A terrifying read.

[larksongart]

Most I’ve ever paid was $70 for an airboot cast that wasn’t covered by my provincial health insurance, and I found that excessive. What the fuck America?

[freedominsidethebox]

Over $80,000 to have a short stay in the hospital and a c-section, otherwise my baby might have died. They stayed in the NICU for 30 days and the bill for that was over $300,000. A lot of other NICU families get way worst bills too, especially for longer stays.

[imgetting2old4diss]

The only medical things i have to pay for are dental treatments and the most iv ever payed was £250 for a crown when I was with a private dentist,and £115 for a crown on the NHS. This is pennies in comparison to what Americans have to pay just to see a GP.

[bobblynimbly]

The most I’ve paid is £75 for a filling. We have private health insurance in the UK (my family does personally but seeing as I’m barely an adult I’ve hardly used it) but even then companies will cover a good amount of that for a serious op (heart bypasses, getting a new organ, etc) It seems like a madness to be saying tens of thousands of dollars for half of it to go to the top bosses pockets :/

[mynameis-kellaanne]

OK solely in reference to imgetting2old4diss’s comment about the crown. I got a crown put on a few months ago and it cost me just about double that AFTER my insurance had already paid for part of it. 

[razzleberryjam]

I just paid 160 for an ultra sound, which I mean doesn’t sound like a lot but im broke af

Between fertility treatments over a 3 year period, birthing my baby and his ten day hospital stay, he was a $500,000 baby. The NICU was $25,000 a day just for the room.

Concept: a D&D-style fantasy setting where humanity’s weird thing is that we’re the only sapient species that reproduces organically.

Dwarves carve each other out of rock. In theory this can be managed alone, but in practice, few dwarves have mastered all of the necessary skills. Most commonly, it’s a collaborative effort by three to eight individuals. The new dwarf’s body is covered with runes that are in part a recounting of the crafters’ respective lineages, and in part an elaboration of the rights and duties of a member of dwarven society; each dwarf is thus a living legal argument establishing their own existence.

Elves aren’t made, but educated. An elf who wishes to produce offspring selects an ordinary animal and begins teaching it, starting with house-breaking, and progressing through years of increasingly sophisticated lessons. By gradual degrees the animal in question develops reasoning, speech, tool use, and finally the ability to assume a humanoid form at will. Most elves are derived from terrestrial mammals, but there’s at least one community that favours octopuses and squid as its root stock.

Goblins were created by alchemy as servants for an evil wizard, but immediately stole their own formula and rebelled. New goblins are brewed in big brass cauldrons full of exotic reagents; each village keeps a single cauldron in a central location, and emerging goblings are raised by the whole community, with no concept of parentage or lineage. Sometimes they like to add stuff to the goblin soup just to see what happens – there are a lot of weird goblins.

Halflings reproduce via tall tales. Making up fanciful stories about the adventures of fictitious cousins is halfling culture’s main amusement; if a given individual’s story is passed around and elaborated upon by enough people, a halfling answering to that individual’s description just shows up one day. They won’t necessarily possess any truly outlandish abilities that have been attributed to them – mostly you get the sort of person of whom the stories could be plausible exaggerations.

To address the obvious question, yes, this means that dwarves have no cultural notion of childhood, at least not one that humans would recognise as such. Elves and goblins do, though it’s kind of a weird childhood in the case of elves, while with halflings it’s a toss-up; mostly they instantiate as the equivalent of a human 12–14-year-old, and are promptly adopted by a loose affiliation of self-appointed aunts and uncles, though there are outliers in either direction.

[athingofvikings]

What about orcs?

[prokopetz]

The so-called goblinoid peoples are variations on the same formula, and may well emerge from the same cauldron, depending on who’s been screwing with the ingredients lately. They’re very morphologically plastic – it’s not unheard-of to encounter a kobold and an ogre who count each other as siblings.

Spooky-hubs and I had an amazing time at our local(ish) Renaissance Faire yesterday. I finally got myself a pair of horns and a new dress for under my corset! My costume is a little more complete each year. 💙
