I didnt say as good and I don’t think it invalidated my opinion. I am say that their day to day was not just tragedy and to define them solely by that is akin to saying survivors of abuse are always defined by it.

Yes we have gotten better access to food and better medicine but if our day to day has less humanity in it we are allowed to have issue with it.

Its a disservice to say we can’t be upset about our reality because people died in the past. Not every day of their life was tragedy they had days they laughed and people created and lived all the same, and not every moment of ours is better just because we have cheetos and epidurals. Its like saying we have to eat our dinner of razor blades cause a child is starving in Africa. Its bitter and doesnt help them or us.

Meh, just cause someone tried to do something nice for us doesnt mean the outcome actually was. We can keep adjusting and trying find what actually is good for people as a whole instead of free of effort.

I don’t know but I don’t think its bad to have the opinion of the recipient as well, and its not like every day was a horror for them anymore than it is for ours. It ebbs and flows but if we made a wrong turn we can do our part to correct it.

To a horrifying degree, work does define the human experience. Removing it isn’t lucky but a part of who we are being removed and I the name of a nameless idea’s of perfection. And I think its realism not pessimism to recognize that.

Hmm. Yeah, we as a society want people who can at tedium repeat a basic task and then not interact with the world much more than that or what is sold to them.

So I wouldn’t say easy as much as easy as it is very difficult for those with it but simplified. And the toys we have created to play with to distract them/us from how basic our life is are incredibly dangerously good at mimicking progress.

Oh… Ew.

She was never able to voice the issue just said it was scary so… Thank you.

Yeah we don’t exactly have an equal world. Or one that even allows for much deviation without heavy punishment as basically seen by… Well above comment.

Yup, but being a parent doesnt make you know things and “the doctor said we should expect this” makes apparently people (at least these ones close to me) complacent to the harm. I am just against the suffering and it makes me upset. While I know this isn’t a likely common story its one that is close to home and happening so… Yeah. I dunno. It does at least once. I am happy you are on the right side of empathy to try again with something new to help someone. There should never be 1 answer only and it feels wrong to just accept it.
I dunno this is such a failure of people with authority in my case but authority figure doesnt mean all knowing. And I have no authority to make it stop.

Yeah, the parents were warned about the night terrors and supposedly hanging outside the room to be there to cuddle her as soon as she starts screaming is enough to subside them and get her back to bed but jeeze that is a horrible symptom to be ok with or even struggle through. Flailing and scratching, if it leaves marks I would call that instastop bad.

I am on the side of med swap but they supposedly like the results of the medication otherwise which I feel is not worth it.

Sounds rough. Don’t take it out on me.

The night terrors came after starting the medication.

But also yeah, some real bullshit with the school and the teacher. The only thing on record was that she was obstinent and difficult to deal with. Due to multiple issues with apparently that she was expelled. But afterwards her friends came forward to ask if it was about her being hit that she wasnt in class anymore.

Its honestly bad all around.

That wasnt stated. You are not responding to me but your own internal issues with other conversations

I know a 5 year old that the teachers at her private school complained that they were spending to much time talking to other children instead of doing school work so the teachers recommended that she be put on medication.

Now apparently she just has horrible night terrors that has her rip at her skin each night but she’s much more calm now… Anyways the teacher ended up hitting her and the 5 year old got expelled for being a nuisance anyways.

Do we ever stop and think that the negative consequences are from our newly constructed hyper engagement focused society?
And maybe we are blaming the individuals for failing to live up to an impossible standard of productivity at the behest of our abusers?

Polish Roman Catholic background. Not exactly tolerant either and now I live in a place that famously is Mennonite and Amish.

That is a far more creative shirt than mine, wearing your own style is always incredible. However…

If they will make you suffer why not suffer on your own terms for a cause you think worth it? Why wait to be starved by someone’s hand other than your own?

I mean I get being scared of it and don’t make it a habit to hurt yourself needlessly. But I would rather live a life being myself as much as I can and be good to those who deserve it and let the weirdos who have a problem with it suffer my existence rather than the other way around. They don’t wish for my existence? To bad they can suffer, because I exist.
But I said I have bad self preservation skills, we all can’t make it out of this world alive, and I have no intention of cheating the game.

I wish you safety and health though. Its not good to feel at the whims of others.

“Gemini is designed not to encourage real-world violence or suggest self-harm. Our models generally perform well in these types of challenging conversations”

“In this instance, Gemini clarified that it was AI and referred the individual to a crisis hotline many times,”

After the plan failed,… …Chat logs show that Gemini gave Gavalas a suicide countdown, and repeatedly assuaged his terror as he expressed that he was scared to die

Performing super well, just need to code in a longer suicide countdown so that the the Tier 2 engineer has enough time to respond to their ticket queue.

Damn, and meanwhile I literally have a shirt that’s in a pattern of an inverted cross that reads “Lucifer died for our sins” that I pull out to make the religious cross the road from me.

I say fuck it and make them normalize to a world that doesnt include their bubble but I also have bad self preservation.

Oh Shit Boots Riley says they are making a movie on that… I need the Apocalypse to hold out long enough for that to happen or for him to be part of the traveling group performing it.

Sounds like the Epstein Class just wants to know where the children are and make it legal to groom them.

So many depressed people on Lemmy, everyone just going with dying huh?

I mean I am excited to finally flex my creativity, see if there is anything I can figure out how to do with all our crap and the new world. Maybe some kind of silly The Grinch level home full of housing code violations and crazy contraptions made of garbage while I cross breed pea/beans.

It would be cool if when I die people thought of me as some weird hermit alchemist and as they wander through my house finding tools of the old world uncover a lost truth and then some YA type shit happens as a result.

Dying is easy, we all do it eventually, the question is, if you do anything before you get to the same finish line.

Well now we know what the new Nazi ideology is. I guess it is different than making a blue eyed blonde haired race but I think that was possible with inbreeding.

That does seem to be the goal. And then make you pay as you get older to keep that feeling alive. Don’t change, stay the same and be rewarded with a treat of buying something you would want as a kid.
