Thank you! I was so worried he wouldn’t make it through the infection. I thought it was going to be much worse, after I first realized he was attacked by something. I’m surprised, and glad, to see how fast his face healed. He isn’t completely healed yet. His jaw bone is still heavily infected, and teeth need to be removed. It’s going to be a long summer.
Please don’t use my name in online comments. I appreciate your view on that, but I feel that having a shaved head is more hygienic. It also has allowed me to point out the difference in head shape and features between myself and the two individuals who raised me. It’s a family discussion that has been delayed for far too long throughout my life. When people comment about my shaved head now, I like to remind them that many people lose their hair to cancer and the rest of the world should help them to feel as though being bald is normal, too. It’s a normal hair style. Let’s start accepting it as normal. Speaking of which, have you joined National Marrow Donor Program yet?
Please remove my name from your comment. I reported your comment as possible doxxing since I don’t recognize your username. I didn’t share my first name with you through Lemmy. I don’t believe I know you outside of Lemmy. Do I need to contact a site mod to have you remove this?
Thank you! Glad it made someone laugh today. I was just so done with this dryer door, I thought, “can my old keychains fit these holes?” Yep! They did! I am so not buying a new dryer between paychecks. It’s going to be a few good paychecks before I can even think of buying one. We’re going to keep using it until it can’t be repaired in every respect.
Watch public college sports; where the athletes are unpaid, the revenue benefits a university, and the institution might one day offer your own child a scholarship, or financial aid.
I had public college softball in mind when I wrote this. They aren’t billionaires. With all of the attention that baseball and football receive, they would just appreciate the fans being there to support them in the stands, let alone the money made from ticket sales.
I’m sure you’ll be asking your first responder this question while he or she is in the middle of performing CPR on you, and calling for an AED, right? You’re not regretting the discovery of 30-2, are you?
I don’t think I misunderstood. You see dropping dead as your prize for losing in some type of social Darwin competition. You don’t see medical advances and life saving measures as being part of our evolution, as a species, to better survive? No offense, but regardless of how you feel about being resuscitated, some paramedic, or other first responder is still going to try to save your life. They can’t exactly stop the process and ask you for your opinion if you have no pulse, dude.
First of all, it isn’t “bro”. Secondly, I’m trying to make a point that valuing the mental capabilities of people is worth mentioning, when the OP seems to dwell on the physical worth of a human. Part of the evolutionary process is long-term problem solving skills, isn’t it? We create ways to resuscitate people, cures for diseases, and solutions for other medical problems. OP insists that gives us weaker people that continue living in our society? Weaker in what regard? If all cancer is suddenly cured, then which people are weaker? I knew a girl that had an intellectual disability, but was fairly physically fit. She could run well, and walked and talked as well as most people. Would you want to encourage her to have children, while discouraging some woman with breast cancer from having children?
I think I understood OP fairly well. I just question if he wants to limit procreation amongst the disabled. Remember that Hitler wanted to do that.
Yeah, I guess college biology textbooks and Charles Darwin’s origin of species weren’t enough for me. I shouldn’t try to stop OP’s hint at arguing against letting people with physical disabilities breed.
Until about a day later when you realize it had absolutely no fiber and you should have paired it with a salad, or something, instead of eating just cheese.
Yeah, it’s called every pregnant woman’s blood draw sample for testing gestational diabetes. Not to mention all of the other blood draws. Does she believe that DOJ isn’t sent dna off of nearly every blood draw that doctors, and hospitals, make? Considering how many surnames and faces repeat in politics, I bet the feds all keep track of who is breeding so well, that they can predict when the next baby will be born to which family. The only ones they probably can’t forecast, after so many decades of watching families breed in this country, are the migrants that cross the border while pregnant.
Not a crime. I used to mix peanut butter in my low fat, unflavored, Greek yogurt and then mix in jam. I did this after weight training as a high protein breakfast. The jam just added some flavor and sweetness.
I don’t eat chips that often but it’s a tie between these All Dressed Ruffles I’ve had in America and the Tatos in Ireland.
Apparently, the All Dressed is really popular in Canada.
I think you can order them at Walmart.com. They are tough to find in stock in some stores. They are worth trying if you’ve never had them. Just fair warning, they are super addictive, and they aren’t that healthy.
Since my husband vanished and apparently left his ID to his friends, I guess I should just tell everyone that my life flipped a d_ck. I could say it made a u-turn, but it sounds too much like the slogan on the sign of a local church. It was down the street from the church we used to attend together. Maybe their “God allows u-turns” sign was just their congregation’s way of telling me to flip a d_ck before it was too late.
When you go through the divorce process sometimes you flip a house, sometimes you flip a car, …and sometimes, well, you know…
Well, apparently the word never meant anything bad when it was originally put to that phrase, but now I have to edit it out because it means something else these days.
Trust me, I would have rather been in the business of flipping ducks, as some kind of duck farmer, than feeling like Book of Job and losing everything after my husband flipped his life and everything he owned to his friends.
Edited to add this: Singapore math insists however, that we eliminate the use of visuals in describing arithmetic within the rationals. They encourage that users of common core rely upon the number line, and solely the number line for thorough and most mathematically sound representations of arithmetic, even when involving the division of fractions.
For those not up to speed to with common core, remember how the teacher used to draw a diagram of a bunny hopping from one integer to the next integer to represent adding given integers, such as 4+3, or -2+1? Imagine that representation being used with problems like 1/7 divided by 5/49, and no decimal approximation is allowed. It’s fascinating and truly something to appreciate from the standpoint of someone who truly loves mathematics. I think it makes for great discussions amongst math graduates like myself, and other math enthusiasts. What does that mean for those who are not so enthused? Sometimes it means the teacher receives death threats from angry students. You can’t make everyone happy.
I get that. I like the number line approach, and respect it, but I have also observed seasoned math coaches fumble the visual explanation of a division by fractions problem where the numerators and denominations were relatively prime. As soon as the guy had drawn the first fraction and began to say, “we’d multiply by the recipro-…”, I could tell it was going to be long problem. He just stood there, and then asked, “well, how would I go about explaining the ‘keep change flip’, if you will?” He ended the problem by saying he might just explain that the distance drawn for the first fraction needs to be repeated on the other side of the fraction to show the multiplication by the denominator of the second fraction, and then that distance could be broken into parts to demonstrate the division by the previous numerator of the second fraction.
Basically he ended the problem by saying, “let’s just reflect it! Then we can break it up.” There wasn’t really a sound justification for the reflection piece of the process, other than saying, “we need to multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction, so we’ll just have to multiply by its denominator it had, prior to flipping it.”
That was the quietest meeting I have ever seen amongst that group of adults.

