In 1998, Baker, Ruoff, and Madoff that the organism is most likely a species of Mycoplasma called Mycoplasma phocacerebrale.[7] This Mycoplasma was isolated in an epidemic of seal disease occurring in the Baltic Sea.[8]

It’s not that we don’t know what causes it, and it can be cultured from seals and has been. It’s that in order to empirically and categorically say in any way that matters that the organism is definitely the cause of seal finger…

You would need to be culturing a person infected with the disease from whom treatment is being withheld. Either against their will or with their “consent” wouldn’t matter. As we know what the disease can lead to, the ethical course of treatment is clear: a bunch of culture ruining antibiotics injected into you. Right away, without delay.

Because asking or even taking advantage of someone declining treatment to assess and write the confirmation study that says “Mycoplasma phocacerebrale definite cause of seal finger” goes against a lot of ethical science limitations.

This is what makes the donating the affected limb of someone who never got care for science post-mortem also work as both a neat joke and ethical loophole. Researchers could accept that gift, ethically.

What is the problem they’re so pragmatically a part of? And how do you pin both the content creators needing to eat and the reasonable take of that commenter on the poor Marketing executives who care about neither but just want–actually what do they (end goal of marketing, literally, semantically) want, in your eyes while you’re at it? It is their (the marketing execs) side I take it you’re on, since the commenter you replied to is part of the problem and the creators do “an ad is an ad” things?

Challenge; remember capitalism exists in the world as it must as the beginning of your answer (but if you can make it vanish and it all works out by the end of the answer, that’s cool too as lots of us are looking for that one).

How is that other commenter part of the problem, actually part of the problem suspect?

You haven’t experienced slow until you try to take Firefox through Google Cloud Console or Search Tools. 15 seconds in Chrome, somehow turns into 3 minutes in Firefox, funny how it does that.

Shhh, you’ll attract the solarpunks and then we’ll really be finding out all about the ways of low-tech and high-nature. Some of us have things to do today other than design low-watt high-flow irrigation.

Right. You are righteously protesting. Right on. No joke or bullshit, I applaud conviction.

Of course, the bastards have made it so that the price of mass protest of this kind is the same folks protesting dying more often.

That’s also no joke, or bullshit.

For every action there is an equal but opposite reaction, and if you stare at the abyss too long it stares back at you; same sentiment.

Same way you don’t kid yourself about the goal, never kid yourself about the price and who pays it or you’re no better than who you protest.

I’m sorry if this is news, and it is not your fault; let’s head off that trite response.

But conviction often quantifiably costs blood, and it’s poignant the theme is literal this time which is why I’m taking the chance to blab this much.

A warrior should know the weight of the sword they heft.

Mild electric shock and a vandalism charge if caught. Worth it? I don’t know but I’m getting sick of the fucking ads

Edit: So stab then pump, instead of the other way around to avoid boom boom?

I like how some people are claiming americans are aware of this lol

What every revolution has had is people informing others about what the issue is

If most americans were sufficiently aware and organizing against it accordingly

The vast majority of successful revolutions are only those that had organized revolutionaries.

OK. I see your messaging is at odds with itself and you understand the assignment.

You got top spot on this here memetic sharing of ideas. Which message for the Americans at home who by virtue of reading you on Lemmy are closer to you than not?

Power. Your fantasy assumes the weight of mere knowing outweighs the power wielded against the citizenry. No revolution started with the whole citizenry waking up. You know why. If not, read more and be less disingenuous.

There’s a thin line between anguished despair and nihilistic optimism.

A thin, intentional line.

It can be alluded to, highlighted, charted, and otherwise discussed ad-infinitum, but it’s damn near impossible to lead another to.

Only have one comment to read (and I’m sorry how much it cost) but it looks like you’re at peace indeed.

Kudos to you, but remember you can backslide in acceptance and working back out is okay too!

Even crazy new Dragons get the “Respect the #1 rule of Dragon Club; do nothing to threaten the viability of the existence of Dragons” speech, I reckon.

Now keep in mind we have to be reasonable people and not driving our people beyond reasonableness.

Ditch your suite, and go into executive exclusive consultancy.

