Contagious means you can get it from direct or indirect contact with another person or organism that is infected. Not from eating them.
That is not possible with prion disease.
Ingesting a Petri dish full of flu virus doesn’t make the Petri dish ‘contagious’.
I wanna know what sourpuss downvoted every comment in this harmless thread. lol
Yeah but 1 of them secretly hates the other 7.
Prion diseases aren’t contagious.
Edit: for the uninformed people that downvoted - clearly spelled out here https://www.merckmanuals.com/professional/neurologic-disorders/prion-diseases/overview-of-prion-diseases
Model collapse is just a euphemism for “we ran out of stuff to steal”
I have two cats (siblings) that can’t get along this well. Seven is miraculous.
We already store electrons in bottles. They’re called batteries.
I can only control my own choices. But that fact is one of the main reasons I made that choice. It’s not sustainable.
I think a lot of people have a problem admitting that the consumption of certain things causes harm, which is why they turn it into an all or nothing decision. But I believe in the principle of harm reduction, and not letting perfect be the enemy of ‘better’. Or put in a more positive light, ‘every little bit helps’.
Uhh…. right. You might want to check your carbon monoxide detectors.
Vegans are the problem? What problem? Causing climate change, or eating too much red meat? Your comment makes no sense.
I made this decision a couple years ago. Gave up milk (switched to oat milk), but I still eat cheese and yogurt. I eat probably 20% of the red meat per year that I used to.
You don’t have to be a rabid vegan to make an impact.
Kudos on spelling boyfriend wrong twice but then the third time you nailed it!
I don’t have any advice to give you, only empathy. Been through a lot of the same feelings and thoughts. Don’t give up on yourself. I sometimes think about all the things I would have missed if I had gone through with some of my darker plans.
But then again I never would have had to sit through the last 3 Star Wars movies. Pros and cons.
(Hope a little laugh helps you feel better)
I think a lot of us went through that in school. “You’re so smart, why can’t you just apply yourself?”
Because my brain is wired different and your class is boring as fuck, Ms Billman! Also stop getting mad when I point out the errors in your lesson. You insecure piece of shit.
But I’m not bitter. 😁
That would be a great name for those trampoline parks people take their kids to!
That’s an incredible way to put it. I am definitely not the man I used to be, but that’s not a bad thing for me as it’s been an almost universal improvement. I do sometimes think back about ‘past me’ and feel a sense of loss about what could have been, especially when it comes to some of my relationships, but for me it doesn’t rise to the level of grief. Just…. wondering how things might have turned out instead.
Great post but I just wanted to say it’s also ok not to feel grief. I was diagnosed very late in life (late 40s) and I’ve felt nothing but relief since getting on meds and finally having a reason for so many things I struggled with in my life other than “something is fucking wrong with me”.
Point being, let yourself feel what you feel!
I have two Litter Robots and I love them. I spend 5 minutes a week cleaning cat boxes which is as simple as pulling the garbage bag out of the tray and putting in a new one. And every time the cats go in there, it’s clean.
Expensive but worth it. They aren’t perfect, but I haven’t found anything better.
Also, that’s not what direct contact means when discussing contagion:

Ingestion is not ‘direct contact’.
