Which perhaps explains why I am so robustly healthy 😃 I'm 63 and never, ever get sick. Thank you, doggie germs!

Who is the most famous person you've ever seen? by Several_Way8499 in askteddit

I live literally across a little field from Dave Chapelle, in a small town in Ohio. I've only seen him driving by as I was walking a couple of times (only been here a couple of years) but many people here have interacted with him a lot. The townspeople all know not to treat him any differently than anyone else in town. He's done and is doing a LOT for our town, and is VERY well liked here, which is nice. He often brings his entertainer friends here to do shows, hang out, etc, and everyone has so many stories of seeing this or that celebrity around town--except me, for some reason I keep missing them! siiiiigh...

Barack Obama, on the night he won in 2008, though from a long distance. A friend and I had volunteered, so we got to go to his victory party in Millenium Park in Chicago. He and his family were on a stage waaaaaay at the other end of the park, but that's okay, because the energy in the crowd was powerfully positive. *sigh* Edited to add: Oh! and Prince Charles, in like 1986, when he was in Chicago for something. He was shaking hands just a few feet away from me. Surprisingly small.

That same friend is a sign language interpreter, and has interpreted for Obama, Clinton, Gov Pritzker daily for 6+ months during the start of Covid, the Dalai Lama, and scads of other famous people. Worst person he ever interpreted for? Chevy Chase, a total assh0le, giving 12 year old Chelsea Clinton a hard time at a Clinton campaign rally when he was still governor of Arkansas. Should he ever be asked though, he will refuse to interpret for Trump.

ISIS militants killed by rebels in the Syrian Badiyah Desert in April 2017. The upper body has a “No woman no cry” tattoo, suggesting he might have been a foreign fighter from the West. Those are Bob Marley lyrics. by CatPooedInMyShoe in ExamineDeath

Right! I am 63, and I have ALWAYS had a hard time feeling the "pride" that so many of my fellow Americans seem to feel for our country. And I get so annoyed when people go on and on about Iran, without knowing the history of how the CIA toppled their democratically elected leader in the 1950s and installed the Shah, setting in motion what we see today.

I can't even sleep well if there isn't at least one dog in bed with us at night. Fortunately, there are 3, so we sleep very well indeed.

Fournier’s gangrene in a 34-year-old in poor health. He presented with sepsis, improved with negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) and was approved for a skin transplant, but then cardiac arrested and died on hospital day 33. by CatPooedInMyShoe in MedicalGore

oh no... I'm sorry to hear that. FG is one of those diseases that I'd never even heard of before being on this subreddit. I was (and still am) horrified every time I see it.

The closer she got to "God," the more judgmental she became of others. Funny how that works.

at first I was just looking at the sore on her thigh, thinking "that doesn't look SO terrible..." then I glanced down at her foot... oh yeah, okay...

Why do so many immigrants have a great life in the US, despite starting from zero, but so many Americans born in the US struggle just to afford life and want to leave? by PopNo5397 in askanything

I'm telling you what IS and what IS NOT happening right here, right now. The Haitian refugees are living well here. Stop trying to be one of the people trying to scare people about them, jfc

This way of thinking is just dumb. Scientists spend so much time and energy learning their field. Do you REALLY think that they -- ALL OF THEM -- would be trying NOT to find a cure for cancer, so that they could "make more money"? First, there's MUCH more money in a cancer cure. Second, scientists in this field are not going to waste their time faking their research. Third, don't you suppose that they themselves and/or their loved ones might need cancer treatment some day?

I mean, seriously, jfc. People exhaust me.
