So what I’m hearing is, we should all be very mad with the Americans?

I think there’s something similar in terms of initial patent rights, but it’s awful that people who need these meds are footing the bill. I realise now that I have been spoiled by the NHS. The idea of charging people for medical care that they need is unthinkable to me. It’s heartbreaking.

Wow, damn I had no idea. It’s criminal that they’re allowed to price gouge people like that!

I’d understand if it was some frivolous cosmetic thing made from anglerfish caviar or something equally absurd, but this is lifesaving medicine. I wish terrible things on the people who set those prices, that’s pure evil.

Does the US not have generic unbranded drugs?

Generics are literally a fact of life over here (UK) and the fact that Americans are going insane over them is wild to me. The NHS will prescribe generics as standard because they’re cheaper to supply and they’re literally the same drug.

My mother has a whole goody-bag of medication and there’s not a single brand name to be seen. They’ve kept her going for >10 years.

Sun, moon, and something-else-I-can’t-remember signs.

“Weird” feels like such a mild way to describe John Harvey Kellogg.

I’d say the American one because as a British person, I haven’t sung ours once in my entire life but Americans seem to sing theirs for everything.

Please let it be AI.

With a latte, it’s just normal steamed milk. A cappuccino has foamy steamed milk. Specifically, it has an equal volume of steamed milk and foam taking up space in the cup. You get more actual milk diluting the coffee in a latte, resulting in a milder drink.

And shit like this is why I just installed Linux Mint on my mother’s PC. No issues so far.

How’d you get access to that? It seems to be a major pain in the backside (at least here in the UK as a person afab) getting anyone to actually take NBs seriously in terms of the medical side of things.

I loved it too until I forgot my wallet one day. It’s the one thing I had to go back to stock Android for because I forget everything but my phone constantly.
