So my friend and I just found out that her mom has cancer. We're not sure how far along it is yet, but either way it's been really hard on her, and I'm doing the best I can to be there for her.
But it's not all bad. News like this has a silver lining, in that it puts a lot of things in perspective and makes you realize all of the good things in your life. Plus this can balance out the rant thread!
I'll start. I'm grateful that I have an awesome family who has always been there for me, even though I haven't always been the greatest son. And I'm grateful that I have a steady job, which allows me to lead a pretty damn comfortable, disease-free life. There are lots of other things, but now we have a whole thread for it!
What are you thankful for ess ee plus plus?

Right?
yeah when it comes down to it I am straight-up ecstatic I still have all my limbs and organs
(sorry to hear bout your friend's mom )
spending cash on stupid shit is seriously way too much fun.
Can't wait until the day i can say that. It's a long and bumpy road, but i will get there.
I'm pretty sure I won't be raising my kids in the USA. I love this country, but there are better ones.
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
Turns out my dad wasn't lying to me when he said it was a slow burn in our gene pool. Definitely keep at it, it is the best feeling.
Speaking of genes in spite the fact that my entire direct family and most of my extended family need to wear glasses in some form, I have perfect vision, so thank you gene roulette.
I'm also grateful for being super cute and adorable and nice and generous, even though I think I'm the worst person and friend on the planet
One last thing I'm grateful for is seeing the new Planet of the Apes film tomorrow

Also, I am super excited for Planet of the Apes. Reviews are excellent so far.
I wouldn't say that I'm happy with how I look, but I don't hate myself anymore. I mean, yeah, there could obviously be improvement (although some stuff I can't do anything about like having a creepy face), but I'm not going to waste time hating on me.
I've had enough people not be completely repulsed by me that I can accept myself for who I am
I'm grateful that 'I need to go grocery shopping because I've spent all day lifting heavy things for fun and self-improvement rather than on a non-subsistence wage to pay for my family's insurmountable medical debt' is a thought that I am able to have.
i am grateful for the lifestyle my father's job/income allow me to have.
i am grateful for all my friends and especially those that i made this past year at school because good lord i was sinking fast into depression before that happened.
i am grateful for my current internship at a company i love, especially for the fact that i got a month-long extension.
i am grateful for this place.
more grateful coming later probably.
I pay like $40 every 6 weeks for my jiggles medication, but when I was on unemployment it was 2 bucks. that was nice.

I'm glad that your jiggles medication isn't much more expensive. I know a lot of odd things cost ridiculous amounts of money, and I can see those potentially falling into that category.
oh yeah totally. But it's also subsidised by our national healthcare so without it it'd probably be like $150 or something.

being a tall white man is pretty much the best thing
