Ok so my kid had an ear infection, right? As kids often do.

The doctor scraped out a bit of earwax to have a better look inside.

I was sent a bill for $200 PER EAR for this 5 second procedure which I did not give permission for them to do.

That was key- they did not ASK me if they could do this "procedure". And, as I OWN a medical practice (it's me. The medical practice is me, sitting in my house on video calls) I knew to call them when this bill came in to be like "You did not obtain informed consent for this procedure, and it was not en emergency procedure. You had full ability to gain my consent and didn't. I'm not paying."

And the massive hospital who owned the bill said "yuh-huh you do have to pay."

And I said "I own a practice. I know these laws. I do not owe you money for this."

And they conducted an "internal review" and SURPRISE! Decided I totally owed them money and they had never done anything wrong ever.

And so I called my state's Attorney General office, and explained the situation because, as I mentioned, I know the law. The AG got in touch within a couple days to say they were taking the case and would send the massive hospital conglomerate a knock it off, guys letter.

Lo and Behold, today I have a letter where said hospital graciously has agreed to forfeit the payment.

"How not to get screwed over by companies" should be part of civics class.

Know your rights and know who to call when they're infringed on. This whole process cost me $0 and honestly less effort than I would have expected.

May this knowledge find its way to someone else who can use it.

Question #2! How do you know each other?

fucked up how colors look different depending on what screen you’re looking at them on. that should be illegal I think

in my most recent game of team defense fort 2 i was banned from a 24/7 hightower pony rp server for screaming ‘incoming gamer!’ into my mic every time i respawned or charged as demoman. and i have to say, nothing really prepares you for the sensation of hearing a grown man say with no hint of irony in his voice, ‘mr sex goblin, if you dont stop saying that im banning you from ponyville forever’

hello tumblr my fantastic friend @gumiboomy gifted me a model of my oc Tau i have done nothing but blender for the past few days

here’s an animation i’ve made with her

You can get and use this model for free on gumi’s kofi just show me and/or gumi whenever you do something cool with it

In New Horizons, if the game can't load an NPC due to their referenced model name being invalid, or for other reasons, the game will instead load a naked, unnamed Bob in their place as a failsafe. This was likely a dummy NPC used for testing reasons.

being a fan of popular characters in media is hilarious cause you'll see them reduced to a personality trait that they don't even have. neoflanderization

[vesperkruger]

the characters in your most recent artpiece are really cool.. are they attached to one of the stories you're working on in your carrd? im really curious about the 3 of them?

yes!! i do hope to do more for their stories + other ocs one day

my lore is very scattered and not written down well, but i hope this provides some backstory for beings known as "wraiths"

the three at the bottom correspond to the art in order ^u^
