In 1998, Baker, Ruoff, and Madoff that the organism is most likely a species of Mycoplasma called Mycoplasma phocacerebrale.[7] This Mycoplasma was isolated in an epidemic of seal disease occurring in the Baltic Sea.[8]

It's not that we don't know what causes it, and it can be cultured from seals and has been. It's that in order to empirically and categorically say in any way that matters that the organism is definitely the cause of seal finger...

You would need to be culturing a person infected with the disease from whom treatment is being withheld. Either against their will or with their "consent" wouldn't matter. As we know what the disease can lead to, the ethical course of treatment is clear: a bunch of culture ruining antibiotics injected into you. Right away, without delay.

Because asking or even taking advantage of someone declining treatment to assess and write the confirmation study that says "Mycoplasma phocacerebrale definite cause of seal finger" goes against a lot of ethical science limitations.

This is what makes the donating the affected limb of someone who never got care for science post-mortem also work as both a neat joke and ethical loophole. Researchers could accept that gift, ethically.

If you both let it, it's assumptions all the way down. If you look closely, you'll even spot the communication problem in microcosm.

That...that's the point of the anger at the corporate greed.

Believe what you want to believe and may it chase you as you deserve every night.

But keep your goalpost moving grubby mitts from the idea you know words or are any good with them.

Being disingenuous is piss easy and transparent, cool the back patting.

Learn to read what others comment, so that at least you can keep consistency if you're gonna clutter public forums with your drivel.

I wonder if any of the sycophants remaining to stare at the dangling keys to power like mesmerized toddlers would even retain the presence and ability to scheme.

That's one long cultivated and pruned garden of shitbaggery with a history of rich men whose abilities extend to amassing stolen wealth and an inability to handle windows. How many Kingmakers could possibly remain?

The whole house of cards may fall after time's dues are paid and Putin finally runs out of track to run away from his pedestrian mortality.

Not willing to entertain bets on whether that will be the time of changes or more "and then it got worse" though.

You can use every language in the world to define any other word in any other language and it still does not save you from semantic pitfalls and poor rhetoric.

The solution seems simple. AG Bailey and Judge Hickle both need to be seen engaging in [illegal action they are innocent of] by a sane Missouri Justice System officer and an arrest warrant issued for them.

Only death row inmates...it's not just that it's beyond the pale but it's so stupid while it's at it I can't summon words.

There is. The more they stumble, the more they are questioned. The answers to the question cannot be anything but utmost certainty because "maybe" is simply not a message that sways anyone.

Pretty answers don't change reality though, so the stumbles continue or even increase leading to more questions and the doubling down. You just can't do anything else unless you're ready to commit to another answer.

My mom says they make me look handsome and agrees that it's neat that I can carry all the sticks and rocks we find at the park!

Fuck. I cleaned everything on tax day and forgot to file!

I see your points through the semantic fog. You had it at a problem of definitions and it doesn't appear to have gone away. One side defending personal intent and the other highlighting historic institutional malaise. Very little actually discussing, you both just happened to be making adjacent points in the same topic for the most part.

They're right in their analysis of the mores and norms that the system allows, even if their claim of no good people existing under a broken system is absurd.

You ain't in bad faith, it's more exhausting to get pinged by friendly IFF misreadings than extreme ideological opposites nowadays. That whole leftists eating leftists series of jokes applies somewhat.
