So After I graduated from high school my relationship with my friends at the time was good and I did not think that we would change especially after I attended the party of one of my friends son which was two years ago, but..
Unfortunately, this happened a few years after they entered university, while I was working We communicated less but I was the one who always took the initiative I used to ask about them ask if they were fine after being sick It was all one-sided, and because I did not have very good friends at work.. so I became attached to him The ancients..
I continued to be the one who continued to provide attention I felt annoyed that they did not return it but... unfortunately, I continued. Until it happened a few months ago.. I talked to one of my friends and told her what you think about us going out and having fun and she told me that we will do that later and that there is no problem.. But my view of the whole thing changed when the same friend posted that she had invited the rest of her friends from high school to her house and she did not invite me even though I had spoken to her perhaps a week before she invited them.
I felt upset at the time but that was the night that changed everything.
Since then, I stopped asking about her, and until her birthday, I did not send her congratulations, because I also posted that I was sick a few days before her birthday, and she did not ask about me, even though some of my old friends had asked about me.
I also noticed that one of the girls that she had invited to her house had arrived she hiding me on Snapchat and I did the same..
Since that time, I have become superficial in my relationships and do not give anything more than it deserves. It was a painful experience, but I feel stupid because I did not understand the matter from the beginning Now I feel better I mean being alone is better than giving attention to people who do not deserve it but the thought and loneliness hit me something even I have a lot of online friends who make it’s better for me.

In the world of nanotechnology, the art of assembly is a delicate dance of molecules and reactions. It is a process that requires precision, patience, and a deep understanding of the intricate relationships between building blocks. In this essay, we will delve into the step-by-step process of crafting PMPC25-PDPA70 polymersomes, a complex nanostructure with unique properties.
The journey begins with the selection of two key ingredients: MPC (2-Methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine) and DPA (Dopamine acrylamide). These molecules are the foundation upon which the polymersome is built, each with its own unique characteristics. MPC, with its water-loving head and water-repelling tail, provides a hydrophilic-hydrophobic balance that is essential for the polymersome’s structure. DPA, on the other hand, is the dopamine-inspired component that confers adhesive and reactive properties to the polymersome.
The next step is the linking of these molecules together in a chain, a process known as Atom-Transfer Radical Polymerization (ATRP). This sophisticated technique is akin to building a Lego structure with specific instructions, where each molecule is carefully added to the growing chain. The initiator molecule kicks off the chain-building process, while copper bromide and bipyridine act as catalysts, speeding up the reaction and ensuring its smooth progression.
As the reaction unfolds, the researchers carefully monitor its progress, using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to confirm that all the MPC has been incorporated into the growing chain. This is akin to taking a snapshot to see how the Lego structure is coming along, ensuring that each piece is in its correct place.
Once the MPC is used up, the researchers add more DPA to the mix, continuing the chain-building process and incorporating the dopamine-inspired component. The resulting mixture is then filtered through silica gel, removing impurities and leaving behind a pure solution. This solution is then subjected to dialysis, a process that removes smaller molecules, and finally, freeze-dried to produce a fluffy powder of PMPC25-PDPA70 polymer.
But the journey is not yet complete. The researchers must still verify the quality of the polymer, using techniques such as Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) to separate the polymer chains by size. This analysis is akin to running a race, where smaller chains move faster, while larger chains lag behind. The results confirm the polymer’s characteristics, ensuring that it meets the required standards.
The final step is the creation of the polymersomes themselves, a process known as self-assembly. The polymer powder is dissolved, spread into a thin film, and then rehydrated to form tiny, bubble-like structures called polymersomes. Alternatively, the polymer can be dissolved in acidic conditions, and then the pH slowly raised, triggering the polymer molecules to self-assemble into polymersomes.

In the end, the art of assembly is a testament to human ingenuity and the power of science. By carefully crafting each step, the have created a complex nanostructure with unique properties, a true marvel of modern technology.researchers 

An important question for reviewing a controversial statement is, "Did I adequately address the opposing arguments?"
This question requires authors to critically examine how they have captured and responded to opposing viewpoints in their texts. Effective argumentation requires not only presenting one’s arguments but also anticipating and dealing with potential objections or arguments. Writers should examine whether their opposing viewpoints have been adequately validated and whether their rebuttals are persuasive and well supported.
By considering this question during the revision process, authors can strengthen the overall persuasiveness and conviction of their arguments. It encourages thorough research and the use of new ideas, demonstrating intellectual honesty and integrity in the theoretical process. Additionally, the handling of opposing arguments demonstrates a nuanced understanding of the topic and convinces the author by demonstrating an ability to engage in critical thinking and reasoning on.

