#data is srs bsns

[seasonallydefective]

This, exactly. I need to dredge up sources but it wasn’t that long ago that there were huge issues over things like the FB Messenger app accessing the microphone without telling you that was randomly happening (and after that, phones rolled out updates where apps had to say what they were accessing and you had to explicitly give permission). Apple also clashed with the government a while back when they refused to give back doors into their phones. These were big news because of US privacy laws.

Plenty of things still legally data harvest (if you aren’t using a tracker blocker or something like Ad Nauseam that fucks up any ad profile companies try to build on you, you should be) and something needs to be done about that across the board. But TikTok has bigger concerns than just run of the mill data harvesting.

I’m sure that all sorts of Trojan bullshit has been added to that TikTok bill, but in general, concern about what exactly the app is gathering, and what it’s doing with that data, is VERY warranted.

Nothing like the people on this website that don’t know anything about the TikTok “ban” and the fact that it’s idk…….. Chinese spyware and idk if yall know this but the US isn’t exactly friends with China but oh no that could never be a conflict of interest

Hi Miceál, this comes from a 13 year old person who also happens to have friends who are the same age as I. Being 13 years old does not make you a clueless baby who just can't tell good from bad. Sure, we may not be al developed (both mentally and physically), but we still have an idea that some things are simply fucked up. What BlueSpike did is NOT justified by his age, my friends, classmates and I can all agree that what he did to Chris is incredibly horrifying. My friends and I believe that BlueSpike is either a sociopath or grew up in a really violent environment where these type of actions are normal (maybe both).

I know you're not trying to justify BlueSpike's actions, but I just wanted to make that clear. This goes to anyone who believes he didn't know what he was doing: We 13 years old very much can tell that making a mentally disabled person shove an incredibly important and emotional object right up his ass is sexual assault and something that makes you deserve hell.

hey! apologies if I came across as saying "oh, he was 13, they don't know any better!" because that's definitely not what I was trying to say. I know that a vast majority of 13-year-olds would never do anything like that, and certainly they understand right from wrong. I'll do my best to better explain what it is I meant by that.

if you're 13 now, that means you were being born around 2008/2009. this is about the same time as I started hanging out with trolls online. something I cannot stress enough is how different the internet was then. I'm sure you've seen it yourself already: things change online, and they change fast. back in the late 00s, it was utter chaos of a very specific variety. a lot of phrases that you see in common use today, in a completely joking sense, were at least semi-serious then: "serious business"/"srs bsns" (from "the internet is serious business!") was used to ridicule people who thought online activity mattered irl, for example. there was a complete disconnect between online personas and offline identities -- something which your generation is unfortunately being robbed of. using your real name online was damn near unheard of, and anonymity was the norm. you would simply not know a thing about your online friends, except maybe the country they came from.

I'm sure you're wondering why this is relevant, and here's the reason: because of the sense of anonymity, people online felt invincible. in a way, they were. it was very difficult to trace activity back to a user, and you must understand that there were nearly no irl laws regarding the internet. if you bullied somebody online to the extent they harmed themselves, well. there was no law for that. technically, you had committed no crimes. likewise, stuff like doxxing (finding out and posting a person's irl identity) and ddos'ing (spamming a website with nonsense traffic until its servers crashed) were not punished at all, or only on the cusp of being punished. people were absolutely mad with power, and unbelievable shit was going down. people were hacking into government websites and business websites for data, or newspaper sites to post fake stories. it was unbelievable, and because there were very few irl laws in place, it really did seem like nothing would be punished. therefore, a lot of people felt that the internet -- and what you did on it -- was not real.

