I think it’s so bright it overloaded the sensor, that fuckin rules

Thanks. I like the sound of that too

Thank you for your service and this lovely answer. Intent is for an adult to learn concurrently so I really dig what you wrote about judo. Think that’ll be Plan A, thanks again.

If you had to pick only one of those disciplines (due to time constraints) for an adolescent to learn, which would you recommend and why? Thanks in advance.

Well, fuck. Fuck him then, and thank you for the sunlight.

Also fuck me for being in denial apparently

Looking forward to the AvE teardown. His Juicero vid is very fumny IMO, if you can tolerate the western chauvinism and chud-coded language (going off memory, I haven’t watched in years).

He said he’d stop drinking but he never said he wouldn’t start parachuting oxy

this criminal is anything but smooth

Fuck it! It could hardly write prescriptions that are any less comprehensible than the horseshit often written by human providers. And… being a chatbot… it would be 10,000% more accessible than a human for when you have to yell at it for fucking up an order.

disclaimer: any hypothetical advantages over human providers described above only exist bc healthcare has already been enshittified to fuck in the US. a proper, functioning system wouldn’t be as vulnerable. and doubtless these models would introduce all kinds of new problems. source: am retired pharmacist who used to work in healthcare IT, an already terrifyingly precarious field where everything just barely works and any day without patient harm due to a system failure is a goddamn miracle

I’m going through a similar thing with alcohol and nic vapes. I finally convinced myself that continued personal growth was impossible (for me) if I couldn’t get a handle on them. I realized these things were a crutch and inhibiting me from living the life I wanted. And I finally refused to allow that any longer. I know it’s not the same as nicotine but alcohol was a huge part of my identity. But … so many aspects of my identity have already been discarded from my life… some withered away and some I had to intentionally destroy. Getting rid of one more is no big deal.

Perhaps you could search inside for a neglected part of your identity to tend to. That’s what I’m doing. Long-forgotten shoots are sprouting and it feels good to cultivate them instead of spending my precious time reinforcing the self-destructive parts of me. I know it’s easier said (and thought) than done. Best of luck.

PS - this is day 4 of no alcohol for me and while I’ve gone longer without it in the past, I’ve always kinda known I’d eventually drink again. This is the first time I’ve really felt like: if I never drink again that would suit me just fine.

I just realized Trump’s re-inauguration coincides with MLK Jr Day, the man who famously warned of the dangers of white moderates… the people whose feckless liberalism left wide open the door for Trump and the mask off fascists in the first place. Now they’ll be formally in control again, on the very day meant to honor the man who called it 62 years ago.

Read this and get jokerfied with me.

I’ll check it out, thanks for the rec

Will was extra insufferable in this one, truly a dogshit interviewer. I couldn’t finish it.

Hell fucking yeah, I saw documents flying around and got super excited thinking of the havoc one could wreak by destroying records of unjustly imprisoned and charged comrades. I personally would never, of course…

Charlie Brown, formal-operationally running at the football

hell yes, love you too and I long for the day when this evil system is just a terrible memory

Lol you’re all good, there was a time in my life when I used to get pissy when people would say that, and I’d go WELL AKCHUALLY and proceed to tell them at great length how they just don’t get it… super cringe shit tbh.

Corporate retail pharmacy is a fucking dumpster fire for all parties involved… patients are #1 but it sucks shit for providers and pharmacy staff too. Everyone except the C-suites and shareholders. No harm in pointing it out.

None taken.

Sorry you had to deal with this, and that your local indie shop is fucked too. Don’t know if it would help at all but next time consider asking if your provider would notate on the prescription “BRAND NAME MEDICALLY NECESSARY,” or since this is likely an electronic Rx, check the field for NO SUBSTITUTIONS to hedge against Walgreen’s system autosubbing for the generic. Depending on your state law (assuming you’re in US) there may be a different phrase or method for forcing the pharmacy to fill brand name.

Second, I didn’t come here to defend these guys or tell you not to trust your lying eyes. I’m just gonna paste what I wrote in the White House Pharmacy thread the other day. this was in response to someone asking how retail pharmacists aren’t just glorified pez dispensers:

more serious note though, the extent to which people unironically say this about pharmacy is a key example of how for-profit healthcare and capitalism in general has corrupted the profession IMO. medicine, just like all health care should be free for all and healthcare workers should treat people with dignity and respect and should themselves be able to work their profession with dignity… if it looks like the pharmacist is a useless gatekeeper just counting pills all day that’s because that’s the extent to which the profession has been degraded. there’s still important work being done behind the scenes but the amount of corporate BS far outweighs it. trust me most of them hate it too, even if they lack the awareness to see where the problem truly is. there are some scumbags but most of them know they should be making sure that people get the medicine they need safely, and not answering to CVS or Walgreens’ bottom lines.

I BROUGHT YOU THIS DELICIOUS ELOTE PLEASE YOU MUST TRY IT
