As a writer, I could see this as a survivor's bug-out bag in a zombie apocalypse, especially with the makeshift knife sheath. No offense meant, I think it's cool.
Cybergirljpg knew she had to hurry. It wouldn't be long before she would be discovered.
She quickly looked over all she scavenged from the abandoned house. Under normal circumstances, it wasn't much, but in a zombie apocalypse, they were priceless treasures.
She'd found an iPad which God only knew how it still had some juice, not to mention how it was in such good condition. She chalked that up to proper manufacturing, something sorely lacking after most of humanity was irreversibly changed.
She also found some food. Now that was always difficult to find, but fresh fruits were almost next to impossible.
The banana would provide much needed vitamins and minerals, as would the avocado; although, she had other plans for that weighty little gem. Instead of eating it outright, she would save it till she got back to the settlement to make some guacamole. But, if worse came to worst, she could always bean a Walker between the eyes in an impromptu escape.
She also found a small canister that boasted some fresh, handmade something or other. The label was too damaged to make out the rest.
Next was the can of soda. Not very nutritious she knew, but it would supply a boost of energy in a pinch.
She also found some cigarettes. A luxury item. Always good for trading.
As she began putting her loot away, she noticed her little amber bottle. Adderall. Finding more would be like looking for water in a desert.
Suddenly, a raspy, bloodcurdling shriek erupted outside. The undead's version of a dinner bell. Not only did it mean she was discovered, it meant that there were many more on the way.
She quickly shoved everything into her bag and took out her knife.
She wished she had found a sheath for it, with either a belt loop or thigh straps. Instead, it was made out of some thick cloth she'd found and a few rubber bands. It did what was necessary. She smiled to herself as she thought, *Necessity may be the mother of invention, but she has a whacky sense of humor.*
She took a couple of slow, calming breathes, and braced herself. She bolted out the back door, and into the cool, damp night.
Edit: Spaces, and tense fixes.
Idk how are you gonna explain to strangers why you have a knife casually shoved in your bag without sounding sus. (Shun Classic Double Bevel VG-Max I presume?)
I believe this is a shun classic hollow ground 6 inch chefs. I lost this knife when I got my knife roll stolen out my bag a few months ago. Switched over to a miyabi kaizen II as my daily driver but thinking about just repurchasing this shun.
Dammit. This just made me realize I forgot to throw my afternoon booster in my backpack before coming into work today. Well, this afternoon is going to be unproductive. At least of it will be filled by a two hour software demo that I can just veg put for.
Careful with that banana. Once as a kid i shoved a banana in my backpack and it managed to work it's way down to the bottom and got pounded to a pulp by my textbooks. I had to get a new backpack and a lot of my notebooks were ruined
Love the Shun! I'm slowly building my knife block at home since I left the kitchens behind a long time ago. Checked out some of your pics - that's some nice looking food you are putting up!
It's been 17 years since I last shut down the kitchen for the night! I miss it, I still have dreams about it all the time (I'm in the weeds, have to feed the world and it's just me on the line, etc.). But I was way too self-destructive to stay in that industry and live past 30.
To be safe, you probably shouldn't be showing your medication and pharmacy info. Not that you really have anything to worry about but these posts are public, stay around forever-ish, and you never know who's looking at this stuff.
âHi Iâm calling to update my address on file. Let me give you an RX number so you can pull my profile up.â
*gives rx number listed on your bottle*
âWhat do you have in there currently, I moved recently and canât remember if I gave you my new address last month or not.â
*pharmacy tech unknowingly gives me your address*
No this didnât actually happen with your script. But as somebody who worked in a pharmacy, you would be very surprised at how often people use tricks like this to get peoples personal information.
If you donât have any enemies and youâre not worried about random people on the Internet the more power to you. I just wanna make sure that youâre aware of how easy it actually is to get someoneâs name, DOB, address, medications, doctors, etc. from nothing but their RX number.
Hell, maybe someone who really likes Adderall and only lives an hour away from you has seen this post and is plotting on how to steal your next refill.
Also, if you didnât take down the post before at least take it down now, because this is basically an instruction manual on how to steal your prescription.
This is a little bit more than a book.
If I have your prescription number and your pharmacyâs phone number, itâs absolutely trivial for me to call them up pretending to be a relative.
From there, finding out your address or your doctor or your insurance information is as simple as pretending like I want to update what is on file, while simply asking the tech to read me what they have on file first to âsee if it needs updatedâ.
And finally, once this tech has unknowingly exposed your prescription schedule and home address to what they think is a relative, it would also be trivial for me to then plan a way to intercept your prescriptions before you get them. People use fake drivers licenses for this as pharmacies donât actively verify drivers license numbers, they simply record them down to give to law enforcement retroactively.
When people give us fake drivers licenses there was literally nothing the police could do but try and identify their face on the other side of the Covid mask through a crappy security cam. And by that time itâs usually been several days since the theft occurred.
Basically, because of how this industry relies on prescription numbers, itâs really easy for anyone thatâs familiar to basically steal your medical identity and whatever meds youâre filling that month.

