  1. And thats still none of your business. You aint their financial advisor and as far as Im concerned, what they do with their money is absolutely none of your business.
  2. A young man is in the ICU on life support, fighting for his life. I know some of you here love to get grumpy and bitter every time fundraising is mentioned, but maybe take a moment to think about the situation. This is someone’s son, brother, or friend going through something unimaginable. Theres alot of grumpy angry old people here.
  3. I believe the two girls you're referring to are actually from my hometown, Quebec. They were sisters: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/phosphine-gas-likely-cause-of-thailand-deaths-of-quebec-sisters-coroner-1.2977667 If I remember correctly, they died from exposure to a toxic pesticide used in their room. Honestly, it could be anything. One of my close friends tragically died on Koh Phangan during the Full Moon Party in 2015. It made headlines everywhere. She was stung by a box jellyfish just seconds after entering the water, and her heart stopped within 20 seconds. Who knows? Maybe he had cardiomyopathy and didn’t know it. Some people are born with heart defects and are completely unaware. It could literally be anything.
  4. Eggscuse me, I thought it was funny 😞
  5. 6th jab?!? Thats some serious dedication!
  6. First, let me clarify a few things, since you seem genuinely misinformed about how situations like this work. As someone experienced in digital marketing and crowdfunding platforms like GoFundMe, I can assure you that the cost of repatriating a body isn’t the only expense involved. For a starter, they havent received 37 000 Euro. Gofundme takes 2.9% + $0.30 per donation. When a tragedy like this happens, there are often substantial additional costs such as: Funeral arrangements Legal fees or administrative costs related to the death. Travel expenses for family members to handle affairs, both abroad and locally. Potential debt or financial hardship caused by the sudden loss of a loved one. GoFundMe campaigns are designed to offer support beyond just the immediate costs. The platform doesn’t automatically cut off donations once a goal is reached. People choose to continue donating out of compassion, and it’s up to the family how they use the funds. This isn’t about ‘asking for more money’, it’s about people showing kindness during a devastating time. Your fixation on the numbers while ignoring the context shows a lack of understanding and empathy. Instead of questioning the generosity of others, maybe take a moment to reflect on why this bothers you so much. If you don’t want to donate, that’s fine, but shaming a grieving family is neither productive nor kind.
  7. The irony of telling me to write something worthwhile after you wrote that festering pile of word vomit. It’s fascinating how you’ve twisted an act of compassion and generosity into something to criticize. The family has no control over how much people choose to donate, nor should they be expected to stop others from showing their support just because a goal was surpassed. If anything, it’s a testament to how much this young man was loved and respected. Perhaps instead of projecting jealousy or envy, you could focus your energy on something constructive (like painting a wall) or better yet, extend some empathy to a grieving family (not sure youre capable of that though based on your posts here).
  8. You really spent all that energy writing that nonsense? Try harder. Go outside paint a house or something.
  9. It seems you're having trouble understanding a simple sentence, so let me clarify for you: They have received 30,000 euros in donations from various supporters. What they choose to do with those funds is neither your concern nor mine. The cost of the funeral is entirely irrelevant to this discussion.
  10. I just pasted my thoughts regarding cannabis in general on ChatGPT since English isnt my first language but youll get a good idea of how to approach cannabis next time. Cannabis often gets unfairly lumped into a single category as "just a drug," but the reality is far more nuanced. There are different strains of cannabis—Sativa, Indica, and Hybrids—and each can have profoundly different effects on the body and mind. Understanding these differences is key to finding what works best for you, especially if you're using cannabis for therapeutic purposes or just to relax. Start Slow and Test Your Strain If you're new to cannabis or trying a new strain, don't go overboard. Even a modest amount, like 0.5g, can be overwhelming if you don’t know how it will affect you. Instead, take 3-4 small puffs, then give yourself some time to relax and analyze how you feel. This approach will help you gauge the strain's effects on your body and mind before diving in deeper. The Basics of Sativa, Indica, and Hybrid Strains Sativa: Known for its uplifting and energizing effects, Sativa strains are often associated with increased creativity, focus, and euphoria. They’re a popular choice for daytime use, but they’re not for everyone. Indica: These strains are typically relaxing and calming, often used to relieve stress, anxiety, insomnia, and pain. Indica is great for unwinding after a long day or for soothing the mind and body. Hybrids: A mix of Sativa and Indica genetics, hybrids can provide a balanced experience, offering the best of both worlds depending on the strain's dominant traits. My Personal Experience As someone who struggles with PTSD, OCD, and social anxiety, I’ve found that Sativa strains can be overwhelming for me. While they’re supposed to boost energy and creativity, they often leave me feeling paranoid and overstimulated due to my introverted nature. On the other hand, Indica strains are my go-to. They calm my entire body and mind, helping me focus on constructive thoughts without feeling weighed down by anxiety. Indica is like a warm blanket for my nerves. I’ve also had great experiences with hybrid strains, like the Ed Rosenthal strain. This hybrid gives me a perfect balance: I feel the Sativa’s head effects—energy and creativity—while my body remains completely chilled out, creating an incredibly enjoyable and productive high. Why You Should Experiment Thoughtfully Every strain is different. Not all Sativas or Indicas will affect you in the same way, which is why it’s crucial to test and learn what your body and mind respond to best. Some Sativas might surprise you with their subtlety, and some Indicas might be too sedating. Experimentation is key, but always start slow and stay mindful of how you feel. Cannabis is a personal journey, and finding the right strain can transform the experience from "just getting high" to genuinely enhancing your well-being. Stay curious, stay cautious, and enjoy the ride!
  11. As they say: '' Don't turn a misdemeanor in a felony ''
  12. It depends on what kind of arrhythmia. There are so many different kinds and most of them aren't dangerous. I myself have non-sustained extrasystoles (pvcs-pacs -- I'm 36), but they're actually harmless since I have a normally structured heart. Not dangerous but extremely annoying, and they can take a toll on mental health. However, I do suggest to anyone who hasn't been checked to undergo an ECG to ensure that their heart is structurally normal because it can be potentially dangerous with an unhealthy heart. (That's actually how young football players die—they had congenital heart issues that they weren't aware of because they never tested for it).
