“There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.”

i still appreciate a good classic meme

as someone who takes many medications and has had to deal with pharmacy nonsense for years… was this the pharmacist, or were they a pharm tech paid $7.50 an hour? not that that somehow justifies the denial. rather, it makes sense that when someone can get an “easier” position (easier in quotes because i’ve heard being a pharm tech is really difficult - but again, iirc, it’s a job a lot of people can get) that they would end up in this situation where they choose to deny filling someone’s medication. i imagine most actual pharmacists won’t be denying medication (but it DOES happen, no denying that, just less likely imo).

if this was a pharm tech, i would have demanded to speak with the pharmacist. especially since THEY can decide whether or not i “need” a certain medication. if they won’t get the pharmacist, get the walgreen’s manager, or just shout for the pharmacist to come to the front. the actual pharmacists can be soooooooo busy, so they could easily be tuning out what’s going on at the counter. lots of customers can be frustrated - what do you mean my insurance doesn’t cover this? this doesn’t look like my normal meds! i’m not paying that price, charge me less! etc etc. so any confrontation going on up front is just a regular part of the job, and can be something you just tune out.

also sharing this info so people know what to do, if they should find themselves in this unfortunate situation.

THANK YOU ESTONIA, HAPPY PRIDE

interesting! thanks!

i like the idea that cowards can’t hide behind their downvotes lol 👀

can you see who gives upvotes/downvotes?

hard to say. i have been told i care too much about downvotes. maybe people just don’t admit how much it bothers them? i know they say upvotes, likes, hearts, etc. are a major dopamine hit, so i don’t see why the opposite (a dopamine drain) wouldn’t be true

i’ve been on reddit for… 6-7 years? it’s fine. i mean by that logic i should unalive myself, because everything is triggering. at best, it gives me an opportunity to practice my coping skills. at worst… i feel uncomfortable for a bit, don’t cope well, and whine about it to a friend lmao (which, to me, is also me trying to confirm i didn’t do anything Wrong)

i could be wrong, but i feel like upvotes make downvotes unnecessary, as upvoted content will naturally be recognized, while comments that don’t get upvotes probably aren’t valuable (and they might totally be valuable… just unnoticed)

i will say… i do like that kbin shows upvotes and downvotes together. feels less shitty.

alternatively… could be more shitty if you get a ton of downvotes and no upvotes!

downvotes REALLY bother me. why it bothers me personally: i have severe mental health issues (to the point of disability). due to how i grew up, i heavily internalized being and accepting that i’m always bad and horrible and wrong and punishing myself for it. when i get criticized or downvoted - even if it’s silly - i feel HORRIBLE, because obviously i MUST’VE done something VERY BAD and VERY WRONG and i must be PUNISHED and i must CORRECT. and it’s even more frustrating when i don’t know what to correct. bonus, i have autism and adhd, so i can say things considered “wrong” and not know why, but people won’t explain it to me because apparently i should magically know. and i don’t want to be a bad person, but now i’m suddenly a bad person and i don’t know what to do about it.

this is just ME. i don’t think it applies to most people. and inb4 “bruh it’s just a downvote, it’s not that deep, touch grass” AGREED. BIG AGREE. but if you understand anything about psychology, it can take a very long time to undo stuff that’s so deeply ingrained from childhood, if it can be undone at all. i have actually heavily improved in this area in terms of recognizing i’m not necessarily wrong and rarely need to be punished, but the emotional reaction sadly has not changed much.

also, some (not all) people just seem to use downvotes as a personal attack, and that’s just annoying as hell. i think people can relate to this much more.

i try hard not to downvote, because i don’t think it’s necessary most of the time. people seem to downvote the silliest things…

the one downvote is from u/spez

i’m trying to “migrate” my favorite subs to kbin. i am getting errors… don’t know if i’ve met a limit or if everything is just overloaded rn

edit: after some hours, i’m allowed to make new “magazines” on kbin. god bless
