i might die in 7 hours, and I'm not afraid.

116.8k Upvotes

I (14M) have a bone disease known as Multiple Hereditary Exostoses (MHE). It causes benign bone tumors to grow everywhere on my body. Although they aren't cancerous, they are very painful when they are near a nerve.

A lot of these tumors have grown in my knees, fingers and ribs. You can probably guess there are a lot of nerves and muscles there that can be pinched and pierced. It hurts quite a lot. I am constantly at level 5 pain (scale of 1-10). I can only walk for up to 2 minutes, I can't write (with a pen, if I couldnt type this post wouldnt exist lol) and I'm basically in agony.

We have decided I will go for surgery to saw off some of the most painful tumors in my knee. Hopefully this will restore my ability to walk. The doctors have also decided we should remove 2 of my ribs, which have cracked due to the tumors. They'll be replaced with metal I think.

There is a 20% chance of death with all these very complicated procedures, and of course a chance this surgery doesn't change anything, or even makes it worse. Rolling a less than 6 sided dice to determine if I live or die. [Read below edits]

But to be honest, I don't really care what happens in this surgery.

If it works, great, I can walk again. If it fails and my condition stays the same/deteriorates, I've adapted to this disease enough. I can probably handle a few turns for the worst. And if I die, well, I suppose then there is no more pain.

My friends say it is wrong for me to feel okay about dying. I'm not suicidal, I wouldn't kill myself if I had the chance. But I don't exactly care if I die at this point. It's in fate's hands at this point.

Comment anything, in 7 hours, I'll be on the operating table that'll determine my destiny.

EDIT: Soon about to enter the operating room. Welp, this is it. Let's see our fate

EDIT 2; I'M ALIVE, LES GOOOO. Recovery pain's a bitch but otherwise, I'm fine

EDIT 3: Here is a post showing an extremely large update. https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueOffMyChest/comments/tsroac/update_3_weeks_ago_i_might_have_died_now_im_alive/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

EDIT 4: Hey, I've recently turned 16. Just wanted to give an update on my life.

I'm still sick, unfortunately, that's the sad part of chronic illnesses, but... that's alright. I've coped with it, and I thank you for reading this, for whatever reason, years later.

Also, I know that the percentages my younger self wrote was absolute nonsense according to a few commentors. Apologies, I was a 14 year old who was panicking because of a surgery. My odds of survival were likely much higher than I anticipated back then. Still, this post really did portray how I felt before a possibly life-changing surgery.

Once again, thanks for taking the time to read this really, really, old post. I hope you enjoyed my story.

My wife doesn't know. But once or twice a month after she falls asleep, I order a medium pizza and 8 wings, and I eat them outside in the backyard, by myself, and throw away the evidence before I go back to bed.

It's honestly the most exciting thrill that I often daydream about and look forward to. I wake up pretty thirsty and bloated though, lol.

UPDATE: I'm going to pull this off again sometime in the next couple days. I'll try to document it with some pictures of all the glory!!!!

UPDATE 2 with pics!!!

I ordered a large pizza tonight instead of a medium because of a coupon, but I went with the thin crust. I like regular crust wayyy better!!! After I polished off the 8 hot wings, I had to tap out after 4.5 pizzas..I was just too full. Anyways, thanks for all the love :)

Probably won't be doing many more of these, but, glad some of you enjoyed partaking in my secret plate night indulgences.

Love yourself. Choose to be happy. Even if it means not sharing with your wife :)

My husband is the moderator for a few different subreddits, and he genuinely thinks it’s a job

Edit: To all the profile-lurkers, my husband is no longer a moderator, and has a (real) job now FYI

my husband refuses to look for a job even though I think it would be good for him (And we could use the additional income), but he just says he’s, “got too much on his plate already”.

That being monitoring these stupid subreddits. And Everytime I bring it up he claims what he’s doing is unpaid labor similar to that of a homemaker. But he doesn’t clean or cook or do any of that the way he used to. He just monitors his stupid subreddits. I don’t know what to do.

Sometimes I want to leave him because I believe I may not be able to reach him.

I'm sitting here with my wife, waiting for full scale war to begin. We have no means to leave country and no where to go when shit hits the fan. And from this perspective every previous problems in my life now feel so... meaningless, it's 2022 in Europe, but here it's 31st of August 1939 here in Ukraine.