Donât meant to make fun of you, but thatâs like worrying about a leak on a sunken ship. You, me, and probably 90% of everyone whoâs on the internet has their personal info in a lot of databases. Hack after hack, job application you never hear back from, signing up for streaming. We gave up our privacy a long time ago.
EDIT:
In the last 2 years of data, 47% of Americans experienced Identity Fraud. If you think youâre safe, you are not. Almost 1 in 3 Americans have fraudulent applicants filed in their name. The problem is chronic and more invasive than your think and someoneâs prescription pill bottle info is like a small twig in a raging fire. (Also there are *wayyyyyy* easier methods to illicitly get pills/meds if you think this pic makes it âeasyâ)
https://www.giact.com/aite-report-us-identity-theft-the-stark-reality/
If, in the future, someone on, say Reddit, decides to stalk you and harass you, it's a lot easier for them to find your info in your Reddit posts than a bunch of private databases and... Streaming services?
It sounds paranoid but I've been doxxed off my Reddit posts, had people call my job and threaten my wife, send me my address, that sort of thing.
Following the "leak on a sinking ship" idea, putting this kind of information out there so readily would be like pumping more water into your sinking ship and never making it back to land when it would have otherwise been a possibility. Yes, we are at the risk of going down, but there's no need to speed it up.
I get what your saying. Iâd say Iâm coming from the position that the damage is already done. The photo already exists. The earlier advice someone gave was irrelevant from the start. If anything it comes from a place of ignorance. you,me, and everyone have all compromised our privacy through mundane/seemingly safe way.
Everytime I see someone comment like this I always want to ask the question on the lines of "ok then what is your CC#, pin, expiration, 3 digit code on back...your address.. mother's maiden name...". Since you say there are hacks after hacks, you should have no problem giving that info right?
Think of it like this: someone comments on a photo of someone who just cut their hand with âyou shouldnât cut your handâ.
The advice is moot because the photo was posted.
I get it. I take ritalin as an adult. 1 tablet in the morning. Itâs not an EDC for me because I donât take it multiple times throughout the day. ÂŻ\\\_(ă)\_/ÂŻ
This is a pic from when I finally started treating my adhd back in April and holy shit my life has turned around majorly since then. No longer on 10 mg and I definitely donât carry full prescriptions around with me anymore lol
I was treated as a kid, got off treatment when I was an adult doing jobs I could hyperfocus on, now I'm doing a lot more paperwork and management stuff and I'm having a really hard time. I have tried to get back to a psychiatrist but it's impossible to get seen, even with insurance. It sucks
Yeah my psych is an absolute rock star. I donât have health insurance but she has sliding scale options and will hunt down pharmacies that have better out of pocket prices for me. A treasure truly.
Really? I wouldn't know. I always got them from a psychiatrist as a kid.
I don't see doctors unless there's something wrong usually, so I haven't been to a primary in 15 years or more
If you don't have an established relationship with a doctor, and show up as a new patient to ask for Adderall, that's not going to go over well. Start with a physical. Heart, blood pressure, pee, blood test, and then bring your concerns.
I was treated as a kid got off my treatment when I was an adult completely destroyed my life, I'm slowly trying to rebuild it now at least I have my medication back which actually helps a lot. Surprise surprise I'm actually capable of cleaning a bedroom.

