You assume any of the many issues this woman endures showed any response to medications or therapy while maintaining a satisfactory quality of life. She also has concerns about our uncertain future thanks to things that can not be fixed, like global warming.

I have no issue with this woman wanting euthanasia.

But I wanted to say something about your global warming comment........It actually can be fixed and the world is doing a lot to fix it as we speak.

So if you're out driving or whatever during tomorrow's solar eclipse please be aware that regular sunglasses will not protect your eyes if you look directly at it.

Also, do not try to take a pic or vid of the solar eclipse with your phone. Your phone's circuits could fry. No joke.

Thanks for the responses ya'll. I really appreciate it and I read all of them!

Did he really get that big? Or is the building he's standing on just very tiny?

Also, why does it look like they are on another planet? I thought Mega Man took place on earth.

And? There was a progressive state legislator who won her seat in North Carolina, was the necessary vote to prevent the Republicans there from passing an abortion ban and specifically ran on protecting abortion rights, and then shortly into her term flipped to Republican and helped them ram through tons of atrocious shit.

I'm not criticizing what he said in the past, I'm criticizing what he's saying now and also not saying.

The Trump he criticized in the past was less egregious than the Trump of today because Trump gets worse as both a human being and politician on almost a daily basis.

Yeah I see where you're coming from. I hear ya.

Trump wants to be dictator king of America, end term limits, enact christian sharia law, mass deportation, use the government to crack down on political opposition

the rock: Im not going to say anything about that, but I will say cancel culture and woke libs bug me so much, they should let us be true to ourselves.

Kradek posted...

Yeah, it's gotten to the point with Trump where you'd either have to be extremely ignorant/intentionally avoiding politics or intentionally dismissive of the threat he poses. Considering Dwayne has expressed past political interest and opinions, it seems the latter.

@Kradek @KitKats Actually Rock has gone on record HEAVILY criticizing Trump for years. He definitely doesn't like Trump whatsoever.

Necronmon posted...

Like Bill Maher now that his popularity is going down the Rock seems to be getting bitter and renouncing what he use to stand for in order to make money.

Yeah, probably.

"My goal is to bring this country together. I believe in that. There will be no endorsement. At this level of influence, I will keep my politics to myself. It is between me and the ballot box."

I see nothing wrong with that statement.

I'm all for that. My beef is 1) Why he decided to go on FOX News of all places and 2) When he started complaining about woke culture it made him sound all "OK Boomer" especially since he has always been a pretty progressive person in the past.

commonly park in?

Cause that's what happened to my dad yesterday. He forgot where he parked in a Walmart he commonly goes to and spent like an hour finding the car. He found it eventually though by himself.

Is this common aging?

Those powers don't hide it. Genocide and conquest and taking over shit is their MO and they make no attempts to obsfucate their intentions beyond a minimal degree.

Meanwhile, the Federation hides behind the facade of a utopia and the ideals of the Prime Directive that allows them to handwaive preventable disasters as they see fit while also outright allowing for loads of underhanded seedy operations across the galaxy. And once their tendrils stick, they fight like hell to prevent anyone and anything from leaving.

Also, missed how I also said that they were still the best hope for the galaxy after or the video before.

Did you see Picard season 2? The Confederation (A Federation who was once benevolent who became conquerors) was far, far worse than the Federation.

K181 posted...

The Federation is the most morally bankrupt and holier-than-thou organization in the galaxy.

This isn't even close to being factually correct. Are you telling me they are more morally bankrupt than the Cardassians and the Romulans or the Dominion or even the Borg? Seriously? @K181

Did I mention that when you do decide to kill yourself as a vampire youll spend the rest of eternity in hell?

Who would honestly wanna live forever? Immortality is a fate worse than death.

It is Easter. Basically Christmas without any presents.

Have a happy one.

I cant stand Beyonc. She honestly believes shes Gods gift to the world. She thinks shes better than everyone else. Shes mean to her fans and whats even worse is that she treats her dancers like shit.

DORONKO WANKO is a DORONKO Action Game. In this game, You can become a cute, innocent Pomeranian, make your master's home messy and dirty. "Will the master be angry with me?" Don't worry. Because you are a sweet doggie.

To me, my X-Men.

If there was a super secret organization controlling the world, WHY WOULD THEY LEAVE CLUES EVERYWHERE?! Like when people claim to see illuminati symbols at places and hand gestures by celebrities, why exactly would the illuminati give hints like this that they exist? Wouldn't that defeat the whole purpose of being SUPER SECRET?!

And another thing....why would there need to be an illuminati when there are so many people in high positions of power doing terrible things all the time for all of the world to see?

I've never seen punches that powerful since Mike Tyson. You can FEEL the power behind those punches even though you're just watching it at home.

Red_XIV posted...

The same is true of a lot of non-mutant characters with superpowers, yet in-universe they (usually) don't get the hate and fear that mutants do. Even in cases where those other superheroes are (unlike mutants) literally not human. The mutant-haters will be more accepting of a robot or an alien with superhuman powers than they will of a mutant. That's how it still works as an allegory for racism.

You have a point.

Dude just enjoy the film for what it is.

