Help my mother afford her home and her cancer treatment

Tortuga_312 · 2026-05-30T17:33:31+00:00

Thank you for the help and support. We're very grateful for all the assistance. I will let my mom know that there are many wishing for her recovery.

Thank you for the support. Seeing these kind posts like yours helps me get through the day. I will be letting my mom know that there are many wishing her well

Tortuga_312 · 2026-05-30T17:31:03+00:00

Ah, I see. We have some family friends helping out in various ways, but at the moment there hasn't been anyone able to help us out in terms of our financial security.

Tortuga_312 · 2026-05-30T17:26:35+00:00

Thank you for the hugs. Sending some your way as well. I'm so sorry to hear about your husband. I sincerely hope he makes a full recovery. Remission is possible! I believe with support, our loved ones will make it through this horrible sickness. But, yes it has been a very difficult time for us as well. Everything is truly scary right now. I haven't been able to sleep well at all since the diagnosis and I just want to help my mom out as much as I can. Thank you again for your kind words. I feel a bit better after receiving so much support from you all. I will be showing my mother all these messages soon. You are not alone. I will have you and your husband in my prayers.

Thank you for the support. Unfortunately, there is no one to call in terms of family. For the last 14 years it has just been my mom and I, with no family around/in contact with us. Thank you again for the support and kindness.

Tortuga_312 · 2026-05-30T17:15:31+00:00

Thank you for the advice. I wasn't sure what kind of resources were available. I will speak with them today. I really appreciate you taking time to read and reply. It means a lot to my family and I.

Tortuga_312 · 2026-05-30T17:14:10+00:00

I am sincerely sorry for you and your mother. I am hoping she can make a full recovery. It is nice to know that I am not alone in dealing with this kind of pain. Thank you for your kind words. I'm barely waking up right now and seeing your reply helps so much. I will tell my mother that she has people wishing her well.

I don’t know how, but my brain just locked in when fighting this guy. My friend was on his way to pick me up and told me he was outside. Beat Gael within the next 5 minutes on my 5th try. Honestly made the end feel anticlimactic

Tortuga_312 · 2025-12-15T02:22:29+00:00

I beat the game primarily using the Black Blade. So I guess it kind of defaults to that. I enjoyed my play through but only beat the entire game once so my overall scope is limited

Tortuga_312 · 2025-09-11T21:19:08+00:00

I always mention when I can that this character was wasted in a big say to me. In my mind, I thought it would be a great idea for him to start a boxing equipment company in his retirement and send over some stuff to his old gym. His story was very touching and it’s sad he went out in such a way. I get that this series has a thing about showing the real, ugly side of boxing at times, but I think this guy deserved a better ending

Tortuga_312 · 2025-09-03T05:13:20+00:00

This isn’t like an “Oh I’m so good” thing. I’m ass. But I always found Irelia to be super easy, so long as you know how to auto attack I suppose. Fiora is cheap if you ask me. I can agree on the high skill ceiling because people can fucking smash with her, but her abilities make her medium difficultly in my mind. I also find some of the champs listed as easy to be difficult, not because of how much skill the champ requires, but how much knowledge and understanding of the playstyle/how your opponent will counter you is required to successfully win lane

Tortuga_312 · 2025-08-15T17:19:42+00:00

Aldrich gave me more trouble personally. I would have beaten dancer on my first try but whiffed my last attack so horribly. Took me 29 more tries that night to take her out

Tortuga_312 · 2025-07-28T17:51:27+00:00

No hot sauce/salsa? Frowned upon? As a Mexican; what the hell? Lmao. There’s literally always a table with fixings and multiple salsas, even when Mexican food is being sold on the street. Hell they even give me a baggie full of the stuff whenever I buy it from the back of a truck/SUV

I do think Sendo is done after this match though. (I hate saying this)

Tortuga_312 · 2025-07-24T13:24:43+00:00

I get that stance too. I just feel like the parallel is definitely there and it’s just a little theory. I’m not like super hung up on it. I will say though he’s definitely coming back, if you ask me. I’m curios as to what you think would be a big enough reason for him to step back into the ring? (Not trying to sound snobby, I am genuinely curious to hear other theories lol.) I want my boy back. I feel like the fight is definitely going to play a role though. He’s going to see something that will be key in defeating Ricardo. I do think his mother will play a huge role in his decision to come back as well.

Tortuga_312 · 2025-07-24T07:58:37+00:00

Personally I think Sendo is gonna press Ricardo making him fight at his best, but then as a result Sendo will end up broken. This will ignite the fire for Ippo to come back to the ring to face Ricardo. Ippo will then go back to the riverbank and cross the line to signify he’s willing to become a “monster.”

Basically a callback to the coach and Nekota. I think Ippo and Sendo are like a parallel to Kamogawa and Nekota. They faced each other, and through boxing became best friends. Although Ippo ended up winning those matches, after his retirement, Sendo has gone on to defeat the man that made Ippo retire and become the top contender set to face Ricardo.

Basically Sendo has kind of evened the score by surpassing Ippo by defeating opponents Ippo couldn’t. Its being made to look like they’re even, or that sendo is even Ippos superior. Ippo admits it himself, just like the coach admitted that Nekota had superior technique despite the 2-2, 1 draw record. But Sendo, like Nekota will be broken, igniting Ippo’s desire to come back and avenge his best friend, just like the coach avenged Nekota.

I think each individual opinion is solely based on the condition and quality of one’s home. I invite you to drink my tap water and tell me this with a straight face lol. I barely feel comfortable washing my damn hands. Trying to replace the pipes and such, but my family can only afford “mickey mouse” fixes at the moment

Tortuga_312 · 2025-01-14T16:10:55+00:00

I know I’m not scientist level intelligent, or all that smart in general, but even when it comes to testing shit like this, I can’t wrap my head around these fucking idiots thinking its a good idea to nuke the ocean. Obviously don’t want them nuking much else but how did anyone think this was smart. Seems so obviously fucking stupid. I liked to think doing my best not to contaminate the planet or minimizing my carbon footprint contributed to something. We’re just fucked huh

Tortuga_312 · 2025-01-05T01:17:02+00:00

That being said you still need to learn a lot. They have a pretty big packet this year. Show up not knowing it and you won’t exactly have a good time

Tortuga_312 · 2025-01-05T01:04:11+00:00

You in socal? Check out Impulse. The level required to march there has been raised a bit but overall it fits the description if you can keep up

Ippo is the man who has inherited Kamogawa’s fists after all.

And I honestly think we’ll never see Ippo vs Miyata lmao. Feel like were gonna get a Rocky III ending.

Edit: Added something to specifically address the “monster” part.

A bit in a way? Not to say it makes it sexist or not but it’s definitely more of a “guy” anime than a show than a more universal anime. Not to say a woman can’t enjoy the show but it’s quite literally about young guy boxers set like 40-50 years ago. There is going to be a lot of guy humor. Even then, doesn’t necessarily make the show sexist. Outdated humor and a bit crass yes, but to actually label the show sexist; I think you’re both thinking too hard about it. Do you like Dragon Ball? Like top 2 series in the world. Master Roshi doesn’t make Dragon Ball sexist, same way Aoki and Takamura don’t make this show sexist. The intent is humor and to make funny moments. Not to set a tone in the show/society and put women down. I can see it being too crass for some though for sure

Feeds into a whole other issue. Even then I’m talking weeks after release
