  • Daisy, once a healthy and energetic child, got sick about a month ago. She came down with a fever, sore throat, and eventually pneumonia.

    The family tried to treat their daughter at home with cod liver oil, popular in the community for helping to ‘strengthen the immune system’.

    But when that failed, they took her to the hospital.

    Hold on. So let me get this straight.

    1. Little girl is sick.
    2. Cod liver oil didn’t work.
    3. Took her to the hospital.
    4. Unfortunately, it didn’t work.

    And this guy blames the Hospital?

    Wow. You might as blame God, Mickey Mouse, and Tiktok dancers who also failed to keep her alive as well.

    Goodreads is like Yelp for books.

    Find a book written by a right wing author. Hundreds of ratings, and the reviews don’t even talk about the book beyond the description. Lots of pesudo-science and bad faith arguments.

    I got scammed by a few books. And worse, call out the issues with the books and your review gets shadow banned. Amazon doesn’t have a urgency to remove these fake reviews because it’ll affect sales.

    Lemmy feels a lot more like old reddit.

    New Reddit feels artificial. The written content posts LOOK like they’re from AI. Much of the subreddits are now curated. You can’t say Luigi.

    Here, it’s a bit of a wild west. And that’s okay.

    There isn’t much written content posts. But the comments? I’m loving it. It comes off genuine. Human. Real. Even the shitty ones that make me want to downvote but damn do I somewhat see their perspective.
