Then there's me, who mods games explicitly so I can hoard unused, but potentially useful items.

I thought a group of blue oysters was called a cult

Yeah, turns out you can't realize your potential when healthcare is restricted. I was "smart" but "needs to try harder", and you really can't just "try harder" your way out of neurological problems.

Turns out that I've got some white matter hyperintensities my neurologist says is scarring from getting abused as a child, and I have a small tumor in my thalamus. I'm due for another MRI to see if the glioma has grown at all, so fingers crossed my insurance situation doesn't change between then and now, because I can't afford it otherwise.

Not for good, just for now. It's my home instance, so I've been following developments. Lemmy vs Piefed isn't a big deal, my alt is on piefed and it works about the same for the end-user. It still federates like Lemmy does, the major differences are in the backend.

The admins did a post about it here https://lemmy.world/post/30798447

I've got a Note 8 that's still hanging on. Battery lasts me all day with moderate use, but my bank app isn't supported.

They probably mean stuff like Tylenol2, which is acetaminophen and codeine.
