Reply to 10 Recent Studies Underscore the Health Risks of 5G by Saint_Cuthbert

From: wikiless.i2p/wiki/Joseph_Mercola0

Mercola's medical claims have been criticized by the medical, scientific, regulatory, and business communities. A 2006 BusinessWeek editorial stated his marketing practices relied on "slick promotion, clever use of information, and scare tactics". In 2005, 2006, 2011, and 2021 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warned Mercola and his company that they were making illegal claims for their products' ability to detect, prevent, and treat disease.

Quackwatch has criticized Mercola for making "unsubstantiated claims [that] clash with those of leading medical and public health organizations and many unsubstantiated recommendations for dietary supplements". Of Mercola's marketing techniques, surgical oncologist David Gorski says it "mixes the boring, sensible health advice with pseudoscientific advice in such a way that it's hard for someone without a medical background to figure out which is which".

When my grandfather "died" after a heart attack, he ended up seeing a door with light coming from under it, and he saw himself floating above himself. He was resuscitated and went on to live for two more decades.

My personal belief is that we will all stand in Judgement before our Creator and have to give an account for every action (whether right or wrong) that we have committed. We will receive an eternal reward or an eternal punishment; those who did only good in their lives will go to Heaven, and those who have done any wrong will burn in Hell for eternity.

Is there an afterlife? That is a matter of faith.

Another thought outside religion: Based on what we can observe, I've been comforted in loss by the realization we never are truly gone.

Our physical form, continues to change (always has). Death always becomes (or "feeds into") new life. But we are never really "gone".

We can even observe this, the way meat content changes composition, based on an animal's diet (grass finished vs corn fed, omega6 vs omega3 fatty acids).

The circle of life, a continuum of cycles, within cycles. All of us. Everything being connected in that way.

Our life continues to shape / influence others - another way we still exist, our influence shaping new generations, behavior, genes.

And they pass this on, and so on.

Nothing, and no one, is really ever gone in that way. We continually change form.

Might not be what anyone is looking to hear. But it's one way to look at existence.

"tasteful decomposition" is my belief. get me naked, put me in a wheelbarrow, do your last goodbyes or whatever and dump me in the ocean. if the dolphins have their way with me after that's their business. i feel like the whole funeral business thing is fucking wasteful and pointlessly expensive, the grieving get taken advantage of. it's nice to go visit a grave and all afterwards, but if i get dumped in the ocean somewhere you can make a fun day of it.

To be honest, I think I should have phrased the post better. In my opinion it is quite fun to mess around with. BUT I do hate it when it is used as a substitute for art eg in films, tv shows, comics etc. where people profit from not paying an artist for their time! I will admit there was one post where it seemed like an interesting use of ai, and some stuff from not_bob that i found kinda neat. Also do you have a link to the post from snex?

nah i feel a similar way, ai art is fun for people like me that don't have that skill. idea was floating around not too long ago to make a site for subversive comics (i think it was snex's idea) it'd be cool if there were human artists that could do that kind of thing

Reply to Real-time Linux is officially part of the kernel after decades of debate by z3d

As already stated, that'll have not much impact to an average user but for me, working with video analysis and interpretation in real-time it will definitely make sense. All the headache with self-compiling preempt_rt into current kernels will be over (I hope so) but we will have to wait for wider feedback from RT community. Thank you very much to the devs.

Answering your question with a question: wouldn't it be great if we all went back to Neoclassicism? We could have an all-Neoclassic art forum. That takes years of skill to create works like that.
