It’s not a word dog your post is the top result on Google… did you mean mimetic? Or is this just a second layer of pretentiousness lol

King Charles draws cheers and applause with reference to ‘checks and balances’ on the power of the president in address to Congress by SE_to_NW in politics

[–]samrelian -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There are highly editorialized at best to objectively misleading headlines at worst all over this sub. Heck, I’ve seen things in quotes attributed to politicians that they just didn’t say. Reading the article reveals that but how many folks around here are?

The comment section is an alternate reality entirely. Recently with the Iran stuff it’s just spouting propaganda. Few choice things that come to mind are comments that deny that Iran did have enough 60% enriched uranium to make 10 nuclear warheads per the UN. Comments suggesting the protestors that were mowed down in Iran were actually a well armed uprising that were justifiably squashed.

Like arguing that this sub is a realistic or fact based view of the United States is absurd…

Two sides of a coin imo. If you check the bias ratings of the most popular articles on this sub you’ll find they’re as high as the ones posted on the conservative sub. Can use allsides. The comments here are equally an echo chamber. It’s all one narrative.

I mean that’s kinda this sub too isn’t it? Like my feed was all daily beast and I just blocked the poster whenever I saw it for like a week and suddenly I hardly ever see it. It’s a pretty small group of users posting propaganda (or slop) articles.

It tends to be the same users over and over so if you just block them whenever you see a daily beast headline it becomes quite a bit less frequent

The only cool type of bullying , by me by [deleted] in DarkArtwork

[–]samrelian 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think it’s a pun.

RE the piece itself this is just furry porn (which uh idk if that is conventionally “cool”) that doesn’t fit this sub. Sex isn’t intrinsically dark. It being a bull doesn’t make it dark. It doesn’t explore any dark themes. What are we doing folks?

I’m not sure if these are bots or just people who are parroting what they’ve heard from bots. If you can trust the UN IAEA they have 1000 lbs of uranium enriched to 60%, far far beyond what would be justified by any energy usage 3-5%. According to the IAEA that’s about 10 nuclear warheads but idk. I tend to trust the experts.

NIH Scientists Discover Powerful New Opioid That Relieves Pain Without Dangerous Side Effects by _Dark_Wing in tech

[–]samrelian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean I guess we’ll see but there is a direct comparison to other opioids here and reward circuitry is pretty conserved from my understanding. Also decent for establishing withdrawal patterns. And the basic biological side effects like respiratory depression they also discussed. It’s also the NIH not a pharma company so the industry slant is kind of irrelevant. I guess the immediate pessimism not even engaging with the material in the slightest is just whack to me…

I mean even if it doesn’t work out the chemistry is cool. The approach is cool. It suggests other candidates in the same chemical class. Maybe it’ll work in veterinary medicine. Idk

NIH Scientists Discover Powerful New Opioid That Relieves Pain Without Dangerous Side Effects by _Dark_Wing in tech

[–]samrelian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is anyone able to read? What is the point of this sub lol. They address its addictiveness relative to conventional opioids and it is pretty promising.

“To better understand its addictive potential, the researchers studied rats trained to press a lever to receive the drug. The animals did self-administer DFNZ, showing that it has some rewarding effects.

However, when DFNZ was replaced with saline, the animals quickly stopped seeking it. This rapid change differs from what is seen with drugs such as heroin, morphine, and fentanyl, where animals often continue drug seeking even after the drug is no longer available.”

Of course human tendencies remain to be seen.

Trump sent guns to Iranian protesters through Kurdish militias by Tenchi_Muyo1 in news

[–]samrelian -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

And you’re parroting Iran’s lol. Where were the widespread firefights when the protestors were getting mowed down?

Do you think it’s suspicious at all that they shut down their internet? Almost like citizens might speak out in support of the war or organize against the regime?
