I united the Holy Roman Empire in Europa Universalis IV just in time for the election. \o/ Haven't done that since the Art of War expansion.
I did luck box into about the earliest Hungarian personal union you can possibly get to help me prevent northern Italy from leaving the empire, which helped a lot. Also Spain got a Habsburg on the throne (staying friendly with me) and with England helped smack France and keep them contained.
Gotta wake up at like 6 AM tomorrow to vote early. Zzz.

I am awake because of irritable bowel syndrome. I am stuck wandering around while standing up because if I sit or lie down to sleep I get pain that literally screws with my basic motor skills and my ability to think. Fgshsjxjcjf. First time I have had it in maybe a year.
Time to see if I can lie down again.
Actually, wait a second, i have hives now. Probably a Food allergy? Could my body just please let me sleep tonight? So itchy...

The point of the US Politics Thread is to keep the shittiness of US politics discussion to a part of TL that no one else has to look at. We should do South African politics! It's like US politics black brother :D We even have our own Trump but he's not rich. Zuma decided to take a trip to Zim amid getting his ass handed to him. Truly an amazing president.

Alternatively, you could get a dog.
Less work, less money, more reciprocated appreciation and less commitment.

If you have decent insurance it shouldn't be too bad. Complications/incidents are the expensive part in my experience.
Dogs are a good first step to being a parent.

Dogs are a good first step to being a parent. I want to do some sort of rant here but I don't even know what I'd say or why I'd be ranting in the first place. Basically Req if you have any questions feel free to ask me, and I'm sure mordek would be glad to help out in any way as well.
I wouldn't say there's a massive wealth of experience between the two of us but we have each gone through some stuff and we have some idea of what we're doing.

You know, I don't think I've ever really played as Austria (or England/France) in EU4. Spent too much time playing EU3 so basically only play minors lol.

I don't really know what "too much" is for this sort of thing. And it's not like insurance companies make it easy to figure out how much you're actually paying... I know how much my max out of pocket is per year and I know how much I'll often pay per visit so I have an idea but it's awfully frustrating to try and budget for it. I'm just assuming we'll hit that max between planning, precare, delivery, and postpartum care.
Now finding a new home and buying all the baby shit, on the other hand...

It doesn't help that hospitals bend over backward to not give you a general quote beforehand.

Do you guys have a primary care physician and do they perform deliveries? If memory serves they told us roughly what the whole pre-care appts would cost.Things might be a little different for you in the big city though.

She has a primary care, but idk what they're like. I don't actually have one but I guess I should get one or just use hers.

dont really know how it is in murrica, but here in socialist europe best advice is to talk about abortions beforehand.
if you wouldn't do em, saves you a lot of time, money and sanity invested in check-ups if you're for abortions (or just against potatos), shit outta luck

So if you're specifically looking for insurance and hospital visit stuff, I can't really offer much because everything in Canada is freeeeeeeeee (except a private hospital room but that's nothing)
In terms of buying baby stuff though, BE CAREFUL. The baby business is an industry, and companies make money from preying on young/new parents' insecurities and necessities.
There are some things you'll need to spend a few hundred on like a carseat, but for a stroller for example, the 'brand name' ones can cost upwards of 1k,depending on what features you're looking for when you can always get away with much less.

I wouldn't call it free.
We pay quite handsomly for it, just it comes off our paycheck instead of a lumpsum when shit hits the fan.
If I lived in the states I personally would have saved heaps of money on Healthcare.
Not that I don't like our health care, I just think saying it's free is a misnomer.
