Been married ten years , and our finances are still split , and will remain that way . Much easier and better , IMO . <| sep |> yea , clan wars according to one of these recent event interviews is a LONG way off . Going to be one of the last if not THE last feature added to clans . If they ' re going to have captain respec only be possible with doubloons , should have a way to get 500 doubloons by earning them ingame another way besides waiting 2 . 5 years before they add that feature . I guess , to some people , it ' s okay to have a paywall between integral features . <| sep |> Watching Plugger at Moorabbin is the highlight of my existence <| sep |> Shit , I would . Get a couple hundred thousand dollar settlement out of a multibillion dollar insurance company that probably has spent years screwing people over ? Sign me up . I ' m a frugal person and decent investor anyway , I could live very comfortably with $ 250 k for several years . It can be tough to get a settlement though , believe me . Everyone talks about how lawsuit happy America is , but for every huge settlement you hear of you don ' t hear of the 10 , 000 other people who either got screwed or lost because the person was overexaggerating the damages . I was clotheslined by the neck off of my motorcycle in 2012 by a fallen telephone line support cable at 70 mph . After I got out of the hospital I immediately went and consulted with a few area attorneys . Shithole town , not many options , and literally no fierce motorcycle attorneys like in Florida . That accident cost me my job , my most prized possession I worked hundreds of overtime hours for , my financial future absolutely destroyed for many many years to come . No attorney would pursue the case . One offered , but he wanted cash upfront . Starting payment of $ 3000 , he said it would likely take 2 or 3 years ultimately amounting to $ 25000 to $ 30000 in lawyer fees . I obviously didn ' t have any money at all . People to this day are always like Why didn ' t you get a multimillion dollar lawsuit ? ! Lawyers will work for a percentage of the payout ! No , they won ' t . Every once in awhile people hear of a high profile case of some trash suing Walmart and winning because they slipped on a grape , but Walmart gets sued literally every single day and you never hear about that because their huge legal team fights them off . I had a friend who was always like Man I wish I could just get hit by a truck driver or something so I never have to work again . Lo and behold he was rear ended by a truck and hurt his back . Not that bad to cause lifelong damage , but he of course over exaggerated it as much as he possibly could to try and become a millionaire . His parents hired him a costly attorney and everything . The truck company ' s insurance settled just enough to cover the cost of his car and his medical bills , that ' s it . I would have been happy to just have my lost wages compensated for . My own motorcycle insurance covered the cost of the bike , of course my premiums will be forever higher now due to an accident that wasn ' t my fault at all .
