Biden has a hell of a good chance of his prostate cancer not killing him.

Scott Adams, seeing that someone else is getting attention decided to claim he also is "dying from prostate cancer." You know what's funny about that, if it hasn't metastasized, it's easily treatable. So typically if one had treatable prostate cancer, you'd say "Oh, I also have prostate cancer but the prognosis is good." If it's not great, you'd mention that a "prostatectomy" where they remove the prostate entirely, is a possibility for recovery. And in the worst case situations, you mention that it has metastasized.

If you're an asshole, you just claim you are "dying of prostate cancer" and leave it at that because you want the attention and you are a lying buffoon.

How do I know? Because I'm a fucking prostate cancer survivor. I was told all the options and considerations. And none of them were to post on social media, "Oh I'm dying of this." Fuck you, Scott. I hope you are dying of cancer.

Legit question: when all your reps are firmly in the Trump camp, who do you contact to say you disagree?

"I didn't vote for you before, so don't support this thing or I won't vote for you again, because you've been a corrupt piece of shit ever since you got into politics." doesn't seem to have the right ring.

Hey news, stop making the former President's prostate cancer diagnosis political. Want to know what party cancer is in favor of? All of them, any time it feels like it. Stop it, and fuck cancer.

Looks like Alibaba's LLM scraper has found my home network. It's overwhelming the haproxy that's front-ending the site, which is somehow causing the pi itself to falter and fall over. Possibly OOM killing critical services. I've blocked them at the firewall, let's see if it stops failing.

Pi5 that's been running my mastodon instance has had hard lockups the last three days in a row. no messages, just sudden hard lockup.

PPPS - I'm still screwing up my pronouns and I apologize.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to my request so far. 💖 Thank you for being supportive and mostly, frank and honest.

Regardless of anything, my child will be my child and I'll do my best not to screw them up any more than the rest of the world will.

I should clarify it a little bit - she has barely mentioned it to me. Her mom and I are divorced, so I don't know if she's talking about it with her mom. The little I've heard is a passing comment from her on a phone call that she's "thinking about seeing a Dr" about HRT and her brother mentioning it to me. I don't get to see/talk with her often, so some of this is admittedly second-hand. Regardless, I am still concerned? worried? not about the outcome, but that she is sure before she goes through anything.

Looking for some info/advice from non-CIS/Trans/etc Mastofolks. My 20 y/o daughter has recently been considering if she's trans. I of course support her in anything she does, but "maybe" is not a good option for this kind of life-altering decision. She is an adult and can do whatever she wants obviously, but this is the kind of thing to be absolutely sure about, not "maybe." Looking for resources, advice, whatever, both for myself and things I can gently suggest to her to maybe help her figure things out. (FWIW - dear friend of mine's F2M child just started HRT after years of therapy and discussion, so I'm somewhat familiar with the sort of thing that maybe should go into a decision like this.)

@alice gratefully imposing on you to please boost this to the wider community, since you know absolutely everyone. 🥰

Thank you for anything you can suggest/inform.

I officially hate zombie Jesus day. I don't get to see my kids because they have "family activities" which actually means "step-family activities that exclude actual dad" which is fine in one way, because if I got within 500 yards of step-dad, who ruined two families with his cheating, I'd turn into a murder monster. But the fact I'm stuck without my kids on an arbitrary weekend because of some 2000 year old blood death cult makes me angry.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

@mycrowgirl and other Florida peoples, I just found out that the house my kids (and ex) live in have a Sandhill Crane nest in the backyard!!! Parents have been egg-sitting for about a month, so hatchling is expected any day now. I have _demanded_ photos, and will try to follow up as much as possible!

Just jealous that I don't still live there, or I'd have had a livecam set up a month ago!

This is possibly the worst time ever to say that I am a 20+ year experienced Java developer and am looking for a job. I'd love to be able to do remote full-time, otherwise the position would need to be in the Tampa Bay, FL area. I'm currently contract, which I'm not happy about, so would much prefer, if not require, a full-time perm position.

Resume and more information available on request.

Boosts appreciated.

Dear Democrat "leadership",

The government lays on its back, baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping. Why is that?

Right up front about it too.
