I'm just south of Socorro NM and Quuensryche is loud and clear on the FM dial.

Yeah, No, Definitely.
I know this is probably dumb to ask a guitar forum about this, but I woke up a few months ago and noticed this on my face. Scrolling through all my selfies, looks like this first appeared about 8 months ago and has progressively gotten blacker and bigger.
It's flush to my skin and painless. No insurance and already racking up bills for other medical shit. Any nurses or docs on here?

^There's a criteria set that I think is called the ABC's of skin cancer which detail some things to look for related to color, shape and size that might be helpful.
But hey, the cost of a dermie visit out-of-pocket sucks but might be worth the peace of mind.

Probably not ever advisable to DYI a Canser diagnosis, so see if you can find a GP who might work with your budget.
The ABCDE checklist, though, is:
A - Asymmetrical? Normal moles tend to be circular, elliptical, or oval. One concerning sign is if the mole is asymmetrical, like a blob shape.
B - Border? Normal moles tend to have smooth edges. One concerning sign is if the mole has a ragged or irregular shape.
C - Colour? Normal moles will generally be a solid colour. One concerning sign is if the mole is multiple colours.
D - Diameter? Normal moles tend to be 6mm (1/4") or less in diameter. One concerning sign is if the mole is large.
E - Enlargement? (or elevation?) Normal moles can appear as we age, but stabilize in size. One concerning sign is a mole that changes size continuously.
Let it be stressed though, that a person could have a melanoma that exhibits none of these signs, or that a mole that exhibits all of these signs could be nothing more than just a weird mole. Only a licensed health care provider can diagnose it.
That said, once I turned 30, I started getting all sorts of new moles. My doctor told me they were fine, and that it was normal. I never got them tested. It seems like they stopped coming around 36 or 37. But I definitely have at least 3x as many moles as I did when I was in my 20's. To be objective, though, I could very well have cancer. I just know that the doctors didn't think much of it, so I never made a big deal out of it. Living in a place where there are lots of ticks, I have to say I'm not impressed with my body for deciding to suddenly grow tick-sized polka dots all over itself, but, not like I can do anything about it.

Yeah, No, Definitely.
Hm... Looks asymmetrical to me.
Does not seem to have a smooth border.
Can't tell if you'd consider that to be one color but it does look darker in the center in my opinion.
Small diameter, only about 2mm tops.
It has enlarged like crazy over 8 months. I have a picture of myself 8 months ago, its absolutely not there.
I hate medical stuff.
Call a clinic. If your income is below their threshold, they might diagnose you for free. Most that accept the uninsured use a sliding fee scale dependent on income and other factors in your ability to pay. I never lived in Toledo, so I can't recommend any specific ones, but there are a ton of them in your area.
I know it sucks to have to schedule a 1-2 hour chuck of time to sit in a waiting room and then sit in a cold exam room. But melanoma is deadly, so it's worth the chance of catching it early in case that's what this is. (I personally, have no idea.)

Do you guys remember any famous actual band-on-band physical fights from back in the Day? I seem to remember GnR v Metallica, Motley Crue vs. several. Like these guys didn't just flap their gums like fragile little boys, they backed it up with their bodies. Lots of hard work and testosterone plus the hooch for sure helped this out. I used to hear and read about intra-tour acts duking it out pretty often.
I'm out of the loop and don't really know if this type of thing still occurs, would be surprised if it did. Tough microphone guys and no actual risk might be more inline with modern times.

still happens from time to time, but depends on the bands. It's way more common in the hardcore scene from what I've witnessed.

Tried the Hot Ones limited edition Pringles and they're fucking awesome (if you like spicy stuff). They have a bit of smoke, bit of acid, and a good bit of heat.

I don't want to make light of this, but I can't tell if you're posting this as a meme, because of your name, or if you are trying to DYI a cancer diagnosis. If it's the latter, def get it checked out. Not because it looks like anything particular to me, but just to be safe. If you have health insurance, see if there's a web app you can send a photo in.

I don't see that it's gone. Was it reinstated?
CanserDYI
Yeah, No, Definitely.
Ahaha no, my name isn't even about Cancer actually. It's an old graffiti moniker, like spray paint cans, then adding the -er like it's my job. DYI was our group, Destroy Your Image, Dying Young Incorporated, Dude You're Insane, etc.
It was gone for a short while, thankfully it came back!

Are there any bands/artists you've never listened to for whatever reason although you know of them and you should have listened to them? Morbid Angel is that band for me. Which is so strange because I could probably say death metal is my favorite genre and I know so many people say how great they are..they just never made it on my radar. Well a couple days ago I picked up the first three albums online. And man have I been missing out. Altars of madness is no joke. How I've not heard them until this weekend is a bit of a mystery.

I feel like I should like Tool but I can't get through one of their songs.
CanserDYI
Yeah, No, Definitely.
Tool superfan here, while I want to tell you to try this song and that album, if you cant find one mainstream song you can listen through, you won't find any hidden stuff you will. And that's okay, I used to think people were crazy for not appreciating them, but honestly I just don't think they're for everyone, obviously.
