The Most Infuriating Thing About the American Healthcare System

This past Saturday on June 27th, I began to have pain stabbing me in my left breast. Now, I've had two kids naturally so I have fairly high pain tolerance, but this pain brought me in a doubled-over position, crying, and nauseated. I had never experienced pain like this before especially somewhere like my breast. I was talking to my mom who is an LPN and it was recommended that I go to my local hospital, which I was going to just write off the pain and ignore it because that's just how I am. I live with chronic pain in most of my body so I wasn't going to do anything but maybe lay down. However, the pain didn't stop, it turned into this horrific burning like my breast was on fire. I couldn't really breathe cause it hurt like nothing I'd ever felt. I decided it was best I go to the hospital since the pain wouldn't go away and it started with me just sitting down.  Normally in this instance, I would've gone to my state's top hospital, but I live 40 min...

Sims 2 Super Sim Challenge Rules

On my YouTube channel, I started to do a Sims 2: Super Sim Challenge. I haven't seen one that has been done on YouTube, but truthfully I haven't really looked, so here are my rules that I've made up for it. Rules:  You must master 5 careers. (I'm not doing all of them because it's super easy to lose your job) You have to complete your main aspiration, as well as a secondary should you choose to take one.  You must have 2,000,000 simoleons in your household funds.  All skills must be mastered. Your sim has to be married.  You must have a business with 1,000,000 in profit* *This only applies if you actually have the "Open for Business" expansion pack.  If you'd like to check out my YouTube channel and see how I'm doing the challenge, feel free to look here:  ZachMartinGames . 

The "Joker" Movie and Why I Found It Awful.

I'm going to start this off by congratulating Joaquin Phoenix on his Oscar win last night. Although what I'm about to type is a negative opinion on the movie, he still deserved his win and I think he is a wonderful actor for what he could accomplish within the movie. Please keep in mind everything that I write is subjective and if you enjoyed the movie then that is all that matters. I do have a few points to touch on as I go, so I will be numbering them as I go down to keep things organized. This will contain spoilers so please refrain from reading if you don't want it spoiled.  1. In the movie, you see poor Arthur Fleck, he's a disadvantaged man with several mental health problems living in what one can assume is a poverty-stricken Gotham city. As the movie progresses you see people in poverty as "clowns" or even violent people. As someone that lives in a poverty-stricken city and is even in poverty themselves, I find the representation of people to be awfu...
