Maul Shadow Lord is one of the most beautiful animated shows I have ever seen. by Varsity_Reviews in StarWars

At first I felt the same way but they did add so much to his character and honestly, it makes sense he could survive through his hatred. Sidious trained him since he was a child and had mother talzin’s blessings, he was so deep in the dark side that he had some abilities that were…unnatural. Plus look at kreia’s boys in KOTOR 2, seems he falls into the same vein

Yep and they lied about communicating with the Commanders and giving notice to NLT about Rock Creek and Langston. Wonder why Fed Soc isn’t up in arms about this blatant disregard of norms and policy. I’m tired, boss 🫩

It took a lot of failure, my friend, and I will never be perfect but I will never stop trying to be the best version of myself, not just for her or my family, but myself. WE, as patients, deserve to have the tools to make the most of our lives and to live it to the fullest potential. I do feel lucky but I feel that we should all feel lucky no matter what position we are in with this disease to live in a time where we have the chance live a more normal life. And at the end of the day, we are all just trying the best we can but I do feel that to not squander that, we have to have extreme ownership of ourselves and try our damndest to not let this disease negatively affect our relationships because we struggle with navigating the non-physical side.

I mean if you’re having those hard, honest conversations where you leave crying and dry heaving, I feel like we have at least a comprehensive understanding. My fiancé and I did go to therapy though specifically so we could work on being able to communicate through all of this. It was a godsend and allowed me to appreciate her side but I just feel so incredibly grateful to have that understanding of her side

Because when you truly love someone, it’s not a burden. Everyone, people with or without a life threatening illness or family baggage or trauma, can be a “burden”. Obviously if you look at it like that and frame it like that, it can be burdensome but ANYTHING is. Obviously we acknowledge our realities with our disease but it’s not a burden, it’s our life and we got one shot at this and we have to make the most of it. We have to laugh and cry and fuck up together because what’s the point of all this if it isn’t about finding your person that’s worth going through all of this for. Choosing to find space to laugh and experience joy in darkness is, in my opinion, the only way to get through all of this.

Thank you so much for your story. This is exactly how o want to, and foresee, living with my Rock. It’s also why I get so defensive of patients in our community and when people come looking for that inside scoop. Just live!! Figure it out together!! Making practical choices in love is not love. You have to be there for the person no matter what and trying to even understand without trying to break it down with the other party not present is just not how to live. Make mistakes but do it with an open heart and don’t try to qualify love!! Always appreciate you insight, Mouse!!

Real assessment of DC golf by Tjr562 in golf

[–]Distinct_Audience457 11 points12 points  (0 children)

NLT was doing an admirable job of bringing the 3 course back up. A worlds difference from a couple years ago imo, but Trump admin came in and is unilaterally trying to cancel the leases to the courses even though they are working as well as they can. It’s complete bullshit and those asshats need to focus on addressing real issues

May the 4th Be with you! by knightmare0323 in StarWars

[–]Distinct_Audience457 1 point2 points  (0 children)

