New Moonfire Faire disappointing glamour

[Iscah]

But that would equal to making 4 glamours instead of 2.

No it isn't. I'm not asking for everything else to be duplicated – the other pieces aren't really different anyway, besides the necessity of men's vs women's shirts (so it actually is gendered versions of a single top, whereas the bottoms are very different items).

All I want different is a second option for legwear – and I don't think there's that much extra model to build for those anyway. They'll already have a model for women's pants and men's briefs that they can add the pattern to.

and everyone knows that. Or would you prefer medical bankruptcy?

You’d be surprised how many Americans I met, either online or over here as transfer students think it’s free. My point nothing is free including healthcare paid by taxpayers.

I'll remember that when I'm looking at my next doctor's bill, despite also paying taxes.

US tax rate is much, MUCH lower than ours here.

You want subsidized health care (that's what the Nordics have, it's not free) start paying half your income in taxes for it.

I wouldn't want the government handling my health care in the US anyway. Have you SEEN how they run VA health??

On top of it, the quality of care and wait times here are BS. Six month wait for a hearing appointment for hearing aids. SIX MONTHS.

But we're off topic.

I\\'d prefer US quality care, personally.

Still praying for a day when swimsuit bottoms are no longer gender locked so females can actually have swim shorts/trunks and males can have more silly speedo options.

So, are ignoring how much we also pay for health insurance? Which can then refuse to cover things for arbitrary reason?

I've had a cavity in one of my molars for eight months. It could've been a simple filling and crown, but my insurance has been waffling on it. Now it's a root canal, and it still took two months after that diagnosis to get an appointment. And my insurance is still making me foot a good chunk of the bill. And I actually have good dental coverage, otherwise I'd be responsible for the entire bill.

Hempen pantalettes?

Have you seen those new moonfire faire glamour items? Do they look familiar to you? Because they sure do look familiar to me!

Yeah, I think I saw them on a billboard in Texas.



I quite like the Moonfire outfit, i'd just like the option of choosing shorts or bikini bottoms.

I pay way more in insurance premiums deducted from my paycheck than I would for additional taxes under pretty much any proposed Medicare For All plan (which is what they have to call single-payer advocacy here to avoid being called commies) and have to deal with fighting the insurance company to cover something as simple as a broken arm.

I\\'d prefer US quality care, personally.

HA! "US quality care" only exists for the obscenely wealthy. The rest of us are called "drug seekers" for asking for anything that actually impacts pain and doesn't destroy your liver (did you know that Tylenol/Aceitaminophen/Paracetamol has a maximum lifetime dosage?)

Meanwhile in Japan I made an appointment to get my 4 wisdom teeth removed in a matter of weeks, and when they realized I wouldn’t be able to work for a week, I got compensated for that.

Rather than pay for anything, I was given about 1,000 USD. And my taxes aren’t THAT bad, rather big companies pay their fair share.

It’s the weirdest story ever when talking to my American family “I tell y’all bout the time they PAID ME to remove my teeth!?”
