Is this something I’m too European to understand, but the medical professional told the patient to dO tHeIR oWn REsEaRcH and pick their own medication?..
Did everybody clap afterwards too?

46·1 month agoTwenty Lessons For Fighting Tyranny
- Do not obey in advance. Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do.

Depends entirely on the type of tree and type of vines.
A local tree surgeon, hippy, or naturalist (not to be confused with a naturist!) will likely be of more help than randoms on the global net. They can look at it up close and see what we can’t.
Generally though, nature is best left to do its thing. If the trees aren’t showing any signs of suffering because of the vines then just leave nature to do its thing.
A variant of this phrase seems to comes up in every neurodivergent community thread.
All humans piss, but only those with untreated diabetes piss every half an hour.
It’s not just about the action, but the frequency or context of the action as well.
All humans get anxious, but some people are anxious all of the time. At that point it’s deemed divergent from what is typical.
All humans get distracted, but some people get distracted considerably easier and more regularly than others.
All humans can focus, but some people will focus for 12h straight without moving to eat or go to the toilet.
Frequency and context matter.
I was there. I was there 3,000 years ago…
It’s about keeping those ants in line!

If you give an inch they’ll take a mile.
nato does not have any democratic principles in its rules because was assumed that everyone in it wants the same thing, so everything needs to be done with full agreement.
Consensus decision-making is a group decision-making process in which participants work together to develop proposals for actions that achieve a broad acceptance. Consensus is reached when everyone in the group assents to a decision (or almost everyone; see stand aside) even if some do not fully agree to or support all aspects of it. It differs from simple unanimity, which requires all participants to support a decision. Consensus decision-making in a democracy is consensus democracy.[1]

Consensus is far more democratic than majority rule, which is the norm in most Western democracies.
This article is a fun read.
The system only works because millions of cogs step in line and allow the machinery of that system to work.
I have been part of a larger evil system. Because where I grew up that’s what everyone did, you went into the industry propping up the local economy (oil and gas). As I grew older I learned of the evils of fossil fuels, about climate change, and no longer work in oil and gas. I have no intention of ever doing so again.
So you could quite rightfully call me a bastard. But I left and will never be returning, does that absolve me of the bastard title? I don’t know. But while you’re actively part of the machinery you’re definitely a bastard. Especially if you’re the part of the machinery that is systemically racist and assaults and restrains people on a daily basis.
Intentions vs actions.
All cops are bastards because it doesnt matter what their intentions are when their actions mean they prop up injustice, legal slavery, oppression of the right to protest, and corruption.
Cops enforce what their boss tells them to enforce, as is the way in extremely hierarchical organisations. Their intentions no longer matter, they do as they’re told.
Go do 20 minutes on your paper.
What’s 20 minutes?

I noticed a lack of Taskmaster in your list. If you haven’t already seen it, you’re in for a treat.
