Paimon, did you seriously just say there was a bromance developing between Thoma and Itto?

Okay, I wasted another 2 USD on a standard space coke and, uh...

At least it doesn't have the bitter aftertaste??? I mean, it kinda does, but nowhere near as bad as the zero one. It's still got that cloyingly sweet faux bubblegum flavour though. Would not recommend.

Apparently, I got the space coke zero. I'll have to get back to you on normal space coke.

'bout to do a short test stream over at https://www.twitch.tv/auravulpes

Feel free to join, though when I say short, I do mean short.

Paimon, the dumbass got blackout drunk in a crate of wine. Why are you surprised he lost something important?!

Venti making himself at home in a box of wine? Checks out.

Decided to buy one of those space-flavoured sodas™️​ while picking up my prescription earlier and, uh...

Gotta say, real brave of the Coca-Cola Corporation to make a soda that tastes like that shitty """bubblegum-flavoured""" medicine we'd get as kids.

"It's just a massive hivemind of Katheryne!"

I did a half-assed rendering of it. I'm not good enough at this kind of art to really do it any sort of justice, but I think it gets the point across.

I had a dream "last night" that I won a foot race and as I was coming in on the last lap, while I was doing the whole "holy shit, I won" thing, I started glowing trans pride colors and breathed a plume of pride colored fire up like some kind of pride dragon. It was pretty cool

Incidentally, don't worry about me. I think the neck fuckery was just from how I slept and nothing has cropped up thus far to suggest my concerns were valid. I'm keeping an eye on it, but thus far, if it is meningitis, as I said, it's a mild viral case that'll resolve itself as viral cases tend to. But, depending on how I'm feeling tomorrow, I may be a little more forceful about seeking care. We'll see, but I should be fine.

5/5

Sometimes, nothing's wrong. That concussion turned out to not be that bad. This whole thing could just be a mild flu or something. Allergies and weather, even. But it'd be better if I could see a doctor and confirm that, instead of having to pray it's going to be fine. So, yeah. Another way expensive healthcare kills: pricing you out of catching things before they get bad.

4/EOT

This is far from the first time cost has put me off preventative diagnostics. I once had a concussion. I tried to get a walk-in with my uni's (free) clinic, but couldn't because they were closing. I was told to go to urgent care. In the end, because of cost, I basically just hoped it'd be fine. But I still remember leaving my apartment unlocked in case they came for cleaning inspections and I'd died in my sleep. 3/
