Make less shit, factories would slow down, less resources used, less pollution emitted, less energy used, and as a result, there would be at least some positive impact on climate change.

Granted it might be minimal, even negligible, but it would make some difference.

Thanks for responding!

I’ll drop this extra link while I’m here…

I remind myself of… Fuck I forgot.

Nah for real though, occasionally I remind myself to not take bullshit or threats from others.

Shit, even if I post some off-the-wall words occasionally, maybe I just had a bad day, ignore my dumb shit and downvote me into oblivion.

At heart I’m actually a genuinely caring person, but sometimes we all have bad days.

I don’t give any shit, I just share my shit, like any average person.

As is appropriate for new friends, I share my shit with you 💩

How we gonna melt steel, copper, titanium, tungsten, etc?

Sadly, fossil fuels aren’t going away anytime soon. ☹️

Our standards of living should not include planned obsolescence where you gotta buy or exchange a new phone every year, stuff should be designed to last at least 10 years, if not longer…

The existing terms I tend to hear are ‘brain fog’, CRS (can’t remember shit), and for those with a few more braincells still intact, ‘CRAFT’, or Can’t Remember A Fucking Thing.

Yes, I gather that basically any doctor worth their weight in salt should interpret those sort of terms as the patient has brain/memory issues, but isn’t there some easier and less self-insulting term than CRS or CRAFT?

Ban planned obsolescence and make a rigorous standard that any new device is designed repairable, reliable and long lasting enough to last at least 10 years if treated right, 20+ years for vehicles and machinery…

This whole ‘you gotta get a new thing every year’ era causes sooo much unnecessary waste and pollution ☹️

Taylor who?

Fuck Reddit

Thanks AI!

Pronunciation of Dementia

The word “dementia” is pronounced as follows: Phonetic Spelling

dih-MEN-shuh

So where the hell did the T in dementia come from in the first place, when in place of the T it’s pronounced with the SH sound? Yet another unnecessarily confusing word. Sigh, English is fun like that huh?

I never said to change the existing words, I’m just suggesting to do like almost every other word or phrase and have a shorthand, easier to remember/communicate acronym or something.

Imagine actually being a person suffering with brain/memory issues. You know you have a condition, but you can’t remember what the hell the doctor called it to save your life.

That’s fucking embarrassing to them, I’ve seen that firsthand more than once. ☹️

Guess you never had both your mental doctors die huh?

How is “dementia” more difficult than other words?

Dementia is never even pronounced right the way it’s spelled.

It’s spelled that way, but it’s pronounced “dihmenshuh”

You’re missing the whole point.

The disabled patient should be able to memorize the name of their own condition, if at all possible at least. Disabled people don’t 100% of the time have other people available to help.

No shit, I already stated that most medical terms have Latin roots.

What sane person you know that speaks Latin?

What mentally handicapped people speak Latin?..

Yes, it’s easy for most people to say and spell dementia. Except for some of the people actually suffering from brain/memory disorders…

Also, the fewer syllables for people suffering brain/memory issues, the easier it is for them to communicate.

Nobody expects a person with brain problems to remember the entire medical encyclopedia, but it would make it quite a bit easier to shorten the most common brain disorders, where the suffering person might be able to remember and say it on their own.

No, not specifically Alzheimer’s anyways.

But for almost the past decade, I’ve been helping care for people that have had stroke, partly paralyzed, have brain damage, mute and unable to speak from birth, etc.

Thank you for asking though. I actually do have genuine care for disabled people. Even if I’m not a complete expert in the field, I do what I can. They don’t have many people actually willing to help.

Does it hurt to think about ways to help better? Like what if something happens, and I can no longer help?

Yes, Teflon is a brand name, that’s not exactly my point. My point is that basically everyone knows what Teflon is, because of the short name.

The only thing more well known across the world is LOL, and nobody standardized that, it just came to be as the internet grew.

Is it that difficult to give brain damaged people a simple three letter acronym like FTD that’s easy to remember if they have to talk with emergency services or other doctors?

I’m pretty sure that if a patient came in slurring their words and all they could basically remember to say was ‘I can’t remember much, but my last doctor said I have FTD’, then if the acronym was standardized, every doctor would know what they mean.
