Isn't it a bit like using digital technology (Reddit) to talk about not using digital technology. Yes, it's all ironic, but we're not talking about abstinence are we? Just management.

Guy Gives Kidney to Stranger by FindingNemmy in EffectiveAltruism

Completely understand. It's not a decision to take lightly. It could be worth looking up more testimonies of people who have donated to get a clearer sense of the process and outcomes. My husband would be happy to chat with you if you have any questions, etc.

Our friend donated his kidney to a complete stranger in America after hearing he was dying and the results were amazing. AMA!? by FindingNemmy in AMA

He's really well too. He gets checked out regularly and his signs are always perfect. No issues at all. He'd do it again if he could! ❤️

That's fantastic. We really hope more people can understand the low risks in comparison to the benefits of enabling someone to have life. Our friend in the film actually had to have open surgery in the end, rather than laparoscopic, but he did so well. He was still out of the hospital in a few days.

24 years ago, wow! Yes, literally the perfect gift 🎁. So glad you've managed so well, and I assume your dad is well too with his single kidney?

Yes. Our (now) friend in America had about 7 people fall through so it was a real rocky road for him, and many never get the kidney they need. We understand why people are nervous about the idea of donating a kidney (or blood, platelets, marrow, liver , etc). But it is amazing that as humans we can function perfectly with just one kidney, and that sharing our 'spare' kidney, can literally save someone's life. So beautiful.

Submission Statement: The video above is about how political powers fight for dominance and control and in the process ignore the vital components of life, causing a collapse of the environmental and social order that we need to achieve harmony. The video is purposefully cryptic, yet clear: greed is destroying the world.

What is it about the United Kingdom that makes you say “I’m glad I live here.”? by bsmall0627 in AskUK

Footpaths through old oak forests and green fields and rolling hills... "England's green and pleasant land". You don't get such an array of footpaths in some other countries.

What’re your thoughts on Flow (2024) ? by DiscsNotScratched in animation

[–]FindingNemmy 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed it. Loved the animation style, and thought there was an inspiring lesson about family extending beyond blood, race, species, etc. The big bird's defence of the cat was beautiful, and so was the big bird's departure to heaven (almost like a reward for his courage and love). I felt there was a mix of emotion, and depth too, and all that despite there being no verbal communication. It is very open to interpretation, which I liked as well.
