My condolences for your loss.

#11 gets real dark.
Okay, this one made me lol 3x.
Seek a second opinion. That doctor is not listening to you. Something other than aging is going on and it should be properly investigated.
edit: is severe arthritis in your family (or any other bone/joint disease)? Are you exposed to large or long term doses of chemical(s) or radiation in your life through work or living environment (industrial zone nearby/upwind, or very old home). These are things I’d be considering.
Well I wouldn’t accept “I dunno” as an answer any more. “you are old enough now that it’s time for you to know because if you don’t people will take advantage of you”.
Every time they say ‘I dunno’ demand a single page report on the answer complete with at least 2 sources. No TV/Phone/Whatever until it is done. They’ll stop uttering that real quick. The key is co-participation though. Telling them something is important is meaningless when compared to showing them it is important by sitting down and helping them figureidout.
How you interact with them is the key to 90% of what your child learns from you. You’re already participating in their viewing. Use this as a stepping stone for dialogue regarding plausibility, and demonstrating critical thinking.
“Do you agree with that influencer? Why or why not?”
“What are the influencers motivations?” Dazzle them with possibilities they had not considered too.
“If I told you I’ve been to space would you believe me? But I’m your parent! Why is my claim beyond belief?”
“Can you verify what that person is telling you through reliable means? This is how I would do that”.
… and so on. Just do more of what you’re doing and up the investigation portion IMO. Don’t be afraid to learn something yourself while they witness it. Just be careful to avoid arguments as they’re getting to that age…
Dr. ought to be wearing a football helmet or risks getting punched in the face.
I want to preface this by declaring I fully support people losing weight and taking care of themselves, particularly if they have an unhealthy BMI, but, this is not uplifting news.
It’s unbelievable. Literally. It is on average over a pound of weight lost per day. Imagine physically slicing out a tennis ball sized chunk of your body every day for 7 months. That’s how fast we’re talking here. Diet, the explanation Nik would like you believe was the cause of this loss, cannot explain this rate of weight loss. Even starvation results in less than a pound of weight lost/day. This weight loss is almost certainly the result of a drug or surgical intervention not mentioned in the article.
It is also paradoxically extremely unhealthy. Rapid weight loss results in muscle atrophy, and damages the heart.
Mr. Avocado will likely suffer from some sort of medical crisis in the near future, and/or is under extraordinary medical supervision we are not being informed of.
;tldr This is not aspirational. This is dangerous.
If you say anything bad about linux, or star trek, or github, you get downvoted to hell
If not simply moderated out of the community because ‘fostering dialogue is an important goal’.
I look forward to reading your post in !tifu@sopuli.xyz
Counterpoint: sleep and pee. You think you are better than mice? Pssh.
Clearly the look of “make no mistake cur, you will pay for this”.
Wasn’t saying you were. Just I’d be unable to answer without doing so.

Never cosplayed personally, but friend went in an admittedly simple Jedi costume back during the Phantom Menace era. We went to a Star Wars convention and just wow. The vibe was incredible. He garnered us so much attention in what was essentially a hand sewn wool blanket with a light sabre toy (no blade) on his belt with glued cardboard detailing. People LOVED the effort though even if it paled in comparison to the ‘professionals’ out there. Guaranteed conversation in any line or wait area. Great way to meet hot Twi’leks in your area. Cannot recommend enough you get into it if you are at all interested.
Your parents didn’t just stuff you in the back window?
