You can, but people rarely do more than once, which should be an indication of how much fun it is.

If you still have a local non-chain pharmacy use them until they go out of business. They will eventually because the chains have a stranglehold on pricing and are actively raising costs for independents, then offering to buy the business as it founders.

Mark Cuban's Cost Plus drugs is my refuge from pharmacies. It's cheaper than the chains even if you have insurance, but I can't be my Adderall through them.

It baffles me that he fucked a gremlin at the end of Gremlins 2.

Don't cut yourself on all that edge.

Well, I was born in the 80s. In the 90s I was a kid, and in the 2000s I became an adult. Since then I've worked for unions, political campaigns and social services nonprofits, along with mutual aid/community organizing in my off time. I worked for young candidates in primaries who got NO party funding with tons of local support get murdered by incuments who got DNC dollars. Most recently it was a food bank, but funding disappeared with USDA's DOGE-ification so I'm out of work, with weird shit going on in my junk and rapidly mounting medical bills. Living in the US can be very rough when you're trying to make it better.

If you want to pin all of these problems on the random American person who happens to be on your side then that's your business, but around my parts we call that being myopic and prejudiced. If I get Canadian citizenship I'm moving next door to you and being a perfectly polite neighbor.

Sorry bud, I didn't ask for my country to take this turn. I voted and worked against it. But then the election happened and funding got cut and I got laid off. It's really hard to fight the system when you're out of work, running down your savings and faced with literally $3500 of medical bills in the last 2 weeks with more to come and no diagnosis yet.

You might consider that lots of us are just as horrified at the US as you are, and that being a jerk at those that share your opinion doesn't cast you in the most positive light.

What if we would rather be Canadian but can't afford to move, and aren't special enough to breeze through immigration? What if we wish BC and the Pacific states could join forces and be a chill, socialist coast? Baja can come too.

New, programmable analog chips that perform basic sound processing aren't retro. The article is worth reading.
