I agree, but I meant that both interventions need to happen at the same time since having regular contact with support and being able to rely on them (instead of drugs) while getting clean will make it more likely that they succeed.

I feel like we might be pushing for the same point, and are talking about different sides of it

I think not addressing the mental health and economic substances until they are “clean”, will make it a lot harder for them to get clean

I don’t understand why we need to pick one or the other when thorough and holistic interventions would work a lot better

I agree with your overall point, this is more of a nitpick on the wording

Note that there are also unfounded conspiracy theories around Glyphosphate, so keep an eye out for those when looking around

Lebanon’s Ministry of Environment formally accused the Israeli military of “an act of ecocide” in April 2026, reporting $25 billion in damages, including the destruction of thousands of hectares of forest and extreme soil contamination that “reshaped both the physical and ecological landscape” of the Lebanese south.

Making it so that an entire region can no longer plant local crops, and causing sudden large scale changes to local biodiversity, is bad.

On top of that:

Decades-old study on common weed killer retracted after journal editor says Monsanto may have helped write it

The 25-year-old study said the main ingredient in Roundup — the herbicide glyphosate — is safe for humans.

“It’s really a foundational paper against which a lot of regulatory agencies made decisions about whether or not glyphosate was safe.”

From the admin side, we see the following

• lots of accounts trying to register with the same LLM generated text, or nonsensical spam in the registration application. Those get blocked
• some accounts that immediately make it obvious that they are a spam bot by posting unrelated advertise-y content as their first post. Those get banned quickly, and usually the home instance prunes the account within a day

The recent “DM me” spammers and the accounts that post on [email protected] are a good example of the second category.

It’s pretty rare for a bot to be active for much longer than that. Usually some eagle eyed user will spot it and report it up the chain.

Another post, made around the same time, is also talking about “sinful” behaviour

I’m guessing that both of these accounts are going to be self deleted within a few days

At some point they should just be barred from speaking at all

Do you see an “HD” button in the top right of the image, and does that fix it for you? It might be the data saving settings

I don’t think there is a way to combine crossposts yet

It’s a spam bot

Which similar errors did you notice? I didn’t see anything specific, but I’m curious

This space has a larger proportion of non-americans than older social media sites, if that helps explain anything

Neat

Use all capitals if an abbreviation is pronounced as the individual letters: BBC, VAT, etc; if it is an acronym (pronounced as a word) spell out with initial capital, eg Nasa, Nato, unless it can be considered to have entered the language as an everyday word, such as awol, laser and, more recently, asbo, pin number and sim card. Note that pdf and plc are lowercase.

Even the name “Spanish” flu is because of denials from other nations:

The outbreak did not originate in Spain,[49] but reporting did, due to wartime censorship in belligerent nations. Spain was a neutral country unconcerned with appearances of combat readiness, and without a wartime propaganda machine to prop up morale,[50][51] so its newspapers freely reported epidemic effects, making Spain the apparent locus of the epidemic.[52] The censorship was so effective that Spain’s health officials were unaware its neighboring countries were similarly affected.[53] In an October 1918 “Madrid Letter” to the Journal of the American Medical Association, a Spanish official protested, “we were surprised to learn that the disease was making ravages in other countries, and that people there were calling it the ‘Spanish grip’. And wherefore Spanish? …this epidemic was not born in Spain, and this should be recorded as a historic vindication.”

I don’t think we can convince people to remember it as the more accurate “1918 flu”, so maybe the “not-spanish flu”?

So instead of an organized system of monitoring, treatment, and quarantine, you’re suggesting the world stick its head in the sand?

I think because I read about this riddle in the past, I might have built up some associations myself. So maybe there’s actually nothing there 😄

It’s not important, just an observation of spoken language. Similar to the order of adjectives or how there’s usually a “correct” sounding way to list two names.

If anything, it might explain why people are tied to a particular order of multiplication and division

Something I haven’t seen mentioned yet is how we remember it as either BEDMAS or PEMDAS, but not PEDMAS or BEMDAS. The order of M and D are tied to whether we use the term brackets or parentheses. BEMDAS sounds very wrong to me

What if you distributed the tool under the normal channels, and then used gumroad (or anything similar) to sell an optional key that adds a little visual indicator or removes a nag message. I’ve seen a few other open source projects do that. Grayjay for example

I cross posted this to [email protected], I hope that was ok! I figured it would be good to spread the knowledge
