This is something to take up with your medical professionals.
Health care systems vary, but hereabouts you’d have ongoing contact with a therapist, have scheduled follow-ups with surgeons and other doctors responsible for your surgery, and a legal mandate to be informed (beforehand) on your options in case of regrets.
I have no idea what you think an online community can do for you about this — Talk to the health care providers who got you this far.
The conventional answer is that there would be much less incentive to fund new ones.
Some things need a large investment to start: power plants, cities, factories, space stations, etc. Sometimes more money than the people involved can afford, and you need to ask someone to front the money, they typically get paid with a share of the profits.
Just goes to show how much the FIFA peace prize is worth!
Lol, you know this is an example of abuser language?
It’s entirely reasonable to expect someone to hold themselves accountable to sort their own shit (and/or ask for help) while respecting the people around them.
Toddlers get away with having tantrums because they aren’t matured yet. We expect better from about the age of 7…
Delayed due to ICE and/or protests, or maybe they’re out trying to drum up a bribe inb4 being sued by the satsuma in charge.

General strike, demonstrations where they can’t be ignored, organised resistance, organised campaigning, even striking in solidarity with others.
Oh. You’re all struggling too much to be able to do that?
That’s you being oppressed, and you could organise against that: you could organise war chests for striking, unionise to regain rights, vote or campaign for actual peoples representation rather than corporate such, build resilient communities, picket biased media, organise or join collective action, prosecute and pressure corrupt politicians, counter lobbies, educating yourself and others, etc.
Gather neighbours, save funds, support eachother, resist where you can and coordinate with others to have a greater impact.
But most aren’t going to, cus there’s always someone else to blame, someone else that should save the day. And while you’re passing blame, the fascists consolidate, divide and terrorise, both your domestic neighbours and international friends. Leaving you more vulnerable, more isolated, and with less and less support to resist or survive.
Isn’t the immediate conclusion that recycling a 1%er is a much more efficient use of your time (and the earth’s resources)?
Although the 12 hours aren’t divided in day/night are they?
And depending on where/when you’re at, it can easily be light out at seven and seven, even in the same day.
What the 12 hour clock does well is to track when the sun goes up or down relative to the only convenient time marker: midday. It also does so in a pleasingly symmetrical way: it gets light and dark at about 8, rather than 4 hours before and 8 hours after midday.
I’d argue if you want to track time, rather than record the ends of daylight, a linear scale for the whole day makes more sense. If it should be reset daily or not, be divisible by 24, 86400, 100, 1000000, a second or whatever is mostly a choice of convention. If you have constant access to a clock, Internet time seems convenient, for humans without clocks we use daylight and units like hours and 5-minute increments.
For that the 24 hour clock seems simple and convenient, although it would be nice to be able to calibrate without a watch (is it two or three hours before midday? How many more hours until wake-up time?). 24 hour time isn’t perfect, but it’s much better adapted to modern life than the 12 hour clock.

I do hope you really learnt this lesson, as you have nothing until a customer finds the promise of your solution worthwhile enough to pay for it.
And even then, you still might not have a viable business. You’ll still have to figure out how to keep getting enough people paying to fund the next/replacement product.
From my own experience: stay as a side hustle as long as you can, but not so long that it keeps you from scaling.
Keeping it as a side hustle eases money worries, pushes forward a lot of the business woes, and actually forces you to be very effective with your time.
When you eventually do go full time, you will need to build up discipline and systems to get up to 60 % production capacity, a lot of time is swallowed by admin, sales, invoicing, marketing, support, etc. And it needs to be done if the business is to scale.
I’d also urge you to consider pacing yourself, working 60+ hours/week is doable for a period of time, but the admin don’t stop coming when you’re tired, overwhelmed and/or burnt out, and no-one will be able to save your business then.
Science says for knowledge work 3-4 hours/day about 4-5 days/week to not get compounding risk of errors or injury. For manual labor that limit is about 30-32 hours/week including prepping your work.
Both assuming at least 2 weeks vacation and extra time off for injury and illness.
I just read Rest by Alex Soojung-Kim Pang on the topic.
The rain makes it look like the air domain is trying to join the water world, the fish are just offering a hand for the transition, they’re trying to help, and there you are, taking advantage of their kindness. Ripping the fish from home, life and family, to suffocate in terror, or hope for a quick strike to the neck and the eternal quiet beyond.