I'm not scared even anymore, I'm just tired of this waiting.

God help our soldiers, and curse those fashists.

Edit: 1) I do think of either fleeing with my wife and son (yes I didn't note that i have a pre school kid) or taking them to safety , but kid greatly reduces mobility, and my wife still don't want to flee right now (she believes in our army)

2) Thanks for rewards, and support, but i honestly, Reddit carma is on the bottom list of stuff i care.

3) it's 2:31 am here, and i have to try to catch some sleep.

4) i never thought, but warm words kinda helped me, thank you all, you are the best.

5) Слава Україні! Я вірю в хлопців на фронті.

Edit. Its 6:26. We are packed. Kid is sleeping. On early morning, we woke from 2 explosions. War has started.

We are preparing to evacuate. We are being striken by missiles.

I found out that my boyfriend of 2 years is married and has kids, I'm showing myself to his family tomorrow at his church.

Throwaway because I don't want my followers to see this. I'm just so confused right now and need to talk to somebody.

I've been seeing this guy "Adam, 32" for 2 years. He's from another town but visits me on weekends. I never met his family, friends or been to his town. I know that he works at the church and he takes pride in that.

3 weeks ago, I found out that he's actually married and has 2 kids, I was devastated and in a state of disbeleif but most of all, I was mad, especially after I confirmed this via his wife's social media account. We're still talking and I haven't broke up with him yet...I planned and decided to show myself to his family on Sunday at his church and let them know that he used me and took advantage, I plan on ending it right there and then. I'm currently in his town staying at a hotel, I'm doing this tomorrow and no one knows except myself, He's still texting me lies thinking that I'm stupid or ignorant. I feel terrible but something's pushing me to do this. Don't know if it's anger or feeling bad for his wife and kids..I just...I'm not gonna lie I'm worried this might back fire at me but at this point I have nothing to lose, I just feel like I need to get my respect and dignity back after being lied to and fooled for 2 years.

Tomorrow, I'm going to ruin his life NSFW

78.3k Upvotes

I have been with him for 3 years now. We planned on getting married when our lives settle down. I wanted to start a family with him, I loved him more than anyone else in this world. I've sacrificed so much for him, moved away from my home, turned down jobs so I could stay with him, and stood by his side as he started to go back to school. I gave him my world.

And he cheats on me.

I found out over a month ago. The scumbag got cocky, and I found out he was cheating on me, with 2 different women. One is a TA at his university, the other his best friend's girlfriend. I am livid. I write this post choking back venom. I loved him so much. He was my world, but now he will be the world I burn to nothing but ash.

I pay for everything since he quit his job last year to go to school. I was more than happy to help him, I make enough to support us both. The only upside is the student loans are in his name with no connection to me. It will hurt to push the scumbag out to sea, but I will survive.

I have held out for a month, enough time to create what I call "The day his world burns" Tomorrow we are hosting a party. I arranged for his family to come, but my family will sadly not be able to make it. I have packed everything valuable already, and the suitcase is in the back of my car. My brother will come during the event tomorrow, to take the car that is in my name that the dirtbag drives to my parent's house. The joint account, which is all my money anyway, is already empty.

The event will be great, and he thinks it's for us to announce our engagement to his family. What will happen in reality is I will announce my departure from his life. I have already taken a job out of state, and have lined up a new place to live. I will start by telling everyone what he is into. The screenshots of him asking his friend's girlfriend to piss on him, and the many other fantasies his degenerate mind came up with will be passed around. I will hand him the notice to vacate, as I have already broken our lease. We need to be out by the end of the month. I will then end off by informing him I have already reported he was sleeping with the TA for one of his classes the previous semester to the university and that I am sad I won't see the fallout from that. His friend also has a message for him that I will deliver, informing him that his friend group never wants to see him again as well.

And with that, I will leave. I will not look back. I will set his life on fire and walk away.

I just found myself actually preparing for the war that may or may not happen in the foreseen future

77.1k Upvotes

It's hard to describe. I'm from Ukraine, Dnipro, about 200 km from the warzone that's already there for eight years, and we all here kind of used to the Russian baked shit that happening in the east. However, now everything seems different. I'm genuinely sure that they'll try to cut the whole country in half.

