I do. Unless it looks like an AIgen wall of text. Then nope.

I lived next to a little natural grocery for a few years. Prices were about 20% higher than the ordinary grocery and maybe double what I'd pay at Costco. At first I was resistant because they seemed to be overcharging so much. Overtime I talked to the employees and realized the savings I made on time and not needing a car more than made up for the higher price. Plus they had to keep prices high because shoplifting was very common.

I started figuring my time and car expenses into future shopping trips and now I don't mind paying a bit more for the local co-op.

I have never heard of someone seeing a psychiatrist or therapist and not getting any diagnosis at all.

I have twice. Two different therapists, after three sessions, told me I was well adjusted and experiencing normal emotional response to stressful events. One told me she saw no reason to schedule additional meetings. The other said I could keep visiting him but he couldn't bill insurance since there was no diagnosis.

That said, this story is unique among everyone I've ever spoken to about it.

What can I say. Your attempts at communication are too advanced for me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sounds more fun than my dumb antihistamines.

None of those are correct. There is before Harambe and after Harambe. The day he was killed everything changed.

Huh? I think you replied in the wrong thread.

Then there are those of us who are mostly taking drugs to calm down our immune system when god's green creatures are mating.

I imagine the woman in the profile picture posted this shortly after introducing her new 50 year old boyfriend to her parents.

Thank again, Japan is the size of California. This is rural Japan not a suberb. And even many of the actual suberbs in California don't have fiber to the home.

This is about monopolies running rampant and misuse of public money not about the technical feasibility.

Edit: These companies literally bought back their own stock to inflate their market cap instead of building out the infrastructure we funded.

😂 how does the fact that that average person doesn't use meth oppress anyone?

We determined this would be less expensive than the current system in the USA. More than half the jobs in "health care" are insurance related. We would completely eliminate that overhead. Insurance analysts could be retrained for useful work like nursing.

A single fraud investigator could monitor 100 doctors or more. Instead of each insurance claim needing to be reviewed by the practicing physician and an insurance company doctor we could have investigators watch for patterns and cite doctors who are overprescribing.

We had some knowledgeable people on the team so I think we were likely correct.

 
 

As a cis-dude I feel like this anime wants me to identify with another character but I keep seeing myself in Shizuka. I don't understands why but I kinda like it.
