Oh I thought it was all at the same time.

It must be really nice living in a sane country. Maybe one-day...

Just as an aside, my dad died horribly this past xmas after 6 months of cancer gradually destroying him and everything he'd worked so hard for. He was one of the most fit people I knew until that. He grew up skiing and was a junior patroller at 15 in colorado. By the time I was born, he was patrolling as a doctor and took me everywhere he could, and when he couldn't, he just told me to go to the patrol shack and wait. Anyways, I was with him for those last 6 months, but I curled up in a ball and did nothing to try to make his doctors do anything or find alternative treatment options like the Mayo clinic. I just curled up in a ball of fear and anxiety and did nothing. I was just paralyzed. My dad would have gone to the ends of the earth for me, and I didn't even try to save him. I don't know how to live with that.

This man has not felt joy a single time in his life.

Well no shit.

We really need a new definition for these because it doesn't line up with how people think about them, and as a result the stats are easy to ignore.

Almost like you get what you vote for.

A Grand Chute police recruit alleged she was sexually assaulted. Days later she lost her job.

The department didn’t seek outside investigation for case involving its own employee, yet invoked “victim rights” laws to resist disclosing details of the incident involving two other police recruits

I appreciated both sides of this discussion.

IMHO it's so much better. I've had better discussions, less stupid comments (no pun comment threads so far for example).

I don't want Lemmy to turn into Reddit.

If you vote for villains, you are a villain.

No, but you are still voting to support all those other things when you vote republican
