The ship’s 21 crew members were safely evacuated and no injuries were reported, according to the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore.

All I care about in the article

you are unlikely to have to right to get an appointment for one.

Again, this is not a universal experience.

Its strange that you just replied saying “you are unlikely to blah blah” to a comment where I said I had to LIE in order to get it scheduled because they were not going to let me have one until I was 50. They were going to let me go on my way for the next 8 years with just a normal breast exam that found nothing. Then they found cancer which was only at stage 1 because I pushed to have my cancer screening done at 42 and not 50.

So nice for you that you don’t have to fight for your healthcare, but some do and its a PITA.

Nice, that is great to hear. I had to lie to the nurse to get scheduled for a mammogram at 42 years old and it ended up being cancer, so definitely YMMV

The most frustrating part of this is if you are under a certain age (at least in the US) its very difficult to get preventative screening. If you are under 40, you have to FIGHT to get a mammogram and usually have a lump you can feel and do an additional appointment before they will scan you. Also good luck getting a colonoscopy before you hit 50, if you are under 40 you have to be actively bleeding out of your ass to get a doc to schedule one.

EDIT: guys you can tell me all day how easy your personal healthcare experiences have been and it doesn’t change the fact that many many people do not have the same easy time getting preventive testing done as you and many times they use your age as the reason. This is relevant because the article is talking about cancer rates raising among YOUNG people. Not the old farts that are over 50.

I did this exactly too, swapped to vaping about 10 years ago and lowered the nic amount to 3mg for years. Finally decided to put it down in 2023, switched to 0 for 2 weeks and quit for ever. I smoked for over 20 years and tried to quit so many times, used everything, gum, mints, patches - vaping was the only thing that helped me. Its a shame that its just the new cigarettes now.

who has tried to avoid politics and taking a side in the Gaza conflict

This is such BS, he did a benefit show for Ukraine, not that they don’t deserve it but that is an inherently political statement. Why is it about these people in Gaza, who are also involved in a war that was started by an oppressor, don’t deserve the same respect.

I had cancer 3 years ago. I will be paying off my treatment costs for the next 10 years, like I will be fully in remission for over 5 years from cancer and still paying off my treatment. So maybe that is why.

I am 1000% sure if this was a Muslim preaching they would find a way to stop it.

She was, crying, screaming out of her throat, even. The horrors.
