  • Statistically people get 30000 days give or take a few thousand. Sometimes its a lot less. It’s our nature to make plans for our future but none of us is promised a tomorrow. All any of us know is that we have today. It sucks to get news like that just like it would suck to have a fatal heart attack at 40 or be hit by a drunk driver at 20 or be the unlucky victim of whatever tragedy. I lost a cousin when he was 9. Fair is not a property of the universe. Spending the time you are here fretting over knowing it’s going to end is pointless.

    Practical steps. Talk to more doctors. Sure there are treatments to give you a chance at the longer time range. Talk to a therapist. Most of us get to ease into a mid-life crisis. You get to do the speedrun. Don’t put more importance the things you hoped to have in the nebulous future than the things you have today.





  • You are correct, he didn’t want to talk about economic plans but his advisors are begging him to give them something to try and change the narrative because he is sinking bigly. The crowd there was maybe 2k tops but they (the professionals running his campaign) need sound bites and clips of him looking if not Presidential, at least coherent for the nightly news. But of course Trump can’t stay on message so he keeps slipping further in the polls and will be blaming everyone around him and attacks those trying to help him get back to the White House.

    You love to see it.





  • Congratulations on being the parent they felt comfortable coming out to! Son came out around the same age, he’s 20 now.

    A lot is going to depend on your location. Name change paperwork was a chore but not as much as navigating insurance for HRT. Public school was mostly okay but much was remote due to COVID.

    Pm if you have any particular questions.