This situation hits something deep inside, I lost all my friends, all I have is my wonderful sister and grumpy mother. I've never been in an actual fight, I'm just a random copywriter who just lives his life, smokes weed, plays bass, doing dojo and trying to find his second half. Next week I'm going to join the army and soon I'll be dead or become a murderer in order to protect my wonderful sister and my grumpy mother for no reason. Or maybe not.

EDIT: sigh, here we go. They're here, 3 hours driving from our house. I mean actual house.

EDIT 2: (2\23\2022)

  • No I'm not in the army, I decided to join volunteer paramedic courses. Thousands of people here helped me to switch toward this direction as well. Thank you all for such warm words. It's hard to keep your head cold these days nomsayin.

  • My family shows no will to move from our town so am I.

  • On Feb 22 Russian troops invaded Ukraine from the eastern front. After that we have a lot of reports about pinpoint artillery skirmishes from their side, however, I don´t trust anything I see on the web. Hybrid war is based on misinformation so I have to take this into account.

  • On Feb 23 Ukrainian government's planning to legalize firearms and declare a state of emergency. The most hilarious part is that we are still on a visa-free regime with Russia. There's no military response or clashes from the Ukrainian side so far.

Is it possible to keep you guys in touch via this thread with editing? Or should I simply make new posts? Or a sub? I've never done such threads before. For those who think that I'm a bot: I will not show any personal credentials to strangers, I'm not 5 years old.

EDIT Feb 24 Kyiv Odessa Dnipro Kharkiv are under attack, we put down two Russians aircrafts, it's 8 am.

ESIT Feb 24 1121AM we put down 4 tanks and 6 aircraft, Russians pushing tanks from south and east, actual combat begins.

EDIT Feb 24 1324PM some say Kherson's fallen, 300k citizens large. Dnipro's quiet, Kyiv is under pressure, Odessa is under pressure.

EDIT Feb 25 1109AM I'm with a volunteer HQ right now, donated blood already, filling supplies, driving people around.

Speaking of the war: they're focusing on Kyiv heavily, bombing civilian buildings, few hospitals were also destroyed, these fucking apes also took Chernobyl's atomic station last night, so we may see the actual apocalypse which I guess may also touch Europe heavily. Guys from EU, I'd recommend you to fresh your memory in terms of radiation civilian protection instructions. Russia broke so many humanistic laws it's indescribable. On the south, we have heavy clashes for ~16 hours at this point. Kharkiv stands still, Dnipro (my town) extremely mobilized and rushed into hot areas.

EDIT Feb 28 I'm volunteering 24/7, constantly rushing between shelters and buying medicine for wounded. Thank God for cryptocurrency. Depression and sleep deprivation. Will go on trenches tomorrow. I'm on territorial defense waiting list, enormous number of volunteers. Russians bombing citizens, 15 dead children so far. Today each Ukrainian is brother and sister. A lot of traitors in high command, special forces working on them pretty rough . I have no energy, 2 days without sleep on crossfit regime. Fuck war. They switched towards airstrikes and artillery today, mainly citizens. Because we're fucking grinding them on land clashes.

EDIT March 06 I was preparing for the war. But how can one be prepared for genocide and nuclear terror? Thousands of civilians are slaughtered like livestock. I'm focusing on wounded in local hospital. Can you imagine the ambient sound of Bosch's triptych? This is life right now. It's fucking hell. Thank you all. If nuking Ukraine means saved people from Europe and the US, guess it's a fair price. The west will not join the war, it's clear by now. We are alone here.

EDIT March 23 Things are sort of getting stabilized. We're slowly surrounding and boiling them in Kyiv upskirts, Mariupol is a tragedy, can't say but civilian casualties may be up to 10k+ there. Google Mizintsev, this sick fuck is responsible for civil bombardment orders. As well as raping, looting, kidnapping, deporting civilians from Mariupol to fucking gulags. My town is under daily bombardments for 6 days, they're launching rockets from Crimea and Kaspian sea. Yesterday they dropped something big, as the report says 2 Urals size combined, that was loud. I left territorial defense forces, because we're basically protecting guys who protect a tree. Waste of time money and resources. No trainings, mainly because it's too many of us wasting time. Now I'm personally focused on vests and helmet manufacturing. It's not possible to get this stuff from Europe (in Ukraine we're out of stock since day 2), so we said fuck it, we'll make our own. So we get 150 tons of armored steel, already made 1000 good vests with dampers and plate carriers nomsaying. A good friend of mine, he's drummer, we've played together for years. He lost his mother, 7yo sister lost her arm and leg, father in coma. That was phosphorus bomb, shelter didn't helped.

