  • I’m a Candian here so take my advice for what is worth. Vote Democrat as cross the board.

    I have cancer. Hodgkins Lymphoma. A felt a lump in my neck on Friday. Called the doctors office on Monday and saw the doctor on Wednesday. In the next two months I had an ultrasound that was, “worrying” followed up by a chest x-ray and full body CT. That necessitated a biopsy which resulted in the positive diagnosis of Hodgkins. That triggered a PET scan, respiratory study, and echocardiogram. I saw my oncologist a week after the PET scan and started chemo two days later. I just had my second infusion this morning and I’m feeling a bit beaten up. They gave me Ondensetron for the night after chemo and Olanzapine for nausea as needed. All I pay for is parking at the hospital and I can claim that on my taxes.

    Universal healthcare is really, really hard to implement. That’s why only 22 of the 23 most developed countries in the world have it.

    The US health care system is a grotesque lie.


  • I watch court videos on YouTube. It seems that many judges are cluing in to the best methods to respond to the sovereign citizen nonsense. If you’re, “the authorized representative of [name]” then [name] has failed to appear and they issue a bench warrant, have the person thrown in jail until they can be positively identified. I’ve seen judges throw them in jail for up to 30 days for contempt for refusing to answer basic questions and I’ve seen judges withdraw their permission to represent themselves because they keep saying that they “don’t understand” anything that’s going on. You can’t represent yourself if you don’t understand.

    I love this judge.

    I don’t think anyone who knows me hates me. I’m pretty easy to get along with.

    Online…

    That largely depends on who you talk to. Lots of people dislike my opinions.

    Christofascists, white supremacists, white nationalists, racists, anti-vaxers, neo-Nazis and Nazis, anti-choicers, anti-maskers, Covid deniers, vegan extremists, incels and incucks, Puritans, the US Taliban, magats and the anti-reality crowd, the convoyists, the Save-The-Children crowd and Queen Dildo and her ragtag band of morons, PETA, the rabid pro-gun I’m-terrified-of-everything-so-I-need-a-grenade-launcher-to-buy-donuts crowd, and others seem to dislike the things I say. Of course tankies, trans extremists, the anti-gun crowd, and others who hate the first group also dislike some of the things I say. Just about everyone who lives in an echo bunker dislikes the reality I speak.

    I say things that many people dislike but they tend to be the controlling-what-other-people-do mob and people who live in evil bunkers but generally I think I’m a good person and the people around me seem to think so too no matter where they lie on the political, religious, or social spectrum.
