I'm going to college right now and I've been getting messages from recruiters lately. They literally text me from their work numbers now.

I prefer the beige color without any added dyes.

Cyberpunk 2077 exists, though it may not be the best example.

Why do you need so many copies?

You're not wrong. I've been sober for a long time and no longer go to support groups. If AA helped you then that's fantastic. I just think that there should be an alternative that's not based on religion.

Yes it literally is. Or at the very least you have to "submit yourself to a higher power"

SMART Recovery is a non-Christian substance abuse support group. Though it can be difficult to find an in-person meeting because AA is so prevalent.

"In 2022, J&J made $17.9 billion in profits, and its CEO received $27.6 million in compensation. That year, the company spent $17.8 billion on stock buybacks, dividends, and executive compensation, while the company spent just $14.6 billion on R&D, the report states. "In other words, the company spent $3.2 billion more enriching executives and stockholders than finding new cures," it concludes.

In 2022, Bristol Myers Squibb also spent $3.2 billion more on stock buybacks, dividends, and executive compensation than R&D—$12.7 billion on executives and stockholders compared with $9.5 billion on R&D. That year, the company made $6.3 billion in profits, and its former CEO made $41.4 million in compensation."

It's pretty clear where these corporations' priorities lie. I wonder how much of their R&D was funded by US taxpayers.
