Discontinuation Syndrome goes brrrrr… [Error, brain.exe has crashed because antidepressant.dll is not found]
Congratulations, you now rent your brain from big pharma.
Tomorrow you will start paying rent on your immune system.
People taking their needed medication aren’t at fault for the predatory systems that control distribution and pricing. The blame falls on the institutions that fail us, not on the properly medicated.
“needed medication” is so open to interpretation.
So reliant on the opinions of people who see you as a cow to be milked.
So reliant upon a narrative espoused by a populace that can’t tell its ass from its elbow.
So reliant upon the assertions of a gang of professional liars.
Do your own research.
Need to eat? Congratulations, you now rent your stomach from big farmer.
Don’t tell him about the water supply. It’s filled with chemicals known as Dihydrogen monoxide. 100% of the people who comes into contact with it eventually dies. This must stop! Ban Dihydrogen monoxide!
That’s why I drink piss.
Actually, there are so many food producers. Locally, globally and everything in between, that getting stuck buying food from an inscrutable priesthood with a monopoly on food really isn’t a problem.
Exotic pharmaceuticals otoh…
Good point, there are no morally bankrupt monopolies or mega corporations in the food industry. Thank goodness
Actually yes. When there are a couple thousand independent farmers in my state alone, and anybody can plant a garden (and growing food isn’t a much of secret scientific mystery either). It rather kills monopolies.
Well, if there were a couple of thousand of them in your state then they wouldn’t be alone would they, so which is it?
Good point again though, anyone can grow food! Anyway, I’m off to grow my rice, wheat, sugar, cocoa, coffee, vegetables and milk for the day.
I’ve been out of social media for a while, just recently came back, hoping Lemmy would be saner.
You ever see The Exorcist?
When the two priests are climbing the stairs up to where the possessed girl awaits, the old priest says to the young priest, “Whatever you do, don’t engage.”
I feel like this place is full of crazy demons like that. And I’ve been engaging too much.
I think this is an inherent weakness of large scale social media. It gives the small percentage of the population that happens to be angry children, crazies, etc, access to everybody else. And then they run the whole show. It exposes us to this vast population of demons.
I think that small scale social media is the way to go.
I will now leave you demons to do whatever it is you do when you can’t find a dissenting opinion to dogpile.
Adios.
The research in question here obviously isn’t pubmed or publishing journals but boomer Facebook memes, “holistic” mommy bloggers and at least a few nazis in a trench coat pretending to be a doctor
If by “do your own research” you mean “read the studies” then by all means, go ahead. If, and I guess that’ll be the case for 99% of people without related degrees, you can’t understand them you should accept that you’re in no way equipped to do your own research.
Not with that attutude.
I can only assume from this comment that you’re American. In countries with nationalised healthcare, our medical professionals don’t profit at all from selling medication; they prescribe medication because it is what their patients need. America might have a profit-driven healthcare system but don’t assume that every country does.
The average lemm.ee poster 👆 👆 👆
I fucking wish rent was as cheap as my pills.
Easy, just be born in a wealthy land-owning family … oh yea… about that…, why don’t you try for a better spawn next time around, eh? 😔
If the options are between being me with some help from hundreds of thousands of scientists with the backing of society, or being froghorse. I’ll choose the former.
It’s insane takes like this that make the least capable of us doubt getting help.
Do you eat food? Do you drive over bridges? Do you go to the hospital to get your bones set? Use electricity to heat or cool your home? Fortified food so you don’t die from goiter or scurvy?
Congrats, you’re relying on completely unnatural things to help you get through life easier. There is ZERO difference between the former and medications. Entire industries are built around them.
Unfortunately, people like froghorse are nothing new and they probably won’t be going anywhere. They are the manifestation of societal ennui and lack of empathy. They prefer their false reality over the one we’re forced to share with them.
I’d say there’s a big difference.
The relevant medical science is obscured behind a veil of esoterica and complexity (not to mention patent law). That other stuff, not so much.
Thus in the case of the former we are forced to rely upon an inscrutable priesthood.
Whereas the latter, not so much.
Just because you cannot understand something does not make it false lmfao.
Complex things are complex. Some of them cannot be dumbed down. It’s the entire, literal point, to civilization. Specialization.
And of all the things you want to complain about not knowing, is medications? So many of the metabolic pathways are heavily described and detailed. Very little of it requires intricate knowledge of biomechanica or biochemistry.
The rest of it is LITERALLY missing link versions of what people classically know about evolution. We know
A >>>> G
That doesn’t mean magic happens between B, C, D, E, and F. It means biology is fucking stupid because evolution at it’s core is based on entropy lol. It takes forever to learn why and what stupid mechanics do what.
Wow, good point
Thanks.
It’s either antidepressants, alcohol, or not-so-legal drugs. 😥
We are all slaves one way or another.
Let me guess, you’re one of those cretins that think that clinical depression is when you feel sad sometimes?
Got me!
Considering what a sorry state my brain’s in I’d gladly rent it to someone more qualified to deal with its bullshit. I don’t see your point. If not for big pharma I’d be dead a long time ago.
