major drug companies. before the so called opioid crisis they were sitting high on top like happy bloated pigs selling all of these opioids. i take them because i have no choice, but i would love to have a non opioid solution for my pain. now that they can't keep getting fatter on opioid meds they do research on non opioids treatments. they have a lot of promising meds but it will take 5 to 10 years to become available.

I can't think why I haven't mentioned him to you before this.....
the education system these days. they keep dumbing down things so kids will pass instead of doing the right thing and spending the money to teach ALL kids properly.

@1964dodge My kid had to teach himself some AP classes from textbooks we ought, because the school wasn't even offerning certain classes🙄 . It was almost like being motivated was seen as bad/disruptive unless it was for football.
Absolutely to both of you. We are getting students that learn by rote and not being taught how to think sad really since the resources are there, but not the motivation. Some really do but others don't and eventually the center will give where those that do know will not be able to carry the dead weight of those unable to think their way out of a paper bag. I remember in high school where no calculators were allowed in any math classes, now they are told to bring a calculator or phone with the option. It is scary when you see an article at a name college like Notre Dame among others that have to send incoming students to remedial English because those students are fluent in text speak and Twitter speak but are subliterate and dumbbell math unable to do simple arithmetic because they don't understand the things that you once would have down in elementary school...
Being bored to death yet being unable to die of boredom, but also not knowing what the hell I want in spite of it all. Being on auto-pilot perpetually because it’s the only recourse I have over being nonfunctional, as well as the only way I could possibly begin to find purpose and enjoyment in life.
i remember one of my kids said they didn't have to study for a math test because they were allowiing students to use the calculator during the test so all students would pass, this was multiplication and division not calculous. i put my foot down and made him study and said no calculator, also made sure the teacher wouldn't let him. i wasn't the only upset parent

I can picture some students often way past elementary school years quoting Heart of Darkness/Apocalypse Now: The Horror, the horror.

I was hiring at a shop 2007 time frame - decent pay - first thing I did was a ruler test. Can you show me 8"? How about 9.5" etc .... cut 9/10 applicants every time. So either they didn't want the job, or we had adults who can't read a ruler back then.... imagine our future "doctors".
Dumbing down agenda is complete.
In Washington, D.C., the proportion of students beyond 3rd grade who cannot read well enough to participate in grade-level work is between 60 and 70 percent.
I've seen reports 65% US public education 8th graders do not read at proficient levels.
Stats are bit unnerving in this area to say the least.

My complaints are all related to medical right now. Can't help it, this is my world at the moment for the most part while I'm trying to get the care dots connected. Crickets from the group that are supposed to be ascertaining a second diagnosis of whether I have cancer or not, weeks now and no responses from even direct messaging the doctor. I wasn't allowed to move up my next appointment time which is at the end of the month. And this doctor refused to give any prescriptions even though the problems I'm currently experiencing are directly related to the first diagnosis he gave me. Says I have to go to a primary care MD for anything short of a transplant. Not kidding. Wait times are for weeks or months here to get into any physician these days. So next week I'll be going to another new doctor and telling my story one more time and hopefully receiving some needed assistance. I mistakenly posted a few days ago that I was to see him this week and I had the date wrong.
Thanks for listening ya'll.

i totally understand how you feel. most doctors hate to prescribe anything more potent than aspirin these days. waiting on results decisions etc.usually takes more time than it should. i hope the new doctor works out well for you, i guess these days you have to plan 90 days in advance before you get sick. i miss having my old doctor, the one that used to make house calls, yes house calls

Good one Mike
Planning supposedly garners better results??
my right upper and lower molars fucking hurts, it’s a persistent and shooting pain it goes to my cheeks and my jaws affecting all the neighboring teeth that i can no longer distinguish which ones are hurting or are they all hurting
i had a root canal in 2021, i don’t remember which one anymore but i remember the dentist told me that i have other teeth that may soon need treatment too
fuck my life… i still have 2 driving lessons to go to… shoving pain relievers and hope i survive, this fucking whiny cat specially at night and dawn is making things shittier for
me.
