My ESD sense are freaking out right now

Wait hold on

Wouldn’t that mean that lenders have a vested interest in keeping borrowers alive especially if they have extreme net debt?

Yeah, that makes sense too.

I’m certainly not kidding about it. Associating with communism or people who associate with communism is a big NO. And it doesn’t exactly make sense anymore, but that’s the FBI for you

No.

However, anything that requires security clearance or is PR for the employer will (in the US at least).

If you want a job that needs clearance, I recommend closing your social media now, stopping all drugs now, and wait at least 7 years before applying to those jobs. Limit travel. Work to have any mental health records destroyed (idk if you can actually do this) and cancel therapy. Stop using Lemmy, and don’t do anything that remotely indicates that you associate with divergent cultures (i.e. communism or anarchism).

For PR - just stay off social media and drugs and don’t talk about work except in an extremely positive way.

See I didn’t know that, cool thanks

Yes, it cannot be created naturally.

The concern is that if one of the mirror proteins is able to be cloned naturally, then we would have a problem on our hands.

However, those mirror cells would need a supply of “mirror food” such as “mirror sugar” in order to survive their natural lifespan. And then they would need to break apart into the mirror proteins that can be cloned. Racemic drugs like Thalidomide do not behave the way they are talking about in the article.

I have my doubts that this is an actual concern. It’s not even similar to prions - prions are misfolded proteins that have the same chemical make up, but the natural enzymes end up cloning those over the natural ones because they are easier to make.

Correct. It’s also a much simpler organic molecule than any of the proteins they are talking about creating.

I know I just responded, but I read the article, and the drug page, and discovered the thing we’re talking about. Racemic organic molecules are not the same thing here.

These are specifically proteins used for cellular life. These are significantly more complex, as there are no natural bindings between the two. To note this from Wikipedia:

Examples include thalidomide, ibuprofen, cetirizine and salbutamol. A well known drug that has different effects depending on its ratio of enantiomers is amphetamine. Adderall is an unequal mixture of both amphetamine enantiomers. A single Adderall dose combines the neutral sulfate salts of dextroamphetamine and amphetamine, with the dextro isomer of amphetamine saccharate and D/L-amphetamine aspartate monohydrate. The original Benzedrine was a racemic mixture, and isolated dextroamphetamine was later introduced to the market as Dexedrine. The prescription analgesic tramadol is also a racemate.

We know that those drugs aren’t great in pregnancy, but Adderall specifically does not cause birth defects. Again, these molecules are significantly less complex than any protein they would talk about here.

Well that answers my question if mirror cells need mirror molecules.

They just die and break apart turning into mirror molecules. Oh well.

Wait how would the mirror cells consume anything that normals cells do?

Wouldn’t they be entirely dependant on mirrored organic molecules? Which we dont have anyway?

Wait hold on

That makes too much sense get out of here

Iirc they never actually pay the reward in almost every reward poster for one reason or another.

Not really. Concerts really aren’t entertaining, and while I like restaurants, busy ones mean waiting so I don’t typically go out of my way to go to them.

It really has to do with the amount of stuff going on all around me. The more happening, the greater my anxiety. Casinos I’ve been to are a great example of this. They aren’t packed to the brim with people, and when they are it’s old people. It the amount of different flashing lights and celebration sounds of many different games and all that crap.

But like a bowling league to me is fun, because while there’s a lot going on at the same time, and there’s a bunch of people, they are ALL bowling and for example the sounds are bowling related.

I imagine the children with these things are emotionally disregulated in some way shape or form. A small group of children sometimes don’t learn to self soothe when they are very young, others in ASD struggle with it for a lifetime. Some with ADHD have a very difficult time when their medicine wears off and their emotions kick back in to overdrive.

For all those groups I mentioned, the whole concept of this thing was almost brilliant. Something that they can go to knowing it will be able to help them guide through emotions while mom and dad are doing something necessary like cooking or fixing something outside, or in the bathroom.

If you haven’t had to deal with a child that has emotional regulation problems, then it is hard to explain the difficulty that the failure of this device will make. It is true that they will adapt it, they always do, that’s how things work. The problem is that the emotional disregulation leads to broken things at home, aggressive behaviors with peers, getting kicked out of preschool and day care, etc.

It truly is a nightmare scenario. The parents have to prepare for all of these things and a new way to help their child through the limited existing means.

Man those parents. Oof.

I do not wanna be in their shoes.

Telling your kid that needed an emotional support robot friend that the robot friend is going to take a nap for a long time and might not wake back up? Ooo boy.

Helping a kid through a divorce is hard enough. This seems like a terrifying nightmare.

The only thing I can see this affecting is the Secure-boot requirement.

Which is very odd to consider that anything compatibility related would likely have nothing to do with secure boot, and everything to do with Windows being Windows.

So I’m looking up how many elephants they would need, and so far it’s a lot.

Yeah, that’s the part I’m not excited about. They’ve narrowed who they are looking for far too much for it to be pinned on just anyone.

So you can guarantee whoever they do pin it on will “resist law enforcement” and be unable to plead their innocence in court.
