In Topic: What's messing with your groove?

QuickTidal, on 14 May 2026 - 02:50 PM, said:So now my stepmom has been admitted to hospital for her mental health (4th time for suicidal thoughts in the last 5 years; 2 of which were actual attempts; she had a MESSED up early life [grew up in a hard-as-nails nunnery in British India at the foothills of some mountains] and her first abusive marriage before my dad and it took its toll on her mental state), and my dad who is now recovering at home from his heart surgery and can't lift anything heavier than a few pounds or drive for 6 weeks, has to try to get a PSW in but there is no caregiver for much else.
Now, he says he's fine and has lots of food ect. and that he can Uber to appts if need be...he's stubborn and doesn't like to feel like a burden...but of course I feel like I should do what I can and it's a long weekend.
I can do the one thing I'm truly good at, cook. He may have food, but my dad can't really cook to save his life, So I've offered to meal prep a bunch of meals he can keep in the fridge and bring them out to him on Saturday (he lives 1.5hrs away so that's a bit of a hike), and pick up any meds that he needs, and spend the day with him and have a dinner with him and then head home later in the evening.
My step brother (who lives 4-5hrs away) suggested a few days of help...but my dad is surly, OCD, and particular on the best of days, so recovering from heart surgery while his wife is in the hospital for suicidal thoughts again, he will be....difficult.
That's about the extent of what I can do but I can probably set him up for at least a week of protein-rich dinners and snacks and fruits and such. And I'll spend the day with him chatting or watching movies or whatever he wants just to provide some mental support too.
It's the drive that annoys me, it would be so much easier if he lived close by.
He's agreed to NONE of this so far, but he did say I could check with him closer to the weekend to see if he's amenable to it then. As I said, the man is stubborn.
Looking after aging parents is hard when they are super set in their ways.
Sorry to hear. Its tough when bad things happen and they start to snowball. Wishing you and your family strength
Food is a great support, especially if his diet may be restricted post heart surgery. Im sure meal preping will be a big help. I often gift people food delivery gift cards in tough times to give them a way to take care of a basic need without feeling guilty about spending the money on doordash etc. If you have a local neighborhood type of restaurant that he enjoys you can try negotiate some kind deal with them for regular food deliveries which can even be a type of regular check in. -

Whisperzzzzzzz, on 11 May 2026 - 09:16 AM, said:Great, we have dispersed hantavirus-exposed folks all over the word and told them to "self-isolate". What could go wrong.
How fucking hard is it to lock them all in a hotel for a month?
Quarantines like this are usually monitored with phone checks ins, personal visits and I guess depending on the country the threat of criminal prosecution and fines for breaking it. Its not normally please go home and pretty please don't leave.
Your not wrong though, there was a time people could be adults and respect something like this but these days skepticism is understandable. If you work with dangerous viruses and get a possible exposure this would typically be how its handled. I guess professionals are more trustworthy than randoms though.
Also seems logical to spend some small effort and money today rather than a thousand fold tomorrow
QuickTidal, on 11 May 2026 - 03:44 PM, said:Meh, the patients slipped quarantine the minute they let people off in St. Helena...after that quarantining the boat seems an afterthought.
The real question is how much deep shit will the cruise line be in when it's discovered that they let sick people (FFS the wife of patient zero) off the ship to fly to their home destinations...like is this enough to sink this cruise line? It should be at the very least a class action lawsuit. They've been operating since 1993, they for sure know better than this.
I think this is a standard practice though? Maybe post covid things should be different but if you ask to leave a cruise they let you. You cant tell the difference between a flu, covid without PCR testing and most countries/cruises/doctors wont bother without good reason.
I havent followed the details of this story too closely so if they knew it was Hanta at that point then that does change things. -
In Topic: The Russia Politics and War in Ukraine Thread

The momentum has already shifted.
Only in 2026 did Russia need cover to hold their victory parade. The irony is palpable. The move all but signals they cant maintain the war at previous levels and they weren’t winning then. How can they possibly sell that victory is achievable now?
How much longer this drags out who knows but the only choices seem to be permanent stalemate or permanent ceasefire. -

Should I... Should I become a prepper?
I don't think prepping is stupid but when I see some people who live the prepping life I cant help but think its morphed into a hoarding or shopping addiction rather than actual emergency preparedness. I probably have enough food and water in my apartment to survive a week never ind 72 hours at any given time just from regular groceries. Realistically the average person against an airborne virus is not prepped to avoid all risk N95 masks or not. For viruses they require proper training, seal checks and no facial hair to be effective. Covid masks were more about not spitting your germs on other people and less about not breathing in there germ. Better than nothing but not 100%.
Realistically though I have never faced a serious situation, never been without power or water for more than 24 hours in my life. Guess its different if your in a hurricane, earthquake etc zone, -

It tips there hand, already acknowledges the donation would be problematic and simply is asking how problematic. If they were to do such a survey it would be private focus groups and more circumspect surely.
Sure, grain of salt for now, but a lot of other companies are publicly gobbling Trumps knob, why not Nike?
Don't mistake me, I wont be surprised if the thing ends up called the Nike Ballroom and has a wall of logos with Logo size determined by if you were a Platinum, Gold, Silver or Bronze donor. It would complete the Trump slide into ideocracy. I just think the survey seems odd.

Not sure if true but I heard the final oil tanker that left the strait docked and unloaded its oil at an american terminal. If thats true it means the supply is now truly cut and even if the strait opens supply will take a month to reach anywhere near normal levels again. Last I saw the average gas price was 4.50 which is a 50% increase from the 3 dollars before the war started. If it goes up from there even further...
Trump will start trying to write executive orders that oil cant be sold overseas or some such to keep prices down and I suspect like everything he does it will be badly mishandled.