this is the context in which Chris Chan was being trolled: a completely anonymous wild west of people who did not have to fear consequences and, as a result of spending nearly all their time online, had ceased to realise that the internet was still real life. Chris Chan was not a person to them. Chris was a source of entertainment, and when the trolls shut down their computers each night (or, more likely, each early morning) Chris stopped existing for them. she was more like a fictional character on a TV show: there when the TV was booted up, gone when it was off. this was totally normal behaviour for the time in these circles, because nobody saw the internet as being real, and even more normal people still saw the internet (and everyone on it, aside from close friends) as removed from their real, offline life. remember: Facebook was in its infancy, and pretty much nobody had it in comparison to now. Twitter was just a silly little site where nothing of note happened and certainly huge political events weren't organised or played out there. YouTube was just past preventing you from uploading videos over 10 minutes long, and Instagram was nothing. social media as we knew it did not exist. people went to the internet to be someone else, and, often, to get away with stuff they wouldn't get away with irl.

so what does being 13 have to do with it? well, to put it frankly: when you're 13, you're a child. you make rash decisions, and some people mature more slowly than others. a 13-year-old, in this lawless place, would not make the same decisions as an adult, and especially not a 13-year-old boy. it is beyond question that children of this age can be particularly sadistic -- anyone who's been bullied in middle school can tell you that for a fact. it's also known that boys mature slower, and make decisions with less thought. they also have difficultly seeing far ahead -- something all teenagers struggle with, because when you're a teenager you feel invincible. 20 feels old. why worry? in fact, area of the brain that deals with forward planning and consequences is so underdeveloped in young men and boys that car insurance, at least in my country, is more expensive for young men than young women, purely because young men are more susceptible to showing off, taking things too far, and not thinking things through.

when I mentioned BlueSpike's age, I didn't mean to imply that all 13-year-olds would think this behaviour was OK. many 13-year-olds wouldn't. but for a 13-year-old boy, in this environment, detached from reality and in a world where everyone gets on like it's one big video game... he will, in all likelihood, not realise the consequences of his actions. things progress, things get out of control, he's on a high, he feels like he's interacting with someone who isn't even real, it's on the internet and Nothing Matters, and to a 13-year-old boy, inappropriate things are funny. many boys this age make highly off-colour jokes, use slurs, and really push the boundaries of acceptable behaviour. again, not all, but anyone who's been to school knows people of this type. many of these boys grow into perfectly normal young men. it's just the process of growing up, developing greater empathy, and learning more about the world around you.

so when I said that I hoped BlueSpike was just being a 13-year-old, what I meant was that I hoped he was immature, caught up in a crazy environment which I really cannot even begin to explain to those who weren't there, and acted rashly and in the spur of the moment. I hope that he went away from that incident feeling a little confused and uncomfortable about his actions and, more importantly, the reactions of the other trolls -- because kids of that age, doing that kind of thing, are deep down almost always looking for approval and to impress others. I hope that as he grew and matured, he realised more and more how inappropriate what he did was. I hope that he experienced disgust and guilt over what he did to Chris, and I hope it shames him to this day, and I hope it's led him to becoming a better person.

I didn't mean to say that all 13-year-olds don't understand that this is wrong. I simply meant to say that I hope he was just 13, with all the mistakes one can easily make at that age and in the wrong company, and that he grew out of it and became a regular human being. the alternative is much too disturbing to want to think about: he was either severely unbalanced, an abused child, or both. and if he grew into an adult without realising how wrong what he did was, it means there's still a chance he's hurting someone. if he was just a dumb 13-year-old making stupid mistakes to be cool on the internet, who then pushed it too far and got his fingers burned? that means he isn't hurting anyone anymore, and he's experiencing at least some punishment for what he did to Chris, even if only at the hands of his own conscience.

It’s the return of the OG MVPs Kent and Trilomon and...well...they’re barely in this thing. But they still deserve a shoutout. Kent has a beard now so you know this is srs bsns More information under the break:

Kent

Full Name: Kent Carter-Evans

Age: 22

Hair: Black

Eyes: Dark Brown

Height: 6'4"

Partner: Trilomon

Personality

When the world is changing around you, it can pay to be proactive. Since the journey in the digital world that changed his life, Kent has stepped forwards to investigate the anomalies and events that have led to the worlds linking up, and the possible ramifications that will come from this. He's become a conscientious man, driven and determined to make the right decisions, although his new concentration on the digital world has led to him remaining at arms length from those he cares about, and has distracted him from mending rifts and dealing with issues that are far closer to home. Still, he's much more approachable than he used to be, and does his best to make life easy for the tamers, even when he himself is required for other, more secretive purposes far overseas. He's still distant, and has a big picture view of the world that can lead to shadier decisions than you might hope for. But when the chips are down, it's reassuring to know when you have a man like Kent fighting your corner.

