thinking about the ethics of prophecy and its role as a narrative tool of coercion and control again

The inherent conflict of being alive is that your cells just love water. Great stuff for cells. Excellent for transporting things around in, really helps counteract gravity and make that 3rd dimension fully accessible. You as an organism however, want atmosphere. It's got all those awesome gases, like oxygen. Those gases are great! But they're not very good at getting in the water. Lots more of them outside the water.

Now some organisms went ahead and said "well, our cells want to be in the water, we're made of cells, we're staying in the water". And I respect that! Gotta respect that. Lots of 'em stick to the surface, get a little bit of the good gases, but keep themselves nice and watered up (wet) to keep their cells happy. Some make do with whatever cool gases have managed to dissolve into the water, thanks to a process known as "churning that shit up" that happens on the water's surface. Doesn't work out great for them, but you know, they made their decision and they committed to it. You gotta respect that.

Now some organisms, especially a lot of old ones, were afraid of commitment. They hung out at the water's edge, breathing all the gases and shit, but still needed to make sure they could stay wet. Like, their plan was to leave the water, but stay wet. Not a great move, if you ask me. Usually it works, but only until it doesn't. You ever seen dried up moss? Ask it how it's "stay wet but not in water" plan went. It can't answer you. It fucked up. That's what you get for not committing.

Now trees though, trees had the other idea. Trees and some other plants were like, no problem. I'm gonna take my water with me and never ever let it go. They developed specialized cells and shit. They got whole layers dedicated to keeping the water the fuck in. They got other cells dedicated to hunting down any water in a square fuckometer and taking it for themselves. That's hustle. That's a game plan. Some plants got so good at it they saw these dry-ass stretches of land that saw rain less often than you saw your mother smile as a child and were like "okay but is the amount of water not literally zero? Yeah? We're good."

The moving orgisms tried to copy trees, naturally. Making hard outer layers to trap the water in for their cells. But it was pretty weak. They kept going on about needing holes for the moisture to leave, and wet surfaces for their eyeballs. Then some of us got stupid and decided maybe we only needed like a half-decent layer protecting our water. "Semi-permeable" they marketed it as. Oh it's fine they said. We'll live somewhere wet, they said. Yeah how'd that work out for that moss again.

And now I get a headache if I go like 3 hours without drinking a glass of water. I should've been a pine tree.

John Oliver gets it, as usual. AI Slop is one of the best episodes of Last Week Tonight I've seen so far. Gen AI is theft. Those who use it are not authors or artists, they're grifters profiting from real creatives.

MY OVARIES!!!!!!

[jokersjunkpile]

Please read, because this is actually very important.

A friend and I actually did a lot of research into the effects of rabies, following the release of the Milwaukee Protocol album. It's not often that I respond to large posts like this (especially since they have nothing to do with me), but I did want to clear up one thing.

Rabies does NOT cause a fear of water. This is a misconception.

What's really going on is that rabies often causes muscle spasms throughout the body, which is part of why animals infected with it act so erratically at times. (If you've ever seen that video of a rabbit flopping around like a fish towards the cameraman, you know what I mean. If not, be glad you haven't.) These muscle spasms will often occur in the throat when an infected person or animal tries to drink water, causing them to choke. The choking every time they try to drink is what makes you scared of drinking the water, not the virus itself.

And that's not even the worst part!

Once the symptoms of Rabies begin presenting themselves, it's already too late, and the vaccine cannot help you. The only current treatment that has worked is the Milwaukee Protocol-- Which is essentially getting put into a medically induced coma. Even if you were to end up being one of the few in the WORLD to survive a rabies infection, your mental capacity would be significantly reduced, and it would take many, many years to recover from it.

And also, rabies isn't just transferred through bites, but through the bodily fluids of animals. So, for example, if an infected cat has licked its claws, and then scratched you, the disease could still be transmitted to you. This is why as soon as you've been injured by an unfamiliar animal, you need to go to the hospital immediately after to get treated. This will save your life.

I don't know as much about treatment for pets, but I do know that if one of your animals is at risk for contracting rabies after an attack from a wild animal, you should at the very least quarantine them from your other pets and contact a vet for further information.

Be safe around wild critters, don't delay when you've been injured by one, and do your research on rabies! Not a lot of people understand it right, and the truth is more horrifying than the public perception of it will ever be.

@pixelfont52 please let me know/feel free to correct me if I missed anything or got something wrong. You know more about this than I do

I think if you try to wiggle out of getting your dog vaccinated for rabies due to your own anti-vax beliefs, you should be forced to watch footage of a dog succumbing to rabies and the pathological process of taking brain tissue from a suspected canine rabies victim. I really think treating these people with kid gloves is not working and they need to viscerally see what the consequences of their actions can be.
