My oldest son's car needed some repairs and would be in the shop for a while

My daughter was about to turn 16, so we got her a car. Nothing fancy, just a good first car.

A non-smoker car because she has cystic fibrosis, always has.

My son borrows the car, which was no problem because no one was driving it yet.

He calls me a couple of weeks later to tell me the car won't start. I loaded up my tools and went to find out the problem. It was just the battery. Easy fix.

What is not an easy fix is his having smoked like a chimney in his sister's car. The center console was used as an ashtray, completely full of butts and ash

My daughter can't be around smokers, can't touch the clothing of someone who has been smoking. Back when she was a baby, if I had a cigar outdoors I had to take a shower and change my clothes before I could safely hold her.

I can fix a battery, I can't reupholster a Ford Focus. I cannot replace the headliner and the carpet and the seat belt and completely rip out the heating and air conditioning full of ash that she would be breathing

The fucking audacity to smoke in a car that isn't even yours boggles my mind

ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU KNOW YOUR SISTER HAS CYSTIC FIBROSIS

I can't even consider smoking in a car to begin with, it just wrecks the cars value and makes it smell like ass forever

I sure as hell couldn't smoke in a non-smoking car that belonged to someone else

But he smoked in a non-smoking car that belongs to his sister with cystic fibrosis

On top of that, his brother also has cystic fibrosis and it's highly likely he would have also ridden in this car

Some matches are great, it'll be a constant back and forth battle to the end.

But other matches, I'm getting instantly sniped out of the sky and can't even land after respawning

Opponent accuracy and movement becomes impossible to match. Not just one or two players either, it's seemingly everyone.

I'm on PS5 with controller but it feels like I'm landing in a PC match where it's mostly only mouse and keyboard players or a bot match with the skill level maxed out where I'm getting shot from crazy long distances with high accuracy while using automatic weapons

Is there a way to opt out of these kinds of matches?

We have two children with cystic fibrosis, they are being treated with kaleideco and trikafta for years.

After changing jobs to what was supposed to be better benefits we are now being told that our insurance doesn't cover their medication.

It's the best plan my employer offers and it doesn't cover medications our old insurance did cover.

Going back to my old job doesn't seem like an option. We have appealed the denial, but is there anything else we can do?

We have the best dental coverage we can get plus medicaid for our son. Even with that, just 3 fillings at the dentist set us back $300

WHAT. THE. FUCK.

God forbid he ever has any major tooth issues
