🎵I want to beat dialysis

But one kidney's not enough

Forget about the waitlist

And collect them just because 🎵

Kidneymon!

Transplant patient here! Started with my 2 and then got 2 more added in my mid 30s. Later they took 1 of the transplanted ones out because it was clotting.

Score so far:

  • 2 original kidneys that have basically been so damaged that they provide no filtering.
  • 1 working transplant that is doing all the work and being a champ!

This is a great way to think. Some people are so frustrated with waiting in line at the bank or market. For me, it's just another unintended break where I get to relax.

For me, it's Beatmania by Konami. I first played it as a highschooler in the late 90s and it's totally changed the way I visualize music. I will never not think of music as notes falling towards a line because of it.

Both my wife and I are immunocompromised (kidney transplant and cancer). We wear a mask because getting sick really sucks and it's not just COVID. We're glad most people got used to the idea of seeing others in masks because here in the US it wasn't a common thing like it is in Japan. I never expected others to continue wearing them but we get harassed often for wearing ours. It's so frustrating now that I simply yell "she has cancer" whenever someone confronts us. Some go as far as to tell us to "stay home" then if we're so scared. We're just trying to live too and sometimes that means us wearing a mask when we're out.

So does it brother you when other people wear masks? If so, why?

I was at a theme park yesterday and got harassed because my wife and I were wearing masks while waiting in line for rides. I have a kidney transplant and my wife had cancer in 2016 so we're both immunocompromised. Just whose fun are we ruining?

I don't have ADHD but this describes nearly every morning for me as a kidney transplant patient.

I'm about 40 hours into Trails To Azure and it's been a blast going through The Legend Of Heroes and the Trails series in order.

I think this is the case where certain people simply can't see it here the difference.

I collect video game and movie soundtracks and the main difference I can hear between a 320kbps VS a FLAC that's in the 1000kbps range is not straight up "clarity" in the sense that something like an instrument is "clearer" but rather the spacing and the ability to discern the difference where instruments come from is much better in a Hi-Res file with some decent wired headphones (my pair is $200). All this likey doesn't matter much though when most users stream via Spotify which sounds worse than my 320kbps locally and people are using Bluetooth headphones at lower bitrates since they don't have better codec compatibility like aptX and LDAC.

I believe emoji was a Japanese creation, not a Apple creation: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emoji
