Which definition of fascism are you applying?
Well her three kids are all great! Her first pregnancy went complication free, twins needed a c section because umbilical tangles. All healthy as, super sweet, and the eldest is extremely articulate and agreeable for a 2 year old. I don't usually like kids under 5ish but I'll hang out with them any day, very low stress relatively!
She did find some people were judgey, but surpringly not the healthcare people. They mostly seemed happy at her not being an antivax weirdo and keeping active!
Best of luck!
Idk what stage you're at. I showed my sister your post and she said this:
I have no literature to share (didn't really look and didn't stumble across anything). Only:
Prenatal vitamins: vitamin intake super important now, especially Omega-3, iron, choline. Naturelo vegan prenatal vitamin was my pregnancy multivitamin of choice
Also, it's hard to keep iron up. In twin pregnancy I was taking the max dose of iron, but taking it every two days as there's some evidence that your body produces something (heparin?) in response to iron intake so actually skipping every second day (not doubling the dose either; literally just skipping a day) results in higher uptake. The max recommended dose is 200mg elemental iron. This meant one ferro-grad C, a couple of the bioceuticala iron, and a handful of other iron tablets - with a variety of forms of iron (ferrous bisglycinate, ferrous fumarate, etc)
And I took vegan choline and Omega-3 separately as well
It's very possible to have a perfectly healthy vegan pregnancy. Hey, I carried twins to 40 weeks!
brain dead take.
Always a racist slave state? sure. A military cult since like 1910? sure. A broken oligarchy? sure.
Fascist? defs heading that way. Not always.
I postulate that there comes a point where language is required to achieve a higher state of emotion.
Right, just so we're clear you're making shit up and clothing it in the language of science.
I am not banning you yet because I'm not sure you quite understand what you just implied but it's hard not to read this as a claim that humans with different capacities for language don't reach your enlightened heights of emotional complexity.
That is a very dangerous attitude which has been used to justify absolutely horrendous stuff.
Do you uh, wanna backpedal from that claim?
This is a pretty strange stance to argue. As far as I can see you're saying:
- we can't know another animal's emotional state
- some humans rarely have abnormalities in how they feel emotions
- from 1 and 2 it is possible that emotional capacity is not universal in animals
- from 3 it is unlikely non human animals are comparable to human animals in emotional capacity
I just don't see how you get from 3 to 4. It would seem to me given how similar humans are to at least other mammals, specifically in the neural structures we believe to be where emotions arise and in the behaviours we believe to be emotionally driven, we should strongly suspect they have emotions highly comparable to us and not the reverse.
Why would the default assumption be they don't?
I'm bored of this. I thought you had interesting opinions, sorry for my mistake.
Depression, anxiety, dementia and chronic liver disease are emerging as some of the fastest-growing chronic conditions.
Woooh yeah deaths of despair baby!
Society is going strooooong
All we've done is massively increase inequality, poisoned the world, taken an axe to social services, and let everyone get infected with a virus that causes cumulative brain and heart damage. Who could have predicted this?
I'm shocked, shocked and appalled I tell you.
I miss thinking the future was gonna get better but neoliberalism had entrenched itself so firmly in politics/APS/economics most people don't even realise it's an ideology and not fact, most of the contamination (plastics, pfas, agrichems) are long lived and we're also dependant on them, and climate change is about to get mega spicy if the models are correct and Indonesian, Indian, and islander people are gonna be (rightly) demanding some of this continent's habitable land.
interesting times ahead for us!
it's not an analogy it's a thought experiment. I am trying to understand the shape of your ideas.
So the ability to feel pain is harmed by cybernetics? division from a whole (still no idea what you mean specifically there in the absence of localised organs)? and if you're going to die in about an hour?
Millions of addicts can't be wrong!
