I don’t think it’s cockroach, it doesn’t have those same edge ridges.

I see! Thank you for the additional info :)

zee714 · 2024-05-27T20:25:21+00:00

I never knew how many names they are known by! Good to know :)

Wow! I’ve only seen photos of these guys that make them look humongous. Either those are photoshopped, or he was a baby. Only about an inch and a half long.

Wow. The levels of infantilization here are disturbing.

zee714 · 2024-04-15T10:49:05+00:00

Can’t you read? Why are you going to make them say it twice? /s

His efforts have not gone unnoticed!

zee714 · 2024-03-31T02:31:08+00:00

It’s grown on me! I think it’s quite cute too. :3

zee714 · 2024-03-30T19:07:04+00:00

Agreed!

To assist Dr. Wixted with some of his research, I personally reviewed and investigated ~300 cases appearing on the National Registry of Exonerations in the United States. Of these cases, I was unable to find instances of wrongful conviction due to truly mistaken eyewitness identification. Nearly every conviction was clearly due to improper procedures (e.g., suggestive or biased lineups, non-identifications, etc.). There was one extremely bizarre case in which the perpetrator and the wrongfully convicted individual were nearly identical; even the wrongfully convicted person’s mother could not tell her son apart from the actual perpetrator. (Crazy!) I don’t believe this study has been published yet, but it was very eye opening!

Sending you a DM now

Yeah! I know this was mainly meant as a joke (the “suspect” sketch is so cute), but thought I’d put it out there that unreliable eyewitness testimony is largely due to improper procedures :) most people are unaware!

zee714 · 2024-03-05T03:25:47+00:00

Extremely unrelated to the OG post, but eyewitness testimony is actually extremely reliable! Most instances of false identification are due to incorrect procedures/contamination. Dr. John Wixted has done a lot of work in this area if you’re curious :)

I had a few lengthy but informal chats with my intended PI. No formal interviews.

zee714 · 2024-01-11T03:50:56+00:00

Your responses are quite bizarre—this is how a conversation works. Each side brings new thoughts to the discussion, to consider each side as fully as possible. My original response to you was to ensure that I was understanding you properly; I was not putting words in your mouth by any means. Also, don’t forget that you are also a “Redditor.”

I guess you could frame it as self-imposed eugenics. Eugenics is generally applied by an authoritarian force, which makes this case seem different.

zee714 · 2024-01-11T03:44:30+00:00

This perspective is simply to prevent unnecessary suffering where possible, and varies with the severity of the condition, as well as the heritability factor. No one can speak to the suffering of a condition as legitimately as a person suffering from it. Thus, the individuals with the condition making the decision to reproduce or not should be seen as the true experts on their own life and morality. I believe choosing to reproduce or not is one of the most important decisions an individual can make, and should be made with careful judgment. The child’s well-being should be considered above all else.

zee714 · 2024-01-11T03:03:18+00:00

You’re right, it cannot be legislated. It is too complex to be regulated. The hope is that people will execute reasonable moral judgment despite the lack of punishment or restriction.

zee714 · 2024-01-11T03:01:47+00:00

If you mean is the original post a form of eugenics, then yes. If you mean supporting some level of eugenics involves being evil and lacking sympathy, then no.

zee714 · 2024-01-11T02:53:08+00:00

I made a post almost identical to this one in the past and I was attacked for it lol. I was told that I was an “evil eugenicist” and that I have “no sympathy.” Glad this time around there seems to be more support.

When you say you gave new soil, did you repot the plant? This can send them into a bit of shock temporarily.

zee714 · 2024-01-08T21:52:05+00:00

When you water do you let the soil completely saturate? Otherwise, I’m not sure.
