We've always had odd balls, arseholes, pointlessly angry people, racists, homophobes, all varieties of people out on the fringe of generally acceptable behaviours. Modern technology has allowed them to find community and sort of glob together much easier, be much louder and more visible, spread their particular brand of thought.

Just my musings anyway. They were always there, the regular people were just more numerous and those on the fringe couldn't find each other so easily.

They walk amongst us.

I've only just recently commenced medication and I'm finding the benefits a little noticeable. The real test will be returning to work soon after some leave.

I'm interested in how people store their medication on their person whilst on the go.

My job has me out of the office regularly, sometimes for extended periods of time. I'd like to keep two doses on me should I need them, but I'm concerned about not misplacing them.

Any recommendations?

If memory serves (being knowledge I gleaned from a podcast). He's a YouTuber that has carved out a popular niche in philanthropy of sorts. All for views of course, but some philanthropy none the less. Very popular I think with, I want to say Gen Alpha aged kids. A lot of people have imitated the content style in the last few years. So I guess there is instant brand recognition and trust there for a lot of people.

Oh boy. This is all moving very quickly. People already fall for simple SMS scams, I can only imagine just how many more will be falling victim to this trash in months/years to come.

I don't know whether they're trying to stir outrage to keep their narrative in the public sphere, or realistically attempting to solicit new members from the general public at a shopping mall. Either way it's moronic and wrong.

I'm still awaiting a diagnosis, being middle aged and having been unmedicated my entire life. It only really dawned on me, despite the suggestion years back by my spouse, that I was perhaps undiagnosed.

Hearing anecdotal accounts like yours, and those I had in years gone from people successfully medicated, really inspire some hope in me.

This one took a little longer than expected.

This is troubling. I have a constant fear of dropping food on my clothes. A white onsie is definitely going to stain. Climate change strikes again.

According to my wife: Basically everything is covered in tiny bugs. Skin, carpet, clothing, the lot.

Don't you still need to wipe yourself dry?
