Could you guys just... die? We can't afford to pretend to care anymore. The shareholders demand more blood!

Funny, if I stop giving insulin I die in ~48 hours.

As a pancreatic surgeon he is very well aware of that.

It should be understood by everyone that they don’t care at all and are laughing in our faces

Reminds me of the new South Park special.

  • If you're rich, you get insulin
  • If you're poor, you get cooking classes

But then turn it on it’s head so the insulin cocktails (and they should make them insulin martinis/spritzes/negronis/etc in the show) use (behind the bar) the most sketchy, shit-quality insulin possible, and the cooking classes are top-tier CIA (not the intelligence org) ones

We will have gas chambers soon. Those fix everything. In other news Charlotte is being renamed Neo Nuremberg. Both are race towns.

T1D here. I don't have context but knowing nutrition-fu and having skills to make it tasty is not a bad place to be. Just saying

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Would you trade insulin for "nutrition-fu"?

Not if I have the choice, of course. But if I had to, I could follow the ways of my wife, she's been on ketogenic diet (no carbohydrates) for five years by choice. I wouldn't need insulin if I did the same. This is what I mean - knowledge is power.

Yeah, please don't try that.
