You sound like my dad

It depends on the state. If it’s a purple state or a state where they do ranked-choice voting, then this is right and a vote for Biden is helpful.

If OP is in a solid red state, he can vote for any alternative candidate and it won’t matter which alt candidate he chooses since Trump will already have it locked up.

The only asterisk is if abortion is on the ballot as a statewide measure. That can take a red state (like Kentucky) and turn out enough voters to temporarily make it blue.

Are you US-based?

If your wife administers the injection at home, how do you acquire the injection? Would your allergist mail you the agent, would you need to pick it up from their office in person or would you pick it up at a local pharmacy after the MD sends in the Rx to that pharmacy?

1. As the other person commented, a locally-owned pharmacy is a reasonable option. Walgreens/CVS probably won’t be able to do it.

2. Any hospital infusion center can do this for you. I’d look for an oncology infusion center. Even though you are in immunology and not oncology, an OCN is incredibly skilled at giving sub-q injections. They are used to patients having adverse reactions to chemotherapy (anaphalaxis) and subsequently have the necessary training to make sure you will be fine.

3. Have your current MD personally call the MD at the local immunology clinic. Docs will, more often than not, grant other docs favors and considering that the new clinic would be able to bill for the immunological agent and also the administration of that agent (two separate fees), it’s not a huge favor to grant.

4. Get a local primary care doctor and have your immunologist’s office set up injections to be done in-clinic. This has the similar risk profile as the pharmacy administered injections. If you ask for this yourself, you will probably get turned down. If your allergist MD asks, the request will probably be granted.

this is not psychiatry

I’d argue, based on your post, that this is absolutely about his psychiatric state. People act like this because their mental, emotional and behavioral health is poor.

Being a functional adult does not mean you have good mental health.

I like to zero out my bank accounts each year so I tip my landlord whatever the total combined balance is. /s

👆This is a troll account. Look at the acct history.

Ask them for their kids’ social security number, DOB, etc. I’ve done that a couple of times and it always gets a reaction.

People are less concerned about themselves, but generally very protective of their children… and rightfully so.

Your sorting is working properly. When you sort by active, you’ll get posts that people are actively commenting on. When you sort by hot, you’ll get posts that lots of people are looking at, and when you sort by new, well, those are the new posts… so 10 seconds seems about right.

It works the same on Reddit. It’s just that there’s a lot more users, a lot more engagement and a lot more overall content over there.

Disclaimer, This is only for Lemmy.world.

I actually read the privacy policy. There are basically 3 segments of data:

1. The one time when you signed up.
2. All times you log in, after you’ve signed up.
3. User generated data

For part one: They store your username and the IP address used when you create the account. They store a hashed version of your password, not the actual password. They’ll store that info for as long as you have an account with lemmy.world. They store the hashed password so you can log into your account.

For part two: They keep a log of the times you sign in, the device you signed in from (iOS, Android, web) and the IP address you do it from. They delete this data on a rolling basis, every 90 days from the date the login data was created (from the time you logged in).

For part three: These are your posts, comments, upvotes, downvotes, etc. This is stored this until you delete your comment/post or undo your upvote/downvote. When you delete your account, if you haven’t deleted your data, the connection (the association) between your account and the data itself is severed. This means that the comment will remain but the username value will be null.

tl;dr: I’m no expert but I think they keep a very small amount data. They probably do this to keep their costs as low as possible (but that is just my speculation).

If you’re really worried about data mining and data logging, you can always go back to reddit /s

You thought of this in the shower? I feel dumb.
