  • My experience says it probably doesn’t matter however you choose to tell them but do tell them, as soon as you can. They’ll want input on your decisions you know. They’ll probably want you to fight this. They’ll probably ask a lot of you. They’ll demand you “waste away enduring treatment” But do tell them anyway, for them.

    That’s what this is about, yeah? Just bite the bullet and do it, today. Get it out there. Then listen to them when they speak. Maybe you’ll change your mind. Maybe you’ll decide to fight. Maybe you will not. But don’t you keep it a secret, that’s against the rules. You made a deal with your family, don’t break it because you’re afraid of losing a fight you could win.

    I dunno if it’s always the case but it can have long lasting effects on them if you don’t give them their chance to say goodbye. My wife (40) still has trouble with the shock and loss from 8 years old when her gramma kept her cancer from her family until the very end.

    So ill shut up now, feel weird already talking so confidently bout something so personal to someone…So log off, buck up, and tell them. You know they’re gonna bug the shit out of you, but who knows, maybe they’ll convince you. Maybe during this trouble you all will find a deeper love together than you knew you could feel.

    Obviously some Internet asswipe like me can’t be trusted with something so important. Don’t be afraid of their love, go tell em, right now. <3




  • I dunno what dating experience you have, or even if everyone does this. Only speaking to my own experience, i used to calculate whether i was being a good mate or whether i was being taken advantage, that kind of thinking. When i met my partner all that stuff disappeared.

    I glossed over the “get head right” stage but that was the most important bit for me, and may be where you are in life if you follow my path.

    I am and have always been a romantic, really wanted to be with someone. Gave up even looking for dates and focused on my own head and life. Went to the gym, got a little project to do, (you know, that pat shit everyone says to do like it’s fucking easy.)

    It just happened to be something i was capable of in that moment. I i discovered them what it means when ppl say exercise is good for your brain. And then, while i was busy minding my business i got chased down and married by someone who saw more in me than i see in myself.

    I’m definitely not special in any way, solid 6/10. That means it can happen to you even tho it sounds like I’m blowing smoke up your ass.

    Anyway i don’t know how to finish this, but i really empathize with where you are cuz i was there too. i just wanna extend the belief to you that you can get here, you really can.





  • Well, i’m just goin by how insurance ends up working in the us so take it for what it’s worth. Problem is for-profit insurance companies in the States are so badly regulated they are denying the very claims they exist to pay. You are right that people need help and i didn’t really offer an alternative. If you pressed me on how, i guess i’d advocate govt. assistance for disaster relief as a superior choice. It would be far better for citizens money to be spent on taxes towards this than to a private company. How do i know this? I don’t, but my experience how private insurance “serves” me and people i know here in the land of the free couldn’t be fuckin worse.












  • here is a nice writeup on red herring and even tips on how to use it more effectively than you’ve been. The first important thing is understanding the term.

    I’ll help you over this hill youre lyin’ on… Your actual argument from the beginning is that “Israel as a state entity should continue to exist.”

    Your “red herring’s” purpose is to obfuscate your final position (Israel as a state should continue, simply because it’s already there.)

    By diverting attention towards how difficult it could be logistically, you hide from the immorality of israel’s existence.

    My OG reply simultaneously dismisses your “ok but how?” argument as fallacious and addresses your real point, “israel should exist”. If you actually think israel should exist as an ethnostate someplace, i actually think your country should host them and you should move out so they can have it.

    You have not done anything since except complain how its not fair i ignored your bad faith.

    Can you please take a little more care in your next response?
