I have a friend that was diagnosed with lupus as a young kid. When they were a teenager, their father was able to give them a kidney. This improved their situation drastically, and now they are a parent.

I’ve never heard of the show that was referenced. I know many Americans that have financially supported their elder parents. Basically the quality of care that their parents receive is based on how much the adult children can afford.
I feel like some American seniors have more money than their adult children, and the children expect to receive an inheritance once their parents die.
If someone has reasons for not financially supporting their parents, like a deeply strained relationship due to past trauma caused by the parent, I suppose I could understand that.
But America is a big country. I’m sure there are assholes that tell their 90 year old parent to get a job when they could afford to help. But I feel like most Americans would recognize this as cruel.
Many Americans live paycheck to paycheck, and can’t afford to give much.
I think it’s lazy advice to tell people they can save money by not giving their family financial assistance.
Ubuntu. I have nothing to prove.
“Some may call this junk. Me, I call them treasures.”
First, I’m sorry to hear about the situation. It seems like you want the best for your brother.
I’m a stranger on the Internet, so take what I say with a grain of salt.
Based on what I read, I worry if you allow him to get close to you that you or your wife could be a victim of his eventually.
Perhaps he needs guidance and structure, but I question if he is ready to accept it from you.
If you end up wanting to help him, make certain you’re not enabling his bad habits.
It’s a tough place to be. Don’t beat yourself up for not being able to “fix” everything.
It’s probably called orange or some other round fruit
Just beams and rice for me. I don’t think I can afford beans. /s

Theft is such an ugly word. It’s really taking from the rich and giving to the poor.
I love dailydot. They summarize tiktoks about doordash and then provide the same video at the bottom of the page. I can feel my mind rot while consuming it but I still do it.
I bet you just made up this claim… you probably can’t even hold a marker with your toes -let alone write with that marker!
There is a taco bell in the historic city of Antigua Guatemala. Guatemala also has like 30 volcanos and their flag is light blue and white with the coat of arms featuring the quetzal bird on it.
I can spew random trivia about every latin american country.
I just tried and was successful. I have long fingers which probably helps. But it’s not as loud as when I clap with two hands.
Write, “lemmy” with your toes and take a pic… Bonus points if you draw the rats face
Knit silk is the most luxurious of fabrics
Sometimes I go back to the tabs and finish what I was doing on that page.
Imagine throwing away your career for a dollar candy bar.
As an American, sorry about the war that my country committed against yours for no good reason. And I’m sorry for all the innocent people that my country killed. I wish your country well, and hope you can achieve peace and stability for your people.
