Picasso reaching into the future
I accidented across this quote from Picasso...
Been watching Planet of the Apes with my father, which has reinvigorated my love for gibbon monkeys. (streamable.com)
I love them so much. Has this sublemmy got any more POTA fans by the way? Y’all looking forward to Part 2 Chapter 1 (aka Planet of the Apes 4)?...
Sorry, no more Flying Squid health updates no matter what. Goodbye.
Too many “doctors” have told me that I’m just whining and the Mayo Clinic is just some expensive place for privileged people and the reason I haven’t eaten for months is because I don’t want to....
It's another Flying Squid health update thread! You guys let me know if you've had enough. Edit: Some good news!
Background links:...
If you make a grammar/spelling mistake in your comment and realize later will you edit it to fix it?
I know I will, but it also leaves an edited mark on the comments so I’m curious about your thoughts
Not really casual but I i don't know where to put this. I lost a school kid last week...
It’s very sad, but with the holiday weekend I’ve been able to keep it in the back of my mind instead of the front. Now that Mom is sharing info on services, i can’t imagine actually going there and seeing and what to say… and it’s getting to me, a lot. Today is a celebration day in my house and i don’t want to bring...
It's the 1st of April! Did you do or get an April's Fool? What was it?
Who's Up?
I just got to work at 02:30, covering the second half of the graveyard shift. Pretty quiet night.
I like to eat a tomato like it's an apple
If given a new life would you choose to be born the same sex that you were?
I mean like I accept who I was born as but if given the choice I’d choose to be born a woman, yk? Idk but I kinda envy them a bit but i’m fine being an unsexy man...
"Men are bad at picking up on women's hints." What are your actual thoughts on this sentiment?
Either through memes or comments I keep seeing this sentiment pop-up from time to time. And I’m wondering what your (yes, you) consensus is on it....
What's your hobby or hobbies?
Personally: Hiking, biking, photography, DnD, and fixing things....
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....
Would you be in favour of assisted dying being introduced for terminally ill patients in your country?
With the discussion of whether assisted dying should be allowed in Scotland befing brought up again, I was wondering what other people thought of the topic....
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....
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...
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....
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.
what are some silly things that you can put on a resume than most people don't realize?
Examples:...
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?...
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....
It's Saturday! What are you doing at the same time as browsing Lemmy?
I’m watching Love on the Spectrum with my husband (great show!), eating a coconut popsicle, and petting one of my dogs. It’s a great Saturday night in my book :)
