I'm very close to this as well.

My coworker needed a heart implant that his doctor ordered but the fucking insurance company (read: NOT A FUCKING DOCTOR) says he didn't have a stroke yet so he doesn't qualify...

They literally fucking said "he needs to be almost dead or possibly already dead and then we'll consider it."

I want to burn that fucking place to the ground.

Yeah, we cannot let these random doctors, with decades of training, waste our share holders' generational wealth on some random person; just because said person might die. LOL, that would be ridiculous.

This is not a charity, because our lobbyist and investors worked very hard to eliminate all the charitable alternative, WITH YOUR MONEY BTW, LOL.

Honestly, I don't even know if this is /s... Because this is exactly what is currently happening...

Insurance companies are the worst, I can't believe that they're even a thing. You give them money just in case you need some in an emergency, and they do their very best not to give you anything. The entire business model is: "You give us money, and we keep it".

People were up in arms about "death panels" with government healthcare.

There are already death panels for the insurance companies, but they act in the dark and they're fiduciaries who are legally required to consider stockholder value over human life.

My mom was on a plan with someone pre-Obamacare where it was obvious their policy was to reject every claim they get. She said she had to dispute every single one before they'd consider paying. Not sure if Obamacare fixed it but she moved over to Kaiser P. which is EXPENSIVE but they do seem to take really good care of you, no questions asked (when you're in their system, of course).

Make him win a bet and claim it was a stroke of luck. Now that the conditions are met get him the transplant.

As the other user said, please don't rob yourself of the absolute joy that are Portal, and Portal2.

Oh boy, I envy you getting to enjoy the spectacle of Cave Johnson for the first time. For full effect play portal 2 (can’t remember if it’s coop or solo play so play both for good measure) or if you don’t have the time you can find a super cut of all of his recordings. I will explain no more because the written word has nothing on JK Simmons

[–] AngryCommieKender 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Solo play is where you find CJ for the first time.

[–] jopepa 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Does he have any recordings hidden in the co op mode? Its been like ten years but I remember laughing hysterically playing that with my dad so the memories kinda blend Glados’ nonsense with Cave’s

[–] AngryCommieKender 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

I couldn't tell you, I only got P2 last year, and have no one to play co-op with. I just know he showed up in the third game they made for VR

[–] jopepa 2 points 9 months ago

Did not know about portal VR, guess I’m heading back in for some testing

I'm going to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!

finally something truly heart warming as claimed

[–] EdibleFriend 52 points 9 months ago

Would it be so bad to see this in the news just once?

[–] [email protected] 31 points 9 months ago

Warms more than the heart

And then the rebuilding costs were all passed along to their customers.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 9 months ago

If only their insurance would cover it.

Be the change you want to see in society.

This is basically the plot of Leverage, and part of why it's such a good show.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago (3 children)

If only the would depict IT a tad more realistically... never seen a more hilarious hacking than in this show.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (2 children)

Clearly you haven't watched NCIS

NCIS 2 IDIOTS 1 KEYBOARD

[–] tourist 17 points 9 months ago (4 children)

The whole scene is just excellent.

https://youtu.be/u8qgehH3kEQ

So many details that can either give you an aneurysm or make you belly laugh.

[–] AnUnusualRelic 12 points 9 months ago

Apparently they purposely made their hacking scenes sillier to see how far they could go (I think they were in an informal contest with another show's writers). That scene is their masterpiece.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I love that character. I don't even know her name, but my mom watches NCIS on repeat, and sometimes I watch with her just for that character

She's such a mall punk

[–] Thermal_shocked 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

She's like 40 and dresses like that at work.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

...and other reasons I love this character

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Allegedly, NCIS and CIA had a sort of informal contest as to who could get away with the worst computer/technology scene. That's how this scene came about.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I love the part where they stop the hacking by pulling the monitor cable.

[–] evidences 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Nah they pulled the power cord not the monitor cable.

[–] LeafOnTheWind 7 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Power cord to a monitor. Not that it would matter if it was the PC power cable though since I kind of doubt they would have "the entire network" on one system

[–] evidences 1 points 9 months ago

I mean both cords look the same soooo, also as dumb as that scene is the whole point was the hackers were targeting her system not anything else so shutting off that one system was good enough

[–] Thermal_shocked 1 points 9 months ago

Dude she was getting hacked.

[–] Thermal_shocked 1 points 9 months ago

Watched Nerve last night. They said because the game is open source, then can just make changes, submit them,then use a botnet to vote the changes into effect to crash the game.... All within like 2 hours...

Probably a bit too heartwarming for their taste.
