I was 23. Just a young fella over there. Probably haven’t even broken a hip yet.

I went to uni right out of highschool. Became a paramedic. Has a good career but it just wasn’t what I wanted. By 25 I quit and was travelling doing odd jobs or whatever I could. Meeting people, seeing places. It wasn’t easy but I wouldn’t change it for the world. I’ve been many places, done many things, met so many interesting people and completely changed my world view from when I was 20 because of it all.

I say don’t let society tell you what is right or normal. Find your own path. Do things you find interesting and don’t make your life about your work. Now I am old and have medical issues. I’ll be 50 this year. I’m glad I lived while I had the opportunity. It’s your life make it what you want it to be not someone else’s idea of life.

Us too. Inappropriate memes that make us laugh. Avoids the “can I see” from the kids.

I signed a DNR when I was diagnosed with cancer. I worked as a Paramedic for a long time. I just choose personally to not go through the huge suffering if things should go bad. I had the surgery but refused the rest knowing problems for someone young having major poisons pumped into their body. I was fortunate and didn’t have to use the DNR and surgery seems to have worked well for the time being, aside from some disability.

My family was understanding but I have always been open about my beliefs and desires about major illness and DNR with them. I’d suggest a frank conversation with those you love. Expect that someone won’t understand but also know your life is yours and not anyone else’s.

Former paramedic here. There is a subsect of patient like this. It’s psychiatric. They’re admittedly terrible to deal with but they need psyche help as much as they dophysical medical help.

Someone is gonna bust my balls but whatever. We have an Alienware R8 hooked up to a 20 year old Sony flatscreen tv and an LG sound bar. No fucking about at all.

Ahhh, a fellow stick your dick in crazy enthusiast. Lemmy is starting to have it all.

Or a bowl of ketchup and a spoon with fries on top as garnish.

I told my wife the same…repeatedly. We are Canadian though.

All day yesterday. It happens occasionally.

As a not really techy person but one who has been cruising online for a long long time I feel Lemmy is a lot like old old Reddit. Reddit was full of techies when I joined. It grew over the years into a bigger thing but it started with a bunch of nerds talking about shit I didn’t understand.

Sculpt. Mixed media but mostly antler/bone, Copper and clay.

If in Canada consider Ketchup chips. Fuck you Stacie you scared the shit out of me.

In order to understand the usefulness of the blender you have to actually use it a lot. It has to be a common item of use in your life. As a kitchen person who loves cooking, that new blender is the best thing since I used a commercial robo coup in restaurant kitchens. A $12 blender is a piece of crap that has to be poked, prodded, messed with and talked nice to just to make a damn smoothie.

Shoes though. I’m with you there. Feet and teeth. You get one life with them and use them every day. Take care of em.

You can do this between your fingers as well. Just use a motion like you are snapping your fingers just more gentle.

Vegetable Farmer here. That shit is already gross. Wash your veggies.

The best boat is someone else’s boat.