Hi this is my first time posting here. I've been an ASMR script writer for a few months and have been posting on ASMRScriptHaven I found this subreddit and thought I'd post here as well. This is my latest script and I'm sharing it here as well as on ASMRScriptHaven.
This is part 4 of my infertile vampire series. You can find the other parts in my masterlist: My masterlist :
I put the script in scriptbin for ease of recording (I heard some VA's prefer reading it from there): Virtual-Grade592: [A4A] [F4A] [M4A] Your vampire partner is infertile [vampire] [established relationship] - scriptbin
It's okay to fill this script and make minor adjustments. Please give me credit for writing the script and put a link in the comments so that I can find your audio. It's okay to paywall, but send me a copy of the audio then.
This part will have 2 speakers, the infertile vampire partner and the adoptive vampire. I’ve given the infertile vampire partner the name Alex, so I’ll use an A to indicate when they speaks and the adoptive vampire is called Ender, so I’ll use an E to indicate when they speak. Feel free to change pronouns and names to fit your audio.
(several days have passed since Ender started living with Alex and the listener. Ender has been gradually getting more at ease with their vampiric nature. Today all of you sit down to discuss the next step in Ender’s education as a vampire.)
[The listener, Alex and Ender sit down on a couple of chairs in the living room]
E: *nervous* I’m not ready for this.
A: *reassuring* Everyone is anxious for the first time they need to feed. You’re such a calm vampire, I’m sure you’ll do fine.
E: *still anxious* But what if I lose control? The blood bags you’ve been feeding me taste so much better than the animal blood I drank before. What if I can’t stop once I start?
A: You’re worrying too much. We aren’t the bloodthirsty monsters that the media portrays us as. Your hunger is the same as when you were human. Only starving or psychopathic vampires would drain a human to the point of death.
E: *unsure* I still feel that this is dangerous. When I arrived here, I had trouble restraining myself from drinking from them.
A: Back then you were starving. Your survival instinct was screaming at you that you needed blood. And you didn’t even give in to it. Now you aren’t starving. At this moment does it feel like you need to bite a human?
E: No, I’m fine now.
A: My point exactly. You’re fine and you’ll still be fine if you feed.
E: *slowly building up courage* I suppose you are right. It feels daunting though. I imagine many things could go wrong, like I could accidentally bite their artery. But those are worst case scenarios right?
A: Yes, that’s right. Those are just worst case scenarios and they are very rare. In all the years I’ve been feeding off of them *pointing at the listener* There were never any problems. All that will happen is that your partner gets a bit fatigued. *cheeky* Or they’ll get turned on if they have a thing for vampires.
[pause]
A: *amused* Aw that’s cute, look at the both of you blushing. I understand that Ender might be flustered at their first time feeding, *Alex turns to the listener* But I’ve fed plenty of times on you, my darling. Why are you bashful about the notion of Ender drinking from you?
[pause]
A: You’re afraid it’ll be too intimate? Hey sweetheart, there is nothing wrong with how you’ll react or feel when being fed on. I won’t see it as cheating if you get hot and bothered. It’s only cheating if you act on it. You don’t need to be ashamed if you get a bit, um how to say this … excited? Yeah excited. It’s okay if you get excited from being fed on. You’re married to a vampire, it’s normal to like being bitten. And if it gets too much for you then *suggestive* we can always retire to our bedroom to ‘deal’ with any overwhelming emotions.
[pause]
A: That seems to have put you at ease. It’s going to be okay darling. It’ll just be like me feeding on you. And I’ll guide Ender through it all to keep you and them safe.
E: *stammering nervously* Um, c-could we do this another time? I-I still don’t feel r-ready. I t-think It’ll be easier if I had more time to mentally prepare myself.
A: *encouraging* Ender, I can tell that you are ready now. You’ve been doing fine this last week and you are cautious. I know this will go alright. If we delay it now, it’ll just become more daunting to bite a human. The extra time will just increase your nervousness, not lessen it. So please believe me, because now is the best time to do your first feeding.
E: *getting more confident* Maybe you’re right. I should try at some point, so why not now. Even if something goes wrong, you’re here to help.
A: That’s the spirit. So when you’re ready, sit down next to our prospective bite victim.
[Ender sits down next to the listener]
A: Now, feeding takes three simple steps. First, put some of your saliva on the part of the skin you want to feed on. Our saliva has a numbing effect on humans, so this way your prey won’t feel pain from your bite. If your victim has been particularly annoying, then I’d spit on them, but otherwise it’s nicer to apply your saliva with a kiss. Second you bite the skin and begin drinking. Third when you’ve had your fill, you remove your fangs and catch your prey if they got too drained from the blood loss. Then you are done.
E: Okay, I think I can do that. Human, if you want me to stop at any moment, just squeeze my hand or tell me to stop. Are you ready as well?
[pause]
E: Good, then I’ll begin.
[sound of Ender giving one kiss on the neck]
E: *uncertain* There’s the saliva. Is it working? Are you feeling numb?
[pause]
E: Yeah? Okay, then I’ll bite you now.
[sound of a bite and the sucking of blood]
[after a few moments Ender stops the bite]
E: *pleasantly surprised* Huh, that was a lot easier than expected. Are you feeling okay?
[pause]
E: Phew, that’s good. I’m glad you’re fine.
A: To me it seems alright as well. Sweetheart can you tilt your neck? I want to check the wound just in case.
[listener tilts neck]
A: *pleased* This is a very clean wound. It’s hardly worse than a papercut. You did well Ender, you can be proud.
E: It felt surprisingly good. I could certainly get used to this.
A: *amused* My, my, you’re really getting used to your vampirism aren’t you. Already eager to bite more humans and taste their delicious blood. It’s a good thing you are kind-hearted or humanity would have to fear a new predator in the night.
E: *flustered* If you put it like that, it sounds like I’m getting bloodthirsty. I just liked biting them. But I don’t want to go hunting them and forcefully feed off of them.
A: *chuckling* That’s adorable dear. You won’t have to worry about hunting anyone. There are plenty of humans with a thing for vampires. Whenever you feel like biting anyone, just find one of them. They’ll happily consent to being fed upon. Especially wit the internet it’s easy to find people who want to do some vampire ‘roleplaying’.
E: *Surprised* It’s that easy? People even like our bite?
A: Oh yes, they certainly do. Just look at my partner. They seem quite satisfied from the ordeal. And you’re happy with how it all went, right darling?
[pause]
E: That’s a relief. I’d hate it if I had to hurt someone every time I ate.
A: Oh that won’t happen. Tomorrow I’ll teach you to find these humans eager to be bitten. And you’ll be surprised how many of them there are.
E: *excited* Ooh, I can’t wait for it.
A: Great, then we’ll pick this up first thing tomorrow morning. But for now let’s start on dinner. My sweetheart can use some food after losing blood.
[fade to black as the three of them get dinner ready]

