      I’ve had a certain person accused of a certain thing as my lock screen for about a year because of how much I hate it. Maybe we’re already maxed out and not the target audience for this.

        i posted it and i’m not the target audience… i’m experiencing it and doing everything in my power to prevent it from killing me.

        and as someone very ill living below the poverty line, i don’t have a lot of power.

        sharing this video is one thing i have the power to do, at least.

    I will double down on hating it more, fine fine!

    The only way I could hate it more is if I had to have surgery and the surgeon was going to be RFK Jr.

    Stuff like this makes me wonder, at what point is it bad enough that the truisms about leaving medical advice to licensed healthcare professionals become wrong, and everyone would be better off turning to anything else instead of engaging with the system? Are we not there yet? How much further would there be to go?

      this might be an extremely unpopular and controversial opinion, but the solutions are gate-kept by the system.

      need a doctor and insurance’s permission to get the test to confirm a diagnosis. some labwork can be ordered online independently, but it’s limited and extremely expensive. as far as i know you can’t get most imaging other than a DEXA without a doctor.

      say you feel confident about a diagnosis for whatever reason… well now the only way to get that medication… is with a prescription. pirate pharmacies exist, but the medications they carry are limited.

      i’d have so much less of a problem with this stuff being “gate-kept” (because i DO understand the reason behind the “gate-keeping”) if doctors actually did anything.

    I’m indifferent to it. I figure it must work well enough for them or they’d change it to a more modern system.

    I hate it enough I can’t return from being an expat because of it. I guess you could say that if I hated it more I’d do more to actively fight it, but I kinda feel powerless there. I’m not really a leader. I don’t feel like my inability to fight it more makes me hate it less.
