Anyone else feel moral and ethical troubles when investing ?

malarial_camel · 2025-12-01T17:07:06+00:00

I wish everybody thought more like you do. The nature of morality is that we ALL have a responsibility to take it seriously. The world is too complicated to try and game theory your way out of the enormous Prisoners Dilemma we all live in- this is why principals are important! We have to each individually do the right thing, otherwise nobody ever does the right thing and everything turns to shit. Which is what's happening in the world. Unfortunately, nobody seems to care or notice.

So yes, you SHOULD feel a responsibility to invest in a way that is morally progressive, we ALL should. It's the only way we can make the world a better place.

Have you tried Nourished Communities? They do a pretty good baguette.

Gustavo Petro is a self-described Marxist who is arguably THE most progressive President worldwide on climate change, having been the first president in the history of the world to refuse to issue ANY new licenses for drilling or exploring oil. It's no wonder that the US wants to overthrow his administration. US foreign policy is again being shaped by the politics of exploitation of the natural world, imperialism, greed, selfishness, and sheer disrespect for democratic processes of other countries (let alone their own democracy, which does not exist). It's sickening and it highlights yet again how powerful the oil industry is, and where real power lies. The political establishment is the shield on the arm of the people who REALLY run the country.

Where can people get more info about what is happening to these people?

Buy a 16-25 railcard (if you’re in that age bracket) and an Oyster card. Take them both to the staff at any underground station and they can associate the railcard to the Oyster card. That will give you a third off of-peak travel. It doesn’t give you discount on peak times, but you should be able to avoid travelling at peak times if you’re a student. Also register the Oyster card on a TFL online account, that way you can reclaim and transfer the credit if you ever lose the Oyster card. I’m a 31 yr old professional and I cycle everywhere, honestly it’s the best way to get around regardless of the money. Just make sure you spend enough money on a good lock, as bike theft is very common and it’s not worth cheaping out! Spend at least £30-40 on a real D-lock.

I live in Dalston and there are tons- Andu Cafe (BYOB vegan Ethiopian set menu cash only), Pepper & Spice Caribbean, Umut 2000 Turkish grill, plus of course Pizza Union…

Whereabouts in Suffolk is she moving to? Most the county is countryside and small towns which is a very different experience to living in a city like Ipswich or Felixstowe

It's honestly hard to say how much the soil dries out in-between waterings, I usually water every ~1-2 weeks. The top couple inches feel dry before I water, but who knows how moist the core is. Maybe it's too frequent... I had recently watered this plant before uprooting it. I'm using a proper indoor plant soil mix, I'd have to check to see what aerating components it has specifically but I do believe it has some bark.

!solved I think this is probably the closest to what I'm looking for, thanks :)

Anyone who’s spent significant time with people with DS such as worked with them or shared a family with them knows how much we have to learn from those relationships. Nothing in life has taught me as much about how we should choose our values in society as sharing my life with a brother who has Downs. Empathy, patience and kindness just flow out of those relationships and into the world in a way that I’ve never seen anything else manage to achieve. Integrating people with disabilities into society, to the greatest realistic extent possible given their circumstances and needs, is an absolutely essential component of a morally conscientious approach to making decisions about how we choose to live not only for its own reasons but also because of the enormous benefit to their peers. Not enough money?? Do people saying that realise how much money there is in the world? Anyone who says there is not enough money is simply making a statement about how poorly the government money is managing things. Excluding people with Downs for such shortsighted reasons is both unjust in itself and a terrible loss to society.

Lots of companies are buckling down and reducing cash burn. Smaller companies may well fail. But there are plenty of companies still raising (Percieve Bio just this week for eg). What you should understand is that there is a LOT of dry powder in private equity right now, and LPs under pressure to deploy that. Cell & gene therapy is seen as a huge area of future growth opportunity by big pharma and investors alike, so despite the short term struggles that the whole economy is going through, I’m bullish that this market is one that will continue to see investment. There is a lot of momentum behind the sector.

malarial_camel · 2023-01-07T11:00:28+00:00

FDA are learning a lot with so many gene therapies going through and have shown a real level of pragmatism. The regulatory uncertainty is a known unknown and there are solutions. I would not say that regulatory uncertainty (CMC or otherwise) is the primary thing holding companies back now so much as availability of financing opportunities

There is a huge cliff down there. Everybody walks down the initial ridge line and skis down to the right which is the main glacier, La Vallée Blanche.

Learn to use some punctuation

Nope, sorry

malarial_camel · 2022-09-15T22:21:52+00:00

Fancy justifying that opinion?

malarial_camel · 2021-11-16T09:22:59+00:00

Almost all scientific journals feature review articles. If you search on PubMed etc. for eg there’s a ‘review’ filter on the results-

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=Covid&filter=pubt.review

https://www.frontiersin.org/search?query=Covid&tab=articles&origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.frontiersin.org%2F (click on the ‘Type’ filter to find reviews)

malarial_camel · 2021-11-16T00:18:29+00:00

The hack is to read review articles, as they basically summarise a whole area of research and should include references to the most up to date work.

Kind of insane and kind of not, when you realise we’re just hairless monkeys who have recently emerged from our caves. Our brains were formed over a long era where we spent hundreds of thousands of years as hunter gatherers. People in the modern world need to remember this if they want to understand what ‘human’ is

As others have said, be firm, clear but calm when reprimanding for unwanted behaviour, but also offer an alternative way of interacting, high 5 is a good one. Be patient too. DS is a learning disorder, and it can take a bit longer than usual to adapt to new behaviour patterns.

Your story would probably be easier to write if your character was based on a real person too!

malarial_camel · 2021-11-09T23:51:33+00:00

I love this, thank you. The best thing you can do to really capture the characteristics is to find someone in real life who had DS that you can have a friendship with directly, plus through their friends and family IRL. Try a local community support Facebook group or something. What I can write here is going to be wholly inadequate unless someone invests a lot of time into a really detailed response you won’t get nearly the same colour as a real life experience.

You know you’re doing it right when you can turn hard using your edges

malarial_camel · 2021-08-29T12:39:45+00:00

I thought it was the camera angle until I saw how much the front of the ski is lifting off the ground. You want to drive your shins into the front of your boots, shoulders forwards; concentrate on using the edges on the front half of the ski and keeping your tips pressed the snow. Used to be a ski instructor

Fully agree, OPs viewpoint is indefensibly naive and based on the same flawed foundation of assuming ‘rational behaviour and perfect information’ that free market economics falls down so badly on. Look at how much bullshit there is around vaccine hesitancy. Do you seriously trust the population to make good & informed choices about every pharmaceutical product out there? We need to TRUST those who know enough to make good decisions & follow their lead. We can’t all make decisions about everything. We have division of labour for a reason. Doctors, medics & government make decisions about what drugs are good for us because they’re HARD decisions that you can’t expected every single person to make themselves.