Family:

Trilomon

Pronunciation: TRY-low-mon

Name origin: Trilobite, a prehistoric arthropod resembling a woodlouse

Family: Jungle Troopers

Type: Insect

Stage: Rookie

Attribute: Data

Height: 2'11" Partner: Kent Personality

No matter how far embroiled you get in secret projects, you always need a faithful companion by your side. Trilomon has stuck with Kent through thick and thin; acting as loyal confidant, rubber duck, and when the need arises (re: Kent forgetting basic human interaction) as an honest conscience to keep him on the straight and narrow. The two work remarkably well together, sharing ideas and thoughts and bouncing off one another as brothers do.

As for himself, Trilomon has become much more outgoing since the inferno, and has expanded his own knowledge and experience to become nearly as smart as his partner. He has a cheery, bubbly personality and wants to do right by everybody he meets. Mature, balanced, and respectful to the end; Trilomon will forever be a true and noble warrior, no matter how far he goes to be by his partner's side.

Attacks

  Rolling Blade

 Trilomon launches himself from the ground and rolls up into a spinning ball of sharpened armour. He then crashes into the opponent.

  Shell Sword

 Trilomon’s front claws extend and sharpen, allowing him to hack and stab at his opponent.

Attacks

    Bone Dagger

 Arthmon rolls up, before firing the blade from the end of his tail at his opponent.

~

Oh dearie me Kent, what manner of secrets have you found yourself mixed up in this time?

I'm a fool to myself. This is the best Trilomon has ever looked and he's barely in this thing.

This profile may seem redundant as, in true Digimon fashion, I've taken one of the OG tamers and put him on a bus to America for most of the series. But, much like Aaron, and he does still have a role, and I would be remiss if I didn't give him an update and a proper character sheet.

If for no other reason than to show off the beard. All hail the beard.

Focus on Your Focus - MAKE YOUR EMOTIONAL FOCUS POSITIVE TO BE HEALTHY NOT JUST TO BE HAPPY

“A specific cause and effect relationship exists between the pattern of negative emotions a person focuses on and the diseases produced in the body.”

The independent variable is the pattern of negative emotions being focused up and the dependent variable is the physical disease produced in the body by the action of the autonomic nervous system and the somatic system which receive signals in the form of sensations or electric impulses, from the brain.

Data will be collected for three diseases- e.g. Asthma , Arthritis and Diabetes from about 25 people.

Further rationale is explained through the following Excerpt from the BOOK – EMOTIONAL MANAGEMENT

“When our body organs start malfunctioning as in diseases, pains and aches, the subconscious mind is held responsible for the problems. However, the problems in our physical body are a physical manifestation of a negative emotional state of mind.

For example, diabetes occurs when a person feels wronged by his environment. The person typically feels frustrated after a self-imposed, rigorous, unrewarding routine and has a deep desire to rest which s/he ignores. Feelings of guilt, self-reproach and disappointment with the world, continue over a prolonged period of time before physical symptoms begin to develop. A feeling of exhaustion comes due to an emotional conflict between balancing different aspects of life. Body symptoms are created such that insulin (a component of   life-force energy) stops flowing adequately to all organs of the body in response to the person feeling that s/he is not doing justice to all aspects of his life.

The person eats in an undisciplined manner out of a need for comfort but feels worse because the digestive system cannot take the strain due to deficiency of insulin.

