Not certain about fish, but I think that’s a similar case?

Did you know humans are more closely related to catfish than catfish are to dogfish?

QI | No such thing as a fish

¦“yeah, it makes sense why that shape would be favored in water,”

Yeah, I can see that. But also it’s swimming in water. Then again if tou want to crawl around the bottom? Hexapod is probably the way to go. But then you also need to be able ro manipulate shit, so frontlimbs become bigger.

Like a lot of space vehicles meant for surface exploring, both imagined and real, are usually six-wheeled, probably for added stability in a rocky terrain where there’s a bit less gravity and sometimes storms and whanot. And what is it like on the ocean floor? Rocky, basically “less gravity” and odd flows like storms.

Idk there’s a bit more to it I guess, I’m just looking for what that bit is, or if there indeed is one.

Oh wow, thanks for the information.

Makes sense. A lot. I’ll read up on that, thanks again.

I genuinely fail to see why it’s a thing. Like reading up it, it’s basically just convergent evolution of crustaceans to a crab-like shape.

Couldn’t the same be said for a ton of fish-like animals? The many attempts of nature to develop a fish? Hell, even some mammals went back to the fish, plan, although with the tail-fin the wrong way and having to visit the surface to breathe.

Or large-ish mammals all having pretty much a similar bodyplan, four limbs, head and neck.

Like surely there’s something so specific in carcinisation that I just haven’t picked up on yet. If someone know what it is pls inform me.

Why not both?

Your arguments suck. Get some better ones.

Data is also objective or at least organised information, whereas lore is somewhat unreliable information, as it’s characterised by oral tradition. (Also if you think about the word “folklore” the connotation of factual isn’t too strong.)

I don’t trust your understanding of psychiatry to be so well versed that you could say with authority that this kid is beyond help.

He may or may not have Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD), but that simple fact alone isn’t anywhere near enough to say he’s beyond help.

#Treating antisocial personality disorder

In the past, antisocial personality disorder was thought to be a lifelong disorder, but that’s not always the case and it can sometimes be managed and treated.

Evidence suggests behaviour can improve over time with therapy, even if core characteristics such as lack of empathy remain.

No, it’s definitely not normal to murder someone, but also, you definitely don’t have the authority to say he’s definitely beyond ANY help. That’s the part I find ridiculous, not the part where you think there’s something wrong with him. Of course there’s something wrong with him; he stabbed someone to death. The point is that despite murder being a horrific crime, as a society, we have moved past defining people as singularly evil for all killings.

If he did not know the kid, this isn’t even probably murder — it’s manslaughter. And if crimes of passion basically are things that you consider evidence of people being “outside ANY possible help”, then what, should we just start killing anyone who kills another person? Don’t listen to any reason, anything, just the death penalty for them, even if it was an accident? (Which this obviously wasn’t but this wasn’t premeditated either, meaning it’s not legally murder, that’s just a way for us to emphasise the horrific nature of the crime.)

Here. https://www.mtvuutiset.fi/artikkeli/teippasi-uhrin-painonnostotankoon-ja-upotti-jokeen-paasee-ehdonalaiseen/3336726 it’s a Finnish article, title translates as: “Taped victim to a weightlifting pole and sunk them into a river - gets free on parole.”

When he got out on parole, he moved to the building I lived in. He made friends with me (because I was the weeder in a building of grannies). By that time he was already 50 something I think. Very polite, pretty nice guy to be around, never felt threatened. Made good food. And he asked me about a pound of meth that someone stole from the storage that I too had access to (not his cabin specifically, but the room the locked shacks/cabins are in). Now even back then I had driven a taxi for years in Finland, and knew all manners of criminals. This murderer (who actually did murder as it was premeditated, unlike the kid) definitely got rehabilitated to at least some extent. Never killed anyone again, that we know of, and I don’t doubt he did. He did beat one guy up, but that guy really had it coming and I don’t believe in violence. And I do mean he really had it coming. More sort of a vigilante thing, not random violence. And totally justified. I won’t go into details about that though. I get that this paragraph is now a pretty poor argument from the reader’s point of view, but trustmebro, he was alright, and prison had definitely changed him a lot as a person. Neatest dude I ever knew, spotless apartment, kitchen, fridge. Ate healthy, exercised. Then he got a bit too much into meth again at the time I moved out of the building and then I didn’t really hear from him until he was dead, but he definitely didn’t at least get convicted of killing anyone during those last few years.

