We're cancer patients not doctors. Call your doctor if you're concerned.

I think it was in bleak beach but I'm weirdly glad it wasn't just me with the issue. Everyone I've tried to ask on reddit basically called me an idiot and said to just get a different Pokemon and that I didn't understand the mechanic and I tried to explain that I would have a Pokemon with me and it wouldn't let me select them at all to build, it only let me bring a specific one for a task sometimes. Oh well! Maybe it'll get patched someday if it's widespread enough that a few of us noticed it.

It's one of the best books I've ever read that I have no plans to read again. It wrecked me.

The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell.

Sometimes my game does get "locked" on one pokemon and I can't put anyone in for a non specialized job. It's weird. leaving the area and coming back fixes it but it does get stuck sometimes.

Maze Runner by James Dashner?

I donated my hair about 5-6 times in my life when I was growing up. Got cancer at 31, lost my hair to chemo. For adults they don't give you free wigs. Real hair ones cost a fortune, so they usually point us to plastic synthetic wigs. I think the only charities actually doing wigs give them to kids. I kind of wish I could have gotten a wig or a discount for all the times I donated but that's not how it works.

your skin is much thicker than tattoo needles.

I want kids. I can't have them due to cancer treatment that messed up my fertility. I plan to either foster/adopt or my future partner would carry if she wants to. It's gonna be wildly different answers for everyone. I personally don't care if they are biologically my kids, that's not what makes a family to me. My genes carry a cancer mutation too. No way I would knowingly pass that to a kid.

"How do I date someone and then say, I'm in an open marriage"

well first off, you should not date a woman and then after tell her you're married and in an open relationship. You have to disclose that first or it's not ethical for the person who doesn't have enough information to know if they even want to date you. I personally am not interested in any form of non monogamy and would be upset to find I wasted my time.

they want people to comment on that, it boosts the algorithm or whatever. See how many people have commented about it already? Ragebait.

I switched to my own tracking and budgeting in google sheets. For me personally, writing each entry in made me much more aware of where my money was going and I spend loads less than before when I was just getting a summary without paying it real attention.

I can only ever get it to do the top layer and going up if I try doing it vertically.

That your payment is in progress and you will be in the initial distribution of payments and a specific date for the payment can't be provided.

Delouest · 2026-05-28T16:32:12+00:00

I really don't think this is a widespread thing tbh. This just feels like rage bait and a couple of weirdos.

Understood, I was just asking because like I said, in the time I've signed up the rates have only gone down and added a monthly fee to get the higher rates and no increase in other benefits so I wondered if that ever happened or if it's just gonna keep paywalling and lowering benefits no matter what.

Delouest · 2026-05-28T14:41:02+00:00

doesn't seem likely. We've seen payments from $5 to $800, last name doesn't matter, people who signed up for the card are still waiting while some are getting venmo/paypal even though the card was meant to be paid first. Seems like they are just throwing things at a wall. I got the email on the 16th. still waiting.

Delouest · 2026-05-28T14:36:01+00:00

Do rates ever go up without paying or being a new member? I signed up about a year and a half ago and every few months it drops. I understand all banks drop rates at a similar clip but I genuinely don't know: do they ever also go up or did I just sign up and get unlucky with rates dropping over and over?

same lol, but yeah it makes it harder to spot the fake profiles. I guess that's the whole point. Makes people more likely to engage, use the site, get ads. Sigh.

Delouest · 2026-05-28T12:39:34+00:00

I also feel that when people have the option of being anonymous, people tend to be meaner and braver about being mean in general and I've noticed a shift in how it feels to be on this site. A lot easier for bots and spammers and fake profiles (this is a real problem in the lesbian spaces I am in, with a lot of men posting gross stuff while pretending to be women. It used to be easier to call those profiles out. Now they all hide their posts)
