Thank you. I’m always so fascinated by different superstitions.

To invite the devil in? Or is this a different superstition?

Where I’m at, family can supercede a DNR. The rate of OHCA survival is so low anyway that it usually doesn’t make a difference. Emotions are so high and so raw, even when it’s an expected death, that I don’t blame anyone for anything done or said at that time. It’s been rare that I’ve seen it done- the most common reason for not following a DNR is that no one can find it. Second most is it was filled out incorrectly or not the actual official document.

You’re not wrong. The parents chose not to vaccinate, and vaccines almost certainly would have prevented this outcome. Where I’m struggling is the “serves them right” attitude when it wasn’t the parents who paid for their mistake- it was a small child with no say in the matter. It’s possible to feel anger towards the parents (though it doesn’t change anything at this point) and still have empathy for the actual victim.

Have you seen them violated often?

Sorry, what do you mean their choice? I hope by them you mean the parents, because the poor girl had no chance.

Cthulhu is a priest whose role is to summon the ancient ones. In this context he is the middleman.

Hayao Miyazaki’s art style specifically has so much life injected into it, that you would have to be incredibly specific to even approach his style.

There’s an instance that stands out in Spirited Away, when Chihiro is putting on her shoes, she taps the toes of one foot against the ground to set it on correctly. A miniscule detail, but one that makes her feel more real. You’d need such an elaborate prompt to make that happen via AI, but thats the kind of detail that he includes in his movies. To him, the thought of having “someone” illustrate that who has never put their shoe on incorrectly and had to fix it is beyond inauthentic. That’s my take. Less about the worry of technology taking over, and more about the technology not understanding the language it’s being taught, because it can’t.

I understand that many people have an incorrect understanding of DEI (and at times have had experience with it being incorrectly applied). I was actually hoping to learn where this particular person learned their viewpoint to have a conversation.

Genuine curiosity here- where did you get your definition of DEI?

Flames! Flames on the side of my face!

Robin Hood only took money from the rich. Luigi took life (allegedly), and scared the other rich folks enough to allow some life (healthcare) for the plebs for some short time.

I think it’s Jaguar. They’re doing a bonkers rebranding right now where you can’t tell what the ads are trying to sell.

But that’s why you do a single snow pea, with a repeater behind. Until you can save up for winter melons, then you replace 3/5 sunflowers with them in the back row and have two rows of repeaters. Then some tall nuts and spikeweed (my beloved).

GATTACA! GATTACA!
