This made me wonder do uncontacted peoples have microplastics in them in large amounts like we all do? Like say the Sentinelese, for instance? I’m sure they do have some at least, despite them not using it, but maybe not nearly to the extent we do? This isn’t me advocating for using uncontacted peoples for studies and so on, obviously that’s not a moral way to go at all. Just a curiosity thing. If so, then if this is the huge ticking time bomb we suspect it might be then maybe we’ll all die off and they’ll be pretty much the only ones left. Maybe even unaware for the most part that we all died off. Yeah I’m just rambling at this point…

I imagine it’s meant to look cyberpunk or whatever. But it just looks like something a teenager would scratch into a school desk

Can she just fade into complete obscurity already? Would’ve thought that would be what she’d want to do given her husband is gunna be a big name in the Epstein files, and possibly also her too

Between 5-7. My body likes choosing the 5 when I have important stuff to do the next day or I need to be up early

Apparently him losing his Duke of York title would actually require Parliament to approve. Those would be some interesting debates to watch, if any insane person were to go against it

Ok but I’m not sure personally what my other option is? Of course there’s buying the music directly, which good on people for doing that. It is the best and most ethical way. But something I always find kinda frustrating about the “just buy your own music” comments that are always all over these posts is I have a very wide music taste and really like to keep up with new music too. I have over 12,000 songs saved on Spotify. I’m also broke, jobless and homeless. I’m sorry but doing that isn’t a viable option for me. I would love to be able to support all these artists but the best I can do is play their music a lot on Spotify and spread the word about them to others. I also go to a lot of gigs but so many acts that I like are big enough that they play big venues and are very expensive to see because of it.

I already did this. I joined both, paid them money and then found out they were lacking these features after doing so. I gave them the feedback. Unfortunately the lack of them really gets in the way of how I like to listen to music. I’m sure others will be feeding back the same

Yeah I also saw that Tidal had announced they’d be scaling back the amount of funding on development fairly recently before I tried them out. Which didn’t fill me with much hope. But I’ve not written them off at all. It’s not like Spotify is really raising the bar at all these days anyway

As soon as Tidal or Qobuz add a couple real key functionalities that Spotify has but they don’t I’m switching right over

Ahhh I see from the coverage I’ve heard on this it seemed that people were thinking her appeal was her last chance and if she did go to prison then there’s no chance she’d be allowed to live. That she’d be doing all this going after appeals and a presidential pardon with the “if you don’t give me this, I’m going to tell the world all I know” angle. I guess maybe she could have done that but they called her bluff and threatened her back and she decided living the rest of her life in a comfy prison was better than death? I dunno, correct me if there’s reason not to think that

Please excuse my ignorance but why is that? Genuinely curious

Enjoy “committing suicide” in prison, you demon

This will likely get buried in all the other replies and you may well have already done what I suggest. But I have to say this because it doesn’t seem (from me skim reading anyway) that anyone else has really touched on this but have you been to a psychiatrist, ideally more than one? Done any research yourself beyond just the depression?

I ask because it seems like so many people just label themselves as having depression and that’s it. They don’t think about there being an underlying cause that has to be examined and worked on/healed, they only focus on that one depression symptom.

I’m a huge example of this, I’m in my early 30s and spent my whole adulthood so far thinking I just had depression and anxiety, that’s it. A few years ago I found out I had ADHD and thought that was the answer. But it really wasn’t what was causing bad feeling so much. And so over the past year I discovered I have CPTSD. Bad. A lot of trauma over my life that I wasn’t aware of and living as a shame-bound person was making me feel, think and behave the way I do, for the most part. Knowing that made it so much easier to know what path to take to heal.

And in contrast to what so many others have said here, I’ve healed for the most part and it happened very suddenly, over the course of a month or so actually. I won’t go into details as it’s long and not needed but yeah it came from going through a very horrible, abusive struggle for most of the past two years. I got out of it and did had many realisations about myself and life because of it. I saw that, despite what I thought all those years, I am a strong and good person and my life is, in fact, beautiful. It’s like I can hear music and see colour again after so many years without. I’ve never felt so genuinely happy and contended with myself and life. That’s simplifying it too, I could write an essay on my experience and the difference

There’s still more work to be done, of course, but I was blown away by how much change I’ve felt and in such a short space of time. This isn’t me saying you should seek out and also go through some terrible ordeal at all, of course. I just wanted to get across the importance of looking at potential underlying causes and mental conditions, not just trying to treat one or two symptoms. And also that healing isn’t always a slow, linear journey. There are people who have major depression and take a psychedelic once and they don’t feel that major depression ever again after. The human psyche is a powerful and not well understood thing that has a huge range of difference from person to person