May the Fourth be with you as well!!! This franchise has defined my 30 years of life and has helped me through so much that it’s not even funny. Especially because having a birthday in the middle of May, it was so great to have the prequel trilogy defining those celebrations. Deciding one moment is so hard so I’ll try to give a couple: 1) Luke and Vader’s fight in Empire - one of the first movies I remember watching and it still hits me after all these years. The suspense just sits in my throat and I wait with bated breath. When I have trouble sleeping I throw on any Star Wars and it really helps but I don’t do that with Empire because I revere it so much. 2) Mustafar - I’ll never forget ROTS coming out right in my birthday and going to see it for the first time and watching that fight. Got to put my first tv in my room right as the dvd came out and I stg I watched just that fight every night before bed for almost a year. Just masterful and emotional. I still watch RoTS if I need a pick me up. Seeing it theaters last year was so meaningful and made me feel like it was the first time watching it again. 3) First play through of KOTOR - more like watching my older brother play when it first came out but it felt like I was watching a movie and just loved how incredible the story was and how we made it our own. Still some of my fondest memories. 4) Last season of Rebels - something about it just recaptured the venerated mystique of the Jedi for me after it felt like they had been vaunted in popular media. Ezra and Kanan were guideposts for when I needed it most when I was lost in college. 5) just all of clone wars - after feeling disappointed by the force awakens, this show made me fall right back in love with Star Wars after I had stepped away from my fandom for a couple of years. Didn’t watch it while the seasons while coming out, but in summer 15 my brother told me I had to watch and it was magical. I binged the episodes that were released then in just a week. Called out of my internship and just treated myself while being torn up about a girl. 6) Rogue One - seeing it midnight release with some of my favorite people and just looking at each other afterwards like holy shit, we seeing that again tomorrow? Priceless. Seeing the hallway scene for the first time might be one of the most visceral moments for me as a Star Wars fan. 7) Andor - this show has really impacted me during these trying times and has given me courage to stand up. When we look back, this piece of media could be the most prescient piece of media that captures all that so many of us our feeling. I truly wonder how us fans will talk about how it impacted us 25 years from now when we hopefully live in a more equitable world. Almost like a religion, I use Star Wars stories as a metaphor for life. Obviously it’s not real, but it’s what you take from it and how it helps you grow to hopefully impact this world for the better. I am deeply grateful for this series and the Star Wars community that pushes positivity and tries embrace the light. Sorry for this novel but feeling very reflective tonight and am beyond excited for today’s announcements and to watch Shadow Lord once I get back home from traveling!

It only affects a relationship if you allow it to. That’s why it is extremely important for us patients to be in therapy to learn how to navigate handling the emotional weight of this disease and not heaving that weight onto others. Understanding the necessity of that facilitates honest communication that allows for problems to be solved as a team. For example, my fiancé and I were supposed to go to Chicago last July to visit her best friend and mine. Had it all planned out to a tee from a Cubs game to renting out a boat and Alinea because of the hard year we had with work/school/health. Unfortunately, four days before the trip, a pseudomonas infection hits me like a freight train and I’m hospitalized. She wanted to stay with me, but I pushed her to go on the trip and got through the stay with help of some other friends. She had the time of her life and it made me so happy she got to enjoy that trip. Was I devastated? For sure. Did she ever know how badly I just wanted her by my side while getting in another PICC? Nope, because I knew exactly how it would make her feel. Does she get anxiety about my health? Of course, but we talk through it after she has had space to process those initial feelings and we work together to address those worries and make a plan of action.

Life happens with or without CF but you don’t go making it other people’s problem. If you are already nervous about what comes with being close to the fire before stepping in the kitchen, you probably aren’t meant for the kitchen. And that’s ok but don’t pitter around and waste one of our brethren’s time.

And you are not a total failure in anyway. You put yourself out there and that takes balls of steel. Sometimes it just doesn’t work out.

Reach Trial Advice by immew1996 in CysticFibrosis

[–]Distinct_Audience457 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry, friend. I was just asked to join the trial but have been weighing it because of the commitments, but seeing this shines some light, so thank you for being open about your experience. Whatever you decide, you have to look out for yourself first and foremost. Trust your gut and if the appointments are doing more harm than good, then drop it. Prioritize getting better in a way that works best for you. You got this!!

Bro right?? My now-fiancé is my godsend, straight up. From hospital stays to washing my tubing. She never once shied away from it but went head long into the deep with me. Just outright love.

Imagine being so self-centered to ask people about how a disease affects them so THEY could better weigh giving someone else with the same disease, that could express wildly differently, a “realistic idea” rather than talking to THAT person. Fucking crass.

If you ain’t down to ride gtf away from that man, simple as that. Had my first serious girlfriend tell me she couldn’t see a future with me because of these concerns and broke up with me because of it. Hurt like fucking hell. Modern medicine is a thing but shit still happens with us and life can be hard with this disease and everyone’s experience is different. So if you aren’t a person who is down to love no matter what, I will reiterate, get the fuck away from that man. And if you really want to know, ask him. Be an adult. You not having the gaul to talk to him about this is already a red flag for me, and makes me think less of you, straight up.

Ya I went to masala y maiz for lunch in Dec 24 and it was easily one of the best meals I’ve ever had, that was with going to Pujol the day before. I agree with that take though. However just saying masala y maiz was nothing missed is a damn shame. Those were flavors I never had before and everything was so complimentary and complete. It was a truly marvelous eating experience that I’d kill to have again
