GooseFinger@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's your "American healthcare" story?141·7 months agoI transferred to a new college and learned the first week of class that they required a few vaccinations I was missing. No problem, the on campus health center can provide them. I confirm with them that they accept my insurance, so I go get the shots.
A few months later, I get a bill in the mail for over $3000. Apparently the health center wasn’t in-network, so I have no idea what they meant by “we accept your insurance.” I layer learned that if I had driven 10 minutes west across the state border, there was an in-network office where those two vaccinations would’ve been completely covered.
I still haven’t paid a penny towards that bill, fuck them. I get daily phone calls from an unknown number, it’s probably collections, but I don’t know for sure since I never answer it. This was years ago and my credit score never took a hit. I’d rather die than reward these parasites with my money.
I’m pretty sure I have a tumor growing on my hip too. I’d get it checked, but between student loans, insane cost of living, and rising costs of literally everything else, I can’t afford to right now. I’m a childless engineer with “great” health insurance and a roommate, so I’m relatively well off. I have no idea why shit hasn’t boiled over yet. Makes me want to depose some CEOs too.
Right, BattleEye is hit or miss depending on the game developer.
Another significant drawback I have is OBS compatibility. It technically works, but just having it open drops my framerate by ~30%, and having it record drops it by ~50%. I haven’t found a fix for it yet, so I’m effectively unable to stream or record gameplay on Linux. The same settings used in Windows hardly impacts my framerate.
I’ll continue using Linux, but I haven’t deleted my Windows partition yet.
Seriously, from the bottom of my heart, fuck you Apple. Eat shit and die.

GooseFinger@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What technology purchase felt like a major upgrade in your life?1·9 months agoMy girlfriend and I are on a huge sourdough kick right now, and we’d love to start making it ourselves. Do you have a recipe you’d recommend? Any tips and tricks you’ve learned from experience?
GooseFinger@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•I give you 100 dollars (or the equivalent in your country) and you must spend it today all in a single thing. What do you pay/buy with it?4·1 year agoThese things are downright goofy. I tried to get one in IL, but they outright ban guns made from pot metal for some reason. Screw poor people I guess lol
Anybody have a mirror link? It’d be a shame if I accidentally downloaded it.
