Why can't the current president get aggressive cancer? Everyone would love that (although I would pity the cancer).

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 5 points 23 hours ago

What if he is already a malignant tumor?

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 2 points 19 hours ago

with the amount of preservatives he got from eating mcdonalds, its probably very difficult for him to get it.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 1 day ago

I'd feel sorry for the cancer

I guess I wasn't thinking joe biden shouldn't have cancer just that donald trump definitely should.

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 10 points 1 day ago

In fascist America, cancer gets Trump!

I've largely come to believe that bad things don't happen to evil people

[–] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They do, you just have to facilitate the happening.

Something something of the deed

This here. There is no karma and if there is it's opposite

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The original concept of karma has you receiving both punishment and reward for every bit of both good and bad karma from your past lives. Nothing you do in your current life is dealt with until your next incarnation.

[–] Goodmorningsunshine@lemmy.world 6 points 12 hours ago

All the evil scumbags must have been really good people in their last lives, then, since they do nothing but get rewarded in this one

[–] madcaesar@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

Never pity cancer. Fuck cancer.

The rest of your statement holds!

[–] steeznson@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Cancer is an umbrella term for a huge variety of diseases and once you reach a certain age you're likely to have at least one of them. It's just not worth treating if you are in your 80s/90s.

I kind of think the "fuck cancer" online discourse is a bit misguided since it's the price we pay to have regenerating cells.

Homie is really out here playing devil's advocate on behalf of cancer.

[–] Ebber@lemmings.world 4 points 15 hours ago

What was it Norm MacDonald said? Either you win against cancer or it's a tie, because you always take the cancer down with you. So cancer is really the underdog here.

[–] steeznson@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago

Might be a side effect of being raised by an oncologist

"Fuck yeah! cancer."

[–] neons@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago

Goven that cancer is just your own body, you don't need to pity the cancer, as the cancer is also trump 🤓🤓

[–] drmoose@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

He probably will and we'll have a big ol' party!
