People Share 37 Things You Should Never Do In Their Country

My dad just scolded me because I was unwilling to put in 60+ hrs/week at a new salaried job by saying 'I've worked 70/hr since I was out of college!' Yeah dad, that's probably why you missed every important life event and smoke a juul at age 57

Person That Suffers From Allergy Went On A Date With A Cat Owner, Guy Caused A Scene When Told The Relationship Wasn’t Going To Work

If you're dating someone with the hopes of finding a long-term partner, it makes sense to rule out anyone you know that couldn't happen with. Otherwise you're getting attached to someone and will eventually have to grieve a breakup and then try again.

“History Defined”: 50 Important Photos That Shed A New Light On Our Past

It's only getting worse in the states - now they want us to smile as they strip away our reproductive rights, state by state. They want us to smile when we send our kids to school, like lambs to the slaughter. Meanwhile, they protect their right to bear arms like their world is going to implode if they don't own at least one assault rifle. It's not all men (and women), but it's just enough to make us nervous about our futures and the futures of our children and grandchildren.

What also sucks is there is absolutely nothing we can do to change it. Regular Americans have no real power or influence. Sadly I truly believe voting is an illusion and neither party has anyone's interest in mind but their own. I think that creating a battle over who gets to vote is a red herring for the fact that it doesn't really make a difference. No politician is actually trying to change the system because anyone who does gets booted from the system before they can make real change. No one in power who is getting wealthy on taxpayer dollar wants the system to change. But maybe that's just my pessimism from the past few years talking.

You realize you already pay for everyone regardless right?! Who do you think covers the millions of Americans who have to go to an ER but dont have insurance? You do when you're insurance charges you $80 for 1 Tylenol and a generic 1 at that. That pill cost them literally pennies. You pay high deductibles so people, who know medical terminology but nothing actually medical, can tell you NO when you need treatment and get denied by your insurer. National Healthcare would cap the billing. It would give options to people who have none. It would help people get preventative care & STAY HEALTHY vs only getting help when desperately ill. And it would ALL be cheaper per capita than it is now. If you havent seen that yet, not sure what else to show you

"Am I The Jerk For Telling My Boyfriend He Isn't Entitled To My Inheritance?"

I mean, i get supporting each other & all that but asking or expecting is a bit much on his end. Ive been married 15yrs. He makes more than me & has better credit (thank you Sallie Mae!) & we still try to do what we can to pay our bills & save. I dont (never have) expected him to pay my bills from before him & neither did he, even after we married. We recently purchased a house & its in his name, etc. Since i cant pay a mortgage, i cover the little things. Groceries, cable, things that come up for our kid, gas for my car, etc. We're looking into ways to add me to it but its more for the fact that he wanted to buy a house for all of us & if something were to happen to him, he wants to make sure we dont have a ton of hurdles to stay here. If he didnt agree w/ that, it would be his choice & im ok with that

Husband Is Always Late For Dinner Despite Having A Full Hour To Unwind After Work, Desperate Wife Snaps And Throws His Meal In The Trash

This is def a "pick & choose your battles" scenario for me. I do all the cooking. Its ready when its ready, no set time. Obviously i wait to cook until i know everyone will probably be home but its not a specific time. If you come great! If your busy, eat when your done. If i put i away before you get there, then you reheat what you want & are responsible for cleaning up your mess. Its not that hard.

Sadly, a bunch assume that since its not American/in America, that its subpar care. They dont want to hear that American doctors arent the best & that other countries have great care & drs too. They also assume that since it means paying more in taxes, its more expensive. Its been shown that it would essentially pay for itself in like 5yrs but they dont want to see that it'll still be less than their monthly deductible

People From Different Professions Are Sharing 30 Things That The General Public Has No Clue About

I get that completely BUT they have to, at least realize, that not everyone will see its humor the same way. I have an extremely dark sense of humor, to the point of being called out as "insensitive" at time even when not meaning to be. I wouldnt have appreciated the same way if my mom's dr handled her cancer that way. My mom, being WAY more sensitive than me definitely wouldnt have & would've reacted differently to that. Especially after her being an ex nurse & ex EMT. She spent yrs in jobs where it was well known that "you think/feel how you feel but you keep it to yourself or within your crew". No fault in getting it out of your system but you have to learn the time & place to release it

Buy your clothes from thrift stores and Savers. You have to invest a bit of time into this (try to work a few stores into your routine) and go frequently. I scan through racks quickly and ignore most stuff but focus on stuff that looks like it has never been worn / has original tags still on (you'd be surprised - this can be quite common). But don't buy junk just because it is cheap, buy only what you love and need, and buy only stuff that fits perfectly. I've also found nice coffee cups (original labels still stuck to the bottom) at Savers too. I also buy DVDs at thrift stores they can be very cheap.
