Yeah, thats the question many antidepressants put on you…

Don’t like the fuzziness of the skin, but I know you can eat it all.

Same as some people peel apples and some don’t. Eat it how you want and don’t worry what others do/think.

I’m not criticising that police couldn’t find him themselves. My issue is with the statement, that this is an outcome they “strive” for as if finding him after 70 years (SEVENTY) was an ideal outcome in a child abduction case. As if this was the most they aim for.

I hope to get a refund for my train ticket from last Thursday where the train was just cancelled.

Online request didn’t work, so I have to go to the train station today and waste even more of my time.

Oakland police acknowledged that Alequin’s efforts “played an integral role in finding her uncle” and that “the outcome of this story is what we strive for”.

That’s a really weird statement. Oaklands police strives for no leads and a cold case for 70 years, leaving the mother in uncertainty until her death and then the family finding the missing person themselves?

I mean its great, that he was found well and alive, but if that is what your police strives for… the bar is like underground.

Idk. When I worked oncology all our prostate patients were very young men way before 40.

But thats anecdotal. I don’t have any numbers. But whats the worst thing that can happen when you get a prostate check? That they don’t find anything?

Do every test available for prevention and prophylaxis.
Get your general practitioner to do a full health check, ECG, EEG, cardiac ultrasound, a full blood panel, bloodpressure, pulmonary function, skin cancer prevention ect.
Schedule a gastroscopy and colonoscopy.
Check in with an urologist to get your prostate and urinary tract checked.
If you can, get a full body scan. Either PET or MRI.

Nearly every serious disease or health issue is easier prevented or treated when caught before it casues real issues.
Every cancer there is, has a better outcome and is easier treated when found early. Most of them are silent until very late in the game.

This is something I would recommend to anyone: Take advantage of every preventative messure or examination that is available to you!
There is no illness that you can detect too early.

I’m not American, but in my culture it is not that deep rooted, that you have to care for your parents.
Maybe because we have a public pension system. But when the pension is not enough and a person has to relay on social security authorities will check the income of all direct relatives. Depending on your income you are obligated to support your kids and parents.

Biden/Kamala

Not just the current vice president. The current President of the United States.

Easy to forget in this lunacy of an election campaign, but Biden is still president.

Did lemmy do something in the meantime to keep bots out?

If a lot of them can’t operate anymore like before they wouldn’t count as active users anymore either and would explain discrepancies, or not?

Not that I know anything about how bots or websites work tbh.

I’m listening to the audiobook of In the Time of the Butterflies by Julia Alvarez.Its based on real people in the time of the Trujillo Dictatorship in the Dominican Republic. Its a fictionalised account on the life of the Mirabal sisters who were executed by the regime in 1960.

And I just finished I Saw Her That Night by Slovenian author Drago Jančar. Its coincidentally also based on true events, in WW2 Slovenia. Honestly I read it, because I haven’t found any other books for the Slovenia category of my “Read around the world” challenge. I’m glad it wasn’t very long.

Oh no. King Jaffe Joffer of Zamunda is dead!

Sesame Street in mourning.

Because… drugs.

By your standards sisters would be okay or an uncle with his nephew. Its totally up to you, if you want to fuck your mother as long as she is postmenopausal?

Idk dude. I’m kinda not with you on this.

Edit: oh wait! If you get a vasectomy/tubes tied, you can fuck the whole family…

What the actual fuck America?! How can you JUSTICE SYSTEM do this to people. To children?!

Kudos to the mother. I hope her sacrifice is successful in keeping these kids out of these so called “therapy sessions”.

Its sad to be a trump supporter everywhere.

I have seen the one or the other, but they were immediately down voted into oblivion.

She probably has a contract. you can not just stop paying things because you don’t like it anymore, you have to follow the terms of that contract. Otherwise every payment you skipp is a debt to the other party and hey can sue you for breaking the contract and for backpay of the payments you skipped.

In your example with netflix, the contract you enter into when signing up for their service specifically states, that you can leave it monthly and Netflix lets you do that by not paying anymore.

This is part of Netflix’s concept as a service provider and doesn’t mean its the same in other services.

If its something that you do for your own enjoyment and fun, its totaly okay to just leave it be, if you don’t like it.

If its something that you do to better yourself, I think it’s different and you should sometimes stick with it to see an outcome. Something that might give you better job opportunities, that makes you healthier, that makes you a better person, that makes your life easier or better if you stick it.

Don’t give up on everything, because humans need to develop themselves, they need to grow and learn. If you just stop where you are and give up on any personal growth you will be unhappy with yourself and your life one day.

Think of your future self before quiting something and what that activity could do for future you.
