Liver failure is terminal. She was invariably going to die without the transplant. She wanted to receive the donation, her donor wanted to donate. If the success rate for a living transplant is zero that’s one thing, but that’s not being claimed here since she wasn’t eligible for procedural reasons.

I’d be inclined to agree, except that her partner wanted to donate HIS liver and was prohibited from doing so as a living donation due to the alcohol use determination.

To be somewhat contrarian, what advantage is there in BLM raising these concerns and making this demand? What does it do, in this election cycle, to advance their agenda?

Thank you for the kind words. Not updating is not a decision we have taken lightly. I can’t speak to the specifics because I’m not tech enough to fully understand them, but I believe a major part of the reason for not updating has to do with that migration off Lemmy - that it changes the way data is stored and organized and because of such the migration process (moving comments, threads, etc. to sublinks) would need to be entirely redesigned.

The instance admins have indicated in the post linked above and in several others that there isn’t really any plan to upgrade to the newer Lemmy version given the desire to move to Sublinks.

Edit: There’s some more discussion about it in this thread posted earlier today. https://beehaw.org/post/15453474

Not even, it’s just a case of “this role was one of many eliminated as part of a larger cost-cutting measure affecting 200 employees.”

Oh for sure. Actually doing this is really unfair to her, and shouldn’t happen.

I also appreciate your reasoning for calling her Vivian. Well said.

Harris should share a video that mimics Elon’s voice talking about how he loves and supports his trans daughter and accepts her unconditionally as a woman.

Edit: Several people seem to have taken this seriously. For clarity, it was a joke. It would be really unfair and inappropriate to weaponize her in this way without her consent. I regret the ambiguity.

Well, for starters, “college” uses a soft g sound.

I hate Fox News. I think they are a joke masquerading as news and mostly serve to fuel misinformation, fear, and hate. I have no doubt that a significant number of their staff members are incredibly racist, overtly and covertly. I don’t know enough about Kilmeade to know for sure where he sits there, but I definitely think being a Fox host is already a pretty big red flag on the “are you a racist” test.

But… I have to be honest on this one, I hear him say “college.”

Back pocket trick?

Not OP, but it’s listed as “cornflour” here: https://www.npr.org/2024/06/19/nx-s1-5012595/climate-activists-arrested-stonehenge

The article links back to a page/post from the group the activists were with, and appears to be the source of the substance identification.

Last year, the popular right-wing podcaster Steven Crowder announced his own unwilling split. “My then-wife decided that she didn’t want to be married anymore,” he complained, “and in the state of Texas, that is completely permitted.”

I mean, women only exist to be owned by their husbands, after all.

Been on a Cyberpunk 2077 binge for the last 2 weeks or so. I’m maybe 4-6 hours away from completing everything except the final main story mission. It’s been an absolute pleasure, I haven’t found myself wanting to come back to a singleplayer game in the same way for some time. I know the game had a rocky start, but having picked it up much later, it’s a welcome addition to my “would recommend” list of games for RPG-lovers.

I mean, there are trivial reasons for this. If I own a $1.2m home and have $100,000 in the bank, I’m a millionaire who couldn’t post a $250,000 bond.
