Did you read the article? She’s been in intensive care for her mental health for a decade. This wasn’t some spur of the moment decision. Its taken 10 years to get to this point. To state that mental illnesses are curable and non-progressive is pure ignorance and you would do yourself well to learn how poor the prognosis is for people with severe mental illness. There isn’t a cure. You never feel whole or normal. Medication is a shot in the dark most of the time. Therapy doesn’t help everybody. Some people are truly and completely untreatable, and she is one of those people
I’ll help you out: there aren’t any. Some can be managed and worked around in day to day life. Some people may achieve a reasonable quality of life, but their illness will never totally disappear
Meme - In popular language, a meme may refer to an Internet meme, typically an image, that is remixed, copied, and circulated in a shared cultural experience online.
This post is a meme. It is an image that is circulated in a shared cultural experience (this post and it’s many reposts)
I mean, you could interpret remix in a few ways. Editing this specific image? Perhaps it hasn’t been done but that doesn’t mean it can’t be. If we’re considering the core message of the post to be the meme, then I would say it has been remixed. This isn’t the first post I’ve seen conveying this sentiment in similar (but distinct) wording. Theres a reasonable basis for this interpretation in my opinion.
Just because you and I lack the imagination and possess enough empathy to not edit this meme doesn’t mean there aren’t other people out there who can/have
There’s a growing body of evidence that pot smoke can cause/exacerbate emphysema. It’s been nigh on impossible to study the actual health risks associated with marijuana smoke due to it’s legal status in most countries. Now that legalization is taking root, don’t be surprised if we find out over the next 10-20 years that smoking pot is just as bad, if not worse than tobacco.
The differences in the way people smoke pot over tobacco (unfiltered, inhaling deeply and holding it in vs filtered, short, quick breaths) is known to deposit more tar in the lower respiratory tract. So even if there are fewer bad things in pot smoke per given volume, a lot more smoke is sticking to your lungs, increasing exposure and causing damage.
If you (or anyone else for that matter) are set on inhaling anything other than air, it’s best to vape from a harm reduction standpoint. There’s several orders of magnitude less nasty shit in vapor than smoke, no matter the substance
Don’t take what I wrote as an indictment, I don’t exactly follow my own advice lol. I wish I could still smoke, weed gives me instant panic attacks nowadays. Happy toking!
Yeah but it’s funnier with liberals because they get all persecution complex-y when people left of them give them shit, just like conservatives do when libs give them shit
Anarchists are pretty active in their communities, with mutual aid and direct action being cornerstones of the ideology and whatnot. If you spent any time in activist spaces you’d know that
I think what you’re describing is less of an anarchism problem and more of a “people in general” problem. I’m an anarchist and I’d like to think I conduct myself pretty well for the most part, even in political discussions. I won’t say I haven’t been an ass online or in person before but that’s not due to my ideology. I’m just an ass sometimes. Same as everyone else. I will concede that we can be a bit insular at times and that’s certainly a weak spot for many anarchists
Didn’t realize stripping someonein in broad daylight was proper procedure for police. In EMS, excepting life threatening situations where clothes need to be removed in order to save someone’s life, we have the decency to strip patients in the privacy of the ambulance. And even then it’s only done when absolutely necessary. What about this situation called for that woman to be stripped in the street?
This is hitting me hard rn. I went to my hometown the other day and the woods I used to play in (previously a nature preserve) were sold off piecemeal. Torn up to build mcmansions and a luxury nursing home owned by the gated community down the road that’s only for the geriatrics that used to live there. The wildlife displacement has caused boars to make their way into the neighborhood, tearing up people’s gardens and even killed a couple of pets.
The scenic highway that followed the banks of untouched marshland is now apartments and a huge subdivision. They had the balls to call the apartments “the preserve”. They dredged up what little swamp remained in that part of town for bullshit. No infrastructure, no shops, no schools, libraries, clinics. Nothing. Just rows and rows of poorly built, overpriced houses. In the middle of fucking nowherewqw.
There’s huge chunks of undeveloped area in town, chock full of invasives and rows of non-native trees that the city planted to dredge up wetlands decades ago that they could’ve developed into something resembling a real city. But because the city council is literally run by wealthy real estate agents they don’t give a shit. Just sell off the most valuable chunks of land, destroying the very things that made them valuable in the process. It was equal parts sad and infuriating
It’s all good. It’s been happening for years now but I havent been to that part of town since they started “developing” it. There’s been a handful of local protests and more (relatively) progressive people running for local office but so far there hasn’t been any success. I think direct action is called for at this point but there isn’t much in the way of activist orgs down there unfortunately.
It’s a very conservative town. The 30 person demonstration for the BLM protests back in 2020 made the front page and had the cops freaking out
