Is this a shower thought?
- Comment on Everyone thinks their condition normal before finding out it's not. 19 hours ago:
We discovered I had some kidney cysts. Which isn’t unusual, fairly normal above a certain age apparently.
One had previously burst (during a time when I thought it was overexertion during ten days hiking a trail) and had left scarring. As I had had no complications (other than three days of constantly feeling like someone kept stabbing my back), it was considered normal and had resolved without any other complications than some scarring.
The other popped recently, and it felt like someone had stabbed me in my sleep, it jolted me awake, hurt like hell and then I had bloody urine with clots. Was scary, but once I went through ultrasound and cat-scans it was deemed as not all that unusual and not to worry. I am now on antibiotics and oxy, with a follow up visit later this week once my blood results come back.

Well, my popping kidney cysts certainly didn’t feel normal. But my doctor told me it wasn’t unusual, and just to deal with it with some meds.
- Comment on Japan, Australia, and South Korea to skip NATO summit 2 days ago:
Understandable, especially if the orange taco turd wanted them there.

I grok you, but nobody groks them, as they’re incomprehensible and incompetent.
- Comment on When a person follows you and watches your every move, it's called stalking. When companies like Meta do it, it's just called collecting user data. 3 weeks ago:
I just had that comment the other day from a recruiter who “dug into” my socials with the help of “expert tools”. She said “Aww… you seem really nice to everyone!” (eller “Faaaan… du framstår som så trevlig mot allt och alla!”) after browsing all my non-anonymous social posts and seeing which Facebook groups I’ve participated in. I had just about deleted my Meta accounts before I realized I needed to have some kind of semblance of “social posting”, as my LinkedIn and such were pretty meager. The recruiting company unfortunately seems to prove that I need to have a social media trail in order to be employable in my field of expertise. Which has literally nothing to do with social media.

Oh, you sweet summer child.
- Comment on Whats the best way to deep dive into learning a language without apps? 5 weeks ago:
Tv, short form media, game shows or even ridiculous things like kids shows. Is there e.g. a similar show to Taskmaster (or some similar show in your more familiar language) in that language. You will not understand all the entendres but will see a different kind of language structure that isn’t as linear as news, series or movies might have.

Once they start verifying the votes, every vote helps.

Most normal issues in a relationship can be worked on, and sometimes it actually helps to ask strangers on the internet to bounce off thoughts, fears or misunderstandings and gain a different perspective.
