My dad's medical bills were over $100,000 in his first year of cancer alone. He had liver cancer which is generally hard to beat and by the time they found it, his liver was 1/3 cancer. It permeated throughout his liver and they couldn't cut it out. Chemo and radiation were the only options. He had so many drugs costing thousands of dollars each. He had a team of doctors, one for each organ system, including the oncologists. The last year or two, he spent more time in the hospital than out of it. That's no way anyone could afford that without obscene wealth.

Good riddance.
People will stop consuming meat if dunno. meatpacking plants are full of COVID19 sickness and no one packs any meat.
That's not about prices being too high. It's about people being too sick to do the work...
There must always be as much profit as possible no matter who suffers*
I honestly don't get it. Why do prices have to go up even if wages don't? It seems like some people say that some kind of inflation is absolutely necessary no matter what.
One has nothing to do with the other. There's nothing wrong with those of similar age being in a relationship. Romeo and Juliet laws require the couple to be within three years of each other. That has nothing to do with 40 year old men creeping on teenage girls. This thread is insane and really shows the demographics of Lemmy.
1/3 women are sexually harassed in their lifetime. Women have posted their stories about being sexually harassed more frequently as a young teenager than an adult. I personally have been groped and propositioned for prostitution while I was walking down the street in broad daylight. Not to mention the numerous cat calls. Everything stopped the moment I no longer looked like a child. This is what the post is about. Not consensual relationships.
What you're talking about is roleplay...
I hope there's enough empathetic people about to see through their nonsense so we can get everyone they help they need.
Wow that's cruel. Someone's cat gets loose, they can't find it yet, and you think it should be killed. Good job killing Fluffy because he escaped.
Declawing is cruel. It's basically cutting off your first knuckle.
Ah yes, no one ever changes over time and no one's views have ever updated over the years. Never.
This was 50 years ago. I've changed my opinions on a lot of things and I'm 33. I really hope I don't have all the same positions on every single thing for the next 50 years or I'll likely be left behind.
Yep, I use the end of a butter knife. You're fighting the pressure that built up rather than how tight the lid is screwed.
