Ah yeah that is what is happening in the OP. But I don’t understand the Stewie Griffin one.

I don’t get this one

They cut all skin cancers out from your skin (well… barring some exceptions for very unusual types of cases). It’s just that melanoma often spread to other parts of your body quickly, which is why it is so deadly. But it still is standard practice to excise the portion that is visible on the skin surface.

One thing to note is that even the report you get after surgery says that all of the tumor was excised properly, it does NOT mean all of the cancer is necessarily gone, just that the one tumor was removed from that one area of your skin. You can have suspected or unsuspected spread elsewhere.

Idk if that makes any sense. I get these cases as part of my job which is both interesting and also terrifying at how readily they spread. But idk that I can explain well.

I will give you that. I definitely am on board with that. People love to link pop sci articles with dramatic headlines, but the reality often isn’t as dramatic. Pop sci articles definitely are one of my pet peeves. People will be like “cure for cancer found!” when in reality it’s just some sort of in vitro testing that destroyed cells. Cancer cells are also killed by bleach and fire, but those aren’t helpful for its treatment in humans lol.

So I get it lol. I guess I was just playing devil’s advocate for a moment.

Generally, surgery for melanoma is not very hardcore. Since we’re talking about the skin, they just cut out the area. It’s not a complicated procedure and is the standard treatment for melanoma.

Cancer treatments often gave multiple components to them. Ex: someone gets chemo and then surgery as part of a standard for certain types of cancers at certain stages.

It wouldn’t make any sense for someone to get this vaccine and for them to leave the cancer on the patient.

This is huge news, contrary to what you say. Melanoma has a crazy mortality rate. Cutting it in half is a huge success.

Is it affordable yet? Clearly not. But that doesn’t mean that it can’t get there eventually.

I got an oil paint, brush, canvas, and easel set and used it once lmao

These are amazing. Where did they end up going?

I work a physical/tactile job in healthcare. My job won’t be in danger until robotics dramatically advance and cheapen. AI could conceptually do my job, but the physicality is missing. A lot of healthcare careers are this way. Not all of them are though, so be wise in your choice!

I’m really sorry, dude. I really wish corporations weren’t so soulless. :(

…yes, and? I don’t get what your comment is trying to get at. I’m sorry that I’m not an uber paranoid luddite. I use modern tech. The name is in jest.

I could for the longest time until I couldn’t. Then hr threatened to fire me over it.

I got one of those automatic litter robots recently and this is what I named it

Interesting. I didn’t hear this part. Do you have more on this backstory? I watched a video from chair girl, but she didn’t mention instigating anything. I mean I definitely wouldn’t blame her for not wanting to admit it lol.

She got fired for this video, unfortunately. :(

Who is out here calling these “two way mirrors” and why?

Does anyone have a link to the original scientific paper?

Can confirm. Got my first tattoo during a bad time. Now I keep getting more lol.

Wow no I’m dumb I somehow skipped that part of the sentence sorry!!!

Have you ever heard of EMDR therapy? This really reminds me of this. It’s a newer therapy that is geared towards trauma. They do this weird thing where they have the participants move their eyes back and forth while thinking of their trauma. People seem to be torn on whether or not the eye movements themselves help or if it’s just the nature of performing an action while doing so. Kind of sounds like a similar concept to me.

Is this an actual screenshot of the show or is it edited? I love it if it’s real.

Edit: The answer is yes. It’s the episode where he gains a ton of weight to be considered disabled so he can wfh. Classic episode.
