I was one of them.
15·2 months agoI’m currently in treatment for Hodgin Lymphoma. An old friend that I rarely see volunteered to take me to chemo every two weeks for six months. We have really good visits while I’m in the chair. Last week I got out my tablet and showed him my farm in Minecraft. I don’t like being asked how I’m doing or how I’m feeling because literally everyone asks and I get tired of answering. I prefer, “Do you need anything?” or “Can I help in any way?” I’m not good at asking for help. A friend who I have helped several times just showed up with her partner and four kids and their partners and got our place ready for fall. One of the kids partners was a plumber and he installed a couple of sinks for us. We have a bunch of people around us who have offered to help and meant it. One got up early and drove my son and his bike to school two days after chemo. Another has done groceries for us and taken my wife grocery shopping because she doesn’t drive. If you offer to help mean it and do anything you can to help. Otherwise, just be there and do things other than talk about cancer. Normalcy is welcome. If she wants to talk, talk. If she just wants you to be there, be there.
In the days before *nx, “terminal” meant a VT terminal and “clear” wasn’t a thing.

Is one of my favorites. Of course, most of you are too young to know what that means.
26 when your brain is almost certainly fully myelenated to 65 since the future of young people is far more effected by elected officials than the futures of retired people.
This is rage bait. How many times a year would this happen? Two? Three? There are more important things to talk about. That’s why they’re taking about this
It violates noise laws where I live. I have called the police because my neighbours were having drunken, obscenity filled screaming matches on their driveway at 3 am. The police have come and told them to knock it the fuck off or they will drag one of them off the jail each time. They haven’t done it outside where they can disturb their neighbours, we are far from the closest, since the third or fourth time I did that.

Also NSFV for not suitable for vegans for anything involving animals, meat, or animal processing. That way we can tag those posts and if they complain about them we know they’re just raging because they’re insufferable assholes.
EDIT: Don’t get me wrong, I’m not suggesting that all vegans are insufferable assholes. I know a bunch of vegans who are awesome people. I’m just suggesting that the ones who rage at people who don’t share their beliefs and who try to shove their beliefs down other people’s throats are insufferable assholes.
EDIT 2: Oh no, I’ve upset the insufferable assholes! Oh wait, this is Lemmy and their downvotes don’t mean anything!
I had a traveling farm hand from France who had never been trick or treating. She was 34. She was super excited to go so we took her when we took our kids out. At each house I said, “She’s 34 and from France and has never been trick or treating.” She got a bunch of candy and was very pleased.
