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.

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.

Yessss

I’m really looking forward to pulling this crap as I get older.

Particularly about Pokémon. I grew up with Pokémon. I’ve played every single main game (or at least one of the two that released!) I cannot wait to call them all Pikachu just to watch a kid squirm.

Should be butterfly pasta! We’ve been robbed!

I’m gonna add one I love trotting out from Oklahoma.

There’s a Miami, Oklahoma. It’s pronounced My-am-uh.

I’ve got about a billion from Oklahoma specifically.

I really do love convenience!

We claimed it is erasure first, and now here’s our flag.

I worked for Walmart in the mid 2000s.

It’s not classist. That place is a hellhole. There’s a reason so many people who work there are on food stamps.

It’s classist to be mad at people who live in food deserts and can’t shop elsewhere. It’s classist to be fine with the system that puts people in jobs that don’t actually support them. It’s classist to look down on folks who get stuck in those jobs. It’s not classist for someone to be unhappy that they got stuck in such a job.

Fuck Walmart.

(I worked there and was a CSM before being able to move to a better job in 2010.)

I would like to remind the assorted that the official final fantasy 9 guidebook left out massive chunks of useful information to encourage you to go online to their website.

It was a dark time.

Oh, no, I have a prescription for ADHD medication. I’ve just always been curious about whether I’d have that experience.

I haven’t done it by now and I’m pushing 40. Don’t you worry about me.

I have pretty crippling ADHD and I always wanted to try cocaine because of all the stories of ADHD folks trying it and feeling calm and normal.

Just curious to see if I have the same experience.

My Dad died almost 20 years ago and I went NC with my abusive mother at about the same time. I never knew my grandparents.

I wanted to add my data to the set, even if it doesn’t help much.

Anecdotally, I’m seeing a lot of parents with kids as old as 10 in carts at the grocery store, and those kids are sitting there staring at a tablet or a phone.

As young as 2, also.

It’s constant and nonstop and they don’t look up for anything.

I’m concerned.

Jesus, that’s good.

My new goal is to use this in casual conversation sometime this year

Mosquitoes.
