    JD Vance is Vice President of The United States and somehow he is still a loser. Like not a bad person, of course JD is an awful, hateful human… I mean JD Vance genuinely firehoses out loser vibes everywhere he goes despite on paper being an immensely powerful boy (one of the most powerful boys!).

      He’s so bland and draining that the pope died hours after a Vance Exposure Event.

      I hypothesize that if the entire nation is subjected to a VEE, we could face devastating losses.

        the pope died hours after a Vance Exposure Event.

        Yet, somehow, Trump hasn’t succumbed (yet) to extended exposure to Vance.

      If he takes over he’s going to have a hard time. People won’t follow him blindly like they do for trump. He’s going to try to be tough but it will be so cringy that he won’t get the support he needs to back it up.

    My mom just read me a text message she got from her half-sister who is in stage 4 renal failure (or something imminently fatal like that, although I’ve been hearing this for about 10 years now). I was feeling sorry for her until my mom got to the point where she said she was “looking forward to meeting Jesus and Charlie Kirk”.

      I would just reply with “Bitch, you’re going to hell, you’re only meeting Charlie Kirk there.”

          I swear, if Hell could be livestreamed on Twitch I bet it would have 500k+ views every day just from people watching Thatcher, Nixon and Reagan burning in there.

      Adults with the mental disorder called religion need treatment, preferably medicated to the nostrils.

      Ignoring your actual point, something like end-stage renal disease requiring dialysis has a life expectancy of around 5 years, but even 10+ years on dialysis is not unheard of.

          As I said when I got a text saying “don’t send A g money to your dad”: “It won’t be long now. Everything evolving him will be over shortly.”

          Everyone in his generation was a little miffed. Everyone in my generation was all “yup.”

        They really don’t have people on dialysis that long anymore. My best friend is currently on dialysis.

          Different sites will have different patient populations, but large cohort data shows 5 year survival rate of ~40% and 10-year survival rate of ~10%. Not common, but not particularly unusual.

      He’s on Bluesky too. Just fyi, in case you might want to consider not being on Twitter anymore.

        X is a cesspool of a lot of right wing BS (I’ve just learned to ignore it) but it also has large groups of people who are interested in basically all of the more niche things that I am interested in. Bluesky, Mastodon, Lemmy, etc. just do not even come remotely close unfortunately.

          Same reason I still use reddit. Lemmy is great but the communities on reddit that are on the smaller side are still too small to be viable here.
