Mental health discussions have grown so much in recent years, and it’s great to see more people opening up about conditions like DID. Understanding it better can really help reduce stigma and promote empathy toward those living with dissociative experiences. Everyone deserves compassion and awareness when it comes to their mental health journey.

chug commented on the word cadastral
Is there a github or other source control system where I can post a correction pull request for the description of cadastral?
Specifically, the description states:
adjective a survey, map, or plan on a large scale (Usually 1/2500 of the linear measure of the ground, or twenty-five inches to the mile or about an inch to the acre)
The an inch to the acre part makes no sense. The correction is to state a square inch to the acre

vendingmachine commented on the word octotype test
The Oncotype DX test is a genomic test used to assess the risk of recurrence in early-stage, hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. It helps doctors determine whether chemotherapy is necessary in addition to hormone therapy.
How it works:
A small sample of breast tumor tissue is collected.
The tissue is analyzed for the activity of 21 genes related to cancer recurrence.
The test generates a Recurrence Score between 0 and 100.
Interpretation of Results:
Low recurrence score (0-15): Indicates a low risk of recurrence and chemotherapy is unlikely to be beneficial.
Intermediate recurrence score (16-25): Indicates a moderate risk of recurrence. Chemotherapy may be considered, but the decision depends on other factors.
High recurrence score (26-100): Indicates a high risk of recurrence and chemotherapy is likely to be beneficial.
Benefits:
Helps personalize treatment decisions based on individual risk.
Reduces unnecessary chemotherapy in patients with low risk of recurrence.
Provides reassurance to patients with high risk who may benefit from chemotherapy.
Limitations:
Not suitable for all patients with breast cancer, such as those with HER2-positive or triple-negative breast cancer.
The test is not a guarantee of treatment outcome.
The results should be interpreted in conjunction with other patient factors, such as age, overall health, and preferences.
(I am currently awaiting my octotype score. I had a lumpectomy to remove a cancerous mass on October 1, 2025.)

vendingmachine commented on the word kokua
"Kokua" means "help" or "assistance" in Hawaiian and is written on trash cans in Hawaii to encourage community members and visitors to help keep public areas clean by using the trash receptacles provided. It does not mean TRASH. Kokua embodies the spirit of mutual cooperation and community responsibility, reflecting the deeper meaning of selfless assistance and care for the collective well-being of a community.

vendingmachine commented on the word kokua aku, kokua mai
