I would assume the Liver cancer they mentioned is the terminal disease they’re referring to. It sounds like the guy has multiple chronic health conditions, which isn’t all that uncommon.

To give some perspective on why this is the case from an American, it isn’t that a bunch of parents are asking / going out of their way to get this done, it’s that the doctors almost always offer it with the justification that it’s a preventative measure against infections, and the parents generally don’t question it due to how commonplace it is already. The cultural reasons that started this haven’t been popular for decades and it’s only the medical establishment that’s keeping this going.

Could be a Yellow American Blusher (Amanita Flavorubins), would need a close-up of the gills and a region to be sure.

Possibly Sunshine Amanita (Amanita Aprica) if this is in the PNW.

They absolutely asked an LLM to create a list of acronyms for them and picked that out of the lineup.

I’m making this comment with a OnePlus 6T I got 8 years ago when it was new and it has never needed repairs, so I wouldn’t exactly call it dogshit. Even the battery still lasts a couple days of heavy use before needing a charge, though that may have more to do with my efforts in reducing software overhead over the years. (Also making sure almost everything I ever view on it has an AMOLED dark background)

You’re a moron if you think Hamas surrendering would stop Israel from carrying out their genocide. They have fully committed to the ethnic cleansing of Gaza and nothing short of the international community using military force will stop them now.

Feels like a curse in today’s world, honestly.

How are you feeling now that Italy and Spain have both abandoned the flotilla after they attempted to redirect aid into Israel’s hands and the flotilla refused?

I assume they’re referring to how the presence of frogs is an indicator as to the cleanliness of the water. If the river is highly polluted no frogs will be present.

Gender is a performance and Nick Offerman is a very good performer.

And what a great job they’re doing! There’s definitely no double standards here, oh no. *cough Israel *cough.

NATO only acts to prevent the expansion of the United States’ rival imperial powers, like Russia and China. It’s nothing more than a military alliance of western powers to maintain US hegemony. It’s all well and good that it resists and deters Russia imperialism in Europe, but it has zero interest in stopping US imperialism in the middle east as carried out by the US’ favorite proxy state and stationary aircraft carrier, Israel. NATO isn’t attempting to maintain peace in Europe out of a genuine desire to protect human life, but simply to preserve the status quo and balance of power.

And if you’re wondering how Trump wanting to leave NATO fits into all this, it’s precisely because NATO preserves the balance of power. He thinks he can benefit from destabilizing the political climate of the world because he’s a scumbag who takes advantage of chaos to advance his interests, and he doesn’t care if other authoritarian leaders are able to do the same. The US could lose global standing, but that’s a risk he’s willing to take if it helps him consolidate power internally.

Personally after seeing it a couple times I can read it naturally, but I can see how that’s not the case for everyone. I think the fear of difference and assumption that it’s for attention are big reasons for the hate, but I have another theory as well. I think a lot of people use the threadiverse in a similar way to Tiktok, moving quickly from post to post and skimming comments mindlessly such that they get very annoyed when they come across something that breaks their flow. You’re interrupting their dopamine stream and that makes them cranky, lol.

God forbid anyone do something a little different I guess. Reminds me of the way people used to treat kids who were into anime in my high school. They would use Japanese honorifics from time to time and were ruthlessly mocked and bullied for it. I wish humans weren’t like this, there’d be a little more joy and fun in the world.

You chose to be here, to read their comment, and to complain about it. You’re wasting your own time, and that’s not their fault. Have some self discipline and take responsibility for what you choose to do with your time.

Why is it so annoying to you? I struggle to understand why people get so worked up about a simple letter swap.

Every time I see you around you’re always getting dogpiled with downvotes and there’s always someone who replies just to complain about the thorn. What’s your take on why it seems to bother people so much? You seem to have attracted a following of virulent haters who for whatever reason feel personally affronted by your style choice.

Ah, I love poetry. Did you write this?

Sounds like a description of an artwork in Rimworld.

You’re getting carried away with the conspiracy speculation, not everything is a false flag. I can understand why you would want to believe it, but you’re ignoring tons of details that don’t fit the narrative. The biggest issue with the false flag explanation are the suspects themselves, who would have been terrible choices for patsies. The false flag theory just falls apart when you consider their bizarre backgrounds and motives, both for the attempted Trump assassination and the Charlie Kirk assassination.

This animation isn’t just sped up, it’s also simplified. In reality they don’t take steady, purposeful steps. They spaz out with random vibrations (Brownian motion) until the “foot” clicks into place by random chance, then the other one releases and the process repeats. It’s like shaking a container filled with legos until they assemble themselves. The proteins are just shaped in such a way that “walking” is the most probable outcome.
