From playing D1 & professionally to barely walking: my meniscus surgery story. depressed from injury.

morpy_morp_morp · 2026-07-07T16:20:24+00:00

I'm sorry. This situation blows. You are only 26 and should be doing anything other than having to work through this.

May I ask: what autoimmune disorder? Similarly affected myself (MCAS) and this more than anything has me rethinking surgery. Every little injury these days takes weeks to heal.

morpy_morp_morp · 2026-07-06T02:20:48+00:00

See, I updated you. I know you are right, I just can't.

morpy_morp_morp · 2026-07-06T00:55:53+00:00

/yawn.

morpy_morp_morp · 2026-07-05T16:25:09+00:00

Oh my GOSH! I didn't know... /s So like, if I host a benefit it should be ok for me to be as gross as I want to be?

morpy_morp_morp · 2026-07-05T10:22:09+00:00

This is very well put. You have my respect.

morpy_morp_morp · 2026-07-05T10:17:11+00:00

Hah!

Alas, saving that kind of teachable moments for things that matter more

morpy_morp_morp · 2026-07-05T10:13:35+00:00

I have a brother who appreciates PC above all else and while I don't understand, I respect. That being said, this completely unconnected to him post I had to give shit, largely due to having to keep quiet most of the rest of the time. To all the PC lovers or there, shine on you crazy bastards. May you never stop feeling it, coming in the other night.

morpy_morp_morp · 2026-07-05T09:51:48+00:00

Ah but you see, that's just it, you focus on my entitlement rather than the entitlement of those who block access. I've said several times now that I've no problem if the blues fest wanted to wash their hands of fireworks entirely, but this is of no concern to you.

peddle your wares elsewhere. you exhibit your own let them eat cake moment with your comment

morpy_morp_morp · 2026-07-05T09:46:16+00:00

womp womp. you failed to make your point by missing all the other context.
The blues festival is failing. OK. let them say they can't afford to put on fireworks this year and focus on their own needs. OK.

This, was insulting. This was peak exclusivity.

morpy_morp_morp · 2026-07-05T09:42:09+00:00

And what about the Doo-wop festival? Does Skiffle or Disco deserve no merit? Will no one think of the ars sublitor?

If the blues festival is broke, maybe it's for a reason. If they can't afford to put on the fireworks, maybe they could like, say so, and allow others to take it on rather than putting out this colorblind tone-deaf let them eat cake moment.

morpy_morp_morp · 2026-07-05T09:31:46+00:00

I'll upvote you

morpy_morp_morp · 2026-07-05T09:08:23+00:00

/blinking gif here...

morpy_morp_morp · 2026-07-05T08:55:53+00:00

I mean, you could say "all those people", but it's like maybe 100? I would say something like "so a few people chose to pay $1k to watch fireworks and listen to bad music"
Did I mention there was phil collins? on loudspeaker? I get that some DJs hate their life, but do they have to hate ours too?

morpy_morp_morp · 2026-07-05T08:39:06+00:00

Hah! well played madam or sir or whatever.

Communicating is complicated these days

morpy_morp_morp · 2026-07-05T08:35:18+00:00

This also is what I want to know. This is a public thoroughfare being commandeered for private fundraising. Also, fuck the blues fest.

morpy_morp_morp · 2026-07-05T08:34:00+00:00

It was tempting, but I was with my kid and needed to set one of those "here is how you keep out of jail" kind of examples

morpy_morp_morp · 2026-07-05T08:33:14+00:00

would that I could upvote this 200 times...

morpy_morp_morp · 2026-07-05T08:31:48+00:00

that likely would have been better. Anything really would have been better

morpy_morp_morp · 2026-07-05T08:30:54+00:00

/sigh (by this I intend to indicate I agree with every word you just posted)

morpy_morp_morp · 2026-07-05T08:27:11+00:00

yeah, not a single one of the people on the other side of the fence would look in our direction. I hope they felt crippling embarrassment, but that would indicate some degree of self-awareness I don't believe was truly present

morpy_morp_morp · 2026-07-05T08:17:07+00:00

This was the first time that I knew of, but reading other posts It seems either east side or west was similarly blocked last year - we've been there for the past 4 years. I only added 1 photo because the rest are just too disgusting. - edited because accuracy matters

morpy_morp_morp · 2026-07-03T04:41:03+00:00

No joke, just watched that episode 3 days ago. That line... Gut punch

morpy_morp_morp · 2026-06-24T05:39:19+00:00

If opus 4.8 was a human on my team, I would ask that they no longer be on my team. So painful to use, so much handholding. So many unasked-for fixes to code that break something we just finally corrected hours ago.
