Saturday Void Voidness Open Thread

This week was just so very…very.

It snowed here, I finally got my dishwasher replaced (fuck me, does going 2 weeks without a dishwasher reveal just how soft I am, even by WASP standards), did my annual “justify your existence” review, etc.

And today…fuck shit to look forward to.  At least with Dyche out, I can watch Toffees/Trashbirds, while I curse how fat and creaky I am trying to get in some exercise bike time (footy is perfect for that, no ads but your attention can drift a bit when needed).  Then…nothing.

Two games tomorrow, one solely on mute.  I think Birds/Bills would be kind of fun (those two fan bases put the “fun” back into “functional alcoholic” – turn ’em loose in the French Quarter!), so we’ll get the opposite.  Ugh.

Beyond that, really not much to be said.  Just waiting for the day that the Black Maria shows up at Hippo’s door.

Things I would do if I was a billionaire:

  • Quit my job and cancel my health insurance
  • Buy 2 or 3 awesome horses
  • Private jet, driver, chef, spa
  • Fully cover everyone for some kickass DFOCons
  • Swan boats for the magma chamber
  • MOAR HAMMOCKS

That’s about it

Unsurprised

U.S. tech oligarchs and the actual president of the United States spending time and energy doing crypto nonsense while China releases an AI that kicks our ass is such a perfect metaphor while also being literally what’s happening

Really considering getting rid of health insurance and just paying out of pocket

yeah right

Makes sense unless.

Doktor Zymm

The time savings alone would be worth it. The huge amount of time I’ve wasted over the past few months just trying to get a damn prescription for the exact same type of birth control I’ve been on for the past 20 years is really infuriating. If I have a big health issue before I’m eligible for medicare then I can either negotiate a cash rate with the medical side (they’re only really interested in ripping off the insurance, if they can’t do that they would much rather charge what you can pay) or just go into medical debt. It doesn’t go on your credit report anymore, and even if it did I’m not trying to get a new mortgage any time soon.

yeah right

Ok. Gotta ask.

Have you ever been to Andorra?

Doktor Zymm

Yeah, just 18 months or so ago. Bus ride from Barcelona, def worth hitting up for a couple days

ballsofsteelandfury

A trip to Andorra is a hell of a segue from medical debt…

yeah right

I would expect nothing less.

Was gonna offer a bottle of vino.

WCS

Lichtenstein, Luxembourg, and San Marino!

The Lowratio family of European countries.

May all of you who indulged in the holiday enjoyed the ball of Kerrymuir.