I was in a two year relationship & found out my ex had a severe drug addiction & honestly was living a double life for a good portion of our relationship as well as cheating on me (telling girls he is single and whatever else). When I found out- I left and gave him the space to talk and explain and he honestly never really had anything to say wo me urging him for an apology or explanation. It’s been a few weeks since we spoke & I reached out to see if we could have a convo- Accidentally drunk called him and he didn’t pick up, I’ve sent a few vulnerable text messages and even a voice memo and he has not responded or acknowledged any of it.
idk what I’m looking for. Closure? To hear his voice? Maybe to understand wtf just happened bc my whole world feels so weird- anyway he has gone radio silence. It makes me feel as if I did something wrong- It hurts. I’m already gutted and now this on top of it is a lot. Any advice?

Hi, I 23(f) and my boyfriend 21(m) doesn’t understand what BPD is or that it’s a forever disorder. I’m undiagnosed but I’m coming to terms with the fact that I have Quiet BPD and I need therapy, meds and a strict regime to keep my emotions in check and my life balanced. (I live in Quebec and the health care system is a mess so meeting with a psychologist is next to impossible let alone a psychiatrist.) However being in a relationship makes it so much harder for me to manage my thoughts and emotions. I’ve read quite a few of your posts and I sympathize with those of you who struggled with a loved one who had BPD and that’s ultimately what I want to avoid with my partner. I love him but I don’t want to hurt him and I don’t know how to convince him that it’s better this way… any suggestions? Please I’m desperate…
Ps. I am aware that this is a form of self sabotaging behaviour but I really think it’s for the best…

Argalia. I have no idea what to do with this man. I understand the resonance passive but would like to know what passives work well with him and help with deck building. I currently have 2x Largo, 2x Allegro, 2x controlled resonance, 1x resonant scythe, 1x Tempestuous danza, and 1x crescendo. I would like to keep resonant scythe and at least one mass attack but can’t figure out what to do to balance light restoration, adding vibrations, and removing them. I mostly use Argalia on Roland’s floor but occasionally throw him on Binah’s.

