@stolas@elekk.xyz I hope you feel better soon.

It's well understood that big pharma has no incentive to cure diseases: they make more money by developing unique, patentable chemicals rather than using existing (unpatentable) natural compounds & remedies. Also, they seldom seek a *cure* - they make far more money from a lifelong treatment, ideally one with side-effects requiring further treatment.

The software industry is precisely the same - they want to sell you a treatment you pay for every month, not "buy once, problem solved".

@Juju I'm part polynesian, and I haven't heard that abbreviation used before.

I don't think I've heard this version of the happy birthday song before

Hot Take:

Most internet culture (memes, video game mods, "pirating", etc) is a great example of a "Gift Economy" where people contribute to the culture simply because they want to.

People work really hard for no direct gain. Hours of work, for free and little credit.

@jimpjorps Foreskins aren't the only sex organs that need protection, everyone deserves autonomy over their own body. Non consensual genital surgery is also common for intersex people: youtube.com/watch?v=9yHAYOvTdM
I have an intersex friend who was left intact, but forced sex reassignment happens a lot.
