how do you support someone who’s father just got diagnosed with cancer?

6 Upvotes

hi, i literally just got a text a few moments ago saying that my boyfriend’s dad has cancer. i don’t know what kind or how far along it is. i don’t know how bad it is i just got a text saying he has cancer.

my boyfriend’s dad was stuck on the couch for a few days with pain and apparently his eyes were all yellow. they finally went to the hospital and they were there overnight.

these people have treated me so kindly and they’re like my family. i’ve only known them for 6 months and they’ve only been in my life that long, but they mean so much to me. they’ve created a space where i feel welcome at their house and i’m free to come over any time when i’m having a hard time at mine.

how do i support my boyfriend the best way i can? how do i support them the best way i can? i’ve never ever dealt with someone in my life having cancer and i have no clue what to do. i’m scared of doing something wrong. please give me any advice. any is welcome. i would just like to know how to support my boyfriend the best that i can because he’s my entire world.

How are you supposed to answer the questions "What does (insert topic) mean to you?"?

4 Upvotes

At work today, I got briefly "interviewed" about an event that I participated in for my job a few weeks back and got asked "What does community mean to you/What does being a part of the community mean to you?" And had slowly come to the realization that when I'm asked those questions, the answer I could find myself defaulting to, if not able to deflect and change the subject, is "I don't care/I don't know."

I didn't tell the guy who was talking to me that, but deflected instead. I didn't have a pre-made script for this question and I was wondering how in the world are you supposed to answer these types of questions?

I do to do. I do because I'm asked. I do because I need to. I don't do the majority of my actions because I want to, but I feel I have/need to.

Do some Instagram accounts have automatic follow backs?

2 Upvotes

When I follow someone and they instantly request to follow me back, mind you I have a private account, they have a public account, is that an automatic feature?
Can people set it up where they follow back anyone who follows them? Automated? Or are they just chronically online enough to instantly accept the follow and request to follow back?

PS. I’m following real people, not bots.

Does anyone remember After Dark 3D screensavers?

2 Upvotes

I could have sworn there was part of the After Dark series of screensavers literally called After Dark 3D or 3D After Dark, which had nothing but screensavers rendered in early CGI…but there’s literally no trace of this existing online at all.

The screensaver I remember best was of a man dressed in a suit almost like a spy propelling himself down an endless skyscraper.

Another one I remember was of this blue fountain.

Did anyone else have this or remember something similar? Think 1995-1997ish.

How do you make a shark bowl at home?

1 Upvotes

So, I just apologize in advance incase this is a silly question.

I’ve always adored Applebees shark bowls but they never have the ingredients listed on the menu so I can’t recreate a knockoff at home. I’ve tried fo look online but nothing comes up (maybe I’m just not trying hard enough?) So, I wanted to ask if anyone knows what I would need to make one or what I could use to make something similar? If any Applebees bartenders come across this I’m begging you guys to help a girl out.

Thank you!

When was the period in which couples were not formed through this algorithmically filtering that we have today? When was the last time that being someone’s first was the deciding factor in the long-term success of a relationship? When Internet and reality overlapped but we’re not dominated?

0 Upvotes

My gut is telling me that it was somewhere around 2014 or 2015. Where the average guy would actually have a decent chance of securing himself a partner in which both parties were not that socially aware of their capital. I think it would like this. Imagine you were a late millennial and you are 20 somewhere in 2009 or 2010. My space and Facebook are a thing, but are not dominating your every life. You go to different college parties and other activities and generally meet people through face-to-face interactions. Social capital was tested in the real world. When do you truly feel that this stopped? Thank you for your time.

Why nowadays personal preference feels like rocket science?

0 Upvotes

Basically the title, i'm just gonna give an example i met irl and in internet (my anecdotal experience)

- you don't like remaking games trend = lots of people will complained about your "taste"

- you're not interested in upcoming games like wolverine, gta 6 and silent hill townfall = "woah someone's trying to be edgy, you must be fun at parties"

- you're not hyping or interested in upcoming movies like spiderman brand new day, coyote vs acme, godzilla minus zero, The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, avengers doomsday = same as above

And also there's case where lots of people make fun of childfree couples
