@vicarophelia@shlorp At best “visual literacy” is more fitting than “media literacy” in this situation. Your “literacy literacy” needs some work lmao. If you and your friends saw this tat in person and one said “damn why’d they use red ink” would you say they have no media literacy or no common sense
@vicarophelia@shlorp Right, and none of those forms of literacy have anything to do with how people should know that getting a tattoo makes the surrounding skin red. That’s not media literacy, that’s just common sense. At this point, you’re helpless.
@vicarophelia@shlorp Media literacy has to do with identifying clickbait and the ability to recognize when news organizations (you know, the MEDIA) are intentionally misconstruing articles to fit a certain narrative or intentionally leaving out key elements. Nothing to do with tattoos making skin red
@JenPrimalCoach@xwanyex LOL maybe if you’re insuring an entire family, sure. But definitely not for insuring just yourself, which is what we’re talking about here.
@AeonCoin@JenPrimalCoach@xwanyex I am a single man nearing 30 and the most expensive premium I’ve ever paid with a zero deductible was around $700-$800. $3000 is ridiculous, maybe if you’re insuring an entire family it’s that much, but certainly not for one single person, which is what I’m talking about here.
Do billionaires ever have to use the shitty ai chatbots they’ve made so commonplace for everything? They’re such a useless middleman it’s ridiculous, 99% of the time you just end up screaming LET ME SPEAK TO A HUMAN REPRESENTATIVE. Absolute time wasters.
@KunstGabriel@pudgenet@memecrashes They don’t have to hope the insurance they chose leaves them with huge out of pocket costs, because they can clearly read the terms of their insurance before they sign up for it and start paying the premiums. Out of pocket, co pay, yearly max costs are all listed front and center
@JenPrimalCoach@xwanyex If you’re middle class and living within your means you absolutely should be able to afford a $300/month premium. I’m self employed, nowhere near close to middle class status, and manage just fine.
@jt9221@snottychode@pudgenet@memecrashes LOL good luck being poor and getting cancer treatment with no health insurance. Emergency rooms are only required to stabilize you if you show up on their steps dying, you’re not getting chemo or an organ transplant without paying upfront or having insurance.
@pudgenet@KunstGabriel@memecrashes It’s literally not tied to employment. During open enrollment you can chose whichever healthcare provider you’d like. Just because you chose the insurance your employer offers doesn’t mean you HAD to. Do you think self employed people are incapable of purchasing health insurance?
The reason white people age so poorly is because they do things like vacation in Las Vegas and don’t bother wearing sunscreen. Everyone here is bright red.
@nickimdollage@Destiny84167190 I actually did. I think you should as well. The 19x suicide rate Nicki refers to comes from a study done on people who had sex reassignment surgery, ie. Phalloplasties and vaginoplasties, which children ARENT having. Trans teens mostly want access to hormone blockers.
@PirjakD@tenslein@J_C_Lovecraft@mikitaposts Are you under the assumption that they remove the nerve endings in your penis when they remove your prostate? Lol, that isn’t the case at all.
