loser Democrats pivot to hatred when they know they’re losing so that they can point the blame at minorities when they lose. It’s an obvious pattern at this point. when these fucking shells start telling you they “have to compromise” they have already given up. They just want to deflect blame.

Does anyone know how to get a molar extracted quickly, no questions asked? got a cracked tooth that’s in agony and almost caused sepsis again that I need to get out immediately but the oral surgeon I was referred to can’t pull it until October 8th which could kill me if i have to wait that long

Heart echo came back with not great results, ejection fraction was already low and dropped another 5% in the last year. hoping it’s only a temporary but recoverable setback due to the generic medications fiasco bringing all my symptoms back but it’s impossible to know for sure right now.

Still have not heard a goddamn thing from my pharmacy or insurance about getting back onto brand name Entresto despite my cardiologist filing for medical necessity after shitty generics made my vitals and physical health go to shit immediately. currently unable to sleep, all HF symptoms returning.

Has anyone (or a friend/family member) had a negative experience with the Entresto generics (Sacubitril/Valsartan), my insurance forced me onto the generics recently and all of my more severe heart failure symptoms have immediately crept back in some way and my resting pulse has skyrocketed on them.

Studio 346 is a collection of artists, historians, & engineers joined in a common goal: to make our shared love & knowledge of railroading into a fun, meaningful experience. Since day 1, we’ve pledged never to use generative AI slop. Century of Steam always will be a game made for people, by people.

A poem on a paper background, surrounded by several roughly-drawn doodles of Rico and Dolores, Century of Steam's cartoon goat and deer mascots, respectively. The two of them are shown making various doodles and drawings of their own. The poem, in defense of human artistry against a pervasive deluge of AI slop, reads as such:

Art's an exclusively human endeavor,
Which sits at the crossroad of person and craft,
A people without craft is weary to weather,
A craft without people is soulless and daft.

To put onto canvas a thing by our hands
Comes with it a tangible part of our own,
So others may gaze at our self as it stands,
To know us and smile on what we have shown.

So long as real hands and real minds can assure,
Incredible works can be crafted and born,
Even if some hands are covered in fur,
And some minds are guarded by antler and horn.

But say I had sought out a local town baker,
To bake a confection I vaguely describe,
If I had told everyone I was the maker,
We'd all see the baker's betrayed by the lie.

So anywhere art is not crafted with care,
But stolen and churned into some unknown slurry,
Remember this warning to heed and beware,
Or else we may find ourselves lost in a hurry.

Do what you love, and love what you do,
But do it yourself, or it's not really you.

One of the worst parts of having heart failure is how much of your life you spend worrying about the looming inevitability of death to the point you wonder if you’re even able to make good use of the time you have here. How little time you even have left. It’s been… eating at me a lot lately.

posting this old piece again for no reason whatsoever

a graphic illustration painted by Wings & Strings of bubsy the bobcat, wearing only a white t-shirt with a red exclamation mark printed on it--the feline rendered in an uncomfortably high amount of detail for the defunct 3D platformer character--beating the ever-loving dogshit out of two nazis on the streets of a battle-worn french village, disfiguring their faces, sending their dislodged teeth spewing forth like ivory comets trailing viscous tails of spit and blood. One nazi is knocked unconscious and falls lifeless to the cobblestone, another cowers, sobbing and blubbering as a mix of snot and blood stains their face, their arm raised in a feeble attempt to defend themself and also conveniently censoring bubsy's junk from the viewer which is presumably just, completely all hanging out in the open. one of bubsy's paws is clenched in a bloody fist, having just knocked out the first nazi. in his other hand is a molotov cocktail, its wick burning brightly, destined for the pile of wet kindling that is the second nazi, soon to be charred like an immoral bratwurst.
