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.

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.

Affirmative Asylum Processing with USCIS

To obtain asylum through the affirmative asylum process you must be physically present in the United States. You may apply for asylum regardless of how you arrived in the United States or your current immigration status.

Yeah, that's what I told my mom. She tried to tell me I don't know what I'm talking about. They wouldn't just deliver the baby and let someone adopt it if the birth parents don't want it. No, they'll kill the baby mid-delivery. I hate that it's my mom, but some people can't be reasoned with.

Women will generally use some form of contraception to avoid getting pregnant in the first place.

Hence why some people are talking about targeting contraception.

Literally anything you want that doesn't hurt someone.

You and me both. I love documentaries and when I get on a space kick, I think about this a lot. What did it look like? What's nothing? My brain can't fathom literally nothing. It had to be some sort of something. Almost makes me want to say that the universe does have a creator, but in that case, where'd the creator come from? (My favorite creation myth is that the Goddess danced and galaxies spun off on her dress. Makes as much sense as any of the others.)

This is actually really cool. I have no idea about any of it, but I remember watching a documentary a long time ago that said certain mathematical patterns repeat all over nature. What you said seems similar to that.
