I have an extremely awesome Doctor. I'm going to tell you about him.

He's an old country doctor who decided to move back to civilization to be close to his grandchildren before he dies. He doesn't accept any insurance, he charges $40 for an office visit, he has a deal worked out with a lab to give his patients extremely reasonable lab fees (for MOST lab work he can charge $30), he was a young doctor in vietnam, he's old and experienced enough to know how to do things without a lot of bells and whistles and very very conservatively, he tries his best to only prescribe generic medications (if any at all if he can avoid it because he despises what the pharmaceutical companies have become), for the $40 which comes out of your pocket - he will not overbook his schedule and spend a significant amount of time with you so you can both understand your health and your lifestyle and how those are related, if you are very sick and do not have $40 or can not afford any needed lab work - he will do what he can to work with you.

I asked him once about his odd practices and he guffawed at me and said that the insurance companies "dick me over first, so they can dick him over next". apparently, he thinks making an industry gambling on whether or not people will get ill is a terrible scam and then making the gambler, the bookie is a fucking fraud. he thinks socialized medicine won't work in this country, not because it's inherently evil but because "the people who make the plans don't do shit but give rimjobs to the people who have all the money, and the people who have all the money are only concerned with getting more of it".

so i kind of think this is an excellent way of doing things. i know it's a libertarian way of doing things. and doesn't help me if i need to go to the hospital. but if i can afford preventative care, have a physician to talk to me like i'm a human being about my lifestyle how to control it and how that translates into good health, and i can afford to go to the doctor when i get sick instead of letting it turn into pneumonia, then my chances of needing the hospital drop dramatically.

in short, i fucking looooove this man. i think he should teach med school and imbue his students with his experience, confidence, reason and utter lack of greed.

people that don't like wow are people that can see that wow is just a grind.

I can fully understand people that play wow casualy , and play it as you would play anny other game thats totaly fine , just going online doing some quests with mates maby spending 1 hour a night (or how many hours u normally spend on games) , or cuple hours a week thats fine and there are manny people that do play wow like that.


but the vast majority of people that play wow are deluded into this false sense of productivity , its like a cancer.

thats why the mechanics are bad its gr8 in a comercail sense , but in terms of game play its utter shit ( aside for people that are able to believe they are been productive)


its analogous to gambling ,in my opinion its fine for people to gamble every now and again and can be quite enjoyable despite the fact that pure gambling (slot machines bookies ect fixed odds betting) is rigged and you are going to lose , you can still find the enjoyment in it , its when people fall for the trap of thinking its a profitable thing , and get sucked into the emotional aspect of it.

Yeah, it kinda sucks because the title doesn't really sell it. It implies I care who Scott Pilgrim is and hopes I don't assume it's some teen angsty drama about how zits are ruining some shy kids chance at making something of himself.

Luckily I clicked and it is definitely not that. Serious fighting game/comic booky nerd cred going on here! Daddy rike!

The bookies in Vegas just perked up.

Oh guy richie, I cannot but help wonder what horrors you've seen in your life...

All. Bets. Are. Off.

Witnesses reported seeing anti-Castro bookies prior to the fight...

Fletch and Quantumushroom should hang out.