Can anyone of us help that poor family? May be . Will this make a change? May be.
Should we be aware? 100% yes. No matter from which state, city or constitucy we are in, if we stay silent after watching an injustice we are doing more injustice. Girls safety is a major concern but what's more concerning is people with authority manipulating Information as per their way clearly says fuck you middle class. A family lost their everything with no mistake of their and the one who was in charge of justice is fueling the injustice.
Share so what media could not do we should. You have no idea but just by making an injustice reach more people you become a better civilian than media and that Delhi Police officer.

Hi everyone, the title is pretty much the core of the issue.
23, male, 180cm, 60kg, white pale complexion, smoker.
I have been experiencing this for years now and I can’t seem to find any definitive solution. Not even my doctor could help me so I’m asking here in the hope someone recognises this or has some useful advice.
Long story short sometimes I get out of the shower or bath and as soon as my legs dry a little they start to itch. Itching restlessly and intensely as if someone was pinching me all over them. It usually lasts a few minutes and then progressively calms down, even tho it can last up to half an hour sometimes.
I know it doesn’t sound like much of a problem but I really can’t describe how terrible it feels with words. When it happens I feel helpless and like I could go mad, it’s a very intense sensation, sometimes I even slapped my legs hoping they would stop. Sometimes it starts making me shake
It feels obvious to say it but scratching only makes it worse and prolongs the torture.
On to the weirdness of this: I thought of every possible reason this happens and every possible remedy doesn’t help in the slightest and sometimes makes it worse.
I thought it was a skin sensitivity problem and I only use pharmacy’s shower oil to wash my body, nor do I use exfoliants chemical or physical (I wash myself with my bare hands and nothing more).
I thought it was a dryness problem so I tried multiple hydrating creams all with varying results from no effect to making the situation worse.
I thought it was an oil depletion problem so I applied sweet almond oil (which also should have calming effects on irritations) and it doesn’t do anything.
I thought it was a circulatory problem so I started wearing compression socks as some recommend (I don’t have varicose veins nor anything similar).
What is left on my list of ideas is a peripheral nervous problem and I really want to hope that is not the case.
I can’t see a correlation between the times it happens (as it’s not a regular appointment, thankfully) as it doesn’t matter if I shower or bathe, hot or cold, etc.
The additional useful information that I can tell you is:

• It could have some correlation with shaving: I say could because I don’t shave often, I don’t do it with anything other than an electric razors with spacers anymore and, most importantly, it happened when I hadn’t shaved for months too, although less intensely
  
• It happens consistently every time I bathe in sea water and that is the only time the sensation expands all over my body (when it happens at home my arms itch too sometimes, but way less noticeably than my legs).
  
• There are no visible signs of this, no rashes, not even redness
  
• My mother said she has had this problem all her life but the solution that worked for her was using cleaning products for sensitive skin which, as I mentioned, didn’t do it for me (although it seems to have made it a little less frequent, sea water aside).
  

Please help Thank you for reading this long message

Hi i’m new to this, im not sure i’m posting in the right place but anyway😅 I got a new 168l tank size dimension 70cm length 56cm height 40cm depth (roughly) I kept a betta male and some amano shrimp and small cherry shrimp in a smaller tank for a while and since upgraded to this (betta and shrimp have since died) I am cycling this tank as of right now and hopefully in a month or longer it will be ready for a community of fish, i hve an idea of what i would like i have done plenty of research and know it may be a little difficult for what i want but i do have a backup tank if things were to go wrong. This is what i would want
10ish cardinal tetras
1 bristlenose pleco
1 female betta
3? dalmatian mollys
4 amano shrimp
i understand having a betta female or male i would have to keep a close eye on the other fish but i’m hoping it would work out. i guess i just want some advice from people who have maybe kept similar? i’d like to know if maybe that’s too many to keep in this size tank? i’m not sure please let me know

