If the GME stock market phenomena has taught me anything its thats theres no invisible hand or free market, its a bunch of rich global elites who deal in misinformation to tank businesses in their favour.
So the CCP won't let me be or let me be me so let me see, they tried to shut me down on CBC but it feels so empty without me.

Yup. The house tried to bluff the table and they got called on it. Now everybody else in the casino is starting to realize what their dealer looks like when they're trying to bluff and its exposing all the dirty and illegal tricks Hedgefunds and other market makers do to get you to fold.

You planning to break my kneecaps?

Not a word of a lie, as a kid I actually did want to become a bellhop for a longer period of time then I should have. It seemed like fun, I thought the uniform looked cool, and it looked like a job that'd mean you would be interacting with all the famous people in the big cities like Jozi. What could seem cooler to a 7 year old?

I didn't know what a Mets was when I was 7. I was under the impression only Americans and Russians could go to space so that was out of the picture.

I think when I was 7 I wanted to be an astronaut or an astronomer. Or a veterinarian. Or maybe an artist. Possibly a superhero, spy, or detective. I changed future careers like once a week in elementary school.

Incidentally, leukemia popped up as one of the search results when I made the mistake of googling my symptoms. Which just made the stomach pain that much worse because I started getting anxious even though I’m 99% certain it’s not leukemia.

Oof what kind of surgery?

Oddly enough, considering the conversation after I left the building... gallbladder (though, what with the pandemic, I've been left 15 months now and, given that some complications have popped up -- hence not wanting to make a joke about the uber-complication -- there's a chance my surgery may be open).

Though, if it turns out to be that for you Xmara, and it's caught early and treated early, there's no reason why it shouldn't be perfectly routine.

This is more meant as reassurance than an attempt to play diagnostics, but I also recall having had stomach pain which can be referred as you describe, for which the course of treatment was medication.
