Also since we have no rage thread any more. We're currently under and almost countrywide fire-making prohibition over here and I smell somebody in the neighbourhood grilling.

It's a shame I'm so chronically conflict avoidant.

[Eric Blank]

Fires contained within grills for cooking usually are considered an exception to fire bans though arent they? Maybe you should double check with your fire department on that.

[scriver]

No, they are certainly not. Only grill what's allowed is one without a fire.

[LordBaal]

How that's work? Electric only?

[scriver]

Yup! I have no idea if electric grills can even remotely create the same kind of flavour but supposedly such things exist.

That feeling when you eat an entire city because you wont give up and then lose the siege.

I do not understand how people can acknowledge, even regularly complain about problems they have, while simultaneously engaging in behaviours that actively make those problems worse.

My mind boggles.

[scriver]

Are you referring to something from your own day, or to, perhaps, my comment about fear of conflict above?

[hector13]

My own thing. I know it was cryptic and vaguebooking, for which I apologise, but it's personal and I'm odd about things like that.

It does, however, need to be expressed, lest I break something (probably myself) before I talk about it with the person that needs the talking, because I appear to be stupendously angry about it, which is bothersome in itself.

[scriver]

Well it fits in regards to me too, because it is like literally everything I do and don't do.

Spoiler answer: it's because I am weak and unworthy

[hector13]

Conflict isn't something that is easy to deal with, man, particularly with a stranger. You don't know how they'll respond, you don't know how you'll respond to that and it snowballs from there into a massive uncertainty vortex in which anything could happen! I do it myself, my neighbours are asshats, and I'm reasonably sure one of them is unhinged.

Anyway, unless you are actually going out and making your problems worse by pissing people off and then running away, you're just procrastinating on solving your issues which I do, all the goddamn time.

Double post because I am not ruining my shitpost above: that's not exactly universal. In Brazil, at least, by law you can request a generic alternative to the prescribed medication at the pharmacy.

Point being, I never said it was. That was in direct response to LordBaal talking about how it is in south America.

I kinda thought it was clear this is about the USA specifically. I should have written "if people (in the USA) were shopping for themselves"

I have mentioned at least once that I'm talking about the USA, specifically, in the bit where I specifically excluded Europe. I would have thought it was obvious that the target of the criticisms was specifically USA when I pointed out that the criticisms didn't extend to places like Europe.

In no US state is it mandatory to provide the brand-name prescription if there is a generic available that otherwise meets all requirements . 12 states specifically mandate doing so if the generic is cheaper, while the remaining states mandate that there is a subsitution upon request.

What the fuck even happened in this thread

[ggamer]

Sirens have been going off ever since i've gotten home; very silent hill-esque. They throw out that siren whenever they open up the dam a bit to keep the lake from flooding, and with all the rain we've been getting that means the siren's going off almost constantly during the day.

[TamerVirus]

It can only be Silent Hill if there is an oppressive amount of fog.
And horrifying creatures from the depths of one's psyche
But mostly its fog