$600?!?

76.0k Upvotes

$600? Is this supposed to be a fucking joke? Our government refuses to send financial help for months, and then when they do, they only give us $600? The average person who was protected from getting evicted is in debt by $5,000 and is about to lose their protection, and the government is going to give them $600.? There are people lining up at 4 am and standing in the freezing cold for almost 12 hours 3-4 times a week to get BASIC NECESSITIES from food pantries so they can feed their children, and they get $600? There are people who used to have good paying jobs who are living on the streets right now. There are single mothers starving themselves just to give their kids something to eat. There are people who’ve lost their primary bread winner because of COVID, and they’re all getting $600??

Christ, what the hell has our country come to? The government can invest billions into weaponizing space but can only give us all $600 to survive a global pandemic that’s caused record job loss.

Elon Musk is not a humble billionaire on our side.

67.9k Upvotes

Everyone likes to talk shit on Jeff Bazos and Mark Zuckerberg for being shitty CEOs who only care about their stock value, yet Elon Musk and Tesla are somehow different? Everyone who believes this is being fooled by his marketing of himself. He’s not “one of us who made it” he’s another billionaire who doesn’t give a fuck about you or your family.

This shits really annoying on reddit too, “eLoN mUsK is BeTtInG 100 MillIon To LoWeR cArBon EmmIsons.”, yet he hasn’t given his employees a 401(k) option in three years but now suddenly has 1 billion dollars to invest in bitcoin? “but eLON mUsK SmOked A JoInt On Joe RoGan!!!”. Cool now tell me why that’s important when Tesla is trying to remove your right to repair on your car. Or what about that time he said a stimulus check is not in the “best interest” of the people. Like if he ever had to scrape by enough money to barely afford food.

Another note, when reddit does call out Elon Musk on something shitty he did, they don’t call him out, they call out his company and never him directly.

edit: for people defending Tesla about giving employees stock options instead of a 401(k), please read this comment https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueOffMyChest/comments/lfz0io/elon_musk_is_not_a_humble_billionaire_on_our_side/gmpslkr/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3

Unfortunately, The United States is not the greatest country in the world. It’s about time that we Americans stopped saying it and realize our country needs fixing.

61.3k Upvotes

As an American I believe that those who brags about the USA being the greatest country in the world are the ones who have never really seen the rest of the world. Don’t get me wrong, I love this country. But I’m tired of patriotic Americans shouting constantly that we are the greatest nation on earth. We are not. I travel extensively for work and I think anyone else who has also seen the world will probably agree - we are quite far from being the greatest. This may be hard for some to swallow, but it’s about time we realized this and started working on making America great again. Even though Trump shouts that line a lot, he’s made America worse and we are now a global joke. Let’s admit that our country needs work instead of being arrogant and proud. Don’t be blinded by patriotism.

EDIT: well this got a lot more attention than I thought it would. Some hateful comments as expected - I apologize if I ruined your morning. Please know that I love this country. And for those asking, where I would rather be, the answer is nowhere! Every time I fly back I’m grateful to call the United States home. The point of this was not start debate about what the greatest country is. But for us Americans to realize that there is a lot wrong here and needs fixing. Americans are the loudest to shout “greatest country in the world!”, but our country is slowing down and others are catching up. It’s time we all realized that in my opinion. Stay safe everyone, and thank you for taking the time to read my post!

Couple of things since I can't answer everyone.

1: I'm a dad, lot of people assumed I was a mom. No worries

2: This is something that has been discussed with my kids beforehand. We've talked about the importance of time management and how this ties into it.

3: Dinner is always around the same time. Bedtime is always around the same time. If dinner is in about 45 minutes and you play a game that can last up to two hours, then you probably should play something else at the moment. (Although my kids don't play most of the long games you mentioned, no smithe or LOL etc. Mostly fortnight and Overwatch)

I wouldn't exist if my mom had access to abortion - my perspective on the Texas heartbeat bill.

58.3k Upvotes

My mom was 11 years old when her older brother's sexual abuse of her got her pregnant. Her parents covered up the abuse, forcing her to lie and say she'd been fooling around with a boy in her class. They hid her away from the public eye and shamed her for being pregnant. She begged to be allowed to abort me, but her parents denied her access to an abortion.

