  • I thought I had a problem with taking a point or two and stretching them across a handful of paragraphs. I no longer think I have a problem and indeed have learned a few things to limber up and aim for greater mental gymnastic heights.

    You're not just a fly in history's wall, to hear you retell it, you can read hearts and minds better'n than most deities too. A graph tells a shaky story but your certainty of the intent of every actor involved is inviolate?

    Please don't write back at me, for the first time in my life, I comprehend the fear of my acquaintanceships and the long rambling.

  • In 1998, Baker, Ruoff, and Madoff that the organism is most likely a species of Mycoplasma called Mycoplasma phocacerebrale.[7] This Mycoplasma was isolated in an epidemic of seal disease occurring in the Baltic Sea.[8]

    It's not that we don't know what causes it, and it can be cultured from seals and has been. It's that in order to empirically and categorically say in any way that matters that the organism is definitely the cause of seal finger...

    You would need to be culturing a person infected with the disease from whom treatment is being withheld. Either against their will or with their "consent" wouldn't matter. As we know what the disease can lead to, the ethical course of treatment is clear: a bunch of culture ruining antibiotics injected into you. Right away, without delay.

    Because asking or even taking advantage of someone declining treatment to assess and write the confirmation study that says "Mycoplasma phocacerebrale definite cause of seal finger" goes against a lot of ethical science limitations.

    This is what makes the donating the affected limb of someone who never got care for science post-mortem also work as both a neat joke and ethical loophole. Researchers could accept that gift, ethically.

  • I wonder if any of the sycophants remaining to stare at the dangling keys to power like mesmerized toddlers would even retain the presence and ability to scheme.

    That's one long cultivated and pruned garden of shitbaggery with a history of rich men whose abilities extend to amassing stolen wealth and an inability to handle windows. How many Kingmakers could possibly remain?

    The whole house of cards may fall after time's dues are paid and Putin finally runs out of track to run away from his pedestrian mortality.

    Not willing to entertain bets on whether that will be the time of changes or more "and then it got worse" though.

  • The solution seems simple. AG Bailey and Judge Hickle both need to be seen engaging in [illegal action they are innocent of] by a sane Missouri Justice System officer and an arrest warrant issued for them.

    Only death row inmates...it's not just that it's beyond the pale but it's so stupid while it's at it I can't summon words.

  • There is. The more they stumble, the more they are questioned. The answers to the question cannot be anything but utmost certainty because "maybe" is simply not a message that sways anyone.

    Pretty answers don't change reality though, so the stumbles continue or even increase leading to more questions and the doubling down. You just can't do anything else unless you're ready to commit to another answer.

  • My mom says they make me look handsome and agrees that it's neat that I can carry all the sticks and rocks we find at the park!

  • You can't read. Those are facts and written in a passive voice. Condoning the behavior reads something like: "The state of Israel has sown seeds of ill will nurtured by lies and here comes harvest time" or "Yeah fuckers, get dunked on world stage" or something similar and in-between.

  • People are supposed to include the fact that the pencil can go through because (layman terminology abuse ahead) of the "shape" the space-time topology is presenting (or I guess being induced to present as, if Sci-fi hypothetical) before you get to the explanation of the pencil as craft/observer and how the hole is how that shortened path through the wormhole appears from frames of reference not the pencil.

    I like the bagel idea but then you have to hold it all horizontal while explaining so they don't see the hole too early and you're then just left intently staring at your audience across a bagel held at eye height like a slowly hungering loon. Or so I've heard.

  • How do you select the worthwhile content without the use of your opinion or taking the matter to your tastes?

  • Your comment, but without irony or sarcastic pretention. What exactly do you think semantics are?

  • What is the problem they're so pragmatically a part of? And how do you pin both the content creators needing to eat and the reasonable take of that commenter on the poor Marketing executives who care about neither but just want--actually what do they (end goal of marketing, literally, semantically) want, in your eyes while you're at it? It is their (the marketing execs) side I take it you're on, since the commenter you replied to is part of the problem and the creators do "an ad is an ad" things?

    Challenge; remember capitalism exists in the world as it must as the beginning of your answer (but if you can make it vanish and it all works out by the end of the answer, that's cool too as lots of us are looking for that one).

    How is that other commenter part of the problem, actually part of the problem suspect?

  • There actually is an asterisk and most of us can see. Does this happen in your life often?

  • Beware the (only) highly empathetic too, while you're at it.

    Get the right (wrong) combination and you have:

    Someone who can understand and read the changes they are engendering in others, adjust manipulation in real time, feel terrible about it, but be able to justify it to themselves as improving the lot of others if they genuinely lack the intelligence to comprehend the whole "you can lead a horse to water but not make it drink" adage.

    Self-awareness is tragically never a guarantee; much less using it to take responsibility for shortcomings.

  • These totally normal human beings you sound like you deify...are you their psychiatrist, psychologist, therapist, counselor? Short of those professions or a former tutor who happened to treat all three...

    Well, interesting thing to devote anecdotal brain power to, I'll tell you that.

  • You're like a rogue, misunderstood Guru on a journey of 'I know leave me alone, I was describing the meta-woes of seeming to carry a dearth of knowledge, not the lack itself'.

    Just pointing out from a passing ship; yeah, I see the semantic headaches and agree it's a silly maritime tradition.

  • You haven't experienced slow until you try to take Firefox through Google Cloud Console or Search Tools. 15 seconds in Chrome, somehow turns into 3 minutes in Firefox, funny how it does that.

  • Pedals...Holy shit, yes, foot buttons. Wow. This is not sarcasm, I forgot pedals are just foot input, not limited to a specific purpose like music making or whatever. I don't need more hand buttons I need pedals.
