WEST VIRGINIA MOTHER FUCKERS VIRGINIA ONLY HAS CIA NERDS

This reminds me of the time in my early teens when my mother described herself as a recreational drug user and I said "If I woke up, went kayaking, had breakfast, did another little quick kayak before getting ready. Got ready for work and had a quick kayak, went to work and then kayaked on my lunch break, kayaked on the way home, spent most of my afternoon kayaking, so much so that I forgot to pick my kids up from school until really late, and then went kayaking all night and had to kayak one last time before bed to sleep well, literally fucking nobody on this entire planet would describe me as a recreational kayaker." which she thought was hilarious, and to be honest kind of was.

She was good in other areas.

This only works on nightly though.

No doubt in my mind that I will. I was absolutely getting the itch for some new music to get me through automating tasks people told me can't be automated and not telling anyone so I can spend more of my work day studying. o7

Edit: Thanks again for all the fucking great mixes. If there's ever any way I can kick some dollars your way like donations or a platform where you take payments lmk and I'll see what I can do. I owe you at least one lunch with how much of my sanity you've saved helping me drown out the world.

The same one who spent the first hour or two of each LAN trying to convince each of their friends to stop playing random shit / playing by themselves while everyone is copying the game we were going to play in order to try and prevent finally getting to the last person and the first half of the people being "over it and wanting to play something else" only for the cycle to re-start.

Also the same one threatening all of the friends leeching random shit from each other that if they don't wait until at least most people have copied the game that they'll receive physical harm.

Also the same one that loves the bittorrent protocol almost as much for non internet reasons as they do for internet reasons. Hosting all the games we were going to play on a local tracker/seedbox at a LAN absolutely fucking changed the game entirely. That and getting a layer 3 switch and tagging/prioritizing torrent traffic over everything else.

But Cho Chang was super smart and a ravenclaw and focused on her studies! Just like a good model minority! You've also got the totally not problematic Seamus Finnigan who constantly explodes things... The banking... goblins... The totally happy slave elves... Uhm... You know... and some other stuff...

You know, for the longest time I was trying to convince a friend of mine who was really into LOTR to get "Speak Friend and Enter" in elvish right above his ass but he never went for it.

<3 Keep your head up comrade. As shitty as all the Tech Bros / STEMlords can be and as much as the backlash like this is (somewhat deservedly) also aimed at them I do wish it was easier to both celebrate their reality check while also not celebrating joblessness for anyone, as well as being careful about keeping structural critiques aimed at structures so it doesn't splash damage our comrades so much. It will bounce back, because our whole fucked up system is designed around that (only to crash again, yay) but I believe in you and it's not wrong to keep pushing even if, or especially when things look dire.

That being said, I do see why critiques of structures can be applied to those that uphold them and I know it's not the intent of anyone here to do either of the two negative things I mentioned so this isn't some kind of scold post for OP or anything, just that I empathize.

Hi, is this where I'm supposed to go for the Antinatalist struggle session?

While policing definitely selects for already shit people, if you want to argue the case that cops at no point ever had any ideas about helping people only to be harassed by their peers and bosses, have their spirits crushed and be propagandized into conforming with the structural racist and class wafare mission of "policing" in the United States, go right ahead... or you can realize that that's the EXACT same situation pharmacists are in. They're literally trained to uphold the exact same racist and class based order, and police people away from assistance (medicatIon, in this case) that cops do with access to so many other rights.

I'm sure plenty of pharmacists do want to help people, and I'm plenty aware that the the structure that controls them keeps them on an extremely tight leash about who that help can go to. Just like cops. The reason people say ACAB and "good cops quit" is precisely because they know there's occasionally good people who wind up in the line of work who immediately realize how fucked it is and try and fix it only to get their lives ruined or wind up dead themselves, or be forced to quit.

None of this is even to defend cops, it's to illustrate that every single argument you've made for pharmacists is true of cops too, as well as almost every single other profession, and that when the pharmacist accusing you of selling drugs because you're an adult with ADHD, or asking "why you need so many" or "this is an odd dose" or all the other shit they literally should take up with a doctor but won't because they'll get sat the fuck down immediately, so they instead harass the patient, that they're not doing it because "they want to help people but their hands are tied." Maybe that was true at one point, but at that current point they're a fucking cop and fucking people over just because they can. When they "accidentally forget to order your prescription" that you've been getting the same dose of every month on the same date at the same place for 3+ years, month after month after month, they're not "trying their best, but just underpaid".

They're not special, they're not exceptions, they're not unique. They're in the exact same situation everyone else is, and it's perfectly fine to call them pieces of shit for acting like it.

Please just re-analyze a bit and think about it.

(P.S. I'm not saying when the companies who own these pharmacies etc push these policies they're always doing them out of an out and out conscious racist or class based purpose, but cops don't think they are either. It's all culture and "business policies" made by extremely normal ceo failsons and board members, handed down to be enforced by the poor against the poor, sanitized through industry appropriate language and coding. It just so happens that in policework being outwardly mask off racist is industry appropriate, because the "white" public literally supports it most of the time.)