In the cure of diabetes, disciplined eating, long walks, acknowledgement of self-achievements and meditation help to regain control of life. Eating less and more frequently is better than taking large meals which stress the body. Deconditioning from a traditional heavy  eating habit helps because it makes the person feel emotionally free while relaxing the stomach. Meditation without allowing the mind to worry for the allotted time along with self-praise/ acknowledgement of efforts already made by the self, help to reduce harmful effects of negative thinking.

But, if the person takes no care to discipline his habits and keeps worrying while meditating or taking medicines, the mind remains stressed and the body feels sick. Negative thinking keeps blocking the flow of positive hormones and reinforcing the physical symptoms of deficiency in the body.

Therapy helps in erasing the mind’s habit of guilt and self –reproach by deactivating a negative thinking energy circuit from the subconscious mind while a new energy circuit of positive thinking is installed in its place for regenerating the cellular subconscious programme which ensures an adequate flow of insulin that controls diabetes naturally.

Similar to diabetes, other chronic diseases are a physical manifestation of a specific focus on negative feelings underlined in the routine thought processes.

Illustrated briefly –

Asthma is a result of constantly feeling emotionally suffocated, non-understood and chained. If emotional guidance is given with medication, effects of medications would be much. Without the use of medication, treatment can use naturopathy and para psychology. Asthma reduces by undertaking past life therapy. Asthma  usually has past lives attached where the person may have died by drowning, poisoning, being suffocated to death in burial etc. Asthma heals by freeing the spirit from feeling breathless by releasing the wounded soul by viewing past life memories and addressing emotionally similar present life problems which make the person trigger awake the energy circuit of memories of death by suffocation. However, even after viewing past lives, emotional counselling is required to help the person cope with present life problems with an optimistic spirit.

Arthritis involves rigidity of thinking and a feeling that one is unable to move ahead in life as desired. This rigidity in thinking patterns has to be addressed for arthritis to heal.

Throat problems reflect an inability to communicate clearly etc. For example, patients with thyroid report a problem in expressing themselves freely, suppressed anger felt in interactions with family members or work colleagues and ambitions of singing or expressing vocally which remain unfulfilled. Circumstances which inhibit speaking lead to throat problems etc. and counselling is required to help the person cope emotionally.

The exact emotional causes of the disease in each person have to be specifically found through therapeutic intervention for the energy circuits of the disease to clear and positive signals to flow in the neurotransmitters of the autonomic nervous system of the person. It has been found that receptive signals are inhibited in people having stress disorders.

Through therapy, our subconscious mind can be directed to stop manifesting physical problems by manifesting a positive shift in thinking patterns. Healing happens through a process which involves transcending the negative energy created in our mind into neutral or positive. The essential requirement is to simultaneously make a conscious effort to release focus on negative energies from the mind, while taking medicines to heal the body.”

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Excerpt from the book, EMOTIONAL MANAGEMENT by Shiva Swati, published in  2017

https://www.amazon.com/ENERGY-MANAGEMENT-Control-Emotions-Programming-ebook/dp/B01D1496E2/ref=sr_1_9?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1539940089&sr=1-9&keywords=shiva+swati

Thus, it can be established that , all physical organs have an emotional component attached whose functioning the organ is responsible for. For example, throat is responsible for free speaking and expression. An inability to express one’s mind freely restrains the organ and creates diseases like asthma or thyroid.

To illustrate further, “if a patient comes for curing of asthma, it is found that she feels emotionally suppressed in speaking freely with her family members along with feeling extreme exhaustion and helplessness in coping with her circumstances. Thus, there are breathing problems in her throat. A typical patient of asthma feels tired of his/her responsibilities, has respiratory problems, and feels suffocated, as s/he decides on her own that she has no freedom to express her needs as nobody is interested in hearing her problems. The pessimism affects the recreative hormones ,thus impacting the organs which are for respiration and  for speaking. Once s/he is given counselling to be optimistic, take rest and express the self through different means, it has an effect of reducing the wrath of asthma along with the other medication taken; but without focusing on emotional healing & release, just the steroids do not help for long term in improving breathing abilities as the problems recur. This emotional healing effect is more permanent than just medical treatment.

