“The research was conducted by the deVere Group, a leading financial advisory, asset management and fintech organizations, and it surveyed more than 750 clients under the age of 42 using the deVere Crypto app” (source)
ok so they surveyed people that are already into crypto, meaning the whole thing is literally bogus
A better headline would be: “Less than half of people actively invested in crypto would prefer part of their paycheck be in crypto.”
elon musk had a third child with grimes that he kept secret until the release of his biography. he named it techno mechanicus
can you imagine being an adult nepo baby at a company your rich dad invested in and having to walk into the boardroom first day like. hi everyone. my name is techno mechanicus
I can tell this is fake because “techno mechanicus” doesn’t start with X
OH SON OF A BITCH

I haven’t been reblogging this post because I genuinely assumed you guys were Goncharoving a nepo baby
I have a folder called Time is a Flat Circle in which I collect evidence of humanity. Here is most of them.
Okayokayokayokaybut “My hand will wear out but the inscription will remain” is kind of a power line BEFORE you factor in that it is, in fact, over a thousand years old.
It’s always good to spend a few moments, on a quiet day, looking through the Family album.
I raised my voice to the pharmacy technician and her boss said, “You have been yelling at her for five minutes now.”
I wasn’t yelling, and that just made me way angrier. Oh, is it frustrating to have to spend five minutes dealing with an unhelpful person? Is five minutes a lot of precious time that you won’t get back? Wow, I’m so sorry, I’ll get out of your hair and go spend half an hour calling other pharmacies individually to see if they have any supply, and when it turns out they don’t I’ll just wait a few days and see if the shipment you’re about to get has Adderall in it. And if it doesn’t I’ll spend another hour or so calling around to figure out what I’m supposed to do.
Gosh, it sure must be frustrating for you to spend five minutes on this, I can’t imagine.
You know what pisses me off? I get that it’s not your fault that the FDA and DEA have their heads buried up their own asses.
You know what is your company’s fault? The fact that you have 12 locations plausibly within driving distance of me and the procedure to see whether an alternate location can fill the prescription is for me to look up each one individually, call them, wait on hold, and then ask each individual pharmacist. There’s no way to track the supply, or to find out if it’s committed to other patients, and that’s nothing to do with the shortage.
After talking to several pharmacists the answer I got several times was, “Yeah they can’t tell us what’s going to get delivered ahead of time, a lot of times they say they have stock and then when we get the shipment it just randomly doesn’t have some of what we ordered.”
Like, I’m not just pissed off at the shortage, I’m pissed at this really bizarre inability to track whether anybody has it or doesn’t have it. Isn’t this a super dangerous drug that the FDA and DEA have to monitor closely? But the warehouse you order from just… doesn’t track how much they have or where it goes?
I can’t emphasize this enough, I’ve been told by multiple pharmacies that not only do they not know when they are getting more Adderall, they don’t know when they’ll know if they are getting more Adderall. They can’t give you a no, they can only say, “We’re getting a shipment of drugs on Thursday and it might have Adderall in it or it might not, we don’t know until then.”
And since it’s a controlled substance, your doctor has to specify which pharmacy you are getting the drug from, if you find another pharmacy that has it you have to first call your doctor and then have them send a new prescription to that particular pharmacy.
There was a lot of this during COVID also, getting tests and things. Not just a shortage of supplies, a completely decrepit infrastructure which left each individual out in the cold without information about where supplies might be or how you would find them.
Like, why is the procedure for patients, “Just call every pharmacy in the city to see if they have some”? That’s not caused by supply shortages.
The people in the notes explaining that I shouldn’t have raised my voice at all because the pharmacy tech obviously couldn’t help me, and obviously her manager couldn’t either…
I was not conscious of raising my voice; I certainly didn’t call anybody any names.
I cannot emphasize enough how frustrating it is to have your pharmacist say, “We cannot fill your prescription. We don’t know when or if we will be able to. Despite being a national chain, we can’t tell you if our other locations have a supply. We aren’t going to do our job, and cannot concretely tell you if we are *ever* going to be able to do our job, and the fact that you have spent so much time establishing that fact is very inconvenient and upsetting to us.”
Like, sorry that I sounded angry when I asked, for the third time in a row, when my prescription would be filled and was told “There is literally no way to know at all. Could be day after tomorrow, could be never.”
the man who owns and runs the thai restaurant in my town knows me by name. he is one of the kindest and most thoughtful men i know. i started ordering from his place back in january, which was when i got my fibromyalgia diagnosis. back then i was using a walker, had limited mobility in my entire body but especially my hands, and was very visibly in pain. i always ordered the same thing: yellow curry with no meat, potatoes and carrots only (i have texture and other dietary issues). he always made it a point to make sure i could get out the door and carry the food safely. he had his workers package the food so that it was easier for me to open. as i kept coming back and i told him a little bit about my health status, he would always encourage me to keep going. he told me about how the spices he used were good for inflammation and began to edit the recipe just for me so that spices that were even better for fighting inflammation were used. he’d give me extra portions and despite the fact that i would tip every time, i realized later that he never charged my card for them. as time went on and my condition began to get better, especially with the help of a physical therapist, he would make encouraging remarks and tell me how happy he was for me. the day i came in without my walker, he practically jumped for joy, and despite my insistence, he gave me my meal for free that day. i continue to make progress with my conditions and i continue to go to the thai place. this man who does not know me personally and who i hardly know anything about is one of my favorite people. it’s interactions with humans like these that make loving life easier. and his curry really does help my chronic condition. it’s comfort food taken to the next level.
