Imugi: And wait till I tell you that not even flying skates have been invented. Worse: they all went back to those old cartoonish skates with a handle, just electrified like a tram, sorta.
Bree: …
Imugi: Peace in the Middle East, please! Wait till I’ll tell you about the Anschluss of Canada and the invasion of Greenland, about how the fascists demand “freedom” and the liberals jail them in the name of “democracy”, all because of some tariff that can’t even work at all (the real problem is the bubble of financiarized speculative cost of life, the housing bubble).
Bree: What?! You can’t anymore buy all you want on a credit card and pray that the future pays the debt somehow?! Aaaaaaaaaaagh! My gaming debt must be ginormous!, yuge with z of zillions!
Imugi: Wait till I tell you about your hospital bill…
I’m pretty sure we’re already deep in “WW3 by proxy” but don’t tell Bree/Jen, it may be too much to digest, especially the part about broadcast Gaza genocide.
Oh no, not talking on those films who just destroyed the hype about one of the best saga of SF in the World. Will Imugi be able to realize it’s not a video game that sent Jen in there ? That would be a sight to see . And yeah, great work on noticing again Joker_vD; she is really going to keep her outfit if she doesn’t need to take out her “girls” for the world to see her lust
well, technically we HAVE “cured” “cancer”. the trick is finding them before they’ve spread. also not using so much “cure” that it doesn’t “cure” the patient into a coffin.
Sorry to hear that, erana. Hope you all OK now. For an old friend of mine, about the same time, alas, it was a death sentence. He was in a coma for several months, then gone! Lost both my first wife (after we were divorced) to the dreaded ‘C’, and my second wife three ago, in her case maybe she was downwind of Chernobyl. So, we haven’t really ‘cured’ (eradicated) cancer, even if you think you’ve caught it.
Same here, prostate in ’03. Thankfully the brachytherapy took care of it and my PSAs remain undetectable to this day. Although the usual thinking is that it’s just in remission, not cured.
As others said: you can’t cure cancer, no more than you can the common cold or the flu, only treat the symptoms
Me and mum both had cancer: they managed to catch it in time and treat it with surgery, no chemo for either of us and no bill either
The thing is, there IS a “cure” for (most) cancers, just that it does include surgery to get rid of the tumor, followed by chemo and/or radio as needed. There is not, and likely will never be, a magical pill that gets rid of the tumor, and the tumor only, with no need for surgery. But tell that to the seekers of magical healigs…
Or course they did. An entire series Interquels starring Jar Jar Binks – one person in costume, one robot and one animated in each movie. There is a cartoon series running simultaneously with movies.
Used to tell by the ears, but, here, I don’t know.
Tell her what lands the current President wants to declare war on and she’ll conclude you’re from a parallel dimension.
I am convinced we are on the scratch/sandboxed malware timeline where they turned off common sense and decency
You are optimist.

And don’t forget the cold war not only being back, but getting hot …

On the bright side, Bree’s nipples are still rated for glass cutting.

can relate. Got rid of a brain tumor back in 2007. Decades ago that would have been a death sentence.

I lost my mother, some relatives, and friends to cancer so I’m glad you made it!
We didn’t cured “cancer” because it’s not single illness with single cure. That said, we got significant progress with several common kinds of cancer.
Greyish blue skin, black eyes with points of light glowing from within…
Not human, but something worse…
She’s clearly a member of the IRS looking for Bree due to 30 years of her not filing her taxes
Man, the IRS can find you ANYWHERE
Ha, ha, but technically Jen, not Bree. We don’t care if you say you’ve moved to Wood Elf Land. You still owe US taxes.
Something worse than a human? Do they mean a politician? *rimshot*
Worse: a real state speculator!
Eh, HOA president maybe. Though if the real estate person works with HOAs, I could accept that.
Nope. Just the THREE Star Wars movies.
Prequels were okay, sequels kinda sucked, but the shows were pretty good for the most part.
Also, we’ve made significant progress towards curing cancer, and we have the math down for FTL.
Peace in the middle east is outside my wheelhouse.

Eh there’s some promising “make the body stop ignoring the cancer” treatments (still in development) but still nowhere near a magical pill level
And remember: Breen is the same, she just has an avatar to hide in

Talk about Torture Porn.
