what about the lower hand?

I'm sorry you're dealing with that. I have fibromyalgia and ptsd, depression, and anxiety, and they all feed into each other, as I'm sure you're aware, so I personally understand trying treatment after treatment without any real help. Our daughter has hyperthyroidism and rheumatoid arthritis and we have personally witnessed the debilitating effects of it, and what pissed me off the most was her mom (I'm step) actually called her lazy.

I took her to the Dr when she was shuffling like a 70 year old who had also lost tons of weight due to lack of appetite. This happened around covid, so there had been some time in between visits with the kids, and her condition was shocking.

I can't imagine getting on anyone for feeling too bad to move. You're feeling bad enough. Why add to it? My husband never gets on me, and I can't express how appreciative I am of that, but at the same time, I know that's how it should be.

I hope your wife's perspective on your ailment improves and (most of all) that you find a treatment that works for you.

Again, I'm sorry for your condition and the added pressure you must be feeling due to attitudes about it. I've had people call me a liar, one of the kids when they were younger had an attitude that I was just lazy because I just couldn't do anything, you get it.

It really sucks to have an invisible but very real health condition. Especially one that can so wear on you mentally when the physical just won't let up. Many people lack so much understanding on that particular factor in unrelenting pain. Their attitude just stacks something on top of it that you really dont need, and I hope for you that the attitude towards you relents, at the very least.

A sophisticated predator, nature's perfect killing machine, the vicious wolf stalks its prey with purpose and skill. It was only with years of selective breeding and genetic altering that this noble beast was transformed into man's subservient little buddy.

Alcohol isn't really an antibiotic medication. If a doctor tried treating a staph infection with alcohol I think the patient would die before the bacteria.

I'm actually not being cynical. New classes of antibiotics is great as a stopgap, but the problem with antibiotics resistance will not be solved before the overuse and misuse stops. It's not a scientific problem, it's a legal and societal problem. Believing that it's possible to make an antibiotic medication without the risk of resistance means you won't work strategically to prevent resistance, which will render new classes of antibiotics useless within years

Do you understand what unfalsifiable means? There is no scientific test for free will.

Acknowledging what is beyond the scope of science is indeed appropriate for r/science. But I'm thinking you're just a troll.

Sure. Agency is just the state of being active. Any robot, machine or stone rolling down a hill has agency.

The issue is that we are all just small portions of the big machine or lifeform of the universe. You can imagine us as individual blood cells within the body of the universe. The universe programmed our brains bound by physical determinism and set us off.

We are only experienceing what the universe set in motion eons ago.

Easy cleanup I guess. Unless you're some freak with a carpeted bathroom

I see your point. I think what I meant is that free will and having agency aren't mutually inclusive. You can have agency and no absolute free will .

There is nothing to argue? Great take here on r/science...

>It's on a spectrum Perhaps we have some limited form of agency which is deterministic and yet unpredictable/undecidable Basically.

If you have to do what the diceroll/random number generator/coin flip tells you, you do not have free will. You have random will. Sure if you redefine free will to mean not free will you can have all the free will you want...

In other science news ...the more Mexican you look the more likely you eat tacos.

But not coyotes, unfortunately.

Uh, dude. It was a joke. Because "I don't want to" is along the lines of exercising free will. Get it?

I think we're all well aware that there is no empirical test of free will. There's nothing to argue either way. So I was making a funny, you see?

Eesh.

That's why they need the collar.
