>Opinions that seem too radical or stupid to be believed are often bots, or NPC humans repeating bot content that they read somewhere else.
You forget to mention trolls. The best way to handle a NPC propaganda parrot is to deliver them an even more foul piece of propaganda and observe .. vs disagreeing with them, that they would enjoy.
> some immigrants about what brought them to the United States in the first place.
What brought them to the US is that if they have a kid, now their kid is a citizen. Green card etc waived - you wouldn't deport a family would you? Now they nominally have zero income so they qualify for full on super duper welfare - food, house, medical care. Of course find a job, too - but has to be under the table because no green card. Meaning no taxes either. So free food, free house no rent, free medicine, no taxes. Medical care legally requires accomodations for foreign languages - don't need to speak English either.
I mean, if Japan said, "if you have a kid here, live here on our dime, eat on our dime, free medical care, no taxes" yea I would take that deal!! Can't blame em
Irony of the whole thing? This actually kinda solves the population crisis. Forces people to have a kid. Actually an interesting finding but poorly explored since the powers that be like to bury their head in the sand and pretend 50 million people haven't exploited this.
Other point is well, why did this even happen? Well, the landlords are quite happy to see the feds paying for rent, they'll collect that check, as with the food suppliers and the medical care practitioners - a very nice niche. And the small businesses are more than happy to pay someone under the table untaxed, lower overhead. So the people coming in illegally, they benefit, the people collecting the taxes paying for them, they benefit, everybody else, welp, there goes your tax money
You missed the part where those workers power large sectors of the US economy.
You think produce gets picked, meat processed, and/or construction completed without immigrant labor?
If the plan is to clamp down on illegal immigration, then immigration reform to loosen the legal pathways for low wage labor needs to be passed at the same time.
> interpersonal conflict
low probability in this case because this guy seems a repeat offender but absolutely things can get that toxic and ugly
> trying to beat the other student to the punch w.r.t publication,
this is my highest suspicion. Why is anxiety. Deep anxiety. Anxiety about failing. Anxiety about the other guy beating you. Sabotaging other guys's computer alleviates the anxiety so thusly becomes a repeat pattern. Anxiety can be quite insidious and nasty and is more pervasive in more ways than many are aware.
> good ol' schizophrenic delusions that the person's work needs to be stopped
possible but more rare
I get gummies at 2000000000 IU and that's not even the final form of my vitamin
Also what's an IU. Apparently it's meant to normalize impact across vitamin D species of which there are multiple. Part of me can see the reasoning but it runs contrary to how much of medicine/pharma operates, generally in such form as either mg per time interval or mg/kg per time interval. It would be like taking the whole armada of blood pressure drugs and dictating their doses in mmHg instead of milligrams. If only things were so simple!
I had giardia one time .. actually I still have it :(
I went to see the physician to treat it, a MD, at least I thought. The doc said he wanted to give me "ivermectin" to eliminate the infection(!!!). Ivermectin(!?!). is this a weird COVID quack? I don't see how a HORSE DEWORMER has any place in human medicine - I'd rather keep the giardia, thanks, then take some quack horse dewormer drug
Speaking as a person of color, the government Oak Park prosecuted me for reasons of my blackness which is racist. The controversey that followed, if you ask me, is why the cameras got shot down. Transparency and not being big brother is just a convenient excuse to put a positive spin on it, as politicians do.
Knowing in extreme and annoying detail exactly the series of events that led us to kill our Flock contract, I do not believe this is at all true. I don't think trolling is a good plan here.
there's a bunch of BS going on with autism that I find very obnoxious
1) I see autism as non-verbal, no concept that other people or conscious minds exist. That's what -actual- autism is to me. And there are plenty of people like that.
2) In light of the above definition, I see the concept of "autism is on a spectrum" as extremely disrespectful to both autists and non-autists. For example, if I have a deformed pinky toe I'm not now on the "paraplegic spectrum disorder". If my IQ is 99 I'm not on the "braindead spectrum disorder" and so on. Such a system applies a negative label to people with the most extreme form, and simultaneous everyone else gets a taste of that label too.
3) the above smooshiness of definition has caused autism to be embraced by people - people who have legitimate mental disorders - just not autism. Moreso the cluster B family of disorders i.e. the manipulative and dramatic family. They are "neurodivergent" vs "neurotypical" and now they have just conjured manipulative leverage from thin air.
just to go off of this, I'm not bipolar but I feel we need to also consider more severe mental disorders. For example I have multiple personality disorder
Hello, I also have multiple personality order aka dissociative identity disorder, where by multiple people live in the same body
