  • Unironically yes, that would be much better. I can control how fat and stupid I am. All I can do for those kids is vote and I’m sure I don’t need to go on about how little that has helped.

  • Looked it up. We are both wrong. Apparently it was a specific antitoxin serum for diphtheria. Still not a vaccine but also not penicillin.

    Disclaimer: I am not antivax but I do have loved ones who are.

    I’m tired of memes like this. They aren’t just unhelpful. They are anti helpful. The antivax problem isn’t an educational one. It’s an emotional one. Calling people stupid just makes them feel righteous. They dig their heels in and use the adversity as fuel for their own misguided system of beliefs.

    The misinformation around antivax doesn’t even need to make sense because it is not designed to overcome people’s critical thinking. It is designed to prey upon the fear of people who distrust medical professionals. People who have had severe or numerous bad experiences with doctors are often eager to think of them as villains because it allows them to feel more powerful. It allows them to feel like they have other options than just to take a doctor’s word as gospel. Like they don’t just have to put their health in some stranger’s hands.

    Many people have valid reasons to be afraid. From malpractice and misdiagnosis to complex chronic issues that don’t have tidy prescribable solutions, there are tons of patients and families who have been underserved by the medical industry. For these people, it’s understandable why they might cling so hard to the idea that other more independent options exist. Even if the explanations for these “alternatives” don’t hold up to scrutiny.

    If you actually give a shit about this issue, please stop treating antivaxers like morons. Instead, treat them like people who are afraid, and who often have sound reasons for feeling that way.

  • I’m getting the impression that your producer isn’t remotely qualified to be making these claims.

    Jump

  • How much are you willing to dig for it? I’m playing through hollow knight atm and have been shocked at the emotional depth that hides in the margins of the world. If you plow through the game and only touch the required content then all you get is the overall somber vibe. But if you turn every stone, talk to every npc, complete every side quest, you might be surprised at how much love and loss and joy and pain there is in the story.

    Overall it is about picking through the ruins of a dead kingdom. You can engage with that as much or as little as you want. IMO they do an outstanding job of rewarding you for the effort.

  • You aren’t completely wrong but what you are saying is wildly overly reductive. Yes nutrient deficiencies can cause many symptoms which overlap with mental health disorders such as ADHD and can often lead to similar dopamine seeking behaviors, but it is wildly inappropriate to observe a person’s disorderly behavior and conclude that the condition is dietary. It’s just not that simple.

  • Dopamine seeking behavior might stem from poor mental health? Color me surprised!

  • Everyone is entitled to their opinion but I think this is a bit harsh. Personally I respect the devs for going silent. I’m glad they took however long they wanted to perfect the project. No doubt their silence has cost them but I would rather see that than see them constantly putting out bits to try and keep the hype alive. It’s more honest and respectable this way, and the game itself will be better for it.

  • What's the weirdest thing you're upset about?

  • That doesn’t really make it less agitating though. There is a group of birds called jays (like blue jay) and the word jay is scientifically meaningless. It is still infuriating to me that these birds aren’t even vaguely related to each other in many cases. Just name them something else. Make it make sense. Koalas are not bears; just call them koalas. Guinea pigs are not from Guinea and they aren’t pigs. Horned toads are lizards. There are many examples of this. The names of animals don’t have to describe what they are, but they should not be accepted when describing the animal as something it is not. Animals should not have names that conflict with their taxonomy.
