Find something outside of tech field eventually (currently employed but getting increasingly tired of staring at various sorts of slop, and where the field is headed), if nothing at all pans out, find a rock cut i can drive into.

And vice versa, struggled with years and years of depression in the past, and teetering on the edge of it on and off since, whilst having good grip strength.
Same. Dealing with depression for years. Joining a BJJ class taught me I have abnormally strong grip strength for someone who otherwise isn't fit at all.
To me having tolls on roads or bridges sounds completely insane (we don't have them here, other than one ferry during summer), taxes are already supposed to pay for those (and if they started doing that here, you can be 100% certain that no tax would be lowered in compensation).
It is funny that it seems acceptable to you that paying tolls for (some) roads, which means only those who use them pay for them, seems unacceptable, "insane" even, while using taxes from everyone is acceptable.
Especially given 99.99%* of tolled roads are purely convenience ones: highways, large bridges over estuaries or chasms one used to route around...

You don't mention your country - what is the situation there wrt. medical expenses?
Medical expenses?
Public healthcare, but there are per-visit costs in the 20€ range, somewhat more for hospital stays, maximum per year 815€, after that they become free.
People often have employer-provided private healthcare on top of that though, including me.
For prescription medicines there is a 636€ limit per year (after 70€ per year the cost of the medication starts being reimbursable even before that), after that any medication costs 2.5€ per purchase.
Was worried it would be worse, all i get from it is that stuff with a lot of fats might cause more frequent visits to the bathroom (something one might not want to eat anyway all that often), before i could not eat a slice of pizza without an attack.
I truly wish i could get everything to use the ticking clock one at 1Hz (or maybe 0.5) for spinners, animation in user interfaces causes me anguish in general, so i have to go around filtering them on webapps.
As a quick kludge use an USB-C wlan network adapter that lacks the functionality for this type of connection (albeit that won't help you with a cellular connection)?
The only game hack I've ever discovered by myself (by being too cowardly to proceed through the main route when I was little, wasting time instead on the unatco base, and mindlessly throwing grenades around).
It doesn't work anymore in modern mods I've played through; they've patched it.
