people who think long covid is psychosocial / psychosomatic have such a grave misunderstanding of post-acute sequelae. my long covid was visible, measurable lung and blood vessel damage. you think i anxietied my way into that, and meditated my way out of it? fucking no lol
i hate how none of you people understand southern gothic. it stemmed as a black southern aesthetic facing the horrors of slavery, the bayou, etc.
southern gothic is louisiana, mississippi, alabama, etc. no southern gothic is not anything else. stop discrediting black ppl.
@nyxcritter@s0wh4t1md34d@muzzled_canine when did we fucking say terminal???? this is about a man not getting assistive technology. did you read the post or does it just have to be about you specifically whenever someone posts on the internet
@muzzled_canine harping on and on about choice (when that "choice" is being heavily influenced by the government not helping you unless youre "choosing" to kill yourself) when your dad equally had the choice to find and get any form of painless suicide over those years. see how stupid that is.
@nyxcritter ME ME ME this conversation must be about ME!!! my dad dying of painful terminal cancer is the same thing these stupid cripples are talking about as a physically disabled but otherwise medically stable person being denied basic human dignity and care!! i am very smart
Took a philosophy class that covered assisted dying. One guy wanted to die because he couldn't afford his disability equipment so his life was shit and he had no independence. Apparently "why don't they just give him the equipment instead of killing him" was the wrong answer?????
On a serious note, if americans were groomed into joining the military, why did they rape and abused Iraqis during iraq invasion? Why did they abuse Afghan kids?why were they celebrating hitting iran? If they were groomed they wouldn't do such inhumane acts during wars..
I don't have any empathy for people who live in poverty and instead of fighting their oppressors they decide to work for them and kill innocent people who have even less than them
Is God Is (2026)
So hey, there’s this black led movie from a black debutante director that unfortunately didn’t do well at the box office but I think people should still try to check it out and spread the word because it’s actually pretty decent.
I’ll never forget going to the museum of American war crimes in Ho Chi Minh City that has an extensive exhibit on agent orange and reading negative online reviews written by Americans that the museum was fake propaganda
when we was telling yall that doctors and the healthcare industrial complex were going to be footsoldiers for fascism yall laughed at us for calling everyone a Nazi but we batting a thousand on institutional analysis rn so maybe you should just pipe down and listen sometime.
tell me the number. tell me how many children equal a bachelor’s degree. tell me how many shattered families equal a pension. if we’re doing economics, finish the calculation. have the courage to say it directly.
i want people to hear themselves. i want them to sit with the horror of the sentence they keep circling without saying. yes, the village was destroyed. yes, people were killed. but someone got a pathway into the middle class. say it directly. hear how monstrous it sounds.
Economic pressure, propaganda, and predatory recruitment explain why people join the military. They do not absolve them of moral responsibility for what they choose to participate in. An explanation is not an excuse.
Sam Harris published "if Palestinians laid down their arms, there would be peace" on the same day a 7 month old Palestinian baby was shot and killed by Israeli soldiers.
the baby's name happened to be Sam, too.