“I apologize for not responding earlier or reaching out preemptively, but I’ve been waiting for the responses from various parties regarding how to move forward… At this point, I’m not sure if you are aware of the issue with the pressing of New Found Glory’s “From The Screen To Your Stereo Pt. 2”, but it is missing track 3…
We have reached out to all parties involved and I would like to say first that this result in faulty manufacturing is NOT the fault of New Found Glory, or of Drive Thru Records…
I have been searching for a solution that frankly won’t bankrupt what we have had here. It has been a difficult year already and after personnel changes we feel that we have addressed the areas that needed more attention, and more importantly, can ensure that we won’t have the difficulties that we (and you) have been experiencing.
I have been in touch with the manufacturing plant, and we are going to repress all copies of this printing of “From The Screen To Your Stereo Pt. 2”, and we will ship these out to you. Further, your order of this record will get you early access (via email) to the next release from New Found Glory that we will be pressing later this year.
I know and understand that it is frustrating to wait for these to be shipped, delays in manufacturing, and then to have this happen; I assure you that it has been nothing short of a nightmare on my side and that I’m doing all that I can to try and make this right for you, the band, and all the fans.”
E-Mail response I received today. After waiting forever for any information.

this is really embarrassing, and i understand if people make fun of it but.. i have this weird thing where i think pictures and posters can see me? its not like in a creepy way or anything.. like its only certain ones and people.. celebrities only i’ve noticed and only ones i feel drawn to. For example, i fell in love with heath ledger when i was like 10 and i would have posters of him in my room and would feel like he would watch me throughout my day and it was very comforting. i started to put pictures on my folders at school so he could come with me everywhere no matter where i was.. my phone background, in my car.. like anywhere that he could “watch” me.. i ended up self diagnosing myself a few years ago with erotomania because i saw an episode of dr phil where this woman thought someone like idk johnny depp or some other big actor or something was in love with her.. i was like wow she’s crazy during the trailer of the ep but then watching it it hit a little too close to home for me.. seeing numbers on license plates thinking it’s a sign or looking at the clock at the right time to see a number somehow relating to him (IE his birthday or something like that) it became consuming and i’ve been working on it ever sense and trying not to let it effect me or anything.. even though it was always a nice feeling and most of the time was the only good thing in my day. i’ve now been noticing that i think pictures and posters can see me and watch my day a little bit more.. right now ive been really into the Harry potter movies and Draco is my favorite so i’ve been super super into Tom Felton and bought his book. he’s on the cover and i take it most places with me so he can “be around me” and watch my day.. if im working the book is on the table next to me, if im cooking it’s leaning on the toaster so he can see what im cooking, if im driving its in passenger seat.. if im sleeping its on my nightstand next to my bed.. i dont like take it in stores or restaurants because im aware its not normal and weird and creepy but my brain is like it’s real he can see you… i know this sounds stalkerish and creepy but i really dont do anything else like find where they live or anything like that!! i just think the pictures want to be with and around me..
i think because i feel so unloved in reality that the pictures bring me a sense of love and comfort that someone loves me and wants me even though i KNOWWWW they can’t see me or anything like that my brain has this delusional obsession with thinking that they can somehow. it’s not debilitating me or anything it’s just something i’ve noticed and want to know more about what it could be so i can learn to cope and heal from it more and possibly control the delusion one day.
is this part of erotomania or something else? has anyone experienced this or know what it could be?
again i expect to be bullied or made fun of for this i know it’s weird.. i just can’t help it my brain is just broken or something

I’ll try and keep things as concise as possible. My partner (30M) and I (32F) have been having a rough time for about five months. I work full time and he’s a student. The solutions seem simple but it all seems to fall on me to fix or change things. I’ll admit, I’m not perfect and am always trying to better myself for but just me but all my relationships.
My partner tells me that I don’t make him feel loved or valued. He says he’s bored in our relationship and feels I should know what his interests are and that it shouldn’t be as difficult as I’m making it out to be. However, I’m the past when I’ve suggested dates and things to do, they’re often dismissed or are inadequate.
I understand not wanting to be in a rut and wanting/needing a little spice to keep things interesting. It sucks when I’m constantly told that I don’t put effort or care into our relationship. I often feel criticized and not accepted for who I am and what I have done for us.
There has been financial strain the last few months as well. He has quit several jobs without notice, leaving me to cover most of our expenses. I’ve never once been upset about his needing to quit jobs because he’s been struggling with his mental health because of them. I’ve only ever told him, and just recently, that I will soon not be able to cover our monthly expenses on my own.
One last thing that has been challenging is our priorities. He feels I put my family before our relationship. I’ve made mistakes in the past and have. We had a family vacation and he asked if we could spend some time alone for a few hours. I told him yes but never made it happen. I messed up. I own it and told him I thought our group would naturally kind of split off. It didn’t. He was upset, which is fair. But now, when we have disagreements, it comes up. Just to tack on at the end here. I feel he doesn’t respect my choice not to eat meet. When we first started dating I had been vegan for 8 years. He’s not and food is important to him. I’ve relaxed my diet and am basically vegetarian now. I’ve even had a bit of sea food. I still would rather not eat meat or eggs on their own. It’s been so long that my stomach may not handle it and I’m afraid my taste buds really won’t like it. But despite me relaxing my diet to what it is, he still thinks I’m strict and wishes I would relax it further.
I don’t know, I feel like I’m trying. I try and cook but I’m not great at it, I’m trying to be better. When I do make dinner and it doesn’t come out well, I feel criticized. He will not eat it most times and will tell me how I’ve messed up. Our communication hasn’t been the best. We seem to talk in circles. To him, it’s me saying the same things with no action. It feels like we both want it to work but it’s not happening.
So, do you think I’m crazy or dumb for wanting to make this work? It’s awful because when things are good, it’s so good. But those times are happening less and less.
TL;DR:
My partner and I are struggling with communication issues, differing priorities, and feeling unsupported. He criticizes my efforts and dietary choices, and his job instability adds financial strain. Despite wanting to make it work, his high expectations make it hard for me to meet his standards, and both of us are dealing with emotional and mental health.

