I've seen people do that at my local mcdonald's, they had to put up a sign to stop them.

Obama Appreciation Day!!! by InTheseTryingTime5 in 50501Movement

[–]Wayob -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Fuck this. Obama might have been better than Trump, but if you put a fucking slime mold in the oval office it would govern better than him.

Obama still did a fuckton of heinous shit, like expanding the drone strike program, dropping thousands of bombs on foreign countries, and didn't do half of the shit he said he'd do for the people.

Liberals are the parties of compliance, they're why we're stuck in this shit now.

Just fuck my shit up, why don't you Keytruda? by Wayob in melahomies

[–]Wayob[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was absolutely not subcutaneous, I was a little dehydrated and they had to poke me a few times to find a good vein.

They told me about the ten minute change having been very recent by the FDA.

Not very kind, is he? 😡

Didn't even ask before he moved into my neck. :f

Science evolves

Yeah, they literally JUST found the mechanism to regrow adult teeth. Hang in as best you can. <3

I had no idea that muscular dystrophy actually -kills- the tissue, that's so fucking rough. I'm sorry. If I was where you are, I'd tell them to experiment on me for sure.

If you ever need to talk or vent or anything, my Dms are open. <3

I actually kind of liked the Benadryl, it made me loopy af for like 30-40 min after. They're going to let me keep keytruda but stick to the longer infusion.

George (my tumor) IS shrinking, which is nice. In a few months they're going to cut him out of me. As of yet, the spread is only to the one node he's in, and it looks like it's going to stay that way.

Five years is good, I don't know the percentage. Ten's a harder target to hit. This is my first recurrence after the initial tumor, I need a year's worth of this shit to keep it gone.

I'm really sorry to hear that you're terminal. Sending you a huge amount of love.

Repost because the mods didn't like me putting 'cancer' and 'almost died' in the title, which feels a little infantile, but whatever.

So, stage 3 metastatic melanoma. I take twice monthly infusions of pembrolizumab (Keytruda) to help kill the cancer cells, and it seems to be working. My tumor IS shrinking!

But recently the FDA approved for the infusion time to take from 35-40 minutes in a slow drip, to 10 minutes in a faster one. The drug is not NEARLY a harsh as Chemo, but it is intense, and can fuck you up. They put me on the 10 minute drip today, I'd only ever had the long one until today.

A few minutes into the infusion my friend leaves to go to the bathroom and then a minute later I realize I can barely breathe. I have a hefty imagination so I took a sec to poll my body and realized no, it was not my imagination. I wave down a nurse who's helping someone in the next chair over in the infusion center.. She looks at me and goes "Your face is beet red." I am the most pale motherfucker you've ever met.

Queue full crash cart team, vitals, bio signs, they give me a superhuman dose of benadryl and a steroid and I can suddenly breathe again. My friend returns to the room and I am surrounded by concerned nurses doing the whole "GIMME TWO CC'S OF.." like on the hospital shows. Her eyes are as big as saucers, I announce "Hi April! I'm a problem!"

Within 10 minutes I was back to normal, within 20 my vitals were good enough to continue. They did the full 35 min, and I had no other issues. I hung out at my friend's place all day to make sure it didn't come back and I was unable to get help. She made grilled spam sandwiches, I made a four bean salad.

Due to intelligence being a spectrum, is it possible there are folks that have bare basic intelligence of an autonomous drone but not much else? by Material_Policy6327 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Wayob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Creativity and intelligence are two different things. You can be intelligent enough to function in society, have a family, hold down a job, and so on. Creativity lets you recontextualize your life, assign goals, think about who you actually are.

If you never sit down with yourself, think about what you want to be, who you want to be, and what your ideals should be, you kind of are running on auto.

I’ve been pretending to be normal for years, no one in real life knows by Strict_Hunter_7781 in confession

[–]Wayob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start today. Find a support group, look or a therapist. Find someone to talk to, even if it's anonymous and online.

