Sooo, #TikTok seems to have officially died. At this point, I’m pretty much used to claim tax write offs for my gaming. Eh…onto YouTube and Insta I guess. Maybe Skylight.

I’m gonna use my Bluesky to post the same crap that gets pushed on Tik Tok shop where it can be found cheaper…or delivered much faster. Is it a shameless attempt to push affiliate links…Yes. Should that stop you from saving money…No.

To Donald: No amount of power and money will ever make your father love you. To Elon: No amount of power and money will ever make you less of a weird dork. To Zuckerberg: How’s it feel to have everything and still be the biggest loser in your friend group?

So why would any one pharma company, who pretty much live quarter to quarter to please shareholders, hold back the most profitable, in demand discovery of all time…just to ensure the rest of the industry can profit off other treatments… That’s not at all how these companies think.

After the patent is up (in the US at least) other companies can make a “generic” version of whatever this mythical cure is, driving prices down. Think critically…do you think Merck shareholders and C-Suite execs really care about Pfizer’s ability to profit off cancer treatments?

No, absolutely not is the answer. Whatever company comes up with the “cure” would basically have an exclusive right to market it, and would basically have the most in demand medication since fucking Tylenol came out. They could charge whatever they want (because US certainly won’t limit them).

First of all, if some Pharma company found the CURE for cancer (nvm the fact that there can’t be a one sized fits all cure because cancer can mean a whole bunch of different diseases) They would absolutely release it. Pharma co’s have “X” amount of years to capitalize on a patent (usually 7-10)

My daughter is on her second round of the Flu in 2 months… My poor baby is going through it. Caught this one early though and got some tamiflu fortunately. It’s apparently rough out there folks. Flu is spreading like crazy. Stay safe!

Finished binging Dragon Ball Super: My Thoughts Goku - Why did they make him so dumb? Vegeta - Awesome character. Loved his progression. Gohan - I’ve always felt like Dragon Ball has wasted him since the Cell Saga. The trend continued for a while. Redeemed in ToP.

Grand Zeno - the Child-Like thing was weird. Didn’t really like this. ToP - Awesome concept! A ton of fun to watch. Ngl, I did fast forward through some of the less interesting battles though lol. Jiren - Loved the power, but character felt underdeveloped.

6th versus 7th Universe: Awesome! No notes! Hit was a great antagonist. Champa was a bit too goofy for my liking. Goku Black: Eh. Kind of cool. Ultimately felt convoluted (even for Dragon ball). Freeza’s 1st return: The whole thing felt forced…but I do love me some Freiza.

Beerus and Whis - initially Amoral, terrifying, and such an intimidating presence. Vegeta’s fear of Beerus really sold it. I didn’t like that they “softened” him up by the end though. Freiza - Mixed feelings. Hated him coming back at first. Enjoyed him thoroughly in ToP though.

I got an alert that the usps froze all shipments from China and then immediately unfroze them I’m ran hour later… Guessing all those donors that stand to lose a lot of money made some quick calls on that one.

I know, I mostly talk gaming and light stuff, and I created the ChaCha name so I could freely discuss these things separate from my professional life… But by trade I’m actually a pretty professional dude. I work in clinical trial compliance. This attack on research and healthcare is insane.

RFK’s mere consideration is such a slap in the face to those of us who have spent years in this field. He is not only unqualified, his views are dangerous. He may have a handful of appropriate takes (like his stance on red dye), but for the most part, he is a conspiracy spewing Trump sycophant

And that’s not even addressing the data purges… If you want to understand the general feeling in my field right now, just know that researchers and physicians with decades of experience are extremely worried. This is different. This is not normal. This is not a time to wait and see.

This isn’t just changing priorities as is normal when new administrations come in. This is a full blown dismantling of the organizations responsible for ensuring the drugs we take are safe and effective. The FDA can’t even effectively communicate drug recalls right now…

Dragon Ball Super Watch Update: Pretty sure Goku is just the villain now. He quite literally has placed a bunch of universes at risk of being wiped out for the lolz. Like as bad as Frieza, Cell, Buu, etc were, by comparison they were no where near as negligent as Goku.
