BTW they are illegal in Pennsylvania but it's not really enforced.

Yeah, they're not gonna hunt you down if you own one. But if you're a retard and order it from somewhere really obvious to get it shipped to you, rather than working through connections and collectors, you run the risk of the PA government trying to fine you big for getting the shit delivered.

In PA, you can only get liquor from state-run liquor stores. When the pandemic began, they were basically just closed for a good few weeks to a month or two, period. You could try to 'order online' to pick them up, but it was run like shit and barely functioned at all. I remember buying some Gin right as the pandemic was starting up and saw a woman with like 20 handles in a cart, thought she was nutty - turns out she was right. I bring this up because people started buying booze from other states, like Ohio, where the state didn't run and subsequently shut everything down. A good number of people were fined hefty amounts if they were braindead enough to get liquor shipped in, despite the fact that this might seem like the most mundane thing in the world to anyone living in any other states.

So if Lou were to try to buy something edgy like a butterfly knife, rather than just talking about the vaccine, the 'government fine' begging arc could've been a saga.

Lou continues to rant about the lesbian school bus driver with a lizard being a different lesbian schoolbus driver with a lizard instead of a redesign of the original school bus driver with a lizard as if the intricacies of lizard bearing lesbian school bus driver characters are as serious as politics

Edit:
Lou also continues to rant about their stimulus check still not arriving and getting pissy with the IRS while brushing over the fact that he's apparently getting a $600 refund on their return because he refuses to be satisfied.

New begging post, retweeted by Nitro, that Undertale guy, and a bot that's tied to the MutualAid hashtag

They're kinda hoping people don't notice the whole, y'know, tweet telling people they spent $35 of the money meant for needs. They're slowly starting to become more and more frequent with their habits like on their old account

"Applied for disability" again. Grifters gonna grift, but I wonder at it, too.

Lou has close contact with someone on dialysis (nephew's bio-dad?) from uncontrolled diabetes, he looks at that and says "oh, and so then you don't have to work? Cool!" and just... straps himself in to wait for it.

End-stage renal failure is awful. The slow build-up of toxins, and not hippie "toxins," real your-body-cannot-excrete toxins. You can see it in the skin; there's a dryness and a texture change, and it itches. Headache, foggy thinking, lethargy. The time-sink of hemodialysis, and how cold you get having literally all your blood cycled through a machine, how tired with the temporary drop in blood pressure. The oral fluid restriction between dialysis cycles, and if you flout it because you don't believe or you can't take the thirst and dryness, there's nowhere for it to go but your legs and your lungs. I'm amazed that Lou is looking at this slow living death and just accepting it, and moving on to what fetish art he wants to throw money at.

He talks easily about how, rather than control his diabetes, he needs to buy devices with large screens for when he gets retinopathy. Strange that he isn't also doing his research now for whether he's going to want outpatient hemodialysis or home peritoneal dialysis--lots of supplies to price-check, after all. Or checking how much spironolactone he'll be able to take for his "transition" (which is when, now?) vs. his kidneys failing and his potassium rising.

Anyway, if someone let me choose which sequelae he got first, I'd pick erectile dysfunction and gastroparesis, since he already can't feel his feet. Immobility won't change his lifestyle one bit, but cut off the 'bating and the spaghetti pipeline, well.

PLEASE let him try peritoneal dialysis!

You have to be so careful about keeping everything sterile because the least contamination can lead to extended hospital visits. With his definition of "clean" I wouldn't expect him to survive a year.

Spoiler: Power Level; but relevant

I knew someone who dealt with peritoneal dialysis for a decade, following complete renal failure. Even the slightest chance they may have contaminated their catheter meant dropping everything to run to the ER. And in the end, it was that dialysis port that eventually caused their painful death.

We never found out what specific bacterium was growing in his foot hole, did we?

Oh, well; I'm sure it's a nonissue. I trust Lou to wash his hands well between dressing changes and setting up his PD cath, and to keep the area clean. Maintaining giant containers of sugar-water in his room is his forte, after all.

(Brief outline of peritoneal dialysis, for the interested. "Children and people with certain handicaps, such as learning disabilities, blindness and amputations, have been taught to successfully perform PD.")

Real talk, if Lou's ~diabetes journey~ does go the renal route, he's got such an external locus of control that his doctor would pretty much pick hemodialysis for him. Dude is not a self-starter. We'd get whining about the transport van and the timing of appointments that someone else set up, and, if we were very lucky, a sir-uh-ma'am-anyway-please-no-hyperinflation-porn-at-the-dialysis-center saga.

Probably staph. It's almost always staph. Hopefully it wasn't the MRSA variant.

Also: Spread of S. aureus (including MRSA) generally is through human-to-human contact, although recently some veterinarians have discovered the infection can be spread through pets, with environmental contamination thought to play a relatively less important part. Emphasis on basic hand washing techniques are, therefore, effective in preventing its transmission.

I'd post the pic of him sticking his finger in the hole for emphasis, but I really don't want to see it again.

Forgot to catch this one from their Mastodon. I guess that artist never responded to their FA note.

If it wasn't MRSA, it'll be MRSA after enough go-rounds on the antibiotic merry-go-round. Good for Lou's stated goals; Bactrim will help nuke his kidneys faster!

I'm just amazed that someone can look around the wreckage that is his life, his body, and even just his immediate surroundings, and think: yep, the big problem here is that I'm really a woman.

 

[SIGSEGV]

If I'm not mistaken, MRSA also stays with you for life. If Lou gets an MRSA infection, his poor hygiene means he'll be getting many more of them. Protip: it's not fun, and the abscesses that can form need to be cut open and drained. The real question is whether Lou will use the abscesses as a grifting opportunity ("I need to go to urgent care for an I&D, pls give $500 for bus fare thanks") or just let them fester like he did with the hole in his foot.

The oral fluid restriction between dialysis cycles

Are you saying he'd have to dial back his sucking off boozy?

That was an intelligent move on their part making them a 'smartist'. I'll see my way out.

Lou whined so much about the wound vac. I can't wait for the MRSA saga, and the periods of stuffing those abscesses with coils or foam so the skin doesn't collapse. Given his hygiene, it'll be a months-long saga.

 

[Aunt Carol]

A MRSA carrier can be decolonized with adherence to a regime of prescription disinfectants, nasal ointment/sanitizer, cleaning their environment and regular hygiene...

...Yeah, he'll have it for life.

So I take time off the internet to focus on irl stuff and when I come back I find Lou in an even worse shape. Not surprised tho.

What is with the strong correlation of fat dykes and fat weirdos and their hyper fixation for children cartoons when they are """adults"""? Not cartoons for adults, but children cartoons and the vast majority are children less. My Little Pony, She-Ra, Magic School Bus etc. Is it trying to live a 2nd childhood or are they that mentally stunted they cannot grasp anything but the baseline simplicities of children shows?

Infantilism. These fat dykes and fat weirdos are almost always woman- and manchildren.
