At the risk of once again being told what an idiot I am, healthcare in America sucks. Thanks for the present though, mom. We need all the help we can get.

By the way, feel free to tell me how great my Photoshop skills are. Some people on Lemmy love to tell me how I’m not sick and just making it up for sympathy.

Sorry… is there a community for “I’ve been pissed off for months now?”

    I was gonna say… disgruntled people on the internet have been around probably since before OP was born… the grievances and bitching unleashed on Usenet and IRC back in the day could be legendary. ESP on IRC, where users and entire servers would go to war with each other.

    The Internet is pretty incredible now, but it used to be a hell of a lot more fun

      I agree, but I am on a level of pissed off most people cannot really imagine. Because food is the biggest part of our culture. There is literally nothing more important to our lives than food. You can look on any commercial street and see something to do with food. Advertisements, restaurants, stores, you name it and food is there. Even companies that do not have anything to do with food will have signs on their buildings with food on them. It’s pure torture to not be able to eat anything (which I wish I could do so badly) and it pisses me off to no end. And as it’s gone on longer and longer, it makes me more and more pissed off. I haven’t eaten a solid meal since last August, mostly living on 6 Ensures and 4 V8s a day.

      On top of this other issue, I have an extremely painful nerve disorder called trigeminal neuralgia which I’ve been dealing with for about 7 years. Because I won the fucking genetic lottery.

      So you can imagine how pissed off I am at this point. If I believed in a god, I would think they were punishing me. But I don’t. Some people have fucked up genetics even if it’s not outwardly obvious and I guess that’s me.

      On the other hand, I feel like I have it easy compared to the person that posted a reply that said they got over stage 3 cancer as a teen and have lifelong problems because of it. That would be a whole other level of pissed off I can’t even comprehend.

        I didn’t mean to come off as dismissive regarding your situation, simply to say that this isn’t a new phenomenon on the Internet.

        I apologize for any offense caused

        I’m very sorry to hear about your health problems, and I only wish you the best.