Just paraphrase the quoted section for each individual thick skull, and maybe teach them that softening the skin around your eyes and giving the beleaguered high performers bringing feedback a knowing look doesn’t violate business needs.

Then you won’t have to worry about posts starting with “as an executive” going wrong.

Well, no not really, but I know a board that needs to internalize that sentiment.

Absolutely. You’re forced through a slower burn in the books that is hard to appreciate until you’re many more books down.

The show packed in the political intrigue and other elements earlier because it better fit the format, whereas on the books you first go through Holden and Miller’s PoV and throughout their different perceptions get introduced to the setting.

Then the 2nd and 3rd books bring in a deeper view of those other political points of view. It then pats you for now having all of the info you need.

Then it straps you into a jump seat and hits the juice with a few random stops and sudden decelerations before boosting off again for the remainder of the 8 books and novellas.

Man. Every time I see it again spelled out, how smooth these disingenuous decrepit assholes had it when they were my age, I start wishing for a claymore and a stump.

Boo, the audience was enjoying the illusion of intellectual discourse you were laying and how deftly it was peeled back!

Why did you give up so soon and play the hypocrisy of the “Good faith” card? You could have continued helping the cause of leftism by continuing to be the perfect verbal sparring dummy. The think tank needs new material mate.

Without a cure for ADHD this is actually free healthcare woo!!!

Yes, I wish you the best of luck in finding a GP that will listen finely to your subjective experience.

That is absolutely key, and often the most difficult part—especially for anyone with any degree of neurodivergence—to the point I almost gave up trying to advocate for myself.

Even with my (reportedly? I don’t know how these things are measured to be honest) lesser degree of neurodivergence many meds side effects affect me differently.

If you can find a provider that already has experience diagnosing autism in adults, they might be the kind of provider whose opinion on the specifics of the side effects you might want to seek.

I wish you the best of luck in your journey towards ease of being, fellow person.

Not OCD, but ADHD. Otherwise same attitude towards rx drugs, especially since my parents opted against them when first recommended as a child.

In my lucky case, it took 2 hours after taking the stimulant medicine my brain was lacking to maintain a coherence state (aka a flow state), for me to feel like the world’s greatest fool for having waited until I was in my 30s.

The day is literally seared in my memory levels of life changing.

Highly encourage you to discuss with your healthcare/psychiatry provider and strongly consider trying them. The side effects are often charted and entirely avoidable in many cases. The most important thing is a dialogue with a professional.

Nah, that’s definitely the rule. The playbook is as old as communal living.

Lacking a feeling of belonging is the single most exploitable flaw we have. From scammers after your money to wannabe dictators; they all rely on a missing foundation of support around the individuals they seek to radicalize/exploit.

This is why it’s so important to keep an eye out for those kind of people and just talk to them and include them. “Brainwashing” is not an instant—or permanent, but if it’s gelled in it’s hard to advocate for trying to talk there—process.

While the marginalized are fed lies and hate with extreme precision nowadays, there’s always gonna be a window between first exposure and lockstep indoctrination.

That’s why it’s so important to reach out if you know anyone on the margins like that, you might be the only thing stopping that process in time before they’re part of any number of “too far and not them at all” groups of which the fasch and alt-right are currently the biggest but not only examples.

Yeah, it’s not strictly anyone’s responsibility in this world we live in, but I sure think it should be a normal part of being in a community in the world we ought to be fighting for.

Keep being you. Fight that feeling one person at a time, we should all follow that example.

You’re not imagining things, the world is not just “getting weird” but division is sown our way from a multitude of places for their own profits and agendas.

Yet, we must be silenced. The people can not be allowed to speak. Even as dystopia gives the diseased members of the species ever more powerful and abstract tools to divide us, they still fear us talking.

That’s because what you’re doing is literally all it takes to begin eroding the artificial pen walls. We’re made to communicate and tell each other stories, that’s deeply ingrained.

What we’re losing slowly and globally is our sense of cohesion. Neighbor to neighborhood, resident to city, citizen to country, human to human.

All of our innate mental structures that trend towards “making it all work, no matter who is helped because it helps me too” are constantly being twisted and attacked. But we are what we are, so keep fighting the good fight.
