If given a new life would you choose to be born the same sex that you were?

Sorry, no health updates. I've been on hold for 2 days and now it's the weekend. So here's a few observations about the weirdness of Rochester, MN and more crazy mother stories!
Hello! Another super-long Flying Squid post from my visit to the Mayo Clinic here in Rochester, Minnesota. I’d link to the background, but there’s been too many (requested) update posts at this point. Sorry for anyone new to this who actually reads to the end....
Since you asked for updates- I had a big setback.
I went to the neurologist this morning and after all of his tests, he said he couldn’t find anything neurological that could be wrong with me. He thought it might be behavioral, but that wouldn’t explain the morning heaving. He sent all of my records back to the gastro doctor and we’ll see what they say when they get back...
Would you be in favour of assisted dying being introduced for terminally ill patients in your country?

What did you get up to during the COVID quarantine?
I was in school so when that was put on hold I essentially played video games like it was a job. I remember vividly playing Grand Theft Auto IV in one sitting for the Liberty City Minute achievement and I’m pretty sure I played through Master Chief Collection....
Would you care if a robot suffered more than any being in existence?
Assuming AI can achieve consciousness, or something adjacent (capacity to suffer), then how would you feel if an AI experienced the greatest pain possible?...

I sent flowers to my best friend, anonymously
She means the world to me, I just want her to be happy. I don’t know if she’ll realize they’re from me....
Are housecats aware of how much bigger people are? (feddit.de)
I’m wondering if cats think of us kind of like how a person thinks of a friendly bull: aware that they could easily kill us, but not necessarily afraid of them; or more like a large Dalmatian: they could fuck us up, but most of us don’t really think about that unless they’re being aggressive....
If your pet had the ability to answer only one question, what would you ask?
My husband and both gave the obvious and identical answer. I’m really curious to see what Lemmy comes up with.
Update for those following my mystery health problems: I'm at the Mayo Clinic. We may have at least a partial diagnosis!
Mods: Multiple people have asked me for an update, so I hope this is okay....
What is CHS? Marijuana advocates warn of a little-known condition affecting heavy users. Do you wake up in the morning and dry heave all day? (news.yahoo.com)
You VERY likely have CHS, which means you’re definitely overdoing the weed and should go cold turkey if you can manage that....
Dreamy
I was having a bad stressful dream like I often do. But then I realized I was just dreaming and that I don’t want to dream this shite. So then I dreamed something else....

So, I have been giving this a lot of thought and come November I won’t be voting for team blue or team red in the upcoming elections, but I will be voting for a candidate I belive in....
PTSD/CPTSD non military
Something I have stuck in my head and frustrates me, was from years ago news media talking about PTSD in regards to civilians. The conversation felt very dismissive as if it was not possible to suffer from PTSD unless they fought in a war....
What is something that was explained to you wrong such that you could never understand it, and you received a clarifying explanation that finally made sense?

Does anyone here know much about Rochester, Minnesota?
I am going to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN next week and I’m told I could expect to be there up to 10 days. From my searching, it seems like there is very little to do in Rochester and I have a feeling I’ll have plenty of down time, so I would love some suggestions of what I can do other than sit in my AirBnB with my...
Am i missing out on anything other than porn by disabling NSFW on lemmy ?
Like am i missing out on big boy talk, gore, news etc that are adult ? Lemmy should seriously get a second filter like one that filters porn and the other that filters the rest if that is the case . Anyway what do you think ? Should news etc. be put behind nsfw ? I know i am straying far off the primary question but i am just...
