My mother had dementia but that didn’t kill her. Diverticulitis in her intestines ruptured and she died from sepsis. It was pretty awful, she was in a lot of pain and hospice was brutal because it didn’t Help her pass for 7 days. Watching a parent shut down over the course of a week and having nurses who are more or less butchers with syringes make up stories because they’re sadistic about what your mother is going through and when she’s going to pass and all of the in between made my last few days with her days I will never forget.

Everybody knew about it but us. Seems kind of interesting to me. This is like the enigma code. Whereas if you saved everybody the Germans figured out that their code was compromised. So you had to have some sacrificial lambs in order to keep it believable.

2·11 days agoExactly. Example: my dad’s house needs 3 new bathrooms, a new roof and repaint. Also new basement lighting and a new family room carpet. What people will be buying is the closeness to grocery, Costco, the highway, rural views, a lake, and a major airport.

2·25 days agoThe same can be said for it all. Big grocery is a cancer. But so are over priced farm to table country stores. We need pricing to make sense because in the end we all lose.

politics @lemmy.world•Ted Cruz Admits Trump Accounts Are Designed to Privatize Social Security Over Time | Common DreamsEnglish
31·2 months agoMaybe they should do something like a milestone payment. So you’re able to put money away like social security but you can access it every 10 years. So if I put money away from 20 to 30 I can access that money at 30 and then I can put money away from 30 to 40 and then I can access that money at 40. The whole idea of working your entire life to if you’re lucky get social security at 65 is kind of ridiculous to me because you’re more prone to drop dead during the 65 to 75 decade. So what a waste that is. If I could get myself 5,000 extra dollars when I hit 30 from the savings that I accrued from the decade prior that would be something.

51·4 months agoIt’s literally just the type of person. My father is the same way. He’s the same age as Donald Trump, comes from the same area of the world and has the same misogynistic high School waspy elitism BS. I’ve had to yell at my father because he’s insulted people not to their faces but they’re 3 ft away and he says something about them that they can completely hear. Out of politeness they don’t say anything back. My mother died and we kept her car and it was having some problems. Wo brought it to the dealership so they could diagnose it and the service technician behind the counter was gay. So the guy speaks and had the gay lisp and what does my father do but say under his breath “wow that guy’s a little lite in his loafers.” Now he didn’t say it low enough so I only heard it he said it low enough where everyone within 10 ft heard it including the service tech. My father thought nothing wrong of his insult and it was rather proud of himself. When he was up next in line the service technician looked at him and said oh no you’re the other guy’s customer and then walked away from him, the other guy had three more people before my father. I just died laughing and I said to him “see Dad that’s what you get for being a rude asshole.”

Some of the people doing the fan-based YouTube Star Wars videos are using AI and I can honestly say the short clips are amazing. So he’s not wrong in that aspect.
