There's a thread on AskReddit asking, "People who have had to drain their life’s savings on a single event, what happened?"
99% of the answers are depressing American stories about medical bills, 1% is an Australian who found a wombat burrowing under their house.

I’ve talked about it a lot but Discworld made me a better person and that’s a big reason I’m such an evangelist for it
there is a lot of stuff you can read as a teenager that will set you on a particular path, much of it bad
Discworld will teach you to care about people

Coincidentally, I was 14 in 1998 when I first discovered Discworld (and Mystery Science Theater 3000), and both saved my life & changed me for the better.
I had been introduced to LoTR even earlier than by both of my parents.

it's pretty wild how throughout all of history nobody who has ever decided to argue that "actually a little bigotry is okay" ends up looking like one of the good guys and yet people are still lining up left and right for the opportunity to do so in the paper of record

Very upset about all these self-diagnosed people taking away all the resources that exist for people with diagnoses... such as:
<RESOURCES NOT FOUND>
All because they find that implementing strategies and finding community makes their lives better.

this is why - like prisons - the profit motive has no business anywhere near health care decisions
the monstrous cruelty unleashed by the desire for “line go up” has no bounds

Acadia Healthcare, one of the largest chains of psychiatric hospitals in the U.S., is holding people against their will to maximize insurance payouts, a New York Times investigation found. It has detained patients even when it was not medically necessary.

If only death
Was a skeleton with a scythe
a long black robe,
And a travel game of chess.
An opponent to best,
Not an unavoidable end.
You can't escape a slip into darkness
But you can smash chess board through a skull.

Martin Phillips used to come into a store I used to work at and ask me to help him with his phone. He never once bought anything from me. I didn't mind, I wasn't on commission. It was just a weird feeling to help such an Aotearoa music legend.

I don't believe in Bigfoot, but the next time someone says "If it's real, why is there no good footage of it when we've got 4K cameras in our pocket" I'm going to make them use their phone camera to film me walking briskly through a forest 100 metres away. Good fucking luck.

If Igon can crawl up a mountain with his arms and legs each a bloody ruin, you can make it through today.
Just curse Bayle with all your heart, and riddle the holes in the rotten hide of today with hail of harpoons with every last drop of your being. You've got this.
