Offense is overrated anyway.

most of the kids in the video were probably misdiagnosed as having brain-eating lyme disease when it was pretty clear they just suffered from a condition called being italian

There's a huge group of those patients when you take together all the fake diseases. Chronic Lyme, Toxic Mold, Fibromalygia, Morgellon's.

I want to know whether they have these issues because they're crazy? Or are they driven crazy because they have some not-well-understood auto-immune disease that no one can treat and then they latch onto whatever quack comes along and tells them "Oh yeah, you have Chronic Lyme for sure"?

Obviously, all these kids in the video were getting fed Draino consummé.

I’ve been told that the Chuck McGill types (EMH, being convinced you’re allergic to electricity) often actually have ALS or MS or some other incurable, basically untreatable neurological illness.

Every time I've encountered people who thought Fibromyalgia was fake before now was someone who was confusing it for Morgellon's (which is total bullshit) but you're the first I've met whose actually known what Morgellon's was but still thinks "chronic nerve pain" is somehow an unbelievably fake disease.

Well that's a piss off. Pay a goddamn artist you fuckers. People were going to find out and downplaying it by saying "it's only a few spots!" doesn't change the fact.

If they’re “only” using AI in “a few places” then surely it wouldnt have been a big deal to “only” pay artists to make real art in “a few places”

It came up in the thread when the trailer was going around and people had hoped it was only for the trailers. It sucks since it's not even particularly good AI art. They could have used that as a concept and then paid someone a legitimately cheap amount to remake it with extra clarity and detail.

No, I think I just had it confused for Morgellons. I thought there was a separate one for "fibers under my skin!!!" and "insects under my skin!!!" but apparently they're the same.

i personally know a bunch of people who have gotten lyme and a couple who continue to experience fatigue issues/brain fog etc years later so it's definitely a thing that can happen but yeah i'm not sure this VHS did much to advance the cause

good ep all around i say

also, apropos of nothing, but when are we finally going to get the Ark animated series we've all been asking for?

I knew a guy who had it and ended up with half of his facial muscles paralyzed for something like 6 months. It didn't look like much fun.

Morgellons is definitely the one that's most plainly just totally insane and rarely anything but psychological. Like sometimes you have someone with some kind of skin condition claiming morgellons, but even then no one remotely right in the head is going to jump to "plastic/fabric fibers are sprouting up from under my skin".

It including bugs seems like a relatively recent development to me, seems like it used to only be named morgellons in reference to mystery fibers. Maybe some other crank stuff got combined with it over the years, like how conspiracy theories will katamari each other up from time to time.

I watched the first two episodes of Netflix's 3 body problem and what the gently caress it's really good so far? Benedict Wong and super hot lady ( like approaching peak Jay) definitely help. I don't know how they'll ever make the anime ninja big titty robot less embarassing if they get to it, but it already feels much less 4 Chan engineering student overall.

Between this and GOT maybe Benioff and Weiss are just genuinely really good at toning down if not removing author's Incel tendencies?

Reviews I've read are polarized on it. It seems like they're making it a mystery box show, so if it takes 2-3 years between seasons, the prospect of that is so exhausting that I don't even want to start it.
