Lounge of Justice - Part 90

[KalvinEllis]

Oh my god. I feel horrible about not even knowing he had cancer. This damn year man. Condolences to Chadwick's family and loved ones.

 

[Predator jp]

just when i thought 2020 couldn't possibly get any worse.

 

[Da-Scribe]

Gutted. Rest in Power, King.

 

[Comicbookguy339]

Just woke up and saw this. Don't know what to say.

RIP

 

[SupermanFan]

I was absolutely shocked by this news, RIP

 

[moviefreak]

I just saw the Chadwick Boseman news. Oh my words. Rest in peace bro.

He was truly a real life fighter and superhero battling stage III colon cancer for 4 years while doing his film works.

My father died of this same cancer at 37, about two years after he was diagnosed. It was ravaging & sudden not helped maybe by the fact that he had a mild form of gigantism that caused him to reach a height of 6' 8'' and having bigger limbs & organs.

Be sure to have your health check & cancer screening. Easpecially colon cancer as it's nearly inoperable. Even if you're in your 20s & 30s.

I wondered why there were no news about Boseman's condition being linked to say a hospital visit? The end stage complications will obviously require some trips to the hospital / clinics. Apparently some people were concerned as far back in June --

2020 isn't done yet...

The NOAA/NASA co-chaired, international panel to forecast Solar Cycle 25 released their latest forecast for Solar Cycle 25. The forecast consensus: a peak in July, 2025 (+/- 8 months), with a smoothed sunspot number (SSN) of 115. The panel agreed that Cycle 25 will be average in intensity and similar to Cycle 24.

Additionally, the panel concurred that solar minimum between Cycles 24 and 25 will occur in April, 2020 (+/- 6 months). If the solar minimum prediction is correct, this would make Solar Cycle 24 the 7th longest on record (11.4 years).

F*** this year to oblivion. Seriously. Just when I think it can't get any worse, it always does.

I'm still reeling from this. This one really hurts. This man is going to be tremendously missed.

 

[KalvinEllis]

The shock was excruciating. You wake up and read something like this, how are you supposed to react. I sat there with my jaw on the floor for 5 minutes until I started processing what I just read. Same with Kobe a while back. Awful year.

Kobe was a daunting one. I cried for weeks. I couldn't imagine that horror. I have a 2 year old precious little girl of my own and when it was known that his daughter was onboard with him along with other families..man. I was wrecked for weeks at a time.

The passing of Boseman made me ill. I'm in a sad: bad mood today.

Dude was a real trooper. Kept doing what he loved until the very end. Even in death he is victorious.

Agreed.

I literally froze when I first saw the headline. Honestly, I'm still having a hard time processing this. It almost feels like a prolonged nightmare that I'm currently experiencing and that I just need to wake up back to reality.

I can only imagine on what his colleagues, friends, and loved ones must be feeling right now. It's probably more worse for those that weren't aware of his condition as well.

Man, I really can't picture anyone looking back at 2020 with fond or good memories. This has literally been the year from hell.

 

[Black Narcissus]

2020 has definitely made me drink and smoke more. Boseman and Kobe within months, just rough man. I know that japanese whiskey is winking her cap at me at the moment. Watched the first two Bill n Ted flicks for dumb cheese escapism. Wonderful 80s/90s cheese right there.

Earlier this year, around the time Kobe died, I heard people all over the place saying, "Man, 2020 sucks." I heard that quite a bit and I never understood that concept, that a whole year can suck, especially since the year just started. I get a year sucking for a person if they have personal things going on, but in general, a whole year?

But then we got the pandemic, but I was still on the fence about whether a whole year could be cursed.

Then UFO pictures dropped and murder hornets were terrorizing Washington, and I have to admit, I was starting to think differently. Then protests in literally all 50 states as well as in other countries and on and on and on.

I came around. 2020 is unlike any other year in our lifetime.

It's at the point where I've begun feeling numb to bad news. A family friend passed this week, Chadwick Boseman, and Cliff Robinson (NBA)... Some of these events in and of themselves can be just random events happening, but all of it, within a single 8 month period? And we are still in the woods. It's crazy.

 

[kguillou]

I think at the beginning of this year we all felt like 2020 was going to be a fresh start. A fresh beginning going into a brand new decade-- new era. We were leaving the negative energies of the past decade behind. Then within days of celebrating the new year, we are all of a sudden breaths away from entering a World War, we lose Kobe Bryant and his daughter in a freak accident, and of course, a virus breaks out that has completely upended the entire planet's way of life...probably forever. And that was only in the first two months of this year.

 

[heatvision38]

I do tend to look at things from a different perspective though. I'm one to believe things don't happen by mistake, no matter how painful. It does feel like as a country (US) and as a planet, we are in some sort of flashpoint period in our history. This is going to be a time that will have countless books written on it in the future. What's hard to get a sense of though is how wide that will be. Will it be 2020? Will it be a 5 year period? It's hard to know what means what until there's the benefit of distance. But we are all at a pivotal moment where we are all being challenged to define ourselves, deciding what's important to us and why. From that wider perspective, I do find all this fascinating, as painful as it can be. Often times the most painful times in our lives also lead to the most change.

Well, to quote one of our favorite characters.

Also, had to buy the weller bottle, seeing one on the shelf is like having the wino gods smile on you (at least in my area). Tis' was the only bottle left too.

 

[chintai80]

it's still hard to wrap my head around this and i still don't want to believe any of this is real.

as others have probably already said, boseman paved the way for representation in these huge tentpole pictures.

and to know he was going through surgeries and chemo in between all these performances...the man was operating in beast mode for the last few years of his life.

and it feels like the loss of chadwick to the black community is like to the chinese community when bruce lee passed away.

iconic performances that brought pride and a voice for a people.
and then gone before their time.
we will speak of this for years to come.
a legend.
