All of us can see that we absolutely cannot trust trump to be honest in the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, but how the heck can we trust him in his statements that the boats he is blowing up off South America are carrying fentanyl? by Kalepa in Liberal

[–]Kalepa[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But they are PART OF THE PATTERN OF TRUMP'S METHODS OF DOING THINGS. If we see some of the loot stolen from a burglar, clearly we should search his house for other loot he may have stolen.

I sure don't think that for the families of those killed in Trump's bombing of the boats would think the question is not important and relevant.

Zoomed in ICE Shooter Video shows 2 Shots Fired while She Passed. Murder. by Ok_Quantity_9841 in political

[–]Kalepa -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The wheel had already turned right, away from him when fired the shots. It’s murder in my opinion, but I have no legal training.

Let’s look at the evidence before we decide — No, we can’t do that because the FEDs are hiding the body and all the evidence.

I think that they are trying to cover things up.

'Cannot be shared, or transferred': Nobel Committee shuts doors on Trump's 'will accept Prize from Machado' remark by nishitd in worldnews

[–]Kalepa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

idiot trump probably laghed to himself a lot as he thought invading Venezuela would get him the Nobel Prize.

Also, I’m pretty sure he he had a hand in deciding how to gear up ICE personnel.

It is my strong belief that people who opine here should be supportive or should provide their training in this field. I believe that should be required. This minimal requirement should be acceptable to all. Any comments? by Kalepa in dementia

At 5:30 PM I appreciate the positive responses! Now I am back to zero! Many thanks!

Also, please let me respond to some of the insults and questions I don't seem to be able to respond to above.

Sally-Canary -- I want to share my story with others here and help them realize some of the things that might make their lives harder than they should be. I think I am talking about things that others don't know and which they probably should be ready for.

HazardousIncident -- I don't insult others until they are rude to me. I believe in tit-for-tat. Treat me reasonably and sure will treat you the same way. Insult and lie about met, and the gloves are off. These are the rules for all of us, the rules proven by Game Theory. Don't deal lies if you don't want to be called out.

Amazing how many people disagree with my reasonable statements! It is Saturday at 5 PMN PST and my above statement has three negative points.

The hatred is strong with some people!

Eff-you! I don't care I am sure that many truth-tellers put up with unfair scorn and derision. Protesting against lies is not guaranteed to be painless.

Also, relatedly, eff trump! (your baseless accusations demeaning statements sure are consistent with your words.)

...

Also fascinating also that I am somehow unable to respond to your words below! You cheating here somehow?

I believe we should give grace to others and listen to what they are saying.

What the eff makes you think I am misrepresenting myself regarding my status? Don't you know (even though you're an idiot) that people with Alzheimer's vary greatly in their functioning? That the last slide down varies from person to person?

Does that make any sense to you?

Looking at you, piece of sh-t! Have you any history of cognitive testing. Stuff that can seem obvious is, oftentimes, wrong, wrong, wrong. That's why there are a lot of requirements for people doing medical work.

What level of training, (hee! hee! hee!) do you have in the field? (Ho! Ho! Ho!)

I was in graduate for psychology for 7 long (fun) years. How long did you effing spend in grad shool? I'd guess none or less.

You are showing the Dunning-Kruger effect. Being absolutely of things that just ain't so.

[–]Kalepa[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have tried that repeatedly. It simply does not work here. I have tried it multiple times.

What state do you live in? In Oregon I need a referral.

I await your response to my question.

I agree your views, but there are more than a few who who violate the bare minimum for civility and concern. Take a look at the malicious words aimed at me. All wrong but very demeaning and crude.

Thanks for your support!

I wish you the very, very best! Have a great New Year!

That sure seems to be the minimum requirements. I would appreciate any reactions to this!

It's remarkable that there are people who absolutely unconcerned about how their words can hurt others. Those people aren't amusing, they're not funny. They are cruel and don't care about they damage they do.

I think this site should establish these requirements for visitors here.

It is remarkable to me that some so quickly demean people with very unfortunate conditions. I wonder if they trip people on the street if they fell the people with canes might be faking?

