Primarily what I was saying is we should avoid thinking material conditions that create rational bad actors are pathologies or moral failings.
- Comment on THE CRAZY PILLS 6 days ago:
Let’s be clear here: this didn’t happen. If you actually gobbled handfuls of acetaminophen after a few days you’d experience excruciating stomach pain, turn yellow, and finally die of DIC with blood coming out of your orifices.

Only if it makes you unable to develop stable relationships.

When it comes to the DSM-V, that’s how it works.
- Comment on We interrupt your happiness to bring you this special message from our sponsors 1 week ago:
A disorder must somehow negatively impact your activities of daily living like your job. If you’re explicitly making tons of money off your delusions, it’s not a disorder.
- Comment on When a person gains weight and keeps the weight on for a long time, is that old fat in your body, or does the fat get replaced over time? 1 week ago:
Most of the weight is carbon that is breathed out actually, but metabolic water isn’t insignificant.

- Comment on ‘My buyer’s guilt is insane. It’s $1,300 on trash’: the adults addicted to blind box toys like Labubus 2 weeks ago:
I think the arguments about direct psychological harm are a bit overblown. A bipolar person, like the one interviewed, who’s buying a bunch of these blind boxes because they’re manic likely isn’t experiencing suicidal ideation because of the blind boxes but the bipolar depression on the other side. Sure you’ll see correlation there, but not causation. That said, a business making big profits on poor decisions made by manic folks is intrinsically exploitative.

- Comment on The McDonald's employee who called on Luigi has never received their "reward", folks chasing the 100k for Kirk may not either... 5 weeks ago:
They just have no legal recourse if the reward is not paid.
To be clear, it’s because while promissory estoppel and unilateral contracts are a very real thing you can sue over, sovereign immunity keeps that from being an option, particularly federally. If some private organization offered the reward you’d be fine, but when it is a sovereign immune government that hasn’t waved it’s immunity you’re fucked.
- Comment on WiFi signals can measure heart rate—no wearables needed 1 month ago:
Cool tech but I question it’s usefulness. They focus on clinical in their language but anybody who’s on telemetry orders needs waveforms not beats per minute. I care if they’re suddenly in afib, not that they’re a little tachy after getting up to go to the bathroom.

Plutonium. A uranium critical mass would be much much bigger and you wouldn’t be able to adjust it with screwdrivers.

Functional in what way. You’ll still be quite lucid well into the middle stage where you can’t work. It ain’t like it’s direct ticket from work to a locked memory care unit. You might even find life fulfilling along the way that your current anxieties can’t see.

- Comment on A bike rider in Cheshire says people riding on the county’s roads are “fair game for crazy drivers” after police reject video evidence of dangerous driving due to a lack of witnesses 1 month ago:
Witnesses need to introduce the evidence as to where they got it, where it was recorded, and how it was recorded or it’s hearsay. That said, the cops only want to be the sole depondent for citation level crimes usually so they’ve decided they don’t want to do the legwork of getting the person who recorded it to be the witness.
- Comment on Imagine there was a society in which blue eyed people are referred to with blee/bler pronouns, and green eyed people are referred to with glee/gler pronouns... 1 month ago:
Early Proto Indo European genders were if things had agency/was animate/acted on the world or not. Was pretty much him and it. A car would be a him because it moves around. Same with a river or a weapon. A rock would be an it. A rolling boulder though becomes outside context, since now he’s an animate rock that has enough agency to kill you. You get enough of these inconsistencies and the language just loses the original plot and you just have to memorize it points to Germanic and romance languages
- Comment on What would be ancient ways to properly store vitamin C? 2 months ago:
Drying can work to a degree if it’s cold, but it really depends on how you dry it since vitamin c is water soluble. Anything heat dried is out. And modern sauerkraut is pasturized so that’s pretty useless for vitamin C. Finally canned preserves are canned under high heat. These industrial processes are a major reason why scurvy was so hard to treat at the beginning of the industrial revolution. Nobody could figure it out because they kept heat treating potential solutions.
- Comment on What would be ancient ways to properly store vitamin C? 2 months ago:
Vitamin C is heat sensitive but pickling is fine and a good reason why pickled cabbage is popular in places with cold winter. Beyond that, it’s straight up foraging for greens and berries. Plenty of leafy greens allowed enough vitamin c to stave off scurvy.

- Comment on Study: Social media probably can’t be fixed 2 months ago:
Pre print journalism fucking bugs me because the journalists themselves can’t actually judge if anything is worth actually discussing so they just look for click bait shit.
This methodology to discover what interventions do in human environments seems particularly deranged to me though:
We address this question using a novel method – generative social simulation – that embeds Large Language Models within Agent-Based Models to create socially rich synthetic platforms.
LLM agents trained on social media dysfunction recreate it unfailingly. No shit.

Cardinal getting his call right is an existential issue regarding reproductive fitness. Even if he could comprehend judging terminal internetites he wouldn’t place it as significant.

I don’t really know how I feel to see charting at day cares. I guess it does solve a liability need just as much as charting in nursing homes and hospitals do. But we’re not usually even this detailed.
