Another PDF goldmine I somehow didn't know about before today: The Black Vault, an archive of 3 million pages of government documents. I am... very uncertain... of the ideological leanings of the site (a brief social media scan only reveals "really, really into UFOs"), but the documents are real regardless and there's so many of them and I am not going to bed on time tonight

i'm still mad about my insurance

it should be illegal for health insurance to decide to not cover something, period. if my doctor prescribed me medication you should have to cover it.

I am going to go to the grave mad about what my current insurance has either outright refused to cover or strongarmed me into filling at walgreen's instead of supporting a local independent pharmacy. I have never forgiven my previous health insurance for refusing to cover my ADHD meds, which put me in a pit it took me four goddamn years to dig out of. I haven't gotten an eye exam or gone to a dentist in years because some-fucking-how those aren't part of "health care".

No rulebook or committee or board of trustees should get that much say in the basic shit we need to survive.

why the fuck does my bougie covid test dingus have a rechargeable battery? why does it have wireless charging capability?! what fucking hospital/pharmacy setting is asking for this purported flexibility

the stupid thing does not even have an off button so it just sits there looking for bluetooth devices to connect to until it dies. it may as well not have the fucking battery. it'll probably brick itself because of the battery someday

gestures at wireless computer HIDs and way too many phones and tablets

You bet your ass it is. I can't afford American healthcare.
