I don't know man, in the US people pay insurance companies money to have access to life saving medications like insulin. So in a way we pay people so we don't die from medical neglect.... which could be considered negligent homicide depending on how you argue it.

This sort of bullshit is normalized in the US. I dont like that our country operates like the mafia, but here we are.

What an interesting part of my comment to nitpick.

Either you have an issue with the terminology..in which case take the terminology issues to Elon. I sure as fuck didn't invent the terms.

Or you buy into whatever garbage comes out his mouth. In which case don't talk to me.

That's why I added if you have the means, I absolutely understand if you don't. I just had a tooth extracted that was overdue by a few years. Just didn't have the money to get it filled before it cracked in half and I was in excruciating pain for months. I get it.

Maybe try a community health center if you have one near you? They usually do a sliding scale and can make referrals to doctors who work with uninsured or under-insured people. That's how I got my tooth taken care of without being thousands in debt after. Just google "community health centers near 'name of town & state." That is if you feel like pursuing it. Totally get it if you don't, but the above info can help with other health related issues too.

Either way, I hope even a little of that info is helpful to you. I fucking hate healthcare that's useless AND expensive. Wishing you the best.

Ugh. Sometimes I think drs just say "it's all in your head" as an easy way to handwave people out the door. They get paid regardless if they solve your problem or not. I'm sorry that happened to you. If you aren't sleeping well that's an issue. Any sleep specialist worth their salt knows this.

It took me about 10 years to get my diagnosis so I feel this. If you have the means maybe seek out a different sleep specialist and do a second test under that one. It's frustrating that to need to do that, but unfortunately that's what it comes to when you run into asshole doctors who don't care, don't bother listen, or just assume your a moron and your suffering is your own doing.

Best luck to you! I hope you get it figured out and find some relief soon

I guess they forgot that people like Martin Luther King Jr. got shot and killed for speaking out against these so called "high T, alpha males."

Being proud of using intimidation tactics is fucking weird and pathetic. Blaming it on garbage pseudo science lowers the bar into degeneracy. THEN turning it into victim blaming...."you're too weak to have anything worthwhile to contribute" is just... wow.

Evolutionary psychology was an interesting hypothesis, but it will never recover from these dipshits utilizing it as the loudest dog whistle in history...used to justify sexism and bigotry. I wish they'd all get in elons rocket and be the first people to land on the sun.

Have you tried having a sleep study done? Sometimes your body can go through the sleep cycles weird, or they get interupted resulting in being really tired all the time. A sleep specialist can see what's going on and help you fix it.

Diseases spread via human feces which why we tend to not use it. We could sanitize it by processing it, but then it won't carry the benefit of beneficial bacteria cultures so it's not as good as animal supplied manures.

Is there? Damn I just kinda picked an instance randomly before I really understood what that meant. Now I'm sad.

Same! No kids, no air travel(hate planes and have no real reason to be flying). I try to only eat chicken and fish(health reasons) so I guess I'm doing pretty good on my environmental impact.

The animal industry feeds the plants as much as the plants feed the animals. I'm not sure how vegans feel about synthetic fertilizer like miracle grow, but that's what will have to be used in place of manure if the meat industry goes away.

Many of the organic crops grown use animal manure to fertilize the plants. I know you can use seaweed and other plants for compost(weeds are already composted back in via tilling, seaweed requires harvesting from the ocean or long distance shipping from farms), as well as cycling crops to prevent nutrient deficiency.....

BUT manure doesn't just add nutrients. It adds beneficial bacteria that helps keep the soil healthy and make the nutrients bioavailable to plants. It conditions the soil for water retention, and helps break up clay soil and add organic matter to sandy soil.

Will vegans keep animals just for manure? Or will organic lables on food be less important? Are we going to start scraping the forests for leaves to chop up an add to farm soil? That can't be good for forests though. I guess I'm just confused about how to maintain large farms without access to large amounts of manure.

Being a good human being is an option for everyone.
And I know this is from a kids cartoon, but Uncle Iroh from Airbender embodies benevolent masculinity pretty well. If we want children and young men to be socialized better, a good place to start is with our media depicting more characters like that.

I wish I knew how to program so I could make a browser extension like ublock that blocks Trump content. I'm fucking tired of seeing his face everywhere and hearing all the dumb shit pouring out of his mouth and contaminating everything.

I know all I need to know about him and who I support politically. I'm so done with him trying to monopolize everyones minds and time. Get out of my life you fucking lich.
