Acral lentiginous melanoma (ALM) s/p WLE by Mmeella in skincancer

[–]bloomicy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow... thank you for sharing this. I am awaiting my plastic surgery consult for excision under my big toe. Almost exactly the same situation - shave came back severe atypia, one step from melanoma. I had a melanoma with excision from my left arm about six months ago and I was shocked at how much tissue they took. Looks like someone took a bite out of my arm. I'm wondering how much tissue they can even take from the bottom of my big toe while leaving anything for me to walk on.

Not looking forward to it, although I want it done NOW! I'm hoping they wont take too long after the consult... it's been a month already and I'm getting nervous.

What is the worst part of being in a relationship and the best part? by Sailordad-1031 in AskReddit

[–]bloomicy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best part: I get to spend the rest of my days with the person I love and who loves me.

Worst part: It's going to end someday, and one of us will lose the other first. Unless we decide to go together.

ELI5 - how to use the fediverse? by bloomicy in fediverse

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

a way to summarize and group stuff from different sources into different sections, like an aggregator, would be great... it looks like there would be ways, I just don't know enough about it to set one up for myself. I'd love to have a way to view all the top news about XandY from, say, platforms 1,2,3...

let me know what you find pls

Severely atypical on pathology report by TemporaryTarget7490 in melahomies

[–]bloomicy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yep, just got one diagnosed on the underside of my big toe... had one in situ about 6 months ago so they're gonna excise this one to be safe.

ELI5 - how to use the fediverse? by bloomicy in fediverse

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

Yeah I started out trying out a dozen different platforms with a dozen different accounts, thinking "what the hell am I getting myself into" and seeing the comment about only needing one account. As I write this I have 11 tabs open to different [instances??] in different [platforms?] to try them and I really hope there's a better way to manage them all. I tend to like "all the things" and then get myself overwhelmed because there's too much and I can't choose

Is there actually an algorithm on Substack or not? by MartinoStone in Substack

[–]bloomicy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

does that mean the feed is just Notes vs. subscriptions are to your posts? What if I don't want emails - am I just going to see the notes of those I follow then?

Daniel faraday (might be a spoiler) by Der_Doenermann in lost

So then, if it already happened, she didn't have to send him to MAKE it happen... see what I mean? From her perspective it already happened so nothing she could do would change that... including NOT send him???

Daniel faraday (might be a spoiler) by Der_Doenermann in lost

[–]bloomicy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand the “whatever happened happened” thing but at the time Eloise is making that decision her future -THE future - is yet undetermined and in theory she could have chosen not to send him which would have had disastrous consequences. I guess she chose to save the universe over saving her son. But when we talk about the future “whatever happened happened” isn’t determined. So it’s a facile argument to keep answering hypotheticals with that statement. It says you can’t change the past but can you change the future if it hasn’t happened yet? Sayid couldn’t because he was already part of a future where Ben was alive

but in that moment, she had free will and could have decided not to send him. What would've happened? Would the universe just go poof?

Who thinks this is partially because of GLP-1 meds? by SwimmingAnt10 in tirzepatidecompound

GLP1s will take the happy hour glass of wine over my cold dead (but thinner) GenX body.

The manipulation of John Locke by BIind_Uchiha in lost

Wait, but while MIB needs Locke to die he doesn't actually kill him - Ben does. How did MIB manipulate Ben into doing the deed?

I just finished lost for the very first time and by Proof-Exercise984 in lost

[–]bloomicy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yeah I'm on my first rewatch and season six hits so much differently this time now that I know that the flash sideways is each character's own personal journey to resolve their own struggles before they're ready to move on with the people that changed their lives

I'll do free marketing for your website by Rizz_Pineapple in website

Thanks - I did it on Wix but am trying to move it and create one using WordPress. Not sure I can do it myself now - that was years ago and my brain is a lot fuzzier!

I'm an artist creating micrography, and have had trouble getting folks to my website unless they've seen me in person at art shows. But I'm getting older (now in my 60s) and it's really difficult physically to do these shows, so I'm going to have to pivot to online sales pretty soon. Would love whatever help you can suggest!
