It's not much, but if you're interested in prosthetics at all you could possibly be on the front line for testing with those robotic arms that are wired to your nervous system.

That would be kind of neat to do in my opinion.

Pun intended, that's something beyond my reach. Wound isn't even healed yet and it'd likely be massively dangerous to attempt any kind of procedure like that while still dealing with both cancer and chemo. If it were a possibility it's about as far away as me walking on my own two feet with no aid.

Yeah, I wasn't thinking it would be something that you would do right now. It was more of something you could look into when you fully recover if that kind of thing interested you at all.

Maybe. Personally I was thinking of something more durable. I've an inkling that those robotic ones can't handle a chainsaw with the neccessary strength or finesse.

Non robo would at list have the strength.

That's not true at all but whatever.

Guess I'll have something to look into.

May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December, January.

Been stuck to a hospital bed for 8 months. 9 if I can beat January. More I think about it the more it gets to me. I've been here for 8 months. I've done nothing. I wake up when the staff show up. I wake up when I'm in discomfort. I sleep. That's about it. I've grown fed up of watching TV. Whatever I could do previously is tough now because I'm doing it with only one arm.

I know the reality of this. It'll take years to get out of here. I'm not even through treatment yet. This is just a pause to let me recover before things go again. The amount of physical therapy it's going to take to get me back to what I was before coming in here is anybody's guess.

I appreciate everything that the staff have done here for me. Believe me I appreciate what's been given by other people to keep me alive. Literal blood and bone. But I would be lying if I said there wasn't a part of me that wants to just close my eyes and hope that I don't wake up to one more day of this.

I don't even know how I'm suppossed to deal with months to years of this. And I know that none of you here have anything to offer for help let alone anything you can likely even say. But, being here like this is getting to me.

I'm watching your mom undress

nice

She just got a new knee, she's basically a cyborg

She'll need hip replacements after Chally's done with her.

Is that slang for John Wick? Because that movie had neon in it.

Shouldn't have given him and his ilk the satisfaction of his becoming a martyr. This would have been a lovely time to make use of that nasty little caveat of the 13th amendment..

Story time with Sandtrap.

There were some murders in my province this year. A kid shot up some other kids at school. News outlets in my province did something interesting. They didn't share the name of the shooter, nor the family. News reported the events and the town it took place in, but not once was a name ever mentioned.

You martyr people when you name them.

Take meta's approach. One gun, one bullet, right in the back of the head, done and over with. Take the media approach my province used. Report the incident, but use no name.

Yeah. One thing I noticed when I watched it. Wondering if it was just me. I'm no expert on bullets.

Was there any particular reason that almost all scenes with heavier caliber guns firing had a really off putting tinge of colour to them? And noticable too.



Guess it's not just me. Unless it's ignorance on my part as to bullet mechanics in older weapons, I feel like they hired an amatuer to do those effects.

I don't buy the verb grouch posting driving people off stuff.

20's the magic age everybody thinks they'll have their shit together.

Protip: Your ride hasn't even started yet.

I've had my fare share of conversations with people. All of them, down to the oldest ones I know, didn't have their life in order by 20. While some had portions, most did not. It's rare to find somebody who has everything together by that age.

I don't think "being a man" is really a subject you can pin down. Everybody has their own definition of it. All I can give is my own view of what it means "to be a man." You do your job, whatever it may be, however hard it will be. You don't procrastinate on it. You don't whine about it. You don't brag about it. You do it, and you go home.

At some point in your life, you're going to cross paths with somebody who is going to depend on you. It doesn't matter who they are or what the situation is. It's your job not to let them down. It's your job and responsibility to be there when they need you the most.

I see that a lot of people base themselves as men because they're physically strong. The macho routine. Inflated egos. I base being a man as none of that. You don't need only physical strength. You use your head. You be kind to people only as far as you can allow it without them stepping on you or taking advantage of you. Know when to draw the line on things, whether it be people, or your own limits.

You have physical limitations. Know the difference between when you can do it alone and when you need help. You have emotions. There's a time and a place for all of them. Lastly and most importantly. Acknowledge that you are, like anybody else, just a human being.

Don't know if what I'll post is beneficial. It's a double edged sword somewhat.

You get stuck on "finding" happy in every waking moment like a broken record. Then you're unhappy because you can't find it. The only advice I can give is what's pulled me along up to this point.

Nevermind happy. Nevermind misery. Focus on a task. Occupy your mind with things of importance in your life, occupy your time with actions towards these important things. Keep moving, keep focusing. You don't dwell on misery when your mind is focused on something important like a task or a list of them.

I'd say get your head out of the bottle first but that's hard to do when you don't have anything to look forward to. So instead, find something else to occupy your mind and your time other than the bottle.

Gimme some of dat alien booty

So what's your take on the building shitbucket timebomb of festering events around the world that will inevitably go off?

You taking a break or going under for good?

Nah I just wanted to post a link to that site, I've become dependent on this site and begin to physically shrivel after a day of inactivity

Sounds like durnehviir and the soul cairn deal.

Oh my jesus do you want me to get more cancer.
