumstances (though I would say why play under any circumstances >:c )
b) man if somebody asks you to take it easy on the jewish cards i think dropping out of the game, turning in your cards for a new hand, or just submitting losing entries for the rest of the game are all better options than playing a holocaust joke that is going to offend them
c) bitch is not a very nice word to use as an earnest insult to a lady person!
like 80% of the cards in CAH are holocaust cards
pretending for a moment that that's true, just dumping your holocaust cards over and over again until it becomes clear that the game doesn't work under her restriction still seems like a nicer way to handle things

it is better for me to owe 4,000 dollars than 150,000 dollars
but there's definitely a part of my brain that's still like, 4k is not a thing i could deal with i'd probably just default
The nice thing about medical expenses is that as long as you're paying something they're mostly just happy they're getting money. Most places I've talked to have been pretty good about working out payment plans. I'm paying down a colonoscopy with 20 dollar a month payments. No interest because it's a medical bill not a loan or anything so while I could pay it off sooner, 20 bucks is really really easy to do. That probably runs out soon at this point, I should check that.
But everyone should definitely get health insurance if possible, way better to have it and not need it than the alternative.
the problem is if you have a deductable more than like $500, nobody is going to go get things fixed if they're not immediately life-threatening
like oh my back hurts
I think I need some kinda surgery
technically you can afford it but people don't want to go into debt to do it
they wait it out hoping they just get better, or their insurance might get better
for instance my knee is all kinds of fucked up right now
I could go to the doctor and spend several hundred just to get referred to a specialst where I spend several hundred more to spend a grand on getting imaging done, and then get the choice of spending thousands on either surgery or physical therapy, or both.
oooor I could just not that and deal and hope I luck into money/baller insurance/we get single-payer
typically a $500 deductible is on a per-year basis and not a per-visit basis
yeah, and typically people have like $3000 deducables
and then if they do any major work they're hitting their $6750 out-of-pocket max
a $500 deductible is a cadillac plan these days
quick google search has the average deductible at $1300
but i was really just trying to clarify something in case that was really keeping you from having your knee looked at is all
Please consider the environment before printing this post.
I like obsidian too - I have mastered the esoteric arts of liking two similar things at the same time - but I am not thrilled with obsidian seemingly angling themselves hard at the cheetovore crowd who get super mad about "SJWs"
There was an episode of At Midnight with Robert Kirkman, creator of The Walking Dead comics.
Walking dead spoilers:
They had to make up fake spoilers for a game and he dropped a real one that had not happened yet on the show but had happened in the comics. A brutal, graphic one. The other two people on the panel were on The Walking Dead and their faces were amazing.
Weird Al is on it sometimes and he's pretty good. Also Tom Lennon is my favorite.
Lennon is the producer of the show if you didn't know. Him and Hardwick go WAY back to when Hardwick got sober and stopped hanging with Bob Saget
like I get why Democrats have to cheerlead Obamacare, but it's mostly worthless if you can't come up with a significant percentage of your yearly income on a whim before the first dollar of care will be provided by your insurance
and for me, I'm in a position where it will be a long time before I can afford to use health insurance, but I'm going to have to basically take 10% of my income out and burn it for the monthly premium or I'm in violation of the law - forced to pay for care I can't afford to use
I mean
yeah, if you have a big expense you need to pay your deductible "up front."
But like, shouldn't you still be able to go get checkups and whatnot? And preventive care. Those things still seem useful.
Yeah, your office visits and prescriptions are just on a copay. You don't need to pay 100% of those.
is that true of all the exchange things?
i have to pay 100% of prescription costs and regular office visits until i hit my deductible. the only thing that's on a co-pay before hitting my deductible is preventative care (which in terms of office visits is defined as 1 or maybe 2 visits a year)
*Le googles*
Looks like a lot of bronze plans have shared deductibles - the deductible applies to both drugs and medical services.
I did not know that.
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.

Ok there is this CRAZY indie game on Steam early access called My Summer Car.
MY SUMMER CAR is the ultimate car owning, building, fixing, tuning, maintenance AND permadeath life survival simulator. You start the game with hundreds of loose parts and assemble both car and engine. Not only you need to maintain your car, but yourself as well. Sausages, beer and sleeping will do just fine.
If everything goes well, you have a working car which you can use for various 1990's Finnish countryside summer activities. Basically doing stupid things under influence of alcohol. After you have gathered extra money from various random jobs, you can start to tune and upgrade the car with parts ordered via snail mail. You can turn the car into a obnoxious bass-boom disco machine.... or into a rally car to participate rally competitions... or just fix it into perfect factory condition. Of course car also needs to pass the inspection or you might get into trouble with police.
Not only you have access to one car, but also several other cars and vehicles which you can use. (Mostly useful to get groceries and for towing the project car from some ditch, again).
Warning, this game is not for fainted heart. Severe car fever is required to play this properly due to it's autistic approach on car building.
Full car assembly with over hundred parts
Detailed driving and engine simulation
Various other vehicles, cars and boat to use and drive
Dozens of kilometers worth of dirt and paved roads with AI traffic
Random paying jobs to cover food, beverage and fuel expenses
Rally event to participate in
Permanent death
Sauna bathing
90's Finnish summer!
Support for steering wheel and shifter controllers
Much more!
Hmmm, that definitely sounds like a thing I would get.

I think you are not understanding the idea behind CAH, but that's okay.
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me
healthcare [chat] is making me feel like i should sit down again with my healthcare plan and have someone explain it very slowly, with examples, so that i don't get screwed when i go for medical procedures
I don't understand how my workplace health insurance plan costs more than my individual marketplace plan when they're supposed to be subsidizing part of it

Oh I know how it all works.
But yeah, it's like.
$6000 you can put on an easy payment plan with the hospital is crappy, but it's workable enough for if you need emergent care.
But even a grand deductible? You're not gonna drop that unless you have to drop that.
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies
my initial enthusiasm for my healthcare plan has been dampened. i like my sub 1,000 dollar deductible but a 20% co-insurance for basically everything! fuck
what happened to like the 10 or 20 dollar copays my family had when going for stuff
i guess they were on medicare which is much better

Also I know it's super trendy to hate on CAH in chat now, but this was like.. 5 years ago
Is it? I thought they've been good at pruning the problematic cards over time and doing cool stuff
people like some of their initiatives but generally it's shittalked in chat as a horrible game

I think it's funny that it's trendy to hate on CAH in here now because I remember when it was super popular and we played it online, and I'm not even talking years and years ago
but eh, truth is some games are just fun until they're not. I think CAH is funny but it also can get old quickly. I feel like CAH would best fit in a word game tournament along with quiplash and some others

Yeah for me I have no issue with the offensiveness of CAH, just if I'm playing a game with friends I'd prefer it to be more gamey. I mean I can be offensive as fuck without the help of cards.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

I had a feeling the way you worded it was just like you were throwing out a crazy guess
