I wasn't talking about mine. Sounds like it's most likely UM that is discounting it, because it's my SOs poverty line patients who have benefited the most from access. Maybe Henry Ford is as well

Gotta say, maybe that is local because everyone I know in our age range if they wanted it, got it

I mean the irony being that the blood stuff is all stolen from Europeans. Lemme know how Orban is doing. Or Le Pen. Or Meloni. Or AfD. Or Spains attempts to deal with secession. Or northern Ireland.

The start of middle age should be when Paul Simon's "the obvious child" lyrics make sense

Nah. No issue with others having it, but never had the desire to permanently engrave my skin

what we’re gonna end up with is not a replacement for twitter but a silo farm where all the shitposters go to one place, the shitty posters go to another, the shitheads go nowhere, etc. and I think that’s fine, honestly

I would say irony escapes you

Every time someone talks about "generational trauma" now, it's so ahistorical to be self owning stupid. Yes, things can and do suck. But literally this is the best time to be alive, ever.

I think we should get together a small hive of city builders after it comes out and play "pass the save game" to see what monster we create
