As much as I would love to complain about the healthcare systems, this looks more like some condition that he had for a month or two and didn't appreciate the severity. Based on the fact he complained about the cost, but never brought up not being able to afford it, its unknown if he didn't seek treatment earlier because he didn't know that he needed to, or that he couldn't afford it. Biopsies and specialists take time unless you are actively dying, and when he was seeking treatment, that did not seem to be the case. This is true anywhere. Unfortunately he ran out of time, ~~pneumonia~~ Lung issues ~~is~~ are no joke and there isn't really anything you can do about it until you know whats causing it, even then, sometimes there is nothing that can be done. There is another discussion at !chat@yiffit.net

Edit: made an edit above, additional thoughts below
I will put suffocating because of coughing towards the top of the list of horrible ways to die.
Looking back through posts, I still don't know if he didn't seek help months ago because of cost or need. If it was cost, that sucks. I'm not a doctor, but looking into the two options presented, neither had a positive outlook. Based on posts indicating long covid and a recurrence of shingles, I will put him in the immunocompromised category. Whether cancer or fungus, prognosis on both is poor.
Is the healthcare system in the US too expensive, yes, no question. Its full of perverse profit incentives at every level and inelastic demand with near monopolistic supply. Did it make a difference here, I don't know, but I don't think it forms the basis for a compelling argument or complaint. If the biopsy came back and he couldn't afford treatment, this would be different.

His life ended in an unpleasant way I would not wish on anybody. May his contributions not be forgotten.

Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated.

As it looked around it realized its been much longer than it thought since it last existed on this plane or reality.

That was just Lemmy/browser being dumb with refresh.

Somewhere deep in the woods where the river takes a bend, magic was brewing that was about to change the world.

OPs instance is de-federated from mine, so I don't think they will see this comment or any reply.

Tom Scott has some really creative fictional videos Single Point of Failure: The (Fictional) Day Google Forgot To Check Passwords Is another great one, and its not part of the from a future playlist. I think its interesting it was reasonable enough he had to add Fictional to that title.

I can't say I know timelines, I will agree the latex style of Tunchbull definitely looks like Kemono Inukai. The only gallery I know of that Trunchbull still has up is https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/13619866 They purged everything else.

I will second Reflective desire is great for everyone who likes shiny latex and BDSM. If you like rubber tf, HelixJack is great. That latex style isn't their usual style, Trunchbull had a way with drawing this style of latex. They deleted most of their galleries, here is an example. also !shinyyiff@yiffit.net

People... That could be a problem, there are a lot of them.

I just don't make an effort to move farther over.

Pavement is one of the more interesting words for British vs American English. British pavement == American sidewalk. In American English, I don't see pavement in common use, but its more of the general material that a road is made out of, or maybe hard surface, when not specifying a specific. "They just put some new pavement down". Anyway, I just think its one of the more interesting (and potentially confusing) British to American translations.

My slow pace is still faster than slow walkers.

Where I am, the scooters are not supposed to be on normal sidewalks, and seem annoyed your using the sidewalk.

IF YOU USED YOUR SIGNAL WE WOULD HAVE BOTH GONE FASTER!

The left lane is for passing, I really don't care how fast or slow you are going, if your not passing somebody GET OVER!

anyway, you might have struck a few nerves.

For a bit the stuff inside will keep the COG low enough that its somewhat stable, but at some point it just stops being worth it. It also seems to last forever.