Medical treatment supplements emotional counselling but cannot substitute it. Likewise, emotional counselling can be complemented with medical treatment wherever para psychology is unacceptable. “ (How to Be Happy In Difficulties, Published Book, By Shiva Swati, 2015 )

Anotther study by Dr. Hedaya (2010) which examines insulin resistance, diabetes and mental health, says that:

“The connection between obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes and mental health problems is no longer questioned. There are number of reasons for the association, including the use of psychotropic medications which cause weight gain, and promote the metabolic syndrome; the social stigma associated with obesity and the lifestyle changes associated with diabetes; and inflammatory activation due to poor diet, high insulin and glucose levels, which in turn changes brain neurochemistry.

A recent study (McIntyre et al. brain volume abnormalities and neurocognitive deficits in diabetes mellitus: points of pathophysiological commonality with mood disorders?: Adv. Ther. 2010 Feb;27(2):63-80. ) reviewed the literature on brain changes in type one and two diabetes, and concluded that the brain areas which are affected in mood disorders and DM diabetes mellitus, significantly overlap. The association is so compelling that one article in 2007 (Ann. Clin. Psychiatry; 2007 Oct-Dec;1994):257-64) was titled: "Should Depressive Syndromes Be Reclassified as "Metabolic Syndrome Type II". The association with diabetes (and obesity and insulin resistance) extends beyond just mood disorders, to anxiety disorders, and major psychiatric syndromes such as bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.”

A study in 2017 by Rachel Nall, RN, BSN, CCRN, reviewed by Suzanne Falck, MD, FACP, researched on

1.             Diabetes and mood swings

2.            Effect of diabetes on mental health

The study through surveys, established that :

“Diabetes is a condition that impacts the way a person's body uses sugar for energy. However, diabetes affects much more than blood sugar. It can impact nearly every body system and have an effect on a person's mood.

Stress associated with managing diabetes as well as concerns about potential side effects can all contribute to changes in mood. In addition, the actual highs and lows of blood sugar levels may also cause nervousness, anxiety, and confusion. It is important for people to recognize their own individual symptoms of high or low blood sugar. They must also ensure they seek support for any concerning mental health symptoms they might experience.”

A study By Marga Frontera/Getty, conducted in 20o9, on Arthritis and its effects on mental health says that  :

“Chronic pain conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis can hurt mental health.

People who live with chronic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis may experience more than physical pain and disability. Their illness could also affect their mental health. While sometimes the illness directly causes mental health issues, more often than not they arise because of the changes brought about by chronic illness.”

Similarly , other diseases can be diagnosed as having a link with emotional/mental problems.

A study on Breathing Disorders, Asthma, by “The Michael E. DeBakey Veterans Affairs Medical Center (MEDVAMC) in  2012 observed that :

The prevalence of anxiety and depression was measured in a large sample of persons with a chronic breathing disorder diagnosis who received care at the MEDVAMC, using the Primary Care Evaluation of Mental Disorders (PRIME-MD) screening questions. The positive predictive value of the PRIME-MD questions was then determined. The prevalence of anxiety and depressive diagnoses in patients determined to have COPD was then measured, using the Structured Clinical Interview for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (SCID)

Results

Of patients screened with the PRIME-MD, 80% screened positive for depression, anxiety, or both. The predictive value of a positive phone screen for either depression or anxiety was estimated to be 80%. In the subsample of patients who had COPD and received a diagnosis using the SCID, 65% received an anxiety and/or depressive disorder diagnosis. Of those patients, only 31% were receiving treatment for depression and/or anxiety

Conclusions

It is troubling that a mere 31% of COPD patients with depression or anxiety are being treated, particularly given their high prevalence in this population. Practical screening instruments may help increase the recognition of anxiety and depression in medical patients, as suggested by the excellent positive predictive value of the PRIME-MD in our study.
