I mean that’s biology. We can do some pretty cool stuff, but we just don’t understand how so much in the human body works. It’s so fucking complex.

I worked as an intern at a lab studying octopus vulgaris.

They are extremely sensitive to all sorts of things in the water. Keeping them well is very difficult. Although I would imagine if there are big but gradual changes in water environment, they would have a chance of adapting faster due to short life cycles and the fact that mating creates hundreds of thousands of eggs.

But they

  1. Have extremely short lifespan so a limited capacity to learn (1-2 years)
  2. Don’t raise their offspring, in fact after mating/laying eggs they naturally die, so no knowledge sharing
  3. Are extremely solitary and don’t have social bonds or do anything socially, so little communication/passing of knowledge

Yeah, “behavioural” can sound like it just means people who are antisocial or something, but it includes MDD, schizophrenia, dementia, parkinsons etc.

If you live in manhattan.

I used to love taking transit as a disabled person (when it was accessible), but now my condition has worsened so bad I cannot travel without being horizontal. Which means I need to pay caregivers to take me to medical appointments by car.

Interesting. Makes me wonder if it might play a role in some physical illnesses we haven’t found a cause for yet, especially immune mediated ones.

Decent article going more in depth

  • Are there exemptions, credits or discounts?
    Low-income drivers can register for a 50 percent discount after the first 10 trips in a month. During peak hours, drivers of passenger vehicles who enter Manhattan via four tunnels that already require tolls — the Lincoln, Holland, Hugh L. Carey and Queens-Midtown — will receive a credit of up to $3 against the daily congestion charge.

Excellent. But I do wish there was an exemption for disabled people on SSDI.

When you’re on 10k income per year, and have no mobility without a car, it basically means you can’t go in/out of manhattan on your own money.

That graph shows he lost 30%, not half?

YUP.

The average redditor used to be center left (liberal) but now it feels like its going to the right.
