    I haven’t had a migraine free day in at least 4 years. I have tried every migraine drug on the market. The only thing that works for me is Midrin. Which was discontinued in 2009. Good thing you can get it at a compounding pharmacy. Oh wait! You can’t anymore. You can’t get it anywhere. This last bottle on my desk is evidently one of the last in existence. And it’s the only thing that works. So no, I won’t just be taking the headache medicine. I’ve got to save it for when I have to function, not for when I want to feel better.

    I can make things easier for myself and I should, all my hunter-gatherer ancestors agree and they’re the only ones that matter.

      Is it more that we don’t hear about the hunter-gatherer ancestors that died by making things themselves due to survivorship bias?

        That’s a fallacy. Individuals don’t evolve, and neither do whole species; it’s populations that evolve, which for humans means tribes. Behaviours that help the tribe’s survival mean the whole tribe is favoured, even if the individuals exhibiting those behaviours never reproduce themselves. Why do you think latent genes are a thing? How do you think humans developed things like altruism?

        I don’t know, my hunter-gatherer ancestors hate me because I have no kids.

        We have a tumultuous relationship.
