Living the dream baby. This dog won the game of life without knowing how to play

Thanks i actually needed this comment to be here.

Also for me personally a phd and sad-meds-sex are both things I’m not getting so this joke has legs

My experience says it probably doesn’t matter however you choose to tell them but do tell them, as soon as you can. They’ll want input on your decisions you know. They’ll probably want you to fight this. They’ll probably ask a lot of you. They’ll demand you “waste away enduring treatment” But do tell them anyway, for them.

That’s what this is about, yeah? Just bite the bullet and do it, today. Get it out there. Then listen to them when they speak. Maybe you’ll change your mind. Maybe you’ll decide to fight. Maybe you will not. But don’t you keep it a secret, that’s against the rules. You made a deal with your family, don’t break it because you’re afraid of losing a fight you could win.

I dunno if it’s always the case but it can have long lasting effects on them if you don’t give them their chance to say goodbye. My wife (40) still has trouble with the shock and loss from 8 years old when her gramma kept her cancer from her family until the very end.

So ill shut up now, feel weird already talking so confidently bout something so personal to someone…So log off, buck up, and tell them. You know they’re gonna bug the shit out of you, but who knows, maybe they’ll convince you. Maybe during this trouble you all will find a deeper love together than you knew you could feel.

Obviously some Internet asswipe like me can’t be trusted with something so important. Don’t be afraid of their love, go tell em, right now. <3

Yeah if the DNC really gave as much credence to the vote power of racism and misogyny as they do when complaining about election losses, then why would they deliberately step on that landmine by selecting kamala only 8 years after HRC? It’s not like we think idealistic dreamers run the DNC right? That’s silly.

Why did Dems lose the Senate? Keep the house? Cuz its more than just Harris here… What we’re seeing is voter repudiation of the last 4 years.

Wait… This chart is hard to read. This chart is … “how much more important these issues are to people as a percentage, than they were as a percentage in 2020?”

really? I must be reading this wrong

Careful, they bite!

Liberals aren’t my enemies though? I’m not pretending anything. Liberals are very high representation in lotsa comms and they are who i’m talking to seeing how this is a thread with a liberal complaining about me. Capice? Let’s not fight, let’s just chill today

Tankies make liberals uncomfortable because liberals believe they are the furthest left you can go before you become wrong and bad (forgetting that there are folks to their right on the political spectrum who think they are.

The worst thing for a tankie like me was running here to get away from the insane msn-pilled discourse, finding some actual leftists, only to have have leredditors chase me down sayin’ i am following them.

I mean shit I’m just trying to talk leftist ideals that haven’t been twisted into neoliberal business-school-bullshit talking points. I care bout the same shit yall do, i just don’t think the DNC is going to help us get there. That prospect does not make me happy, believe me.

Libs? If you are burning with desire to debate politics? I am begging… begging you to understand that the education in school and the news yesterday on the tv Aren’t. Acumen.(why would they be more credible than the commercials in between them?), and do not fear but embrace the idea/possibility that there’s an iota of a chance you might not actually be right.

Does this notion mean i am? No. But if you don’t think you might be wrong then you’ll likely never find out you are.
