"Hey uh. Vertin where did you go???"

Vertin:

The fact I'm also there is so fucking silly

Why is Emma as a character and/or novel as popular as P & P? I can't figure out...

Um, as far as I know it's not. Here is a random sampling of polls from Tumblr about this:

Pride & Prejudice wins every time, the only poll with P&P excluded, Persuasion won and that was a decent sample size.

And Reddit:

Facebook's search feature is actually worse than either of Tumblr or Reddit (shocking!), but I have seen multiple polls and questions and let me tell you, these results hold up for the entire fandom, the order of liking is this:

Pride & Prejudice Persuasion Emma Sense & Sensibility Northanger Abbey/Mansfield Park

So no, it is not as popular as P&P, not by a long shot. Seems to be a solid third.

Also, many people hate Emma, the character. I meet very few people who hate Elizabeth. Emma is definitely not as popular as Elizabeth. I have seen polls of that too but it's harder to search.

I hope that answers your question 🙂

For the record, I just saw a post about someone complaining how people will hate Lae'zel but love Gale, and I feel like I should say it preemptively- I don't hate Lae'zel, or any other character for that matter. They're all great. Gale just happens to be just embarrassingly my type of character.

It's my curse, in a world full of interesting and novel character concepts I'm doomed to fall for the emotionally tortured, smart-mouthed mage with facial hair over and over again.

Ok so my kid had an ear infection, right? As kids often do.

The doctor scraped out a bit of earwax to have a better look inside.

I was sent a bill for $200 PER EAR for this 5 second procedure which I did not give permission for them to do.

That was key- they did not ASK me if they could do this "procedure". And, as I OWN a medical practice (it's me. The medical practice is me, sitting in my house on video calls) I knew to call them when this bill came in to be like "You did not obtain informed consent for this procedure, and it was not en emergency procedure. You had full ability to gain my consent and didn't. I'm not paying."

And the massive hospital who owned the bill said "yuh-huh you do have to pay."

And I said "I own a practice. I know these laws. I do not owe you money for this."

And they conducted an "internal review" and SURPRISE! Decided I totally owed them money and they had never done anything wrong ever.

And so I called my state's Attorney General office, and explained the situation because, as I mentioned, I know the law. The AG got in touch within a couple days to say they were taking the case and would send the massive hospital conglomerate a knock it off, guys letter.

Lo and Behold, today I have a letter where said hospital graciously has agreed to forfeit the payment.

"How not to get screwed over by companies" should be part of civics class.

Know your rights and know who to call when they're infringed on. This whole process cost me $0 and honestly less effort than I would have expected.

May this knowledge find its way to someone else who can use it.

Doctors should snark at each other more, be a bit mean. Not for no reason, mind you. But if five doctors blow me off about symptoms and doctor number six FINALLY runs actual tests and gets a diagnosis, I think it should be Doctor Six's right to call up the other five and tell them they're lazy pieces of shit. That should be socially encouraged. Those first five doctors clearly can't listen to patients, but maybe another doctor might finally get to them.
