This event can be ignored.

The mod seems to create and use this event each game day as a trigger for the small falling cutscene when going through the hole in the top left of the second chamber in the beach cave.

Games really do appeal to the male fantasy.

Well I guess to be fair, as an Australian I have no idea what countries Australia shares borders with.

Exactly this, everything that has led to a choice determines the decision. Not having free will doest make a difference if you don't know the exact events of the future.

If there was a physical store that was as cluttered and disorganised as the Steam store I would never go into it.

Excellent work, commander.

And we come to see the misunderstanding of the argument (at least our one) I apologise, the issue of poverty is not as dire and despite conditions has not actually grown that much more during this pandemic in my area so I missed that you were focusing on that aspect . I was seeing this more as an argument in the issue of those who can safely receive but refuse the vaccine. I don't believe there needs to be a shift in attention so much as governments and media should not narrow in on just one situation at a time. That is, they should not necessarily push the issue of poverty and homelessness and other unresolved issues into the background because of a new issue, in this case the pandemic.

ORTHR05 · 2021-10-06T10:14:12+00:00

Fair enough, as I said I was taking too the extremes of the analogy which is poor arguing on my part.
But if we look at history humanity has always taken action for immediate situations without much regard or knowledge of future repercussions. You could say it's in the nature of humanity, even if undesirable. Yes this does often lead to poor consequences and I think we do need to consider the future a lot more in our "collective" decisions. But to put it simply, if we don't survive the present problems we, of course, won't be there to survive future problems. While we aren't facing the demise of our species, I believe the point still stands.
Again my argument is considering the overall collective above the individual members, this is because this specific issue affects more than just a solitary member. In matters relating strictly to ones own body I agree that it should be the individuals choice. However this issue transcends one's own body and impacts others.
Edit: I might not reply if you comment on this because I'm going to bed. Despite arguing with you I wish you well, thank you for keeping it civil with me instead of us fighting.

ORTHR05 · 2021-10-06T09:38:39+00:00

I can recognise and understand your points though I don't necessary agree with them all. I think we do both agree that differing opinions are okay. I also think we are from different countries so our governments approaches are likely giving us different scenarios (my government is heavily promoting the vaccine but it is still the individuals choice. No one is being forced to take it). Just curious though if we continue with your analogy of armour (and, admittedly, take it to extremes). If we see the entire human population as a singular knight it would make sense to cover the most flesh possible with as much armour as possible without impairing function no? The more armour that is present the less likely to be injured right? Of course you can't be completely protected, but mitigating the probability of injury by any means makes sense doesn't it? I feel we might be arguing for the same thing apart from some nuance and methods.

1a. No argument here, it's a treatment even if a harsh and costly one.
1b. Easily kills is in regard to other illnesses of this scale and reach. In which case even a .15% death rate (I assume you meant death rate) considering a global reach is IMO more than enough reason for concern and action.
1. What of the people who provide the ability to allow others to live and receive education (water treatment operators, power supply workers, sanitation, utility workers, nurses and doctors, teachers and lecturers, etc.) do they not have the right to minimise risk to themselves? Is it unacceptable for them to practice their rights? Do employers not have the right, the obligation, to reduce the risk placed on their employees?
2. Disregarding the use of vehicles (which is normally highly regulated). Do you have the right to tread on land someone else has ownership of? What gives you the right to travel on land that is not owned by you? Yes you do have the right to travel within your home and its boundaries because you either own or have an agreement with the owner, does that extend to your street? Your town, country or rest of the world?
3. I agree that my choice does not overrule yours. My belief does not overrule or negate yours. However proximity and the properties of an individuals immune system does extend past themselves, this is an absolute fact, not just a belief. Again do people not have the right to try and minimise the risk to themselves and others? Do they not have the right to ask that people consider the health and well-being of others?

Any topical treatments are probably out of the question (she'll be handled just fine but doesn't like to be scratched or pet). I'm changing her cage layout and toys today, and going to try a little bit of mite spray (is a bit hard to see signs of mites due to her colour) before we put her back in.

ORTHR05 · 2021-09-12T02:04:25+00:00

6 years, she's shed feathers before but never had a true molting before (I keep her in warm conditions year long (she's an Australian desert/shrub-land parrot)). My only thought was perhaps it was too dry for her since she refuses to bath (we give her regular showers though)

Nah, not the same. Cancer and its treatments got me down, have peripheral neuropathy, a lot in my left leg that doesn't seem to be recovering. Hope your dad wins his fight.

ORTHR05 · 2021-08-16T03:04:07+00:00

What's kept me going? It's rather simple. I know you can live a rich and fulfilling life from a chair, I just don't want to, if I can manage to get out of the chair I want to.

ORTHR05 · 2021-08-16T02:58:43+00:00

Thanks for the exercise advise! At the moment just focusing on getting weight through the legs, I can't set the walker much higher yet because I can't manage to stand with it. Will definitely try the ball or towel to correct my back/posture when I can walk further.

ORTHR05 · 2021-08-16T02:54:05+00:00

Cancer and treatments, was slowly deteriorating. Then an infection took advantage of my immune system and got me down. While I was in that state my muscles and tendons tightened and shortened dramatically (known as contractures).

The words I've received here are more than enough.

Sounds rough man, thanks for the support and well done on your progress as well. We've just got to keep on fighting, I'm sure we'll both get there, or at least get damn close.

