I went to the urologist today. I felt the pain last Friday. He asked me to have an ultrasound to be sure if it's indeed a testicular torsion (honestly I hope it is, since the alternatives seem to be even worse), and told me that it could lead to me losing a ball. Yeah it sounded horrible. :p
A friend of mine had a testicle removed a few months due to testicular cancer, but my balls seem pretty okay, no lumps or anything. But that pain... second time in my life I fainted.

Sounds horrible, but at least, as Dany says, it's treatable.

Can you get a fake one put in, if you wish?

I haven't dyed it before, nah. I think my camera darkens blacks, though.
Must have been my imagination. I know Lucario has, but I thought an older photo of you showed blond hair.
Anyway, blue might suit you, but you look great!

I've dabbled a bit with photography and is getting closer to buying some proper gear. It really sucks you all live so far away from me because I'd love to take some portraits :p
That and do not look at camera prices if you value your wallet. I wanted the 2000 dollar A7 because it was great value...

Thanks! I've actually been thinking of dying it purple, to be honest. Lucario just recently dyed his purple though, so I figure it would be weird if we both had purple hair.
 
[edit to clarify it isn't queer-related abuse]

I wrote here two weeks ago about an abusive bus driver, and I made a complaint to the company the next day. I hadn't seen this same bus driver since then (seeing her was a concern I have had), then today the bus went straight past the stop I was waiting at. I am not completely sure or 80% sure that the driver was the one I made the complaint about, as the windows were a bit dark, but it is quite possible.

It seems I may have been denied service because of a complaint I made. I am thinking about calling up the company and saying if the driver of this route at this time was the driver of that route at that time there should be consequences. But this would escalate it to a much higher level. And it's too easy to say 'oh I didn't see him' or 'it wasn't safe to stop' or something also. :(

Don't let your rights on public transportation be trampled on. Make a complaint, if it was the same driver there should be consequences for them if they act so inappropriate as a reaction to your first complaint.

You should still make a complaint tbh. At least figure out who it was.
 
Dreams are weird. Lately I've been having more continuity of awareness during sleep, it's strange how much the 'stage' changes, and how much stuff is liminal or between sleep and waking.

Man, this Disney channel showing of ParaNorman is butchering it. Censoring everything.

"Jackass", "Swear!" "...You mean like the F-word?", and strangely, "mental case" have all been censored. Bet they'll censor the
line in which Mitch mentions his boyfriend
, too.

Why are they cutting out that part? The swearing (but not "mental case") I can understand (if it's during daytime) but why that scene? ( It's ironic actually, when you consider what the films message is. The movie about being who you are can't be what it is).

'Mental case' stigmatises people with mental illness.

Thanks for the replies regarding the bus, I will probably contact them.
Ah, okay. I understand now why they didn't want to leave it in. Though, you know, the word is not really promoted in the movie as a "good" thing to call people. I'll just say that so as to not spoil something about ParaNorman here.

Hopefully that works out and the problem gets resolved, possibly without firing anyone. :)

They only censored the "mental" part for some reason.
It's still a father calling his own son a "case".

All mentions of "Hell" and even the word "sucks" (really?) were censored. The
zombie getting hit by the van was also toned down, and they cut out Neil freeze-framing the workout DVD
. "Sex", "boobs", and even "damnation" have all been kept, though.

Edit: As a final tally. "Geekwad" (unless I'm misremembering that line) was censored (what?!),
zombie getting shot
was censored,
"they killed her" was removed from Norman's story at the end, even though all other references to Agatha's hanging were kept
, and the
boyfriend line
was...
not censored!
Removing all of ParaNorman's dirty language just really ruins a lot of the scenes; it's supposed to have an adult edge to it, and a good part of the jokes are left without punchlines. Oh, well. Should just buy the DVD at this point - even without that airing I've seen it like five times. Amazing movie, for anyone interested.

And the part at the end was cut, really? That small scene that meant so much to the the director and writer of the movie. Makes me sad that people could see the disfigured version. :(

Edit: Wait, it wasn't censored/cut? Okay. Now you got me confused.

Never said it was. My original post said I bet it would be. I was wonderfully wrong.

Argh, misread it.

Still a terrible thing to do to a work of art to censor parts of it.

Modifying works of art to appeal to overly-prudish sensibilities and therefore feeding and justifying said sensibilities is the American way~

At least
gay people
are now okay in those sensibilities. Just as long as children's ears don't have to hear the word... "sucks". What do they think this is, a PG movie? Wait...
 
People probably have fewer scruples about changing works intended for kids, if they even regard it as art in the first place. Which is unfortunate. Maybe it's some parents having a bee in their bonnets about how their special little angels are culturally indoctrinated, or it's a weird kind of utilitiarianism like just something to keep them distracted whie parked in front of a screen, or some more baffling mix of the two. I often get the impression that people fixated on stuff tend to see their kids as extensions of themselves (like if they raise rude kids, it reflects primarily on them), which kind of explains why they may readily shift the blame to media or whatever, too. Their reasons aren't in the most sensible order.

Can't believe I missed this, but as a testicular cancer survivor, you'll be fine if that ends up as your diagnosis. Catching it early is important.

Losing a testicle doesn't compare to what you would have to go through if left untreated. Plus, everything still works correctly even with one.

I want this one:

I don't think I'm buying many more, to be honest (who am I kidding, I want Mega Man, Pac-Man, Ike, Robin, Dr. Mario, Kirby, Dedede, Jiggs and Pikachu).
