I just had an experience with a auto soap dispenser, sink, towels and dryer set in the same place in a public restroom, didn't have to walk to a shared dryer

Plus if electric cars become the norm, the streets will be quiet for the first time since the industrial revolution

honestly just modern medicine and indoor plumbing/water treatment

the amount of not dying from random infections we do these days, no wonder there are so many humans

If it weren't for modern medicine, I'd have been dead over a decade ago since I have an autoimmune disorder that is treated with a weekly injection. Whenever there are discussions about societal disorder, my first thoughts are wondering how long I would last without the medicine.

no way for you to be prescribed an emergency supply and get self injection training?

[-] BackOnMyBS@lemmy.autism.place 4 points 4 months ago

Unfortunately, the medication lasts about a year before it expires. However, that's in the fridge. At room temperature, the medication only last 14 days before it goes bad.

I appreciate your concern so much tho! I'm having a terrible day, so your care made it a bit nicer. Thank you very much 🥹
