I don’t know what’s worse. The situation we’re in now, or Ragnarok/Cataclysm/Armageddon/The Apocalypse.

Y’all wanna hear something real fucked up? My sister has severe stomach issues and can go days to weeks throwing up anything she tries to eat/drink. Recently her doctor prescribed her an anti nausea medication that she needs to not die from dehydration/starvation from vomiting. We were told it would be 30 pills. When we went to cvs to pick it up, we received only 9 pills. When I asked why, the poor ladies behind the counter told me that had to bargain with the damn insurance company to get my sister’s pills to a low enough dose so we could be covered. The kicker? If we were giving the full 30 days supply of ANTI NAUSEA PILLS, we would have to pay out of pocket 43,000 DOLLARS. We’d need to take a second mortgage out just to get meds that prevent my sis from throwing up every time she eats. Fuck America’s health care system.

Without RAMQ (Quebec Health Insurance, it's run by the government), my medication would cost at least 2000 dollars a month. I just wouldn't be able to live alone/be independent without it, and am so glad it's covered. I wouldn't be able to work most jobs without it since, y'know, functioning hands are important, but then by proxy I wouldn't be able to afford the medication because I can't work. Knowing the USA, they'd probably also mark up my medication to be like 10000 per shot.

At least you have a job that allows you to pay for some ridiculously overpriced basic human rights. I can tell you, misophonia and misokinesia (got both of them) are no fun. Waiting for official diagnosis, but until then I'm stuck in this void. Can't get any form of compensation without it for my inability to work full-time (in a place that requires social contact) for more than a few months at most. Insurance isn't even the biggest problem; I'm left with crushing college debt because of having to drop out due to burnouts. In the end, it's for the best as my health comes first but I would accept an "unskilled job" in a heartbeat if that means I can work in peace with enough rest in between workdays (either shorter or 3-4 workdays a week). Just something so I could get the bare minimum, and feel like I have a future.

Our steel driver that bring in steel shipments I try to get in and unload as quick as possible so they can head back out and find more work if they want

1:07:28 i JUST realized he’s Leith Pierre and it makes so much sense now

22:58 "Track conversions" is not a typo. In this context someone being shown an ad and then making a purchase because of that ad is a "conversion" Some more clarifications i guess; Antihomless laws that jail them for years are what happens when places have prisoners work for the prison's profit. Prison windows are ass to prevent escape/suicide An ambulance is indeed not just a "taxi to the hospital" but it is waay insanely overpriced in the US. An ambulance gets to legally ignore traffic laws to get you to the hospital as quickly as possible while administering medical attention on the way.

Technically true. Depending on which ones you mean, they tended to have very big bedrooms but did have to share. Share beds that is. I'd heard how delusional people had got comparing today with the past, but this takes the cake.

The EU alredy solved the ATM promblem. They are 24/7 but acces to the small room they are in is restricted by a card scaner at the door. You have acces to the inside if you have a active card and wen you enter you are held responsible for any damages, and no one else can enter sed room till the the one inside leaves.

That squeaky toy's noise is one of the triggers that makes me laugh no matter what. It's making this whole experience rather interesting, as I'm angry with what's on screen, yet laughing each time that sound pops up. I'm angry laughing.

Robin rant time!

Watching this video after having to console my crying mom because she had to work a 14 hour shift, stopping by to give commentary and some relevant anecdotes to a couple of the posts. First off, the US made microchips being found in captured russian vehicles… it’s pretty moderate compared to where else our MIC has stuck its fingers. We’ve sold aircraft to both Turkey and Greece, who are in constant spats with each other and it’s a regular Thursday for them to shoot down the other one’s fighter jet, and so it’s often you will see American built jets facing off against American built jets between the two sides. Second off, the post about the shift leader having to come into work on his birthday… at least he got pizza. A coworker/friend of mine had to come into work on his birthday and he got nothing special for it, not even a birthday card. I work at an escape room and we do more for customers having a birthday than we did for bro who worked on his birthday, we usually have to make customers cards and everyone on shift has to sign them but I digress. The reason my friend had to go in on his birthday is because nobody could cover his shift. I was the only one available and willing to take the shift byt I wasn’t even allowed to because I would’ve gone into overtime during the shift and they didn’t wanna pay the extra $40, which pissed me off.

That's sad. My mom works 16-hour shifts sometimes. Luckily, her work can't legally keep her at work more than 48 hours a week because she is physically disabled. (Her shoulder muscles were ripped beyond repair, and her hips were damaged beyond repair.) I hope it gets better for everyone's sake. Good luck.

