I ended up talking to the parents and they say that if the sensations don’t end by the end of the week they will look at asking about non stimulants with her doctor.

Thank you.

I didnt say as good and I don’t think it invalidated my opinion. I am say that their day to day was not just tragedy and to define them solely by that is akin to saying survivors of abuse are always defined by it.

Yes we have gotten better access to food and better medicine but if our day to day has less humanity in it we are allowed to have issue with it.

Its a disservice to say we can’t be upset about our reality because people died in the past. Not every day of their life was tragedy they had days they laughed and people created and lived all the same, and not every moment of ours is better just because we have cheetos and epidurals. Its like saying we have to eat our dinner of razor blades cause a child is starving in Africa. Its bitter and doesnt help them or us.

Meh, just cause someone tried to do something nice for us doesnt mean the outcome actually was. We can keep adjusting and trying find what actually is good for people as a whole instead of free of effort.

I don’t know but I don’t think its bad to have the opinion of the recipient as well, and its not like every day was a horror for them anymore than it is for ours. It ebbs and flows but if we made a wrong turn we can do our part to correct it.

To a horrifying degree, work does define the human experience. Removing it isn’t lucky but a part of who we are being removed and I the name of a nameless idea’s of perfection. And I think its realism not pessimism to recognize that.

Hmm. Yeah, we as a society want people who can at tedium repeat a basic task and then not interact with the world much more than that or what is sold to them.

So I wouldn’t say easy as much as easy as it is very difficult for those with it but simplified. And the toys we have created to play with to distract them/us from how basic our life is are incredibly dangerously good at mimicking progress.

Oh… Ew.

She was never able to voice the issue just said it was scary so… Thank you.

Yeah we don’t exactly have an equal world. Or one that even allows for much deviation without heavy punishment as basically seen by… Well above comment.

Yup, but being a parent doesnt make you know things and “the doctor said we should expect this” makes apparently people (at least these ones close to me) complacent to the harm. I am just against the suffering and it makes me upset. While I know this isn’t a likely common story its one that is close to home and happening so… Yeah. I dunno. It does at least once. I am happy you are on the right side of empathy to try again with something new to help someone. There should never be 1 answer only and it feels wrong to just accept it.
I dunno this is such a failure of people with authority in my case but authority figure doesnt mean all knowing. And I have no authority to make it stop.

Yeah, the parents were warned about the night terrors and supposedly hanging outside the room to be there to cuddle her as soon as she starts screaming is enough to subside them and get her back to bed but jeeze that is a horrible symptom to be ok with or even struggle through. Flailing and scratching, if it leaves marks I would call that instastop bad.

I am on the side of med swap but they supposedly like the results of the medication otherwise which I feel is not worth it.

Sounds rough. Don’t take it out on me.

The night terrors came after starting the medication.

But also yeah, some real bullshit with the school and the teacher. The only thing on record was that she was obstinent and difficult to deal with. Due to multiple issues with apparently that she was expelled. But afterwards her friends came forward to ask if it was about her being hit that she wasnt in class anymore.

Its honestly bad all around.

That wasnt stated. You are not responding to me but your own internal issues with other conversations

I know a 5 year old that the teachers at her private school complained that they were spending to much time talking to other children instead of doing school work so the teachers recommended that she be put on medication.

Now apparently she just has horrible night terrors that has her rip at her skin each night but she’s much more calm now… Anyways the teacher ended up hitting her and the 5 year old got expelled for being a nuisance anyways.

Do we ever stop and think that the negative consequences are from our newly constructed hyper engagement focused society?
And maybe we are blaming the individuals for failing to live up to an impossible standard of productivity at the behest of our abusers?

note how they ignore the large majority of what you say and hyper-focus exclusively on the talking points that they are trying to convey

Thats like 9 out of 10 debates on Lemmy regardless of community. Everyone thinks they are the exception.

Yeah even reddit is fucked these days.

By the way note there is not always an easy way to find communities naturally so I would recommend thinking of some key words and searching for communities with them to fill in some niches

Every person that keeps saying it’s good that there is no one here sounds like scrooge in my head going,
“Good, all to decrease the surplus population”

I studied theoretical astrophysics and astro xenobiology and part of a thought experiment we did was on the long term affects of low gravity habitation. While we mostly have zero gravity studies the whole 1/3rd or less of our gravity makes some extrapolations pretty simple like cell wall thinning and the whole clots thing, and the small cardiovascular tubes of the eyes make for some good starting points to notice the effects, especially blindness.

But yeah the physical moving items with friction in a light gravity situation pose a pretty big issue for those rotating rings. While a lashed together collection of asteroids can be pretty rough but in a no gravity situation can be operated like a space station of its own. And a large station can be spun slower than the small rings needed for a planetary surface. Recent short paper on this https://ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citations/20210019591/downloads/ICES-2021-142.pdf

For Jupiter that is some really sci-fi stuff i have seen for it but essentially we could build a vacuum based balloon, the high amounts of hydrogen and helium make for great fuel resources and there are lots of other materials immediately in the area and water from Jupiter’s atmosphere. Though the physics on the dirigible are silly and way far from something we are doing soon and so is any of this kind of speculation.

Unfortunately the nearest and most likely option is the ugly we go out and start grabbing asteroids and making a really ugly space station that works.

And also robots are not an option. You have clearly never sat on a clean meeting from COSPAR’s Planetary Prevention policies. We get zero room for contamination to the poont where my mentor just suggested shooting a solid copper ball from orbit and collecting the exploding dust since it was the only way to follow all the protocols. Once people stop caring, people are cheaper, less rare, and have their own fabrication system built in.

The moon is a good staging area for rocket launches because of the low gravity but the moon wars will be rough on it i bet and its not like there is a glut of material we can strip from them unlike asteroids and if we destroy it we are gonna be really messed up as a planet.
Plus low gravity is almost worse than no gravity really. We cant spin the moon around faster but we can strap some asteroids together and make some weird stations with lots of metals that are right there. Low gravity of the moon and Mars actually will likely cause so many clots that you end up blind within 7 years and dead shortly after and we cant easily mimic or add more gravity.

Venus and jupiter both strike me as floating habitation if we ever get there but the moons of jupiter are fantastic and also 5 and a half years of flying away. So not gonna be a super useful base unless we figure out a different means of travel.

Im still a big fan of Europa and finding out if we do have an alien competition in this solar system.

Oh yeah, seriously Mars is a really bad choice of an exoplanet to colonize, so small the gravity difference will kill you if none of the other horrible things about it.
Venus is actually the most reasonable and likely to be habitable but you know… We have to figure out the whole “stop it from melting us” thing and the constant volcano action aint helping.

We will probably colonize space on asteroids with slave labor before anywhere else in this solar system.

I dunno,
I didnt see a Cheddar Gorge so this doesnt look like any Somerset i know.
