To echo another commenter… what? Seriously, what on earth are you talking about?

My mum’s breast cancer came back a month ago - it’s stage 4 and it’s metastasised to her bones. Her life expectancy is about 6 months without treatment. She has triple negative breast cancer which is rarer, more aggressive and significantly harder to treat than the more common hormone-responsive breast cancers.

There’s a new immunotherapy drug, pembrolizumab, which is effective on advanced triple negative breast cancer when given alongside standard chemotherapy. But it costs £3000 per treatment and she needs 18 rounds of it. Her oncologist applied for funding and got it!

After 6 months of treatment my mum should have 23 months of “progression free survival” compared to 16 months if she had chemo alone. She’s only 57 so every extra day I can have my mum in life is truly a gift. I’m so so grateful for our NHS.

Same here. Our core values are the same, but our personal interests are very different. Our personalities are quite different too, but they’re complimentary. What one of us needs, the other can provide. We’re both better together.

I was raised catholic. Nursery, primary, high school and sixth form. Church every week. Extra lessons at the church in preparation for the sacraments. I was even an altar server for a time. I think I must have pretty lucky with the parish priest/my teachers though because I the most important thing that was drilled into us was the “golden rule” - treat others as you wish to be treated. Even as a child I knew the Old Testament stories were just that - stories. We were never ever taught that god hated anyone no matter what. We were also taught about other religions and not in “these idiots got it wrong” way. Judaism and Islam were taught as basically the same as Christianity but with a different idea of who Jesus was. I took Christian theology and philosophy A level and had a fantastic teacher. We spent hours debating the existence of god and we were never told we were wrong if we no longer believed by then. There’s a name for it I’ve forgotten now, but we compared the gospels to look for inconsistencies and examined what that meant for their validity. You were never expected just to believe for beliefs sake. I’m not catholic anymore, I have too many issues with the Church. But it’s shocking how unchristian the current brand of American fundamental/evangelical Christians are. It’s just so far from anything I was ever taught.

That’s the way they were taught to me, but I’m starting to think I was pretty lucky with my schools/parish. There was no sex ed though so not that lucky.

That’s right. A baddie to me is literally a bad guy/villain, that’s how old I am!

I deleted the beta and re-download it from the App Store before, but I’ve just logged out, deleted, reinstalled and logged in again. I’ll let you know in about an hour if I see any improvement!

Yup, literally the first thing I tried to do on the App Store version. I didn’t get a “looks like Lemmios crashed…” message this time so I couldn’t send feedback. Also the screen kinda jumps sometimes when reading a long thread. You’ll be in the middle of reading comments (not sorted by new) and suddenly the text disappears (but the app doesn’t crash) and you have to reload it. That was happening on the beta earlier but you can’t really screenshot it so I didn’t report it. I think I sent 5-10 crash reports today alone. I have a new iPhone with the latest software so I’m not really sure what’s going on. Tbch I’d pretty much made Lemmios my primary app but it’s been so buggy today I had to go back to Memmy.

EDIT: it did the screen thing as soon as I posted that reply. I was reading it back when suddenly it disappeared

I just downloaded the alpha version, replied to a comment and the app immediately crashed like it has been doing all day on the beta version 😔 maybe it’s me?!

[-] Someone@feddit.uk 3 points 1 year ago

This one. I’ve sent multiple crash reports today, some with additional info, some without. I also provided feedback that the text size on comment replies is teeny tiny since you added the ability to add photos to comments. I believe I sent feedback from my alt account, SomeoneElse if that helps.

The TestFlight version is crashing an awful lot today. Is the alpha release better?

Definition of an “ig baddie” for anyone like me who didn’t know:

An Instagram Baddie can be defined as a woman who almost always looks "flawless." They're known for high follower counts, fan pages, and modernized fashion sense. Many instagram baddies are influencers, meaning clothing and makeup brands reach out to them for promotion
