pharmacists solely being distributors of pre-ordained medication has no detrimental effects on humans. 🫠 the US is great to its people, and has very good healthcare practices!! (livestream is on the 27th and i am excite, but not involved at all)

EDIT: my lack of capitalization and poor word choice has confused people. this event is about making legal, tested for efficacy medication only. pharmacists are good. doctors are good. the cost of medication and other hurdles that prevent people from having access to medication are not.

EDIT 2: i looked into the 4 Theives Vinegar Collective (breifly, just on wikipedia) and i did not realize that they made the EpiPencil, which is an open-source device that injects a mesured dose of epinephrine (a medication that can be bought from a trusted and legal distributor). that’s awesome stuff, but it’s less awesome that they now want to share chemistry knowlege that they don’t necissarily have a full understanding of, and push automated synthesis for people who also don’t have the foundational knowledge to ensure safety. not really great. i guess that’s what happens when healthcare is entirely for-profit, and inaccessable to so many people.

    You better fix this. Start with the first sentence. For most of history, people died young and nobody knew why. And it was horrible shit.

      i didn’t write the part that is an image, it’s a screenshot. i don’t disagree with you, in that “decisions for your own body” is not something that has always historically, or before written history, been a given at all. it definitely should not be taken for granted, and had/has to be defended and fought for, much like labor rights.

      but also, you could try a better communication method than “you better -insert demand here-” statements. it’s not condusive to a conversation, and seems more like a threat over a post on the interet upsetting you.

        I don’t have the power to make you do anything. What could possibly have made you think otherwise? Strange, that. Well, apparently I have the power to make you go on a lengthy rant. But that’s okay, you do that.

        Do we even have anything to discuss? You made a ridiculous post, according to the opinions of many but certainly not all, or some of us pointed out the ridiculousness of it, and you overreacted. It’s not a great start to a discussion. Probably it’s better to move on.

          i guess you moved on, until a dumb shitpost also upset you 🤭

          i wonder if the opinion that “this group of activists has it’s odd pitfalls” was shared by anyone, other than “many,” possibly even the OP. who knows?

          also, who started this “discussion?” you didn’t have to express your self-righteous anger, or at least could have done so more politely, without demands that i censor a screencap to make you not feel so wronged and upset.

          anyways 🥱 i’m bored. you got any games on your phone?

          EDIT: i am skeptical that you do, indeed, have games on your phone, as you claimed. i patiently await your (relevant to mobile gaming) response, and may one day decide to no longer live in your walls.

      🤡 <— this is you, defending human rights online

      i guess i will just have to wait for your implied “or else” to happen to me, since you’re incapable of talking to people without making vaguely threatening demands the second you’re offended, which i assume happens often.

      in case i wasn’t clear, this is also you:

      [ 🤡 “Look at me! I solve problems that stopped happening before I was born by being an annoying, self-absorbed dumb-dumb that posts online!!” ]

      i deeply care if you’re offended by any/everything, and will notify all relevant parties, if you are. there are none, but if there were any, i’d let them know you’re upset.

      anyways, feel free to block me if you want, since honest discussion is beneath you, presumably. and dm me what your implied “or else” is, if you would like, just for funsies. i hope it was showing up at my place(s) of residence for irl harassment, because that would warm my heart. it would possibly give away the fact that i live in your walls tho, which would mean i have to move again… :<
