I saw earlier today. Thank goodness.

I wonder if the SiIvaGunner team will do anything special in celebration.

<sarcasm mode="on">What are you talking about, 'team'? It is one guy, and he never sleeps or eats, only uploads high quality video game rips</sarcasm>

Anyway, the LazyTown memes were bleh, I don't see why so many people like them. It's only really that grandayy guy and a few others who still carry on this dead 'trend'. And this is coming from a meme hipster who usually only likes memes once there dead...

At age 42, Stefansson, known most notably for playing Robbie Rotten in Lazy Town, notified the Icelandic National Broadcasting Service, that no longer has liver cancer after going through two surgeries.

I know him and dont like this tv showing but I am very happy for him. He did it. Congratulations.

I forgot to mention in my last post, that I'm still happy for him to have survived cancer. I wasn't being mean-hearted or anything, just commenting on the memes themselves.

Cancer is hell no matter who you are. Congrats to him. I hope we find a way to make cancer a thing of the past.

I have read a few sci fi books that mention a few characters getting cancer at one point or another and being treated rather painlessly. Its nice to think that even though the books are fiction, someday we might think about cancer as a minor issue that plagued the 21st century.

If anyone cares, I know one book was the Night's Dawn Trilogy by Peter F. Hamilton, and I think the other was maybe Halo: Evolutions?

Nice optimism you have there bortz, and yeah I hope cancer can be treated more easily and happen much less in the future. :)
Maybe one day we will find a way, even if it takes us many years.

    We all should have free health, dental, vision care, and make the college kids pay for the schooling, f that college forgiveness plan our govt doing now, its really not fair for all others in the past that had to pay for they're schooling anyways (like me, with 2 kids I paid to send to college in the past)

    @Sicklyboy - the comparison would be forgiving all medical debt, not making healthcare illegal!
  • cearp @ cearp:
    Although I still don't agree, medical debt is rarely a choice, whereas enrolling in university is certainly a choice
  • mthrnite @ mthrnite:
    we need more smart cats tho for reals
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    College costs, college loans, book prices, the entire thing is predatory, oft touted as essential to a successful life for my generation and the ones since, and completely unaffordable without putting you through an insane financial hardship for literal decades in many situations.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Many of the same issues can be seen for the insanely predatory healthcare and health insurance system in the US
  • mthrnite @ mthrnite:
    ^this
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    It's important for society to be healthy and educated. If those things can't happen because all of the institutions that prop up those industries make it unattainable for all but a small portion of society, then your society is largely going to be disease ridden, dying, and uneducated in very short order.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Issue is it's too rich of a coperation already with bad sugar diets causing diabetes and killing teeth a new set of teeth around 90k
  • cearp @ cearp:
    I agree it's not easy for the average American, let alone the ones below that average. Free / cheaper healthcare is much more important I think than free university education.
    Of course like @mthrnite said, why not both. But I doubt both will get solved at once, and surely healthcare is top priority.

    If it's needed to keep you healthy it shouldn't cost you $90k. The fact that it does is an enormous problem
