k1ddkanuck 2 years ago
Where and whenever one gets the chance, punch a Nazi today. Wherever they may roam. My skin crawls to think that in this day and age (especially in North America or Europe) there is a pretty good chance that they are descended from at least one person who fought against the original ones. Fascism is a scourge on humanity. Point finale.

It actually makes me sick how much effort we put into torturing and killing our fellow humans ... we should be way ahead of such, but instead of going forward, building upon developments of former decades - we hardly succeed in defending what we already reached. Instead of that, we now have to face rightwing radicals in all of europe, getting more and more traction within the voters - as if none of the atrocities of the past would teach us better. It could. Should - but we gotta listen.

I'm reading Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman's "Good Omens" right now which is dark comedy about the apocalypse and nature of religion and human morality. One of the parts that stuck out to me is when they say that the demons couldn't think up a torture as horrible as what people were already doing to one another.

As a Jewish person myself I cannot thank people like her enough who stood up against hate and antisemitism and fought for what's right even at the cost of her own safety and risking her own life.

AND - it likely exceeds skin. The skin-related metabolism differs pretty vastly, and everything connected to it - sunburns, vitamine D, ... - does also, of course. The same applies to women/men. We don't react identical. We shall aknowledge difference, take it into account whereever it is implied, analyze, and act accordingly. This may range from slight adjustments in dosage to completely different approaches, although the disease/condition itself is no different.
Doodles1983 2 years ago
Yup. Equal treatment DOES NOT mean equitable treatment. Different ethnicities and even sexes SHOULD be treated differently to ensure the most optimal outcomes. So many people don’t see or understand that it is for their benefit, not due to discrimination. People should be taught this and get over being offended.

I used the same books on symptoms and signs as everyone. Written in UK but used by us in Nigeria. You really do not need a specially written book for us. We know how a black jaundiced skin will look. That is why we did not bother creating one. We were writing books for tropical medicine that western books did not cover. The only reason this is getting attention, is because a black student write something for blacks in a white society. Like his way of thinking, but next time as your senior colleagues if the research is actually needed.
2WheelTravlr 2 years ago
The question is, would Nigerian doctors know what these same symptoms and signs looked like on lighter skin if their curriculum focused only on darker skin? This doctor is dealing with the opposite, he lives in a society where many doctors rarely interact with anyone with darker skin so they have no basis for knowledge.

I wonder if they also include the lesser-valued individuals, like 'Racist A-hole', 'Religious Fanatic', 'Political Fanatic', 'Arrogant Bully', several others come to mind.
A recent international survey from Oxford’s Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism found that in almost every country surveyed, people’s trust in media is decreasing. More and more people are avoiding news because, they say, it “has a negative effect on their mood.”
This is why allowing yourself some light-hearted content that evokes positive emotional responses such as curiosity and amazement, or surprise, is very important. But despite good news and positive content being beneficial to our mental health, like most people are aware of, our behavior tells a different story.
The researchers also found that, on average, negative news provoked much stronger physiological reactions and garnered more attention than positive or neutral news. And even though individual people’s reactions varied a bit, a minority of people respond more to positive news.

That couldn't really happen though, since trisomy 21 (95% of those with Down syndromw) is the result of a pair of 21st chromosomes in either the sperm or the egg failing to separate at or before conception and about 1 out of 770 babies (in the US anyway) are born with the extra chromosome. While there are parents with Down syndrome that have children with Down syndrome, the vast majority are born to chromosomally normal parents.

Moreover, almost every Russian I have met in the USA is against the invasion. They are not subject to the barrage of government propaganda like the people who live in Russia, and are not obsessed with extreme nationalism, otherwise they would never have left Russia. Few unltra-nationalistic Russians ever left Russia, even under Communism, and those who did went back when Communism fell.

When asked about the reasons why fake news has become so widespread, the cybersecurity expert said that it’s “due to factors that concern both the content of the messages and the technological foundation of platforms on which the news is proliferated.”
“Fake news is usually related to current affairs and makes remarkable, emotion-inducing claims. This, combined with the fact that social media platforms collect data on what kind of posts users spend the most time on and feed them content with similar characteristics, provides the perfect conditions for the spread of misinformation,” Daniel concluded.

Izzy Curer 2 years ago (edited)
@AngelWingsYT The problem with the quote is that it's xenophobic. It's not referring to individuals (like Trump or those who voted for him), it's implying that an entire population lacks critical thinking based on where they were born. ("A whole country of idiots.") Since we're all talking about the US, now, apparently, it's implying that everybody voted for Trump, which the majority did not. It's implying that the Us doesn't also have professors, and writers, and artists, and doctors, and just otherwise decent human beings, which is wrong. No one is arguing that the Us government is imperfect, but all messages like this do is sow hatred towards the citizens. The same holds true for Russia, where the news outlets have been being deliberately censored by the government for decades.

Maybe she would have liked it, at least earlier versions of it. Or Tumblr. Or Bored Panda. Where would the US be if MLK had been there? Could he have influenced more social change? Would universal healthcare be on the table? They could have done so much more if they'd only had time.

This Is The Shadow Of A Tree During An Eclipse
David 2 years ago
Basically each small hole of light gets you one. In this case I assume bits of light making it between the leaves. At the last eclipse a few years back someone showed me something sort of similar by holding a colander over a piece of paper. Every hole where the light shone through made a tiny 'eclipse' like that.

That was true long ago, when the word was solely used to mean "one of a kind". This is no longer the case, and to say something is "very unique" to mean "rare" or "special" is accepted (according to multiple dictionaries).

A Bald Eagle's Nest. Ranger Included For Scale
David 2 years ago
We have a lot of eagles around here. There is a place a few miles from here that has one big tree in an otherwise empty (no trees) farm field. There has been a big eagle's nest in it for years. last summer as I was driving past there was an adult eagle at the nest and I briefly saw a couple of heads pop up. You can't see it too great from the road since it is high up but it's kind of fun to see eagles in it every year.
Debby Keir 2 years ago
Just asking, but if the ranger sits in it, does that not put the eagles off when they smell human? Or are they so large that they don't care?
RedMarbles 2 years ago
I'm wondering if this nest is no longer used, as it's on the ground, and meant to be displayed for educational purposes. If it is meant to be raised somewhere to be used, I would guess the human smell wouldn't be an issue only because it seems that the concern about human smells bothering animals seems to have been largely overblown in so many circumstances (ex. touching baby birds or fawns).

Interesting - Bobi really doesn't look that old and even appears to be overweight, although apparently his age has been confirmed by multiple organizations.

liam newton-harding 2 years ago
The amount of technologies, specialities, and advances that spun off from the invention of powered flight, to the moon landing is mind boggling. The butterfly effects of these technologies benefit all mankind. The moon missions employed TENS OF THOUSANDS, meaning they got paid, their children got educations, their families were fed. It did keep people out of poverty.

I have been in that room. It was empty then of course. Shout out to any hunk of rope that lasts over 3,000 years. It was dry / musty / still in there so I guess that helped. And they probably treated the rope with something. Oil or wax or whatever. But that's still really impressive for what looks like a piece of hemp rope.

I politely disagree. I found it amazing how there was so much concrete and yet you would turn a corner in an ally and there is a Shinto gate in a garden. The green is there and pops up in the most unexpected areas. I'm not saying it is flush with greenery but its not as dystopic as your description makes it seem.