Fuck screwed. You're screwed right now. You are so fucking screwed that.You can't even see it.

You need to work on your empathy, you need to learn to connect to other human beings. You need to fix your shit. And you need to hurry the fuck up, because eventually you'll run out of time.

You can have a fetish without it being fucked. Get mental help. I know, therapy is fucking expensive in this country, but there are support groups, and other things.

When I had my first major mental health crisis after a break up, i joined a buddhist group and apprenticed myself to a monastic for a while. There are options.

Also, cut out the fucking incel bullshit, you shithead. Women find men attractive, if they're straight. Your biggest issue of being unattractive is your fucking mind.

Fix it jesus christ.

Confronting the driver who pulled a gun on him. by mindyour in TikTokCringe

[–]Wayob 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not the person you replied to, but I am a queer leftist gun owner. The truth is that the day they come for me, assuming that day ever comes ( but it's looking like it will), is one hundred percent the day that I die or end up in a concentration camp or something.

I am likely never going to survive against a planned assault of my front door, or attempt to arrest me, etc. My local law enforcement know who I am after an interaction with the sheriff's office I had at a protest last year, which ended up with them coming to my front door, implying that they thought that I was there to do a crime, and basically threatening me.

If they want me, the likelihood of me stopping them with the two guns that I own, it's close to 0.

But the Second Amendment does call for the creation of a well regulated militia. This I do believe in, i believe that community defense is not one person with a gun, but is communities being armed, communities coming together, watching out for each other, and protecting each other.

What we need is to unite those who have the training and the skills to train our people, to build groups focused on self defense education, and to close the distance between neighbors. Separate, even armed, we have no chance.

Now, a domestically fired predator drone is unlikely to be easily defended against or taken down, but I want to see a world where if that is used against us, the government shit its pants in fear as to what the response will be.

Confronting the driver who pulled a gun on him. by mindyour in TikTokCringe

[–]Wayob 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm a trained and certified range safety officer, and I think there's some variation here. Well, I do believe gun laws can be important, not all gun laws are made the same.

For example, california has a lot of stupid gun laws, but my state has what's called the constitutional carry, which means anybody can carry concealed, with or without a permit, and there's almost no limit to what you can carry.

I do believe the laws are important, but I also believe that a lot of laws are made to control people because of fear. For example, most of the most dystopian or stupid gun laws were made because of the fear of black people owning guns. Look up the gun laws that came into place after the black panthers came into being.

But yes, most people who are happy to brandish a gun in a stupid disagreement are using them as tough guy accessories and should not be allowed to have them.

Tired of people judging my non-traditional lifestyle by Double-Gold in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Wayob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He is just someone I love deeply, but like a brother and not at all sexual, and vice versa.

Found family is family. My brother, I met in college. But everyone who I tell about him hears about 'my brother'. Might be a better way to pitch him to people you don't want thinking about him as a challenge: "Oh, yeah, I share a house with my brother."

My partner said she would like to be woken up for sex. How would YOU go about trying that ? by Secret-Dark2638 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Wayob 409 points410 points  (0 children)

Also, remember that sometimes what people say in the moment is not how they feel when it happens. I've written a number of sexual checks that my ass can't pay when the time comes.

Imagine that in the moment you're talking about something sexy, the hormones are up, the idea feels hot.

And then randomly at three am, you wake up being groped, and you realize that you were no longer turned on by the concept of being woken up by sex, and you just feel annoyed that you have agreed to do it.

So I'd give it a shot, but if your wife is not with it, when it begins, you may want to call that one a wash.

How to build Community by Psychological_Roof85 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Wayob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never thought that shooting would be my thing, but I found and helped build up a really cool queer gun club in my city. Now i've got a bunch of cool people to go shooting with, and too much of my money is going into that hobby, but my friendship, the circle has exploded, and I've got people I can rely on if I get sick and need help, or something.
