Oh please, there are hundreds of not thousands of so G’s about suicide out there and they don’t have warnings

Stop being so overly cynic, trust me, it’s not as edgy as you think it is

Hopefully it’s because you’d never need one

Disney built its entire empire on existing/public domain stories. Cinderella, Little Mermaid, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Beauty and the Beast, Robin Hood. The list goes on. Hell even Aladdin is largely located from Middle Eastern fairy tales.

Absolutely, but at least back then they truly added value by tweaking the stories (those original stories are mostly horror stories to our hears) and providing great animation. Nowadays, they buy great IPs and just ruin them; not only they are not adding any value, they are actively taking value away from them

THAT is likely… but even then I am still concerned that, once the Democrats hopefully win, they’ll be all “let bygones be bygones” AGAIN

it’s in your head… the USA justice system is 100% open for sale. There is no way they will actually put him in jail

or a rich white dude unless he steals from other richer white dudes

All of this possible because half of Americans are functional illiterates barely able to follow the plot of a Tom and Jerry cartoon

He’ll never see the inside of a cell

I want it to be super cool to wear really old but well maintained clothes…

I want people to be all like “oh sorry, this is only 3 years old, I had nothing older to wear”

End the “color of the month” crap and all the hot fashion trends

Disney was a creative and innovative company up until the 90s maybe… In the last 2 decades almost everything they are known for was either made before or bought and destroyed

Yeah, that survival rate is for people that do not start drinking again… So, likely not her you know

Oh so you want me to explain to you why there are medical directives that rule out life long alcoholics from receiving incredibly scarce organs for transplant?

There is a ton of info here (first link after googling alcoholism and relapsing)

https://www.therecoveryvillage.com/alcohol-abuse/alcohol-relapse-statistics/

so I guess we agree there are barely any options for someone who actually wants a small car and, as such, buying a larger-than-I-want car should not be construed as a mandate for ever larger vehicles?!

It’s literally what the article said… she stopped drinking after diagnosis

Here, second hand from her partner (my emphasis)

Her partner Nathan Allan says he and her physicians petitioned four times for permission to get her a transplant, the only treatment that would possibly save her life. ->Huska, he said, stopped drinking as soon as she was diagnosed with Alcohol Liver Disease on March 3<- and had also registered for an alcohol cessation program to begin once she was discharged.

That’s when you take your business to the manufacturers who offer what you want. Mazda, Kia, Hyundai…

Mazda maybe… Kia and Hyundai, although they have indeed improved in reliability, continue to be the bottom of the tier for cars… and then, by your logic, I would be supporting cheaply made cars that are super easy to steal… it’s what the market wants!

AFAIK, none of the smaller European cars (Fiat, Peugeot, Seat) are offered in the Americas out of protection for Ford, Chev and Chrysler… nothing about demand not being there for more options in smaller categories

Stopping to drink for a few weeks after you realize you are about to die from drinking… doesn’t really make a difference here. Unfortunately, she was an alcoholic for most of her life and, before diagnosis, did not show any capacity to quit

So, even if she did stopped drinking 100% after May… it was just too late

I had discarded the idea of buying anything Ford a long time ago… this just tells me I had been right all along and there is zero reason to reconsider

Side note: is it me or the worst enshitification news always seem to come from Ford (out of the American car manufacturers)?

Again, a much smaller market where all cars need to be imported was still getting them (including base model diesels) while they weren’t available in the USA.

Ok so if you live in USA (or like me, in Canada)… WTF do I do if the car I want is offered in “a much smaller market” I have no access to?

Hell, Quebec, a single province, kept getting the Toyota Echo (IIRC) longer than the rest of Canada because so many were sold there and it’s not the only time this has happened, they buy hatchbacks and station wagons, they’re getting models not available in the rest of Canada and the US. It’s a market of 8 millions in a sea of 370 millions!

I live here and I do buy hatchbacks… my first car was a VW Golf here, not the Diesel edition because of what I mentioned before (not having the money or willingness to pay for leather seats and Bosse crap)… after having kids we wanted a Honda Element, just to find out Honda made them bigger than the Toyota Highlanders… now I have a Prius V and, drumroll, Toyota discontinued it in favour if the Rav4 hybrid which has again ballooned in size since the Rav-4 came out. If I wanted to buy a hatchback from Toyota today, I think I have access to the ICE GR Corolla (used to be CH-R?) which is a “supped up” hatchback starting at $50K CAD! or a smaller Corolla hatchback (2 years current wait) for $27. Everything else they offer is in the large SUV category

I’m sorry, maybe I’m just daft this week, but I missed the concept “the doctors believed her liver is so far gone, a partial would lot [sic] work” in that.

This was posted like 5 times and I assumed it was the same article… I’ll find the link to the original one where they detailed this. In any case, she was not eligible because she was likely to go back to drinking and ruin the new liver…

So where does the article state she kept drinking while waiting for the transplant?

I never said that… what the article says is that she was an alcoholic since late teens and was never able to stop. She literally only stopped drinking after she found out she was going to die, and that was only like 3 months. She tried to quit before but never succeeded… that tells you she was a super high risk of relapsing
