!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

As an American, that's been painfully obvious for like 70 years.
I mean the PC probably met their deductible in two days
Just don't have insurance. They come after you but after they get enough(~$1k) they'll leave you alone. My current dentist charges a max of $1k to people who are out of pocket. I got all 4 of my wisdom teeth out with conscience sedation for $1k flat. I worked in IT/DB at a dentist for a few years and people were paying $2-3k for the same with insurance.
I paid probably a ¼ of that in Germany. If even.
The sedation was probably more expensive than the removal (for me)
Also introduced me to concept of urban development by not having gigantic parking lots like real life America.
To be fair, GTA 5 is in a fictional version of LA, in a fictional California. California has state funded free medical insurance. Which is great for when you get shot in a drive-by or at school; just like the game!