Prisoners are also charged for rent not just utilities. And if they can't pay the bill when getting out of prison they can get sent back to jail and charged more rent and utilities while being unable to get any kind of income while locked up. But still working for the prison cause if they refuse to work for 12 cents an hour its solitary confinement

55:24 This is ABSOLUTELY a major issue, especially in areas that do not have a lot of ambulances. I can tell you of multiple times when I was working as an EMT in a rual area where someone DIED because someone with a literal stubbed toe called an ambulance, and once they request to be taken to the hospital you are LEGALLY BOUND to do so. So because of these asshats, someone with an actual life threatening emergency could not get an ambulance for almost an hour because the person with a stubbed toe was in the only one in the area.

6:16 LOL This is just a win for retail workers who’s least favourite part of the job is dealing with customers. Just let a robot do it and they can hang out with their coworkers in the back making food and making jokes as loudly as they want.

as a child in the early 2000s cruises were fun but as an adult I see them as the giant mess they actually are.

6:50 This looks straight out of one of those city skylines videos where people try to make the most awful cities they can.

When I went to my first prenatal visit, they asked about my mental health history and my family's. I told them my brother struggled with depression and anxiety, and they billed my insurance $114 for it. They didn't do anything about it, not that they could....because it was my brother and not me..their patient. So confused and angry about that BS. They also let like 4 separate salesmen into my room two hours after I gave birth. I just wanted some damn tacos and sleep.

I remember one time me, my dad, and my brother completely blocked a stock checking robot. That was funny

teachers in tennessee are gonna have a major problem mentioning historical figures like: Emperor Julius Caeser, Emperor Hadrian, Emperor Elagabalus, literally every single spartan warrior, King Nicomedes of Bithynia, Sappho, Plato, Anne Lister, Alan turing, Frida Kahlo so on so forth. they are LITERALLY going to be writing letters to the parents every day like "yeah we're talking about the romans again. and im saying this because they straight up said "if an lgbt person/subject is even mentioned"

amazing way to start a Monday lmao

22:20, so we hit that point of Black Mirror!

It’s wild that we can have people who work 60 hours, in grueling conditions, while having someone breathe down their neck, and struggle to be able to afford basic needs, and we have people who say shit like “should go to college and get a real job” while i have your attention: it’s wild that for-profit companies own necessities, and if you can’t afford the price gouging, you’re lazy

19:56 it's a MTR station in Hong Kong, if you look up Tai Wai Station on Maps you can see "The Wall" which is the mall that goes alongside the tracks. In front of it was a construction site for the past years (Google Maps still shows it) where they removed one arm of the gigantic sidewalk leveled above the main street. Back before construction, one arm was directed straight forward to the station (along Mei Tin rd.) but now, it just leads into this mall. It is quite a maze to navigate sometimes but at least it has AC lmao.

At this point, someone has to and WILL take matters into their own hands... And when that happens its gonna be bloody and so, so glorious

With mini golf, the whole course is useful and where just of the skull comes in. With regular golf like 80% of the course will never be used unless someone REALLY messes up. That first swing in regular golf is just "All of this? Yeah this is just a bunch of wasted land and water. The only bit that matters is the green anyway, so long as i hit the ball hard enough in the general right direction 80% of this whole thing is pointless"

I remember seeing an ad for google implementing AI in fast food menus, and just seeing them spin it into a “it makes food so much better” pisses me off.

A lot of single mothers, even on food stamps, can't afford to feed one child in the States. It's even worse if she has chronic health issues, because the ACA didn't give us affordable care. If I am not making a low enough threshold to stay on medicaid my insurance is 700/month, for just me.. and I have to pay 2000 a month for my medication (after the discount) until I meat my 20k deducible. My medications? One that lets me walk and one for diabetes that I developed due to organ damage from anorexia developed during the time I just wasn't eating because my child's life was more important than my own. At the time the average income for women was 27,000 in my state. and the average rent was 20,000 a year before utilities. Yous till have to pay for power, water, sewer, trash removal, your phone, your car.. (because where I lived they WILL NOT hire you without a car.) Car insurance and the "Average work commute" was 36,000 miles a year. (Just over 56,936 km a year.) That was to get from an apartment with "Sort of affordable rent" to a job site and back.. an hour each way, minimum... That doesn't include daycare at 20,000 a year.. Turns out "Daycare assistance" doesn't always exist either... and the daycare they had approved for me had literally lost three toddlers the week before they finally approved it. One of them still hasn't been found 10 years later.

How the hell is a company allowed to still advertise soletying as half of a gallon when it is not 64 fl oz lol.

abt the Kia access thing( 5:17 ), it’s to remote start. My kia didn’t even come w a fob, so I have to manually unlock and lock my car at said car every single time. It’s annoying, and I’ve considered paying for the sub so I have the option. It’s stupid. also iirc, you aren’t supposed to get your own fob installed cause I think it can void your warranty, which is even more stupid.