I love everything X-Men but I don't blame humans for fearing mutants. I mean as other people have said any psychotic mutant could destroy the world if they wanted.

Things were never the same after that night.

After that night, everything changed.

No dementia. My dad had it in his 40s, but not her. She did have sleep apnea and insomnia as well.

Your dad had it in his 40's?! Man, I'm sorry my friend. Can't even imagine how hard that must've been on you.

What are some things that are just the way UH HUH UH HUH you like it?

DDP886 posted...

Probably not- Ive had dreams spill over into real life

Would you mind elaborating on what happened during these incidents?

itachi15243 posted...

That on it's own sounds a lot more like something stress related, but you can't really be sure unless you take him to a doctor.

It doesn't sound like it much on it's own, but you might wanna keep an eye on him and take him to a doctor if it gets any worse.

My dad had dementia and it can get really rough. He died of covid before it got bad, but he did got to the point where he would lock people outside right after talking them, forget some less important stuff, and so on. It wasn't too bad, but it definitely wasn't pleasant either.

I hope you don't have to go through that with your father TC.

I'm sorry your dad went through that. And I'm sorry your dad died of Covid. Heart goes out to you man. May he RIP.

I'd also go one step further and get him to take a sleep study as well. A couple years ago I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea. Sleep Apnea can affect your memory and leave you confused if your not getting enough sleep during the night. I would go to bed at 12, and even by 9 I only actually slept 1/2 hr, so I was constantly forgetting things, getting confused. Yes, most of the time it has to do with weight, but there are cases where skinny people just don't sleep properly, and when you don't get enough REM sleep, your mind starts to play tricks on you.

I didn't even consider sleep apnea. This is very valuable info to me. Thank you.

My mom had recurring problems with urinary tractor infections for the last six years of her life and she had delusions very similar to that. I remember one day, she was absolutely determined that there was a boy in her room, and he jumped into the dirty clothes bin right before I came in. She 100% thought it was real.

It wasn't consistent. Very random. Also, UTIs could also cause her to absolutely rage at her doctors, so definitely watch for random mood swings.

May your mom RIP. *hug* So she just had UTI's but never dementia?

Update: this morning he woke up normally. He didn't have any urge to go to some event that doesn't exist. He drove again today for errands and he drove fine.

while there are actual doctors who post on CE, i do not think any of them specialize in this sort of thing.

Ah, I see.

xGhostchantx posted...

That on its own doesn't seem too worrying, but you should definitely get to a doctor. There's heaps of symptoms that go unnoticed by us layman

He has his yearly physical coming up soon.

Dark_Arbron posted...

I freak out every time my mother has a moment (age 70) because there's a good chance we are genetically disposed toward dementia. Said grandmother was one of eight children and four of them - including her - developed it. There's coincidence, and then there's that.

If it makes you feel any better, I read the other day that dementia isn't hereditary (contrary to popular belief).

I'm very, very sorry your grandmother went through that though my friend.

Update: he drove yesterday and was just fine. Didn't get lost or anything. Two hours ago I recommended he try a memory picture matching game at https://www.memozor.com/memory-games/for-seniors-or-elderly/nature-gifs and for a game he hasn't played in forever, he did OK the first try. The second try though, he crushed it.

BucketCat posted...

my grandma has dementia right now, the early signs a few years ago were her asking or saying the same things repeatedly. at first, she'd kinda just get "stuck" on one thing, like a question or topic. so she'd be talking/conversing like her usual self, then randomly would ask/bring up the same thing over and over.
as time went on, it got worse by asking/bringing up the same thing more often each time.
that was a while ago, and now it's very bad in comparison, I sincerely hope your dad or anyone you know doesn't have to experience it in any way.

I'm very sorry to hear about your grandma. Sincerely!

I see. Thanks for the response.

I'm sorry to hear about him having trouble walking but I'm also glad to hear that he's OK!

Bass posted...

I doubt anything is wrong with him, and I doubt this is applicable in your instance, but UTIs can manifest symptoms in strange ways in older adults. Can make they act out really strangely.

Thank you. What are UTIs btw?

SweetNut_Farm posted...

I'm 71 and worry about dementia and I have dreamed about work related things that when I wake up I'm foggy for a few minutes.

It's nice you are concerned and working with your dad. Good luck to you both.

Thank you Sweet! 71 and still a gamer? Respect. That's what I'm gonna be doing at 71 (if I'm lucky enough to live that long lol).

Sounds like he's bored. Just dreaming of better times.

Hmmm, I will ask him about that (if he's just bored).

MC_BatCommander posted...

I don't know anything about dementia but that just sounds like weird dreams? You've never had a dream where you're back in school and about to miss an important deadline or something? It's a pretty common experience

I actually have dreams about that a lot!

VideoboysaysCube posted...

I don't believe that alone is anything too worrisome. Heck, I'm young and I've had at least two or three occurrences where I wake up from a dream and question for a moment if what I said or did during the dream was something that really happened. I think it's just part of being disoriented when you wake up. It's also been quite a long time since I graduated from school and still have dreams about needing to complete homework assignments and things of that nature. So in my unprofessional opinion, I think this is fairly normal.

Thank you for the response. :)
