You better go in disguise.

Do it with your mouth full!

And probably cold, too.

I find both gross!

It's an older meme, sir, but it checks out.

Shit like this is why Lemmy feels like the old internet.

It's not fun when you give me permission!!

Thank you.

I've been doing TTRPGs since middle school and when Critical Role hit I was so frustrated with everyone trying to make games something you could sell! I don't want a curated experience. I want the kind of drama you can only get when the dice are impersonal and the players are just trying to survive!

Oysters were supposedly an aphrodisiac. They aren't but it's been one of those old wives' tales since before I was born.

This is the internet. No one cares if you know something or not. You don't have to be defensive about it.

My doctors office actually notified me that I'm on 2 medications that make me extra heat sensitive.

I appreciate it. This is a good reminder to folks to check.

Keep in mind that there are lots of people who know exactly what they need, but can't afford it.

The guy giving the presentation used the example of a pill that cures Hep C. They charge you $84,000 for the pills that will cure Hep C, but since there are cheaper meds that manage Hep C, insurance will cover only those.

By the way, making those cure pills with this system costs about $70. For the entire course of the medication.

The problem you're talking about (see a professional to get a proper diagnosis and treatment!) is perfectly valid and wise. But if I try a migraine medication, and it works, but after the trial I have to pay hundreds of dollars a pill?

Yo ho!

I can't really comment on the European experience though, so I said American, which I am, and which I am qualified to talk about.

Oh, also I have an exceedingly rare hereditary disease, so it feels like a certainty I'll need it for myself someday.

I believe every American knows someone whose life is made substantially worse because of a lack of access to healthcare.

I want to set this up and learn to use it. I want to keep it and maintain it and wait. Because I'll inevitably hear from someone that they can't afford their life-saving medication.

The New Text Document makes this.

That does not mean they do not have value.

Also I'm shocked we haven't seen a snake person come and argue they get depressed.

Recognizing your bias is remarkable and worth these upvotes!

I absolutely agree with you. But I did feel like it let me have my cake and eat it, too. It had a Thing-like quality- if what makes someone human is so ephemeral, that anyone could be a replicant... it added a quality for me.

I felt like we were meant to sympathize with Deckard. I certainly did, and I was a little girl when I first saw it! And when those same questions came turning back toward the person who was standing in for the audience, it really drove that point home, that in this world, even I could be a replicant. And at what point, then, did I have the right to arbitrate what is and is not life?

I love it both ways. But I am both extremely indecisive and bisexual so I guess this is no surprise.

Also I want to add even if you believe that those soldiers were victims of propaganda, they believed they were serving the country. They believed they were serving their fellow man. That counts in my book.

I lay the blame for why they died at the feet of the men and women responsible for their deployments, not at the feet of those who died believing in something bigger than themselves.
