i don't understand why you're bothered by this, honestly. sounds like you have psychological hangups regarding being given stuff for free and should absolutely not project that shame on your son.

oh yeah? well too fucking bad you dumbasses. should've voted better over the last 100 goddamn years if you loved labor unions so fucking much.

i meannnnnn.. that’s fair. so do i lol. but my job serves the community so it seems more like a service i’m willingly providing than anything. we don’t need “jobs,” we need fulfilling labor that benefits the whole.

I didn’t know AIDS could be this degree of silent. It’s truly scary. I’m partnered for life but would absolutely go on PrEP if I were single. No thank you.

okay so, as someone who has struggled with this my entire life but has recently married these concepts together let me try to give some insight. i truly thought i would never be able to find a personally rewarding job that i am good at and can tolerate well. i resigned myself to a lifetime of taking what i could get while constantly searching for that elusive role at a company that didn’t seem to exist.

the way i found my current job was simply by never giving up. i wish there were more to it. it was merely a matter of time moving forward plus the amount of searching and applying i did on a semi-regular basis. basically, never stop trying to find a job that benefits you as a whole. it’s likely out there and close by but incredibly difficult to obtain because everyone wants it. everyone wants the kind of job you’re searching for. your competition is large but it could always be your turn next.

i work for a business that gives back to my community. it is an amazing feeling knowing that i contribute to something people depend on and does good for the people in this city. i wish everyone had a job with purpose and meaning instead of meaningless tasks that only serve to make some asshole richer.

keep searching! always believe you deserve better because you do.

After doing my own searching I was able to learn how this death was possible. For those who were just as confused as me, AIDS can become deadly rapidly and suddenly once the immunity threshold is breached and collapses in those with low symptom or symptomless HIV. Basically, his immune system was able to hold back the infections for as long as it could, and when it eventually progressed into AIDS it was like a dam broke and flooded his system. The infections overwhelmed his body and killed him. It's likely that the HIV progressed to AIDS very recently for him. Most people with AIDS live to know they have it, some don't. This is a case of untreated and undiscovered HIV. His body was fighting off opportunistic infections during the HIV stage until AIDS made it impossible and the infection took over quickly.

medical fields can be slow to accept new information. hopefully this connection will be made soon.

the worst that can happen is it merely "wastes" your time

i'm honestly completely done with these people feeling in control and on top and have been for a long, long time. others are finally seeming to feel the same and if that spreads and enough of us get together.. then we'll have a nice bake sale.