Childbirth left her disabled: to this day she has chronic pain in her hips and walks with a cane. Her parents adopted me and raised me as their own, believing my mother and father were my older siblings. My mother was sent to a boarding school, but on break she was forced to live in the same household as her abuser and the product of that abuse until she left home at 18.

I found out the truth a year ago, when I turned 18. Suddenly a lot of things started to make sense: why my "sister" could barely look at me when I was growing up, why she barely had any contact with the family after she left home, why it always felt like something was off about my family and the way they saw me. I'd always felt like they were embarrassed of me, but I'd never known why.

I am the kind of person pro-lifers claim to protect. While my mom wasn't prevented from abortion by law, the outcome is the same. I, and many other babies, was born to an unwilling and deeply traumatized young mother. I was born a reminder of abuse, a shameful family secret. When an unwanted pregnancy occurs after abuse, this is the outcome many pro-lifers hope for, this is the outcome the Texas heartbeat bill intends to enforce.

I'm one of the lucky ones. I found out at 18, when I had the capacity to process it. My mom sought mental health care in her adulthood and we've developed a positive relationship in the last year. I wasn't raised by a resentful mother, bounced between begrudging family members, or put in foster care. Many children born in similar circumstances grow up abused, openly resented, and traumatized.

My life is fine, and my mom's life is fine despite everything she went through. But if I could go back in time and somehow change her parents' minds, I would do so in a heartbeat. No one should ever be forced to endure a pregnancy and childbirth against their will, especially a victim of abuse, and especially a child. No one should have the right to violate another person's body like that. Yes, I am grateful for the life I have, but quite frankly I should never have been born.

You are incredibly lucky if you get to be "bored stuck at home, waiting out the coronavirus".

58.1k Upvotes

I'm a part-time student working full time at a grocery store to put myself through school. Everyday, I see all these posts on Reddit joking about how bored everyone is going to be holed up in their house for a month. How I wish I had that luxury. Instead, I get to work in the industry that won't shut down even if the whole country is quarantined, breaking my back to fill products that people are mindlessly hoarding, all while putting myself at high risk of contracting whatever people bring through the doors. Yesterday, we were handed letters telling us that we are required to stay home without sick pay if we show any signs of being sick. How ironic is that? Forced to stay home FROM WORK from an illness I will inevitably contract FROM WORK, with no incentive of sick pay, no way to pay rent, and likely no job to come back to after weeks of being quarantined. No one treats us as human; not the customers, not our employers. I'm tired to listening to people tell me that my life and safety is worth less than someone else's, that I am obligated to become homeless when I catch the coronavirus by doing my job for minimum wage and allowing people not to starve.

My husband told another woman that he loved her…..

My husband is a great guy, puts his family first.

He has only loved two women in his life, her and me.

I know he loves me, we’ve been married for over twenty years, has never strayed.

His ex is dying…

She has days left.

She asked to see him as they were each other’s ‘first loves’.

He went to see her, talked about the 80s, held her hand, hugged her and told her that he always loved her.

And, I’m ok with that.

And, I’m OK with that!

Edit - I’m quite friendly with her daughter, it was her who reached out to me.

Her husband is a great guy, he shook my husbands hand.

They talked about the ‘80s, laughed a lot….

Edit 2. - Please stop giving me awards, he is the hero.

He made soup last night, lentil and tomato, and a veggie curry. We’re going to drop some off later.

And, yes! I stand by my post history the way I stand by my husband!

Update.

She is at peace now. He’s devastated but taking comfort that she isn’t suffering anymore.

I hired a male sex worker for 2 hours just to hug me and hold me and I gave him flash cards of what to say to me.

57.6k Upvotes

I'm a 22 year old female. I'm introverted, I had one boyfriend who cheated on me 8 months ago and since then found it incredibly difficult to socialize. Not that many people made an effort. I'm simple, I dont have social media, I have a few friends but they don't really speak to me much. I'm average looking. Pretty insecure since my breakup. Im in college and on weekends work a 12 hour shift at a fast food restaurant to make ends meet.

I dont know I felt really lonely, so I knew of a guy who works with me who told me his friend is doing sex work. I found him on Facebook and he told me how much he charged. Also asked me a bunch of questions about my sexual health. I never planned on sleeping with him I just didn't want him to find me weird.

