We wouldn’t exist without the sun. It provides the energy we need to grow our food, and even to power our technology. Its existence is blatantly obvious. It answers prayers at about the same 50% rate as any other god. Just looking directly at the thing can harm you.
If I had to worship something, it’s certainly a very practical option.
It’s because we have a lot of repressed rage because we know deep down we really are one of the shittiest countries, despite what all the cousin-humping country singers keep caterwauling about.
Ever notice during the summer the hottest part of the day is usually around 3 or 4 in the afternoon instead of at noon? Same thing, just on the order of months instead of a day.
Shut down for the homeless, prices for them jacked up, and promoted to “cute and trendy” by the plaid shirt yuppies. We just can’t have anything nice in the US for the people who actually need it.
Slipped my mind as the last day or two I’ve been kinda distracted fighting UHC/Optum Rx over the latest runaround they’re giving me on my medication refill that I need in order to avoid major depressive episodes and suicidal ideation. I say latest because this is just our regular ritual every three months.
This latest round I’ve decided to admit defeat and just start paying out of pocket so I can get them from a local pharmacist of my choosing, without the runarounds, and without running out of my medications and fucking with my brain chemistry every three months. Hopefully they aren’t too expensive.
But, yeah, UHC CEO, thanks for the reminder. Thoughts and prayers and all that jazz.
The real reason they moved this shitshow indoors.
