  • I can tell you, having gone through the CVS specialty pharmacy stuff for chemo medication specifically, it is absolutely not covered in the way you or they have said, and you absolutely do not pay $0.

    Have you ever had cancer or had a family member go through cancer treatments? Because if you haven’t, you probably shouldn’t speak from a position of authority on things for which you have no direct personal experience with.

    I have both had very close family members go through this and am going through something similar myself personally.

    My copay is absolutely not $0 from CVS specialty pharmacy. Usually, for a $9k-12k prescription (Depends on the dosage they decide I need), I end up needing to cover around $2k/month, after insurance. And that’s with having double insurance providers. Some of that can be helped out with from other assistance programs from the manufacturer, such as a manf. co-pay card, but the money I pay towards it does not count towards my out of pocket deductible, so I’m forced to also hit my OOP maximum from normal procedures that aren’t related to the specialty pharmacy medication.

    Additionally, health insurance has been covering less and less of my medications and procedures each and every year. So it keeps getting worse for me, and I assume everyone else, including those in the SAG.














  • Acid certainly changed my life for the better. I used to stress out about everything. I still stress out about things now, but I have the heads-up knowledge that all of reality is a fragile thread of consciousness where my brain is tricking itself into viewing and interpreting the world around me as a stable, solid thing, when the truth is that reality is as subjective as you want it to be.

    There are no rules. You can make up and do whatever you want.

    Then I stop worrying about why I got a $5 fee for some bullshit from my bank I’ll have to call them about tomorrow.




  • Just go ahead and plan for the general strike.

    We don’t need to fucking wait for the meddling to happen then act all surprised and disgusted when it does.

    They’re fucking saying they’re going to do it right now. They’ve been saying it for over a year. They were saying it in 2020. It was on the recordings. The Garland slow walked the election interference case and acted all surprised when the charges were instantly dropped after trump took over the DOJ.

    So. Let’s organize a general strike, right fucking now. Let’s plan for it to happen in October ahead of the election.

    They are going to fuck with it. They’re fucking with it now.

    The time to plan and organize is now. We don’t need a plan for a plan for an organization.

    Democracy is ending right now. Today. Let’s fucking go.


  • Jetpack Cat was the original name of the cat though. It’s a tough corner they’ve backed themselves into there.

    It was originally the model for Pharah, before they decided (Jeff Kaplan) that it should be more serious and not include actual animals in it (you have Winston, but he talks and acts like a human).

    So they reworked the Jetpack Cat into Pharah and released her as the daughter of Ana.

    Jetpack Cat is owned by Brigetta and is one of her emotes that she picks it up and cuddles it.

    If they had named it anything else, it would have ruined the 10 years of lore they built up around it, so I understand why they did it.

    The issue for me is that it’s a support character.