Anyway we met at a hotel, I told him I didn't want to have sex I just wanted to be held and given words of affirmation and care. He agreed and I paid him. I gave him flashcards. They all said things like im proud of you, you're doing so well, you're strong, did you eat, are you okay, I know you can do it, etc etc. And he just held me until our hours was up and then I bolted and I feel so ashamed and had to tell someone. But I don't speak to anyone so here I am.

Edit: thank you all for the kindest words and making me feel better and less ashamed. Yes thats me immediately upvoting. I'm not good with words, so please know I appreciate it more than you know. Thank you so so much.

Elon Musk is not a genius. He is a slimy businessman with a talent for taking credit for others' work and creating a cult of personality.

57.5k Upvotes

Elon Musk is not the founder of PayPal. He is not the founder of Tesla either. Hyperloop is a stupid idea. None of his "ideas" are revolutionary. His entire aesthetic is fake futurism with no substance. His plans of colonizing Mars are overstated at best, and fraudulent at worst. He is not "self-made". From Palcohol to Neuralink to Starship, he has no grasp of basic science. Not to mention how inflated the stock prices of Tesla are. Every person interested in science has been enamored by Musk at one point, but we can't be fooled any longer. I wish his fanboys would stop and do some research.

"Do you live alone? Is anyone in your apartment?" "I like you, youre very sexy.". Right at the end he tried to hug me and kissed me on the forehead. I was wildly uncomfortable and I kept waking up to car sounds in the parking lot, checking that it wasn't him. I slept with a bat. I do not like to rock the boat. I'm very nonconfrontational. But I reported him to DoorDash. They just called and told me they are so sorry, there is a zero tolerance policy on that sort of behavior, and they have deactivated his account.

I'm glad I reported him. He might have done something worse in the future to another woman. But I feel like trash that I got a guy fired. Weird dissonance in my head right now.

I`m Ukrainian and I have something to tell you you

People, dear people.

This is my first post on Reddit and I pray to not be the last one. Just now I have read news about the potential invasion to the territory of Ukraine today in the night. I`m (f 25) panicking here. People... I just want to live in peace in Ukraine. I`m proud of being Ukrainian. Here is my motherland and doesnt matter which places I visit around the world I love Ukraine with all my heart and soul. I love Ukrainian people.I want to live in Ukraine, I want to give birth to children in Ukraine. I want to speak Ukrainian language. I have no hate to Russian people and Russian language or any other natonalities or other languages. I watch how Russia bites huge pieces from my country and destroy all Ukrainian what exist there. I`m so much afraid this will happen with all Ukraine. I`m afraid to lose my nationality. Believe me or not, the worst what can happen to Ukraine is to be Russian.Why tf they destroy lives of usual Ukrainain people? Russian president pretends to be a God so he can decide the destiny of the whole nation.

I`m so much f*cking afraid right now.

What to do, people? I`m crying at loud here because I actually have no choice. I don`t know what to do. I`m desperate. I don`t want to run away from Ukraine and watch how Ukraine suffers. I don`t want war but it seems Russia has already decided.I just want to survive this war.I want my family will survive. We will fight till we die here for our nation.

But... but if Ukraine lose this war. This is not guilt of Ukrainian people. This is the collapse of worlds democracy.

People, never ever trust to Russian government. Never ever trust to Russian news. Live in peace, never make war.

P.S. If Russian government would occupy Ukraine and would ever say that we wanted to be Russians, you should know that nobody asked and we have never wanted.

P.P.S. Apology for all the mistakes.

Edit: I really try my best to answer to everybody, thank you for all of your support, people... Personally me greatly thankful and every your message is greatly appreciated by me... and be sure every Ukrainian who reads it

I wouldnt pay a cent for Reddit Premium, but i would pay for a "No US Politics" filter

I cant browse any Subreddit ever without being bombarded with US politics. Obviously exaggerating but i wouldnt care much if the entire continent sank into the ocean, and i certainly dont care if some very questionable individual that noone outside of the US ever heard of said even more questionable stuff on Twitter for the 100th time. Tucker Carlson, Bill Burr, Mitch Mcconnel and whatnot, i hate the fact that i even know these names because i have been spammed into oblivion by this website with this spam.

If we're going to lock down again, we need to stop pretending that millions of fast food workers are essential and need to risk their lives for you to eat a godamn cheeseburger. We have families we care about too.
