  • As an individual you can’t be expected to do that and there are many good reasons not to do it, as you could suffer from consequences. As part of a society, all of your actions do shape the social environment around you in small ways. But when the interests of you as an individual with those actions of society clash, you do bear the responsibility of what happens in that society. In my opinion this would apply even to those who have worked against unethical actions, because taken for a bigger scope at a nationwide level, it wouldn’t be feasible to exclude those from reparations either way. Even if the “good” would get compensated with a lower tax, they will economically feel it either way, as the “bad” around them are still sanctioned. And then the ethical dilemma is what could be considered “good” or “bad” at all.

    Now taken this generalized context back to marginalized groups, if everyone would be obligated to be an activist, it would punish those unable to cope with the additional stressors activism could entail. Then, the question is who is actually marginalized and who is not, the rich 1% is a minority, but definitely not in “need”. There are people labeling themselves as things which they are not. (Some “leftist queer” folk are more rightwing in their deeds, than actual conservatives.) I also believe those who fight for the rights of those that person itself doesn’t belong to, adds nuances, you can quite often see ideological shifts in people depending on their income. Which gives the question on whether a truly fair solution between groups is attainable, and probably an unsolvable optimization problem, so compromises must happen.

    Every policy you go for, will eventually have some people discriminated against in some ways or even actively harm them. No matter what your stance on HRT and medical transition is, there will be some people who should not have done it in the first place, or should have to alleviate their gender dissonance. And whatever line you draw in the sand, there will be something wrong with it. Expecting everybody to strictly enforce some kind of policy by activism, is an ethical burden we can’t place on an individual, but which we involunatarily bear by its consequence.


  • This should be illegal. As a person who was once false flagged manually by network attribution. Of course the anti troll flagging network was itself socially destroyed by time and is frequently cause of scandals while nobody cares for me.

    Add certain language patterns and political stances and you have an excellent oppressive tool.

    The behavior the study is referring to, is actually result of reddit’s algorithms and human psychology. Often the contrarian view of whatever the post is about will automatically float to the top, no matter the topic, opinionated, factual or debunking, nature.












  • Unfortunately it could be so many things. First off is to consider overthinking a little bit, if you feel your memory performance otherwise is acceptable most of the time. As the reason for why this happens it could be a great many things. Clean up your sleep schedule and quality first. Then maybe check and work on the diet. Vitamin deficiencies can cause all kinds of subtle trouble. Next the obligatory exercise disclaimer as it will improve functioning. It can be frustrating to deal with the human body as many things aren’t as clear cut.


  • Multivitamins may actually be harmful. Fat soluble Vitamins may have weird properties which could be bad even with correct dosage. Vitamin B6 can be easily overdosed as even the recommended values are questionable.

    However, I strongly advise against going to just by “terrible diet” and do only until something shows on regular check-ups. There can be subacute deficiencies, they won’t show up on routine checks or not at all anywhere as we can’t “Star Trek Health Scan” the human body and especially the brain. Also your diet is terrible by default. Why? Because depending on the geographic region and especially with modern agriculture which killed off all kinds of biodiversity and trace elements is more than likely to be worse than a century ago with the same ingredients. It is not easy to recommend a Vitamin stack as there are so many things we don’t quite know and regulation is practically absent.
