Not trying to make light of the situation, but some strains of avian flu can cause rapid shifts of lethargy and mania, the sort of mania that involves attacking anything that comes near them. The mania comes from mild brain swelling that occurs in certain strains. This one seems no different, though so far the human cases have not shown such mania. But if we’re not careful and unlucky enough to start exhibiting such symptoms in human patients, we may essentially end up in a ‘zombie’ scenario.

It's not about being anonymous, that's the standard.

It's about thinking that posting a single phrase that you could have simply googled is proof at all of your ability to read, write, or speak Latin.

But you already know that. You're just trying to avoid it.

Ignoring an issue just because it's obvious does a disservice to those who are suffering from these mental issues.

Imagine being a soldier and struggling with PTSD and other issues tied to the horrific things you see on a daily basis, and then a civilian goes "yeah well water is wet". These are humans, not machines. We need to collectively acknowledge this and talk about it.

So easy to say that when you're sitting in the comfort of your home far away from conflict.

We can't just collectively say "yeah PTSD sucks, but it's worth it" and just brush it off. We need to acknowledge the INSANE sacrifices these defenders have given every single day, and ensure they have the full appreciation, support and treatment for when they finally come back home.

No you don’t understand, the navy uses skiffs, the army uses dinghies

I’d ask for a source but it’s probably the same place you thought you learned what a scif is for