• 5-13-2024WHY YOU SHOULD NEVER TAKE NUTRITION ADVICE FROM A CENTENARIAN It’s a cliche of reporting on people who reach 100 years of age, or even 110, to ask them some variation of the question: “What did you do to live this long?” Inevitably, some interesting and unexpected answer is highlighted. Fish and chips every Friday. Drinking a glass of strong liquor every day. Bacon for breakfast every morning. Wine and chocolate. While a popular news story, this is a relatively meaningless question that doesn’t help us understand why certain people have lived so long.
• 5-13-2024JUNK FOOD MARKETING ON VIDEOGAME LIVESTREAMING PLATFORMS INCREASES PURCHASES AND CONSUMPTION AMONG TEENS, STUDY FINDS Food and drink advertisements on videogame livestreaming platforms (VGLSPs) like Twitch are associated with more positive attitudes towards, and purchases and intake of, unhealthy foods that are high in fat, salt and/or sugar (HFSS) like energy drinks among adolescents aged 18 or younger.

• 5-13-2024ENERGY DRINKS CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS HEART ISSUES IN KIDS AND TEENS, HEALTH EXPERTS SAY Hennessy Sepulveda thought she was going to die. “I began dissociating as I was driving. I was 10 minutes away from my house. My vision started warping and the lights were hitting me really bright,” she said. “I felt my chest pounding, I felt a wave of panic hit me—I knew something was wrong.” Sepulveda, a Florida International University student who was 19 at the time, was admitted to the hospital, and was surprised by the cause of her symptoms
• 5-13-2024A BLOOD TEST TO HELP DETECT LUNG CANCER? NEW TEST OFFERED AT 18 LOCATIONS Julie Harris had never been tested for lung cancer. A low-dose CT scan, the only recommended screening for adults at risk of developing lung cancer, was not something she’d ever found time to do. But when her primary care doctor recently suggested a new blood test to help look for signs of the disease, Harris was intrigued. She had her blood drawn the same day, in the same building as her doctor’s appointment.

• 5-13-2024BREAKTHROUGH THERAPIES ARE SAVING LIVES, BUT CAN WE AFFORD THEM? Harnessing the body’s own cells to fight disease, long a medical dream, is finally a reality. Now comes the bill. Last month, Stanford became the first hospital in the nation to use a new $515,000 cell therapy to treat a patient with advanced melanoma. A related approach, costing $420,000 to $475,000, is offering hope to patients with lethal blood cancers. Meanwhile, cells fixed by gene therapy can slow, even stop, the progression of intractable diseases like sickle cell or beta thalassemia—

I guess in a sense I do see friendships as transactional. I have a really good relationship with one of my friends. He was in a coma, in a car accident, and I put myself in his shoes and I’ve really been trying to be there for him. In return he’s become a much better friend to me, he listens to my struggles and we play games together, it’s really awesome. But I guess my worry is that if he were to not be there for me, and was how he used to be (not responding to me for weeks on end, avoiding me completely) I wouldn’t be there for him as much. Is it wrong for me to want someone to care about me like I care about them? I don’t really give him things, I just try to understand what he’s going through and I would hope he does the same for me.
I know he appreciates that I’m doing this for him because he was saying how he feels a lot less alone, and that makes me feel good. Knowing that I can be that person for him makes me really happy.
Also seeing his progress is really inspiring, he is so smart and kind and selfless. I love him so much, he reminds me of myself in a lot of ways but a better version of me