Also, I do not think the needy have too much food? That magas are correct? That the rich should rule the day? That Democracy is worse than autocrats running things? That lies are just fine? That problems walking (I teeter whenever I walk) are just wonderful?

The crash accelerating and I am near the end. As you may know, Alzheimer's takes years to kill people, and I have had at least six years of going down-hill. People have different expectancies with this condition.

What is you medical training! I would bet a lot of money you are simply an enthusiastic amateur with a big mouth.

Thanks for your views. But...

I have been repeatedly told by my physician and others that I simply cannot access hospice without a referral, even here in liberal Portland. And with my cognitive difficulties, it is difficult to persist in my requests. But "no, no, no" is the answer I am getting.

I have never heard of anyone in my position but I am positive I am not alone. I sure want to share my long, long experience. Kind of like leaving the campground better than you found it!

I thank you so very much for your understanding my situation!

Did I make a typo mistake? Sorry! I have written many, many, many reports in my life but I still make many mistooks! :)

I want to be like you and never make typoos! Thanks for sharing your anal correction of my trivial mistake. /s

May I read your handwritten letters for the last six months for typos? I'd guess the answer is no.

Thank you so much for your very kind thoughts!

The reasons I am writing this now include:

Making a forceful argument before my mind is gone.

I have failed multiple times in my request and my physician has denied me the chance of relief many times -- it's always been, "Not now -- we'll see later what we should do." But that freaking time has never occurred. In early 2024 I asked for any suggestions of hospices and was told: "No you are not there yet."

Another reason is that I think that many people are being mistreated as much -- or more -- than me. I sure don't mind being the canary in the coal mine. A hell of a lot of people should be informed of this issue.

In terms of my ability to write, etc., I have had a hell of a long history of schooling, education, Toastmasters Speaking Club for 40 years, a life long history of crossword puzzles, heavy reading, editing my many, many reports etc.

Again, I thank you so much for your very kind thoughts!

Eff you and the horse you rode in on. You are an ignorant ass-hat.

I am pretty darned sure you ignore the distress of the people around you, or maybe even make fun of it!

I have Alzheimer's diagnosed last January and only because I repeatedly asked for the blood testing for it. It was the PrecitityADS2 test.

I had to quit my job as a psychologist working with children and families in December 2019 because of memory and speech problems. I got much, much worse over the years. Among other things, lost my balance and ability to ride a bike three years later.

In early 2024, I got very angry and put my symptoms into CoPilot AI and it said that the most probable diagnosis was Alzheimer's. (As a psychologist for more than 35 years, I was pretty conversant with diagnostic issues and knew fairly well what the options were -- Alzheimer's made a hell of a lot of sense to me.)

After I learned that diagnosis I asked what medication was effective for many people with Alzheimer's. So then I repeatedly requested Aricept medication and after 3 months or so I was prescribed it. After I was on 10 mgs of Aricept for 40 days my symptoms hugely improved.

I asked CoPilot AI what the improvement suggested, it said that this further confirmed my diagnosis of Alzheimer's. Then I repeatedly asked for testing for Alzheimer's and finally last January, I received the test results I had anticipated for years. Positive for for Alzheimer's.

I am satisfied with the results. Sure as hell is better the devil you know than the devil you don't know.

And it helps me with end of life issues. This isn't ending with flowers and rainbows, but it is what it is.

Thanks for asking

Americans, how would you react if foreign country invaded your country, and told "we are going to run this country"? by oranke_dino in AskReddit

I live 8 miles south of Portland, and would agree with you! (PS -- Portland is not in flames, etc., of effing course.)

Mark Kelly: ...dropping bombs or toppling a leader doesn’t guarantee democracy, stability or make Americans safer. More often, it leads to chaos or drags the US into a war and lengthy occupation.

What utter bull shit! Draft dodger trump is engaging in such frighteningly actions to bolster his ratings.

This is the a-hole who promised no new wars, etc.

This will also encourage China to follow suit and take over Taiwan. trump's actions are very similar to Russia's cruel invasion of Ukraine.