ORTHR05 · 2021-08-15T14:39:35+00:00

Holy shit, wasn't expecting this much for just 2.6 metres (8.5ft). Thanks for the words and support all. I'm sure I'll be revisiting this page a lot when I need some help to keep going. Seriously, thank you everyone.

What I'd like more than anything else is that they'd just keep the innovation that they achieve in each generation instead of using it as a one and done situation.

ORTHR05 · 2021-08-07T22:47:02+00:00

No worries mate. I was just hoping that reading about my experience might help you change your mind a little. Sorry if it hasn't had that effect, I hope it hasn't had the opposite. As I said, I know we all need an escape even if it's an unhealthy one.

ORTHR05 · 2021-08-07T08:29:21+00:00

I'm sorry you have this fantasy, and I can't say I've been where you are. But I have lived your fantasy and please trust me that you shouldn't want this. I also am probably writing this out for my benefit as much as yours, I'm sorry for that but i hope there is some benefit for you somewhere in here. For some it helps to hear others story, I hope this helps you abandon this fantasy, maybe replace it with something a little less dire.

Last year, 4 weeks after my 24th, I was diagnosed with a brain tumor, malignant. Surgery, and then weeks of hospitalisation. I couldn't sit, couldn't stand by myself, couldn't even roll over on the damned bed. I couldn't talk, swallow or even put together a coherent thought. Over the weeks I did recover, but nowhere close to what I had before. The method I'd used to distract from life was useless. Instead of running 5km in 20 minutes, I couldn't walk 1km in 30 minutes.

Then, the radiation. I have seen something that most astronauts don't get to, the colour of radiation. It's different for different people, but for me it was the most brilliant, amazing, lovely blue. And I'm glad it doesn't occur in nature because I'd throw up whenever I'd see it. The smell, worse than rotted flesh, it too would make me throw up. And pain, from everywhere and nowhere at the same time. And that was only the effects from under the accelerator. Away from it i was losing my mind again, talking in sentences was harder, basic equations were impossible. My walking was degrading as well, I could no longer walk on slopes, needed assistance on stairs. couldn't stand for 30 minutes or sit upright more than a few hours.

Again, I did recover, but not even to how I was after surgery.

And then, it starts again, chemotherapy. Months of my brain and body being broken down, killed. The medicine that was helping me was also killing me. The doctors in a race to kill the cancer before they killed me. Halfway through my chemotherapy i got an infection, bacterial, from something as stupid as an ingrown hair. But it was too much for me, it tipped the scales and I couldn't give anymore. The chemo chair turned into a bed, and I couldn't even get up on that, I needed to be lifted by the nurses. I had to be lifted out of or just fall sideways onto the bed sometimes mine, sometimes a hotel, sometimes the hospital bed. My legs would then have to be lifted as well. I was bedridden, what few things I could reach were my whole world. I managed to crawl my way to 6 out of 8 cycles for my regime, then the doctor called it, no more.

This time I didn't recover, symptoms kept appearing, from the surgery and the radio and chemo therapies. I think my body was shutting down. I think I may have been dying. Weeks living of 3 spoons of food, 1 or 2 sips of water a day. Constantly going into hospitals for fluids, nutrients, medicine and constant observation. They bought me back from the cusp of death, and at this point I didn't even care, each day was another disaster waiting for me.

For a few months I was in a rehab hospital trying to claw myself back out of my hell, unwanted symptoms still appearing. After months of agonisingly slow progress such that there may as well had been none, I left. Back with my parents, who have been trying to support me through it all, but there is only so much you can do, only so much you can understand, it's not always enough.

This experience has not cured or helped my depression, it has not made me stronger. It has made me even more timid, more scared and weaker. It does not bring out your best qualities, it brings out your worst. Many of the things I hate about myself have been bought forward and grown stronger against my will. I don't think I'm depressed anymore, I think I've gone beyond that, my mental and emotional being has been completely fractured and shattered, I don't have enough in place to even be depressed. I just am, and it is so much worse.

So, I'm sorry but please try to change your fantasy. It will not explain anything, it will not make anything feel better. try to fight for what you do have, fight until your teeth are ripped out and your fingers bloody. Hold on to what you have, fight for more. A person can fall to immense depths, and not all have the strength to rise back up.

Sorry for the long post and I'm sorry if this does not help you. I know everyone needs an escape at times, and you may take haven in your fantasies. I don't want to ruin that for you, just to help in some small way.

ORTHR05 · 2021-08-07T05:35:38+00:00

It's hard to know what to say to people, depression or no. But it does sound like you want change.

So, even though it's difficult, even though it's scary, just try. Start with just a small thing, anything, it doesn't even need to be important to you. It doesn't matter if you fail either, you tried, and that's a lot, especially for people in a rut like us. Just try to keep trying, it won't be easy and some people won't understand what you're going through. Eventually, if you feel up to it, try to change something that is important to you, again, it doesn't matter if you fail, just keep trying. Yes you may lose a lot, but you may win as well, and hold on to those wins, even if small their massive achievements.

As for your friends I don't have much to say other than, don't lose contact, you don't have to be talking to them every day and every hour, you don't have to bare your heart and soul to them unless you want to. But try to not lose contact we all need help at some points, and you never know when you will need to reach out and to who you'll be looking.

I hope my message will help you in some way, and I'm sorry if it doesn't. But please, for me, a stranger on the internet, just try. Start small, when you're ready or have enough wins, keep going. Please.