The point I’m making is most criminals can be rehabilitated to quite an extent, even if not “completely”. To the extent that they understand not to pull of shit like stabbing people, at least. The kid probably has no idea of the hell he unleashed on his own life. And once he gets to feel that for a few years, I think he’ll be humbled a bit. So I would not say that he is “definitely beyond ANY help”.

Mutually Assured Destruction between the East and the West, you say?

Sounds like something our friend @davel@davel@lemmy.ml would know about, but as usual he ran before he dirtied his nice profile too badly. There’s only so long he can avoid being directly asked if he’s pro-Russian or not. Which we all know he is.

Oh yeah I know. The first time I ever commented something to him, it took him less than two comments to start making threats with his mod status.

A very clear Russian troll. Claims to be American, but I seriously doubt it. A Putler loving American? Must have a lot of friends. :D

I seriously don’t understand why lemmy.world federates with lemmy.ml

Hope you addressed that to people in general.

I’ve dried and made tee as well. Was rather soft. But it’s very hard experimenting when you’ve no idea of potency or dosages. For me at least, even though I tried getting a good buzz and drank quite a large dose, the effects were rather mild. Noticeable and pleasant, but not too strong.

At least for one there was not a similar sort of anxiety liberty caps give. They are really potent though, so it’s a bit different.

I might collect an amanita or two actually not that they should be somewhat in season. Although I might be late already.

Coke may have (re)popularised them, but they didn’t originate them, so the Siberian shroom santa is still technically possible if not plausible.

Although it may seem a fortunate coincidence, the use of red and white colours for Santa’s outfit was not a homage to Coca-Cola’s brand colours, but rather was inspired by the Bishop’s mitre clothing which may have been worn by the real St Nicholas

It’s worth it to try

That’s very much my point. My point isn’t that teenagers are especially murder-y, but that they’re somewhat especially emotional.

So the other guy giving up on him before he’s even had a fully developed brain is sad to me. Perhaps he’s a violent shit who will stay a violent shit, and in that case he should remain confined, but like you said, it’s worth it to try to help him.

Like idk, everyone having a say, but maybe one person being more actively doing it, one who we could all decide on by voting?

My job was to pile up the euthanized animals in a pickup and off load them at the landfill. Fucking grim.

Ufff. That’s grim, yeah.

We can’t fix our society until the government stops prioritizing profit over health and education.

If you stabbed someone to death after a brief conversation, there’s something wrong with you

I don’t think anyone is disagreeing with that.

Point is, you don’t get better from being a psychopath.

You’re a psychiatrist then, I take it?

You’re essentially saying that this kid is beyond ANY help at all. That’s a horrible opinion to hold, and it’s wrong. It’s a 15-year old. Teenagers are extremely volatile.

Like are you saying that when you went to school as a teenager, you didn’t witness several people practically wanting to kill others? Those kids managed to control their stabbiness. This kid didn’t. You’re asserting with absolute confidence he will never be able to.

That’s ridiculous.

Oh so we shouldn’t help people unless they were perfect?

What an insanely simplistic take on the matter. I don’t believe you’re seriously suggesting that the murderer didn’t actually understand that stabbing people to death is wrong.

Featured there is Amanita Muscaria, which isn’t really that poisonous. White Amanitas are lethal, never touch those, but with Muscaria you could have some fun.

Some even theorise that the reason Santa is red and white comes from Amanitas, basically a siberian shaman got fucked up on shrooms and climbed down the middle pole of the tent to give everyone else shrooms as well. Which is why Santa comes from the chimney and gives colorful presents. :) (Or so some people have theorised, I’m not asserting it as fact lol.)

edit and also reindeer love chomping on amanitas, and amanitas are associated with feelings of “flying”. and the way these people would get high is that the shaman would eat a lot of shrooms, then after he got high he’d piss in a bowl and that piss would get people really high.)
