That is awful.

That it was colon cancer rather than testicular cancer?

Colon cancer isn't as bad a killer, it's about the same as Leukemia in years of life lost.

Expand the OP Black Forrest. Talk about his life, his impact on hollywood, your opinion, etc.

Mine: Fuck this day. Everything about it was horrible. Almost. There's a good twitch stream, so that's something.

Damn...

I had no idea he had colon cancer, that's a true loss.

RIP T'Challa. A simply amazing actor.

Wakanda Forever.

Me either: I only got the alert on my phone like 15 minutes ago. Damn, this sucks. But that's impressive he was able to produce this many movies, especially the likes in the Marvel universe. RIP King.

A truly amazing man and even more amazing actor. Screw cancer. It’s taken too many great people

Well, damn. That’s unfortunate.

What happened to him was very sad, but it was a shit movie, to be honest.

Fuck this year

Truly without a doubt the worst year ever

Never thought I'd be missing 2016. But seriously. Fuck this year.

We've lost too many to this damn wicked year. We need our lizard overlords of this game to revert time to 2015 and issue an apology for this depressing 2020 "COVID-19 Update." We also need a slight nerf on death because he's becoming a little too OP.

Wakanda forever, my fellow NSers. WAKANDA FOREVER!

I was gonna say something like "fuck you, 2020", but I figured "fuck cancer" was more to the point.

Fuck cancer. Boseman was a genuinely positive icon in global pop culture and he deserved a far, far longer life.

Where is The Doctor when you need her?

Apparently he got diagnosed in 2016 but never made it public.

This is shocking to hear... I remember watching the Black Panther movie I quite enjoyed his performance as well his other roles in Civil War and Infinity War.

May he rest in peace.

Truer words have never been spoken, reppy.

As if this year couldn’t get worse.

Probably he didn't either. If it's caught early (by a fecal test or a camera up your bum if you want to be thorough) it has quite good survival rates. If it's only detected when there's visible blood in your stool or you have a persistent pain, it's probably going to kill you.

Diet (red meat, processed meat, alcohol), obesity, smoking, and lack of physical activity ... Wikipedia tells me ... increase the risk.

When I turned 50 (and every 5 years after), a contractor for government sent me a home fecal test to do and mail back in. I did it. The only disturbing part was their recommendation I store the sample tubes in the fridge until I could mail them in. That felt so wrong, poop in the fridge ... but luckily those tests came back negative and I didn't have to endure the greater wrong of having a camera and a sort of toenail clipper inserted half a metre up my rectum!

Jesus Christ.
