Poking the ST hive mind, what are our thoughts on pet insurance? -- nm - znufrii, vice president Nov 7, 09:48 12
- As long as it includes dental, do it. -- nm - Spawn Nov 7, 10:11
- either get insurance, or put away that same amount in a separate pet account, forever, so if you need it years from now, it's there. -- nm* - Andie Nov 7, 10:00

- We did it with PetSmart / Banfield, and (thankfully) we didn't really use it. - JaxSean Nov 7, 09:53 2
  - I should have a wing at the pet hospital named after us at this point. If your pet does get sick, it's incredibly expensive. -- nm - pmb Nov 7, 09:54 1
    - yep, when they are older and start having issues it's crazy expensive. if you ensure all the way from when they are young, it helps later. -- nm - Andie Nov 7, 10:03

"New MrBeast charity tantrum just dropped" -- (link) - Beryllium Nov 7, 09:32 15
- I don't think I would like that writer much. - the wrong element Nov 7, 09:53 6
  - Agreed. He's trying to make something out of a few people not liking him or his charity work. This article should have been tossed in - Krusty Nov 7, 10:39 1
    - It's parasitic writing. He's trying to siphon clicks by writing about a whale. -- nm - David Nov 7, 10:53
  - I read a different critique last night. It was far more nuanced and probably right but not related at all to the backlash. Digging wells is easy - oblique Nov 7, 09:57 3

      - We took A. She was only interested in getting a sticker. -- nm - znufrii, vice president Nov 7, 09:48
      - Part of my sentimentality is due to going to vote with my mom and dad. -- nm - Dano Nov 7, 09:47 1
        
        same (tho now realize in hindsight he was voting for Ford and Reagan) -- nm - hollywood big shot Nov 7, 10:01

    - I thought I could, but no. it's just on the tip of my tongue. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 7, 09:27

  - Weird. The older I get, the more ageism I see. I hate it here too. -- nm - zunk takes things literally Nov 7, 09:19 3
    - You make a good point. The mental state of most 75 to 79 year olds is very suspect but not all. Do we let the 1 or 2 people who could do the job - Pippy the Lioness Nov 7, 09:51
    - It's not agist to believe that people in power should relinquish it at some point to a younger generation. -- nm - Qale Nov 7, 09:39 1
