I hope it gets better for you, seems like you’ve been through some incredibly rough turns this year!
I often think of the old saying “may you live in interesting times” and wish it’d be boring again; we’re all in for some more chaos I’m afraid. But what doesn’t kill you makes you tougher, stronger, harder. Hold tight, focus on pulling through day by day and hopefully that helps it feel less overwhelming. Sometimes looking at too much of the big picture can be paralyzing!
How’re you feeling about it? We’re all rooting for ya, Powder!
How’s the lymph-node feel? Sore, or no pain? I had lymphoma back in 2020, my lymph-nodes at the time weren’t sore (didn’t hurt at all, even when touching them) and were hard as rock due to the tumors. If yours are sore and not rock hard that may actually not be the worst thing, but you most definitely need to see that doctor in 9 days!
Yeah, that’s terrifying 0.0 add something like that to that flamethrower drone dog out of Ohio and we’re looking at a real nightmare.
This! And the fcking idiots who used their votes to throw a temper tantrum about Harris/Walz’s stance on Gaza are in a high likelihood of having violence enacted against them in the states or flat-out getting deported. Like they were always high on the target list, do they not remember Trump’s muslim ban? Again, stupid fking idiots who slit their own throats in protest so they could get the shoes of the people they’re angry at messy. What they’ve done is ineffective, beyond short-sighted, and self-harming. Guess we get to see if Israel decides to rip down Al-Aqsa, replace it with a Third Temple now. Wouldn’t put it past them.
No problem! :) If you do opt to try making something yourself I’m sure the folks here at Lemmy would be more than happy to check it out and give you some feedback!
Maybe it’s time you made your own project (if you’re up to it) :) time to serve that quality bisque in a bowl deserving of it lol besides, things will never change if we stay the route with Jack Welch-esque CEOs running the show; we need more indie devs, more small businesses, people who want to make something great because they’re passionate, or even just folks who want a sustainable future without strangling ourselves with the noose of “line must go up” mentality.
But also that’s a metric ton of work, and owning a project like that is certainly a risk to take!
Excellent read, albeit sobering
Rightfully worried IMO
You need to use better sources. I see a number of untrustworthy sites here, and just a Reddit post (entirely unreliable source). Also seeing a lot of straw man arguments in what you’re saying.
Try to have some nuance; the world isn’t divided into two clean sides, and multiple parties can have hostile stances towards each other at the same time. That does not mean “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” if that enemy of your enemy is also attacking you. For example, the US killed ISIS-K’s leader back in 2015; not a friendly maneuver. (Source: https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSKCN10N21L/ )
Now, Russia has actually done a lot to earn this terror group’s ire; we have the history of the Tzar’s trying to conquer Afghanistan, the Soviet Afghan War that took 10 years in the 1980’s and was Russia’s Vietnam with a massive civilian death-toll and the destruction of vast amounts of infrastructure, the wars and oppression in Chechnya, the heavy support with Russian boots on the ground for Assad in the Syrian Civil War against the civilian rebels, the ongoing extreme violence and repression of Muslims by Prighozin’s Africa Corps, and the now the forced mobilization of Russia’s ethnic minorities (many who are Muslims from Central Asia) to fight in their morally bankrupt genocide against Ukraine. China has plenty of pressure points with ISIS-K too; chiefly the ongoing Uighur genocide, hence the attacks against Chinese officials in Afghanistan.
Turns out if you do decades of terrorism against a people they might do it to you, regardless of if your country is considered “East” or “West”.
Ah yes, the people who have explicitly called the US their enemies are actually TOTALLY SECRET agents lolol jeez, talk about a baseless claim! Looks like we found our Russian/Chinese/Iranian troll in the comments doing their best to spin this as: USA bad, must be USA’s fault, west=evil.
Lmao you’ll have to try harder than that, friend.
Happily signed! Thanks for posting :)
Deck is superior to Switch! And obligatory F—- Nintendo, and their 1990’s mindset with games and hardware. I’m convinced they’ll have to financially fail to start caring. Even a 30% reduction in their sales and player counts should quickly seize their attention.
At this point 2024 is looking like the Year Of Nintendo’s Failures starting off with Palworld. They certainly deserve to fail!
Condolences friend 🙈 TBH I prefer that nice 20C weather (that’s 68F for any folks in the US reading; 40C would be 104F). Right now it’s 2.78C here (37F) and that’s unusually warm this time of year. But you are quite welcome to have a bit of our freezing rain on my behalf jk lol :p
True that! But I remember Superior being fairly icy even in the dog days of August and early September back in the ‘90’s lol it was bizarre having it feel lukewarm on my bare skin!
That’s crazy! Was just up at Superior in September and it felt surreally warm for that lake (like 60-65F, compared to the icy 45-50F it usually is even in the summer). I wonder how long before the temperatures at the lakebed begin to turn up too; normally the cold depth keeps decomposition away, but if it were to start to heat up down there, then that could all change drastically.
Thanks ☺️ I got “lucky” getting lymphoma lol it’s aggressive but thankfully effectively treatable! We caught it when it was stage 3 progressing to stage 4, and after 6 “memorable” rounds of chemo I’m 5 years out and tentatively in the clear! Helps I got it when was 27, so I was a bit more durable lmao
Tenderness ain’t a bad thing at all! Hopefully put your mind at ease a little while you wait for your appt lol
