Thank you <3 I feel for the people who don’t have time to waste on insurance denials who just have to eat the cost. Luckily I have time right now and I’m willing but it still blows.

I think something around 1% of denials in the US are appealed and then over 40% are overturned, but don’t quote me on those numbers. I’m remembering this from a video of a congressional hearing. Only 1% of people have that time…dystopian

I have had to argue with my insurance company, UHC, for a hospitalization that was 100% warranted. They kept me for 5 days and the docs tried to persuade me to stay for another but I was going stir crazy at that point because I felt better. I was dangerously sick and dehydrated when I went in with uncontrollable nausea and diarrhea and my heart rate at rest was 140, I was in agonizing pain, and I couldn’t walk. I had infusions running that entire time. How are they gonna tell me my hospitalization was unnecessary because some nursing notes said I was laying in bed comfortably? Yeah, because I was on oxycodone and getting better, dipshits.

I know I can win this argument but it’s going to require a ton of phone tag and talking to people who don’t know shit and escalating and that’ll easily be half of my Monday. So much productivity going to bullshit jobs that only exist to justify themselves.

I just had this conversation with my therapist where I said I don’t think that I’m necessarily depressed, but am being acted upon by the men who move only in dimly lit halls and determine my future for me, and I feel distant from others, and don’t do enough fun things. And she was like, yeah, probably.

They think it’s their friend and will defend it to the death

No rush but feel free to practice your English with me whenever! Good luck with your studies

I don’t believe that it was written by a human, but regardless, it’s a shitty way to speak

Haha please do, it’s gorgeous, I’m just being a grinch

Sure why not

I’m in the PNW but I’m contractually obligated to say it’s shit so people don’t keep moving here.

You’re speaking my language! I’m cuddling with my cat right now and planning a camping trip with a swimming hole for the weekend. Life ain’t so bad after all

You did make an argument. Idk how that isn’t evident to you. You’re being well ackshually rn.

It’s not even hard to plan a date. It’s pride month and the world cup and nice outside, the possibilities abound

I’ve send screenshots of a conversation to the person who sent the message. It happens

Thanks for getting it. I need to spend more time outdoors because it’s so distressing and me being miserable doesn’t help anyone.

It’s really hard for me to meet people when it’s like “what do you do” and I answer and they say “how is that” and I answer and then they ask where I’m from and then say it’s rainy.
I don’t think people hate small talk so much as they hate it when people are bad at small talk. A lot of awkward people will barrage you with questions and you don’t even get the opportunity to ask them the question back because they just keep peppering you.

Sure they could be a person. I think dolphins and elephants are people too. You are arguing in bad faith. You can’t tell if a human or AI wrote a press statement and that makes me sad.

Be more helpful in the future

Babe I have two eyes, two ears, and a heart that yearns for honesty and knowledge. I know people can sound robotic too, and there are corporate scripts, and autism is a factor, but good lord. If there was an alien wearing human-esque skin suit standing in front of you I don’t think you’d be able to tell it from an actual person and that’s just sad.

I was driving through western Washington near Idaho recently, scrolling through the radio to see what they had going on out there, and the song literally went “find you a girl who loves her daddy, and talkin bout babies makes her happy” likeeee cmon this is straight up Christian white nationalism dog-whistle, let us be honest with ourselves.

I love Lucinda Williams

How tf did I get downvoted for saying it sounds like AI bullshit? Who are these people who actually object to my assessment? I feel like I’m living in the upside down
