Certain words can change your brain forever and ever so you do have to be very careful about it.
a piece of media that is bad: mundane. effectless
a piece of media that is bad but had the potential to be so so good: unbearable. agonizing. soul crushing even
idk when we decided that explaining yourself shouldn't be part of an apology but like. if someone was a dick to me and apologizes but I still don't understand why they did it I'm not gonna feel any better

I’m seeing a bunch of posts that make me think most USAmericans don’t know about The No Surprises Act.
It was passed in 2021 (thank you Biden) and essentially states that if you don’t have insurance or your insurance doesn’t cover a service you need (or want) you are entitled to a Good Faith Estimate of the cost of care. (If your insurance does cover the service, you should be able to estimate the cost of care based on your deductible and co-pay.)
As a healthcare provider who does not accept any insurance, I am very careful to not violate The No Surprises Act. Why? Because for every penny more than $400 that the Good Faith Estimate was “off” (or if it wasn’t provided), you are entitled to a refund for that amount.
Y’all. Ask for a Good Faith Estimate. Get it in writing. Compare it to what you are paying. If you are not provided an estimate or if it’s wrong by more than $400, demand a refund.

Caption: [ (laughing) I don’t have unrealistic expectations. All I’m trying to say, is when will a gorgeous couple who are widely rumored to be vampires invite me to their formerly beautiful mansion now in a state of disrepair? And serve a lavish meal that they barely pick at while they sip on dry red wine? And then trade compliments with me borderline salaciously. And then it starts to rain and one of them goes, “It’s getting very late. You really must stay for the night”. And I do! Stay for the night. And if the implication isn’t clear, I then- I then get railed.]
