yeah i'm gonna be going back home soon and i'm just very glad my kidney stone kicked into full gear here in china and not the US

i don't know what i would have done otherwise

oh yeah i'm gonna be making a lot of changes after this

i don't ever wanna experience that again (thanks for the tips btw)

i've been here eating the same kinda stuff for about three months

i did ESWL to treat it and it was only $300 USD out of pocket (including my initial imaging test and diagnosis), which is downright unbelievable when you compare that to what it'd be back home in ameriKKKa under the same circumstances

damn i've got a whole new perspective on it now

thanks, and yeah it sucked major ass to be in that level of pain and not really know what it was; like it was so bad that it being kidney stones didn't even occur to me because i just assumed they couldn't be that painful.

now that i've had them broken up, laying on a heated pillow seems to ease the pain quite a bit.

i'm really sleepy and i read that as dengists

i hate with a burning passion everyone who is enabling and contributing to this horror.

fuck you and go to hell if you make any sort of excuses for this shit. i'm looking at you, refugee lemmitors.

edit: why the fuck should anyone have to suffer like this? how can anyone see these things happening every day and continue to make excuses for it, or at the very least downplay it? why is the world so goddamned complacent? why is it so goddamned complicit?

this is all so avoidable, and yet americans are selfishly voting in favor of it because they can't stomach the thought of being inconvenienced by an embarrassing president at home. nothing that senile fuck would even be capable of doing to us can even come close to what our country is doing to palestinians. no white american will ever experience what Hind Rajab experienced, and what countless others continue to experience EVERY DAY and have experienced every day since that settler state was founded.

if you can't make even the smallest sacrifice to challenge a genocidal status quo, then yes, FUCK YOU AND GO TO HELL.

and their assumption is right

like shit, if he promised to put either of the cheneys in front of a firing squad, i actually would vote for his senile ass

redditors think he's calling for her to be executed by a firing squad (and that doing so would be bad for some reason???)

amber whataboutism

weird that they didn't pick literally anyone else

it has to be some sort of joke because even in 2020, there's just no way anyone could actually think that cruz has any sort of chance of the presidency even among republicans, after being publicly insulted by trump and swallowing his entire boots anyway.

dude's a spineless follower and chuds are gonna crave a perceived strongman leader forever now that trump has (somehow) set that precedent for them

genuinely thought this was made in 2024 up until that ted cruz part

leave it to a ledditor to write the most hideously racist thing i've read all month, and leave it to leddit to give him 1.7 thousand upvotes

these scumfucks can't be re-educated

i really like some of their '80s stuff and later 21st century stuff, but '90s rush was just weird

neil's lyrics were always way better when he was going for emotional depth instead of trying to be a commentator on the state of the world lol

you'd think the child of holocaust survivors would be able to see the parallels

you'd think the child of holocaust survivors would be able to see the parallels

specifically, they were saying it was russian bots posting US atrocities to make russia seem comparatively less evil in their invasion of ukraine

...nevermind that it was the anniversary of the massacre