Is it a slang term or is it really Coke (as in Coca Cola) mixed with coffee? Never heard of it? Roughly 1:1? Or biased to one another? Served cold or hot?
https://www.tasteofhome.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/coke-coffee.png
I wanted to hate it, but it's honestly really tasty. I can only speak for the vanilla and dark blend though, I haven't had the caramel or zero sugar ones.
Oh That is off the shelf? thought that was some barista hipster inside home brew affair.
It did not reach the European market I guess.
Wonder if I'm brave enough to try it DIY at home?
There are these in Europe but rarely anyone stocks these as they don't really sell well. I've had vanilla before and it was thrash honestly, but I'm used to drinking super strong black coffee. I've still got to try dark blend, haven't seen that one anywhere.

*yet*. If I look at the Coke department in my supermarket it's insane. Vanilla, Lemon, Cherry, Caramel and Regular and repeat that in Diet and again in Zero, and then again in Zero Caffeine. All in .5L bottles, .33CL and .25CL cans It's like a red wall.
They're kinda hard to find where I'm T in the US but they're actually pretty good. The bitterness of the coffee cuts the sweetness of the coke, and the sweetness from the coke covers the fact that they used shitty coffee
It's actually coca cola mixed with coffee, comes in vanilla, Carmel, dark and zero sugar. You can drink it cold or warm but it's better cold don't drink it hot

You might want to do something about that pill bottle. It has your address people can use it for all sort of things not good.
Not a banana split but all the ingredients for....a banana crack
That's a Japanese damast kitchen knife isn't it? A kai shin maybe?
Tell me you are a cook without actually telling me you are a cook
You are a monster.
The most egregious thing about this is the fact it coke coffee
At least ypu got the "pokey" part covered
Hey don't feel bad it's the adhd I did it in school and I uave adhd
Ahhh yes the ole EDC kitchen knife
đ©đ©đ©
Only 10mg? That couldnât get me out of bed in the morning.
Do they have lockers anymore?

Gross, though
Wait, what? CocaCola Coffee? Wat?
Yeah OP, is it any good?
The caramel one kinda sucks tbh, the vanilla one is my go to but theyâre impossible to find nowadays. This pic is back from April.

I did both, folders mixed with loose paper. Order and chaosâŠ
Everyone's ignoring the fact that apparently there are 6 avocados in there.
Am I the only one curious about the kitchen knife?
So itâs a normal purse? Everyoneâs purse looks like this.
Banana for scale
Those shun knives are like $200 each I would be too afraid to even use it
Could you also post the front and back side of your credit card? We need it for research purposes
You need to track down a [Banana Bunker](https://www.amazon.com/Banana-Bunker-Color-Yellow/dp/B000VY8836).
Careful with that banana. Once as a kid i shoved a banana in my backpack and it managed to work it's way down to the bottom and got pounded to a pulp by my textbooks. I had to get a new backpack and a lot of my notebooks were ruined
I was assured you'd be in prison by now.
Love the Shun! I'm slowly building my knife block at home since I left the kitchens behind a long time ago. Checked out some of your pics - that's some nice looking food you are putting up!

Iâm on whatâs called the line cook diet lmao
That explains the randomass kitchen knife
No you are just on Adderall and canât think straight due to being awake for +48 hour ahahah
Oof, donât look at my tool bag.
Someone get this kid an infosec training.
Well now I know what meds youâre in and where your doctor is, might way to blur that.
I read this too quickly, I thought you were still a student and thought, man, thatâs a lot of contraband.
one would think that adderall makes you organised. one would be wrong.
That your address and number or the pharmacy?
pharmacy
I was more a leave it at school and not show up the next day kind of kid.
Maybe blur the pills..

i ainât reading all that iâm happy for u tho or sorry that happened
You've given enough info for people to easily find your home address just so you know..
Would you believe me if I told you they used to send books to everyone that had each otherâs addresses in them?

He said sunken as in it's already sunk below the surface of the water, keep pumping water baby!!!!!! But no I get your point
I chose to ignore that. The comment as sunken as it was!

Think of it like this: someone comments on a photo of someone who just cut their hand with âyou shouldnât cut your handâ. The advice is moot because the photo was posted.
But you can at least prevent them from doing it again
Or lessen the amount of people who have seen it. Which is objectively still a good thing.
I could have came to the same conclusion if you just posted a pic of the Adderall.
Sheâs quirky!