You sound like felon with the language you use. Maybe you should get that checked out. You also sound uneducated. I doubt you earned a degree in psychology. You would need to pass a test in English before reaching that point.

Yep. I agree. I’ve been bullied on Lemmy for sharing the fact that I have been bullied in my own home town because local law enforcement hired exes of mine who have abused their law enforcement powers. I now have a person, or group, that follows each of my posts and comments to immediately downvote them, even if they aren’t even controversial. I just receive an automatic downvote. That pales in comparison to the verbal bashing I’ve received from that group, or person. Each time I speak out, I have this one commenter that tells me that I’m crazy and need meds to make me shut up about having been abused by an ex that was hired by our local sheriff’s department. I wonder if they sniffed my phone to follow my account. I guess that would be crazy and just earn me more hateful comments from “random” people on Lemmy, huh? My question is, do I blame Lemmy as a whole, or will people on here finally admit that some certain local in my area is stalking my account?
When comments have become as bad as “strangers” telling me to “get raped with a rusty lawn mower blade”, I have to wonder if it’s all coming from the same IP address and if the mods even care.
True, there are some people that just downvote everything, for no reason. I get that. I guess what made me worry was the fact that I had comments in Lemmy News telling me they hope I get raped with a rusty lawn mower blade, followed by someone downvoting all of my past comments in succession after that comment. I figured it was the person who made that comment.
I did report it. I should check to see if it was removed. Honestly, I haven’t thought about it much. I have had other things to do, and it just wasn’t on my mind lately.

No. I typically call trolls users that lie. Nothing I have said on Lemmy is a lie. I think this part of Lemmy just digs through each OP’s posts and comments to find out what gender they are, and then they proceed to attack the OP, if OP is female. I won’t bother posting here anymore. It’s just a good ol’ boys club for men to upvote one another.
I never threatened to hurt myself. I haven’t threatened to hurt others. This post is hours old. What did you do, dig through my account to harass me? I guess I’ll report your comment as abusive since you’re trying to frame me for threats I didn’t make.
I know that most biologists would call it a fetus. Before that it’s an embryo. Before that, it’s a blastocyst. The funny part is, if a fetus is born early at around 6months (even earlier in some cases) it’s called a premature baby, and can survive outside of the womb with the help of a good NICU. At what point would you stop calling it a “meat bean”?
