This child has a plastic bag over her head and mouth, and her mom just yells at her about dry cleaning and sends her off to keep playing with the bag. It was a different time.
@bryan dementia would suck, but I'm hoping they'll have that figured out by the time I get there. They seem to have some pretty good leads. Shingles is strongly linked to cognitive decline, for instance, and I guess the vaccine protects against that.
@bryan survivorship bias survives on survivor anecdotes. My grandmother, a lifelong smoker, died when she was about 60 from lung cancer. No dementia, though, she had that going for her. Entirely aware all the way to the end.
@swelljoe My grandmother quit smoking when she was 70-ish. She stated her habit of smoking daily at 12. Anyway, at 70, she was taking care of her mother at the time. Her mother (my great-grandmother) spent the last 10 years of her life with dementia.
The experience made my grandmother decide she’d rather be dead than “talk like a fool”. So she started to smoke again. She passed many years later and never had dementia.
@Free_PressHaving read several news outlets, including Reuters, I'm convinced that this part of Russia has had a terrible snow storm of historic magnitude recently. And also that this video is a complete AI fabrication exaggerating the amount of snow at least twentyfold.
@martinvermeer @yokofakun I don’t see your claim in the link, but it sounds like you’re saying that the concentrations of CO₂ in the atmosphere and ocean are far out of equilibrium, and would rapidly approach equilibrium by CO₂ moving into the ocean. If that rate hasn’t been keeping up with emissions already I don’t see why it would catch up quickly. But I suppose the idea does illustrate that I’d have to say more to justify treating that reference as a floor

Another super-hurricane is about to hit the Philippines. I've been doing one hurricane cartoon almost every year and the point of all of them is basically the same. These are from 2024, 2022, 2020 and 2019.#climatecrisis #hurricane #extremeweather
