I think "most tolerable" would be acceptable.

I went to a Dr for the first time in 3 years to have my shoulder looked at. Spent about an hour at the place, and saw the Dr for maybe 5 minutes. I ended up getting prescribed maximum daily dose of acetaminophen, and some steroids (cheap garden variety). All in it cost me 167 dollars, which was within my deductible, so after a month, I finally got a bill for the full amount. The 200 bucks a month for my insurance and it didn't cover shit (my employer pays most of it, but my contribution is still like 240 dollars a year).

Health insurance in the US is a racket.

It's not a judgement of Melania. It's a judgment of the type of guy who would have a nude model mail order bride as their 3rd trophy wife.

For a fair comparison, I need to see the chess program give me my grandma's family recipe for napalm.

There is an aquarium supply store near me that has an open-top mudskipper display with a tree in it. Those guys definitely can climb trees.

Having a favorite politician is weird, like having a favorite landlord. You should care about the policies and efficacy of your politician, and not really give a fuck beyond that, unless they are a rapist, serial drunk driver, or something like that.

I spent a week kayaking in a burning swamp full of alligators, and I can honestly say it was the best time of my life.

Shout-out to Stephen C Foster state park in GA.

Swamps are great. They're havens of biodiversity. Trump is the logging machine from Ferngully, and Stephen Miller is Hexus.

Oh...ohhhh I got some bad news for you...

Self-limiting system. As you black out, the circle gets looser, the Gs fall off, you wake up more, turn tighter, the Gs build again...

Well, we certainly aren't getting out of it in trump's lifetime.

Good time to mention my wife had State Farm when she was run off the road. We had the guy on dashcam with clear as day video of his face, and license plate. State Farm couldn't find the driver or the car, and said that we should just pay to have the wheels repaired (got curbed hard during the incident). The "repairs" were the same amount as the deductible. Then one of their reps let slip that they not only knew who the guy was, and who owned the car, but that he was covered with their insurance. So SF was pretending not to find they guy so they wouldn't have to pay our deductible... Shady as fuck.
