>*sigh* i cant flag him for avatar fagging yet because its actually applicable to the thread.
Yeah that doesn't do anything. First of all I pretty much always post in a thread with "actually applicable" content. Second, they've never banned or warned for avatarfagging at all, because they're reaction paintings being posted on the art board. If you're spamming those reports they're being ignored. Every ban I've gotten has been for like talking about things unrelated to art, mostly from responding to one of the trolls.

>What relation could arbitrarily increasing the operating costs of companies through taxation possibly have to price reductions?
HOLY PIVOT BATMAN. There is no country in the world with more favorable policies for health insurance companies, and there is no country in the world with more expensive healthcare. Stay focused.
>That's largely because of (bad) regulation
It's called agency capture.
> Accounting for inflation, the FDA has driven up the cost of developing a drug from 412 million dollars in the early 90s to over 2 billion today
k. You're still going to be spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on not dying in your life. Something people in first world countries don't have to worry about at all. You're going to throw a house away on getting cucked by a plunderbund of existential extortionists. If you want to justify that to yourself by boohooing for drug companies that's your mind cancer.
>Strategic regulation and the FDA isn't all bad mind you
The fact that you needed to say this at all highlights how much of a hysterical retard you are.
>but you can't ignore its place in all this
YEAH BLAME THE REGULATORS! PFIZER A GOOD BOY. MERCK DINDU NUFFIN.
>Medicare and Medicaid spending on drugs stands at about $1 for every $3 total spent on healthcare in the US
Yeah because it operates within an insurance only system. Every market agent is hyper-incentivized to inflate cost by as much as possible. When you refuse to have an at-cost non-profit public option for privatized options to have to compete with, it becomes a plunderbund where everyone "competes" to charge as much as possible. There's a reason that the government spends way more per-capita on healthcare, which only covers a fraction of the population, than any other government spends per capita. And then on top of that Americans are forced to spend $300,000 each on tap of that. It's all designed to exploit you when it's either them or death. You're a shill for very bad people

MY

all this shit is definitely wrapping up. Still gonna be around until after the storm but then I'm probably going to be done with the first act bullshit and I (hopefully) wont be getting danger close with self-destructive memes like this until ~2020 when I cut a finger off.

and for whatever kind of records that matter (I do everything assuming future historians and abnormal psychologists may be interested) I wasn't anticipating or planning on getting randomly triggered by my cat destroying a mouse's face leading to me waking up in a nightmare psychotic episode where sober me was bamboozled by drunk me with goddamn LSD.

I think the nature of my mental illness is relatively fantastic and "one-in-a-million" in ways that will hopefully be explored publicly in the future as part of the process of me "killing my self" over the span of this race against Van Gogh. We're in one of them most exhilarating times in human history and my idea of an "afterlife" is that my mistakes could potentially help future generations deal with the tidal wave of bullshit that we as a species are fundamentally unprepared for.

I don't care about pissing contests with anyone other than my ideal self. And I think it's important for humans to strive to do better and I'm willing to self destruct if I think it may help the progress of the human race to escape the sun.

None of us are competing. Humans kill humanity. And it was "too late" 300 years ago. The chances of ANY of the bullshit in your life making it a few decades after your death are slim to none. And the chances of any of THAT mattering in the cosmic scheme of things is ZERO.

Plus the concept of "zero" only really means anything from a human experience. We created all these memes to justify an indifferent universe and I'M the crazy one because I want to cut a finger off to celebrate this.

We're all self-destructing. We're all doomed. It was over before we were born.

Post paintable memes pleas.

>Yeah, and that's much better?
Than what? 30 so far is WAY better than most of the 20s. Last 2 years have really been about getting away from the edgy endless adolescence and finding purpose and cause and stuff. Plus, compared to when I was like 20, it is SO MUCH NICER not being constantly horny and frustrated and stuff. Plus I know so much more about stuff than I did when I was younger. Plus it's not like you really start feeling old yet.

And honestly though, better than what? Time is entropy. You can't stop being how old you are.

And if the only banter you have going for you is the circumstances of your birth, you're clearly a fucking loser.

>At your own request, I'm going to compile all your racist & bigoted bullshit and submit it to your past and current employers
I am my current employer. And I'm making an art project about 4chan. I've written pretty extensively already about why I say words like nigger and faggot and cunt and retard and floozy doobus.

And why would my "past employers" care? For one thing, many of them were actually quite racist.
> hope you enjoyed working as a production assistant Jimmy,
I kind of did. Kind of also intentionally walked away from it all too though. And it's not like I was still doing much PA work anyway. Was getting into craft services and art department work mostly at the time that I became self-employed.
> that's very righteous of you to stand up for your beliefs.
Again. I'm dying. I don't care. You can spend hours going through the archives to edit together a compilation of me saying the meanie no-no words all you want. At the end it'll all just be time you're NOT spending improving yourself. Proving that I'm an asshole will never make you less of one ;D

>I think nobody caring when I will myself is gonna be alot more satisfying than people being happy when you do it.
my cat is gonna be enthused. He tells me with his lazer beam eyes that he's going to eat my face when I'm dead. I believe him too.

>the way you dissect every sentence really give the impression of aspergers syndrome
Aspergers doesn't exist anymore. Autism spectrum disorder.
>and somehow you still manage to say nothing at all!
You called me autistic and then said I'm not saying anything. Do you think autistic people are magical soothesayers?

And also, what the fuck are you saying?

>tell yourself whatever strokes your sad little ego bud
Why is everything about ego stroking with you dips? I come to a place full of actively hostile dickheads tell me I'm garbage for fun. I make and display unfinished paintings with frustrating mistakes on them because it makes me uncomfortable and driven to keep going.

Being abused is part of my creative process. I'm not sure why this is upsetting to you.

>here's a davinci you are trash
So you're implicitly comparing me to Da Vinci? I'll take it!

I mean I'm waiting for the canvas to dry. No harm interacting with someone that is desperate for attention.

I like how you have such a negative self-image that you think that making people interact with you is punishment for them. Are you doing ok anon? I'm here for you friend.

>Boo hoo, someone doesn't support your addiction.
Which one? The only substance I experience physiological withdrawal symptoms from is caffeine. Do you drink caffeine? Are you a junky?

And how exactly does being a self-important boring faggot have any bearing on relative "support" of addictions? You're going to miss everything cool, interesting, and fun in life and probably die angry and bitter at the people that didn't let their shitty parents ruin their life. It's always going to be those darn "junky's" fault isn't it?

Your dad was the junky right? You're a teetotaling child because you were abused and traumatized by your shitty family as a child? You've chosen to let your entire life be shaped by drug addiction and I'm the junky?

You aren't sober because you're better than normal people, you're sober because you're damaged. You have to abstain from everything because you don't have the self-control to do anything, and you have to tell yourself that maintaining the same lifestyle that you had when you were 13 is what healthy adults do.

And I guess I was right about you being a compulsive masturbator huh? Fuck on, junky.
