  • I make over $150,000 a year and I live pay check to pay check because my son has autism level 2, speech delays, and other motor skills deficits. He has some sort of therapy every weekday. He’s 13, so we’ve been doing this for 11 years now. And every year it is a fight to get things paid for.

    This year my company switched insurance providers and the speech therapist that he has gone to for 6 years was suddenly out of network. So, I either pull him out and start over somewhere new or do what I did and pay $200 out of pocket every week. Which does not go towards our $13,000 deductible. Next year we’re switching again so I’m sure there will be something they won’t cover.

    I make too much money to get anything from the state, which seeing how I live in Texas, I’m not really sure I’d want their services. Come hell or high water we getting out of this state and if possible this country next year.



  • The writing for Endgame was lazy crap to just let them wrap things up with an epic battle. The second they introduced time travel and said, “okay, here are our specific rules we need to follow,” I just checked out. It was a lazy deus ex machina so they could just retcon all of the story lines and have the battle scenes. The battle was entertaining, but didn’t feel earned. If they done something with everyone being trapped in the soul-stone or in a parallel universe it would have been so much more interesting. Like if you had both universes working together to rejoin then an epic battle, but no, let’s just time travel and bring everyone back, but also let Tony keep his kid. It was just lazy.











  • Can you change the report for this one customer who has a nonstandard completely fucking stupid set up that none of your collection points account for and goes against the entire point of this report?

    Well, maybe not those exact words. It’s more like:

    • rep: customers XYZ doesn’t like what they see on the report
    • me: well tell them to clean up their shit and stop leaving orphaned systems in their environment
    • rep: well can’t you just exclude the orphaned ones
    • me: the point of the report is to help you clean up your environment. If they did that it would show improvement week over week until it got to the levels they want to see.
    • rep: they don’t want to do that, they just want them excluded from the report
    • me: no
