a handful of decades before my body just does that

  • yeah, I never saw the edit. I thought you objected to the brevity and non-technical language of the video. As for the content, I've only read the abstract and I don't know that much about this field, so I can't really object on scientific grounds.

  • @hexaflexagonbear@hexbear.net @Riffraffintheroom@hexbear.net

    Belated response, and I hope this is not oversharing — thanks for your replies in the last megathread. They turned out to be helpful. Although I don’t think what I’m experiencing is just the standard human condition, because of some other issues I didn’t mention, your responses got me to imagine and consider that I’m at least on the same spectrum as other people and not fundamentally fucked up. That turned out to be important and led to some epiphanies. Anyway thanks for your comments.

  • Hmm.

    Keep in mind there’s a delay, you have to start typing the name and then wait a moment — as in, @Lemm [pause]. Also, make sure you type two or more letters, it won’t show up if you just type @L.

    If that doesn’t help… are you using a different lemmy client than default hexbear?

    After that I’m stumped. Maybe a browser setting or extension is interfering with it?

  • Btw if you just saw that in your inbox and replied, someone above me was trying to ping you lol

  • I don’t think this is that bad. The video content basically follows the content of the abstract of the paper, and he promotes a longer deep-dive video he apparently has elsewhere in his channel, I haven’t gone looking. Part of science communication is being able to summarize the core narrative of the research, sometimes to an audience who are not experts in that field. This is crucial if you want interdisciplinary collaboration, if you want cross-pollination of findings between fields, and if you want the public to care about what you are doing and support funding you.

    That said, this guy needs to link the research in the description.

    Here’s the summary the University of Rochester put out https://www.urmc.rochester.edu/news/story/why-dont-bats-get-cancer

    And here’s the non-paywalled paper in Nature Communications https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-025-59403-z

  • Sell it on ebay

  • Yeah that’s gutting to read

  • Yeah that’s true. I just hope that those who are experiencing a genuine crisis now can bring some of their audience along for the ride.

  • Yeah pretty much. I just think that, at this point, two years into it, anyone whose job is to be informed and shape discourse, and is just now coming around, needs to meet a very high bar of public contrition and epiphany.

  • I'll welcome regular people, but not the journalists and public figures who are cynically covering their asses so they can cheer for the next genocide. We need to destroy their reputations and scatter their audiences to the winds.

  • lmao, if it ends the way the show ended, I hope he never writes it

  • not trying to get too serious in the megathread, but,

    therapy goers, is there a therapist word (that I can google) for not having a coherent identity? as in, "be yourself," "I can't, that person straight up doesn't exist." it's not depersonalization, and I don't think it's dissociation. it just feels like a huge chunk of me is inexpressible and scrambled even to myself.

    *if no word immediately comes to mind, there's no need to dig for one, I'm not using hexbear as an unpaid therapist

  • Even if you resolve this issue, you should consider writing down the tracks in your favorite playlists. No internet service is forever, but the songs themselves won't cease to exist, so you could potentially recreate these playlists outside spotify in the future.

  • sleep loss can have an insidious corrosive effect on your mental health, if you have any struggles there. And if that starts to affect your sleep it can become a vicious cycle where you feel like shit so you sleep like shit and then you keep feeling like shit.

  • do any of you follow Palestinian journalists who are stil active?

  • I can't stomach the video, but I looked into the restaurants. He links to six instagram accounts that purportedly belong to restaurants in the Gaza strip.

    I think the basic situation is that, although some people do still have money in Gaza, and some restaurants do still manage to sell food to them (at least as of a few weeks ago), limited supply and high demand have driven up prices beyond what many can afford, especially those who fled the hot zones with only what they could carry. This is why crowds of people are dodging gunfire to reach aid boxes supplied by enemy soldiers.
