It will always be Burma to me.

I read from someone claiming to be in nursing that it's likely just bruising because he's old and has had a cannula/IV so its pretty common. Unfortunately he has great access to health care but he's a fucking moron who eats mostly fast food so here's hoping

[–] Quokka@quokk.au 57 points 3 weeks ago (5 children)

Knowing our luck all the preservatives he's eating from the fast food will make him immortal.

[–] Carvex@lemmy.world 19 points 3 weeks ago

We should place him next to Liz Truss’s cabbage and see which withers first

[–] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 16 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Honestly, we shit on him for what he eats, but he's almost 80 and still going, so i dont think it's working very well. He already had an entire life that was longer than most people, sadly.

Turns out it was money the whole time!

I knew exactly what this link was before clicking on it.

[–] LadyMeow@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 weeks ago

Lmao nailed it!

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

it's working on me. i had a group of "friends" running a betting pool on when i would die that stopped being my friends when i outlived all their bets and asked to collect.

granted it was pie and not fast food, but hey still here.

Being close to this all the time: yeah that's what it looks like to me too.

Well besides healthcare there is also a small bit of reduced stress. He probably praises himself internally.

"I never had to stress about paying my bills or working manual labor jobs my entire life so I physically age slower than 99% of the population and my back stays unhurt until age of 60."

[–] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 20 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I doubt he’ll have the grace to do it with any speed, but this and the talk about getting into heaven and Vance being ready to take over sure are suggestive.

[–] TipRing@lemmy.world 25 points 3 weeks ago

Typically, the VP doesn't publicly talk about taking over for the President unless the possibility is significant, but this administration lacks anything approaching message discipline so who knows.

Blood thinners and other potential medical conditions + thinning aging skin can lead to easy bruising. Around the hands and bonier areas (joints, shins, areas of less cushion) commonly bruise like this just from bumping into a hard surface.

I work with a hospice patient with liver cancer. Over the last couple months she's been developing bruises/purpura all over her body, some on the tops of her thighs just from resting a tray on her lap.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

i was really worried my health was going that direction with the bruising coming out of nowhere, until one night i couldn't sleep and my cat pounced off the seven foot something bookshelf directly onto my lap (barely missed my jibblies) and then directly to the window. apparently he likes it when i make this sound?

[–] tomiant@programming.dev 15 points 3 weeks ago

Motherfucker is starting to ooze out the evil through his skin

[–] Hermit_Lailoken@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I wonder if he is on blood thinners?

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago

His platelets just hate him

[–] Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Cirrhosis. The orange finally makes sense

[–] miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 3 weeks ago

The bigliest liver failure: no alcohol needed.

[–] TheEighthDoctor@lemmy.zip 9 points 3 weeks ago

He has the Marvolo ring now? Motherfucker is going to resurrect Regan with the stone.

[–] einlander@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

He gets darker and blacker, and darker and blacker.

[–] ABetterTomorrow@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 weeks ago

Deport him!

[–] Furbag@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

He's got Reverse Vitiligo. Just like 'ol Uncle Ruckuss.

[–] MourningDove@lemmy.zip 6 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

Seriously though, what condition causes this?

[–] if_only@sh.itjust.works 21 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

That's just an iv bruise. Could be anything.

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

I got one kind of like that from just a botched blood draw for a physical. Not older or anything and only happened once (and it hurt for a few days), but hasn't since. It was higher up but I know people that do those from their hands.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago

The infestation is beginning to leak.

[–] runner_g@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 3 weeks ago

Thin skin bruises easily.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 10 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

That's what happens when you're soul has decayed so far past dead that the necrotic void that has replaced it has expanded to the point of physiological manifestation. Once the saturation hits 100% he'll collapse into a micro-singularity and near instantaneously evaporate. The resulting radiation burst will be enough to give 1st degree burns to anyone standing within 10 meters.

[–] unwarlikeExtortion@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

within 10 meters.

Is that 15 football fields?

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

Or 27 half giraffes, but yes.

I saw one the other day where they measured something in Elmo's. Wtf? I don't have any idea how big Elmo is irl

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Looks like a green nurse tried to find a vein

If you squint your eyes, it looks like Epstein's face
