@abreaction When it happens more than twice in multiple places and regions worldwide never mind historically, the system isn’t broken.
It’s either designed for these things to occur or it’s easily exploited.

I do think that this isn’t completely on the average Joe and Jane.
The media has to shoulder a lot of the blame, given how they misinform and sensationalise damn near everything 24/7/365.
Still, a stronger resistance is needed on the ground amongst everyday people.
Pop psych has really got people by the scruff of the neck but I suppose this was inevitable when we live in a world that has a mental health professional shortage and even less avenues for most people to access decent mental health services.
Still, I get frustrated when terminology and language around mental health is misused on a daily basis.
“Narcissistic” instead of “selfish.”
“My anxiety” instead of “uncomfortable.”
“ADHD” instead of “distracted.”
Truly, I just want people to realise that self-diagnosis is the first step of many to establishing any given conditions but… you lot aren’t trying to hear all that.
If/when the United States of America becomes a Christofascist totalitarian state, certain people will look back on moments like Unite The Right and the neo-Nazis marching in downtown Nashville and rue the day they ever told people to defeat them in “the marketplace of ideas.”
A lot of inauthentic people have had their time in the sun; usually at the expense of other people.
This year, I vow to take up so much space, the inauthentic people will believe the sun went out.
This year, I’m drawing a line in the sand.
No more fairweather friends and/or lovers. No more pseudo-intellectuals that don’t live what they preach about. No more misanthropes who use their distrust of other human beings as an excuse to cause harm to them. No more people who insist you “go to therapy” but aren’t doing so themselves (I dated someone like this… blatant hypocrite but that’s another story for another day).
No more people who want the truth, get it, and then punish the messenger for delivering it because it makes them uncomfortable. The truth has never been a weapon. It’s a mirror.
No more cowards who can’t live up to their word yet cultivate a following based on a facade.
No more.
@AshBeardguy @PhilaUnion Since always. My lads refuse to be in anything less than tsunami levels of drip.
Donald Trump may very well be the greatest fraudster and con-man the United States of America has had since Bernie Madoff… and frankly, I don’t see how anyone didn’t see this coming.
If you haven’t heard, Trump was hit with a $354 million fine and banned from applying for loans for three years as his civil lawsuit trial draws to a close. While Tangerine Mussolini is expected to appeal this (and will lose, as far as I’m concerned), his total civil penalties amount to over $400 million as things stand. It has also been reported that Donald cannot serve as director or office of any company in New York for three years.
Let this be yet another reminder than Donald has never been “good at business.” He has, however always been good at fraud.
@InfiniteHench Hard to imagine why anyone would think Xbox is being dissolved but then again, people have been constantly saying this every year since the OG Xbox launched with little to no substance behind their assertions/speculative predictions.
Only thing that raised an eyebrow for me regarding any of these announcements was the ActiBlizz stuff coming to Game Pass as I’m an Ultimate subscriber but I’m not exactly hype for it. ActiBlizz is probably my least favourite publisher and I still believe the acquisition should have been killed stone dead.
@AndyOperandi I’ve never had one in my life up until now. I’m not sure what else to do except keep putting medicated lip balm on it. 😔
As of yesterday, this is what thirty-eight looks like. Split lip and Langerhan’s cell histiocytosis sold separately.
This is thirty-eight.
@Valvecapvicky @PhilaUnion Just for the necessary. Thank you kindly.
@sullybiker Did radiation treatment in January. Chemotherapy is still on deck but we’re not sure when that will start as we still need the labs to confirm whether or not the presence of a certain protein in the biopsy samples taken via a craniotomy in late November exists. If it does, I’ll get more targeted treatment options. If not, a more generalised form of chemo will be the basis of the treatment plan going forward.
I meet with my specialist in NYC next week and I have an MRI on Friday.
Time truly waits on no one. Not a single soul.
And I turn 38 tomorrow, which is the most poignant birthday I’ve ever had given I’ve been dealing with cancer for the last three months or so (post-diagnosis).
1. I was once again correct about the San Francisco 49ers continuing their choke artistry in championship games but what I didn’t realise is that it’s exactly 30 years since they last won in the Super Bowl.
2. One of my favourite albums of all time – Taking Back Sunday’s “Where You Want To Be” – will be 20 years old this year. So too will Green Day’s “American Idiot,” Slipknot’s “Vol. 3 (The Subliminal Verses),” Linkin Park & Jay-Z’s “Collision Course,” and Senses Fail’s “Let It Enfold You.”
@ghighi Sounds like it’s worth the read for research purposes at the very least. Is there a decent English translation available?
It’s also simultaneously ironic, bizarre, annoying, and amusing to me to see the people who speak with such absolutism and conviction fall apart and nope out so easily over something I said when previously, they praised me for the stuff they do agree with.
I’m not your fucking guru nor am I here to confirm your biases. You do that better than I can.
And what I said might change! Gasp! Shock! Horror!
Imagine that. Things are seldom as finite as you presume because I too am a work in progress.
