The generic Adrenaclick will cost $109.99 for two doses, compared with $649.99 for the same amount of drug in an EpiPen. That’s good news, both for financial and safety reasons: STAT reported last year that some parents and institutions had begun filling up syringes with epinephrine as a cost-cutting measure, a DIY solution that could pose great risk to the children who may have eventually needed injections. A more affordable alternative will help ensure safer epinephrine injections.
That’s assuming, though, that the people who need these devices know exactly what to ask for when they’re sitting in their doctors’ offices. Otherwise, they’ll still be stuck with the overpriced product. Here’s why: The mechanism by which Adrenaclick injects the drug is slightly different from EpiPen’s mechanism, so the Food and Drug Administration has ruled that the two are not therapeutically equivalent. That distinction is important because it means a prescription for an EpiPen cannot be filled with Adrenaclick. If you want the cheaper option, you have to have an Adrenaclick prescription.
You must ask your doctor for an Adrenaclick prescription!
I also found a coupon from Impax on 0.15mg and 0.3mg epinephrine injection, USP auto-injectors, which appear to be the generic version of Adrenaclick; these coupons cover up to $100 per pack for 3 packs of these injectors (6 total injectors).
I think the left collectively needs to re-establish and reaffirm that sex shaming is bad.
there’s no kind of sex shaming that’s acceptable. there’s no way to sex shame people that doesn’t mesh with conservative goals. sex shaming is a form of body policing, and there’s no way to extricate body policing from the authoritarianism that comes with any kind of policing. it’s all regressive as fuck and it needs to go.
There’s a special class of “science weapons” that will have special, ridiculous effects, like a shrink ray
There’s a full character creator even though it’s first-person only (you’ll see your character in the inventory, and if you leave the game idling long)
Your companions don’t have separate inventories. Taking companions with you just gives you more inventory space to work with yourself
If companions really dislike the decisions you make, they’ll leave and go back to the ship. You can persuade them to see things your way
No romancing companions. They considered it, but decided against it.
Companions each have a special attack (one named Felix does a double drop kick) but you can also equip them with whatever weapons you want
Hacking and lockpicking don’t have minigames, and are simply based on your attributes
There are six skills (strength, intelligence etc.) and for every 20 points you put into one (up until 100) you’ll gain a new perk
As in the creators’ past games, you can play as a “dumb” character with stupid dialogue options. Your companions react appropriately.
They’re still not sure if it will be possible to play through the game completely pacifist (but you’ll almost definitely have to at least kill some robots)
Robots aren’t sentient, but your ship’s AI seems to have a strange degree of personality
Tim Cain wants you to know there are a lot of drugs, but he’s not going to pressure you to take them
also like I love how avengers infinity war was about having AS MANY CHARACTERS AS POSSIBLE and avengers: endgame is just like here’s eight white people
thanos’ snap was as random as an airport’s random security check
(also atm he’s teamed up with the good guys to fight Hela, which is GREAT, but I’m not far through the main storyline so I’m sure that won’t last lolsob)
idk can we stop…treating a.ce disc.ourse like it’s some haha funney cringe compilation or whatever the fuck because it fucking destroyed the entire ace and aro communities. there is no solid aspec community on tumblr anymore (which was by far the biggest number of aspec ppl). exclusionists took our community and fucking smashed it to pieces and y’all treat it as this fucking stupid joke when they traumatized, gaslit, and abused an entire group of queer people back into the closet. fuck every single person who doesn’t take that seriously.
My personal experience is just that, but it’s really indicative that I have watched almost every single ace and aro person I know, irl and online, actively recloset themselves as a direct result of the consequences of The Disc Horse™
I watched irl queer groups disintegrate bc a few ppl who got into leadership positions used that to make the space hostile towards ace ppl (among others as well), saw friends go from being loud and proud aces n aros to actively avoiding any mention of it and letting ppl assume their sexuality. I myself, having been IDing as ace for 10 years at least, have in the past couple since this whole “"discourse”“ came into being, actively and intentionally stopped telling anyone at all that I’m ace. To put that in some kind of perspective, I am incredibly out as trans and will actively out myself pretty constantly except to total strangers I will never see again. I feel safer telling ppl I’m trans than ace. Especially in queer spaces. It’s fucked me up so much I didn’t even quite grasp how much but today my therapist asked me for the first time about like romantic relationships and I physically could not say I am aro and ace. Completely incapable, utterly frozen, and I just kinda let her believe what she will. Ironically the fact that I’ve gone from being willing and ready to tell ppl I’m ace as just another facet of myself to entirely unable and unsolicited to tell anyone, is probably a thing one might want to talk w one’s therapist about.
This has really fucked not just the community at large but fucked up individual ace ppl in so many ways. It’s not something “funny” or remotely harmless, it’s absolutely devastated us.
I reblogged this only a couple of days ago when this hand only 2k-ish notes.Now this has 10k notes FULL of ace , aro and aroace people talking about how much the “ace discourse” emotionally and mentally traumatized them and how so many of them stopped coming out as ace even among their most lgbtqa friendly peers and groups and its just SO SO heartbreaking to read.
The ace discourse has been going on here for around 3 years now with no signs of stopping considering of how many excusionist and aphobic ace discourse keep popping up here and 99% of them are just really horrible people who keep bullying,harassing and mocking ace people as a form of “discourse”
Ace discourse hasnt made ANYONE feel safe in the lgbtqa community except people who are as much of a bully towards ace people as aphobes are and has just created a huge divide among the community bc many lgbtqa ACE people too feel like they cant trust other lgbtqa people non ace people since they might turn out to be aphobic.
I hope anyone who has EVER contributed to this disgusting agenda against the existence of ace people reads this and realizes how they have only played the part of the bullies and bigots they hated in schools and societies, towards ace people and have contributed to the unsafeness and self hatred ace people feel for being ace.
No matter how many “hot takes” people write with as many leftist buzzwords or masterpost aphobes make ,ace people arent EVER going to stop existing.Its their LIVES and not some internet identity they make up so all this harassment of ace people is only EVER going to make ace people hide themselves not erase themselves.
tbh I like being part of fandom, generally speaking; I love the fic and art and meta and meeting people who also love those things
but I also have to envy people who are able to enjoy a thing without getting so emotionally invested that a stupid decision on the creators’ part can cause genuine fear or grief
I'm a defeatist but I don't have to be
