Is neutral milk hotel real? I thought that name was made up for a bit on Parks and Rec.
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.

Can I hijack this to shout at clouds for a sec? Thanks.
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.

knight_alva@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Video game addiction in teens likely stems from preexisting mental health issuesEnglish0·20 days agoYou 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.

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.
