Oh, I just had a near death experience! Ran a stop and almost got hit by a bus; would've hit me right on the ribs! I've had another crash before where a powerline pole fell over my car, right next to my head.

My experience? Life didn't flash before my eyes. I was just very scared at the moment, and was anxious and upset for a few hours after. It's definitely going to change how carefully I drive moving forward.

Otherwise, I've seen a lot of patients sick, dying or terminally ill, working as a physician. It definitely affected the way I see life; I try to care less about what other people think I should be doing and instead act in a way I think is right. I am happy and satisfied that if I die I will be thought of fondly by most people I've interacted with.

Accomplishment? My entire career. I'm really glad with where I'm at now.

Now, in a moment? Being able to help my parent buy a house.

Sashimi and prime barbecue cuts.

Mine is like thick sauce under saran wrap, every once in a while I have to poke around the screen to stir the pixels back into place

Let me introduce to you the Brazilian hot dog:

In my region of Brazil we have three flavors (!!!!) of hot dog: beef (filled with meaty Bolognese), chicken (shredded chicken cooked in tomato sauce) and mixed (both; yes, BOTH!!).

Things Brazilians put in hotdogs:

  • Hot dogs. How many, you ask? Well, how many do you want?
  • Corn
  • Peas
  • Ground beef
  • Chicken
  • Cheese
  • Cabbage
  • Vinaigrette
  • Mashed potatoes
  • Bacon
  • Crispy straw potatoes
  • Olives
  • Cooked quail eggs

2021 was vaccine and mask year for me, as a healthcare student. I remember it because I started my internship period, and the human contact got me out of my 2019 depression. I got a pretty good order of rotations and didn't get COVID so I can't complain.

Left toe on clutch, right heel on brake, right toe on gas. Good for revving the car at the traffic light if the engine's cold or if you're a jackass.

Much like that UN report classifying Israel's action against Palestinians as Apartheid (which is criminal in international law), much will be said and very little will be done about this. The state of Israel has been going against international law and agreements for almost its entire existence: see its support for illegal colonies and the walling and ghettoization of the West Bank and Gaza. Israel's government has confidence that the US and NATO won't do anything to stop their criminal actions against Palestinians because that is what they've been doing for the last half century. They will continue to coddle Israel until it fulfills its goal of completely exterminating or expelling Palestinians from the land between the river and the sea, forging a state with a single ethnicity, culture and religion out of Palestine.

PS: just before anyone claims it: no, I do not support gratuitous acts of terrorism by Hamas, just as I don't support Israel's terrorism against Palestinians. All I'm trying to do is point out the historical context of the current conflict, so that nothing is distorted.

What scares me the most is not the two-tons, it's the twenty-tons. There's something primally scary about a small house on wheels cutting you off in the left lane trying to pass another house on wheels, fully boxing you in between two metals walls while a pickup trying to go 30 over the limit gets all up in your 6.

IIRC, leftists were some of the first people on Reddit to start exploring Lemmy as an option. I found out about Lemmygrad a few years before the APIcalypse, but there wasn't enough motive to compensate for the inconvenience before.

Anyway, gotta love a platform that hasn't been drowned in the tsunami of sewage that is 21st century imperialist ideology (yet).
