  • I can get it to run just fine, it just looks like a game from the 1990s if only the colors brown, more brown and poop brown were used. I'm sure it's a great game but since the graphics make me throw up 20 mins in and there are no accessibility options I will never get to play it.

  • That's the problem, no one remembers these idiots so the next generation keeps making the same mistakes. We should write this shit down in books, then actually teach it to kids, but fuck funding the soft sciences as long as the football team has new jerseys.

    I hate the waiting.

    Went in for a just in case colonoscopy/endoscopy for my lung NETs, my specialist just wanted to make sure but didn't expect there to be anything, just dotting the i's, is how she put it. Turns out I have a big old tumor in my stomach all the other tests missed, the blood tests, the PET scans, the specialised NET PET scan all missed. Apparently stomach tumors don't always show up on PT scans and my CT scans were only of my chest. So now yet again I sit and wait for official biopsy results. I hate the waiting.

    What are some conspiracy theories you absolutely believe to be true?
  • I think it's more a case that every other thing they've accused the Democrats of, at some point in history ends up being true for Republicans of one sort or another. This is the only accusation that so far hasn't appeared to be a projection, I think the poster suspects that it is, we just haven't found it yet.

  • What are some conspiracy theories you absolutely believe to be true?
  • I believe the NRA is involved in money laundering for the Russian mob and Trump ran for office to do the same thing, launder money through donations and by paying for advertising for donations with dirty money and getting clean clean donations back.

  • OMFG. Seriously that's all I can think to say Oh My Fucking God. Not just the potential damage it can do to trans kids, but also just the total fucking waste of time and effort for no fucking purpose but performance. It's like the fucking TSA, not actually doing anything, just making a few idiots feel safer with their little song and dance.

  • Republicans vs Democrats
  • Meh, only one wants to take away my rights and the other one wants to give me free healthcare and cancel student debt. Not saying that the one that wants to protect my rights doesn't have problems, but the 2 parties sure as shit are not the same.

  • What is going on with the Lemmy world front page?

    Is it a problem for everyone or just me? I'm getting a weird gif and the site name has been changed to left corner but the address is still the same. I do not know enough about computers or the federverse to know what is happening, I'm old enough that I came from a time when everything got hacked all the time and am just assuming it's been hacked or my account has been hacked or is the server owner having a breakdown, making a joke, or what? Because I feel like I'm missing something just because I left the house today and didn't check on Lemmy for a while.

    Cancer @lemmy.world wwaxwork @lemmy.world

    Lung Neuroendocrine Tumors and DIPNECH.

    As I'm hoping to see the community grow so we can offer advice and support to each other I thought I'd write a little about my cancer so maybe others will see and join in.

    I have Neuroendocrine Tumors in my lungs, never smoked a day in my life, a fact I was so smug to my peers about as a teen that I sometimes wonder if I got lung cancer just from the sheer irony of it. I'm "lucky" in that Neuroendocrine Tumors (NETs) are usually very slow growing, and all the doctors like to tell me we caught it early, but it doesn't feel lucky. They removed my lower left lung lobe, telling me that they got it early, it hadn't spread and I would be all but cancer free. Only next scan I have 3 little micro tumors popping up that weren't there before.

    Turns out I have a rare condition, so rare that there is actually no idea how many people actually have the condition, but estimates are around 200 in the USA, of those 95% are post menopausal women. Diffuse Idiopathic Pulmonary Neuroendocrine Cell Hyperplasia. It's a mouthful but basically for some reason, the neuroendocrine cells lining my bronchi, just woke up one day and started reproducing like crazy, something they stop doing before you're born. They reproduce so often and so fast they can throw off teeny tiny endocrine tumors, which means eventually your lungs get riddled with 10's of teeny tiny tumors that start growing and blocking your airways. Then for fun, rarely one of those tumors might just decide to be a small cell cancer, just to keep you on your toes.

    There are a couple of treatment options, but I hit that wonderful catch 22 situation I'm sure others of you maybe have had with cancer treatment. We can't do anything until we're sure it's cancer (even though the 2 tumors they got from my left lung were definitely NETs), but it's not bad enough we will risk a biopsy to prove it's cancer yet. So you just have to wait. No one ever tells you how much of cancer treatment and follow up feels like hurry up and wait.

    Anyway I hope we can build a community here, I know it takes time but I look forward to getting to know more people and hear about their journeys, either with cancer or supporting someone with cancer.
