    had to spend time with my dementia grandmother for 6-7 hours yesterday, gosh it killed my brain cells… let me put it this way: the only reason everyone present is restraining themselves and not go berserk is not because we sympathise her condition but because we do not wish to be treated like this if we get dementia in the future.

    She’s stuck in some kind of a loop and would ask so many personal questions, but just to repeat them a few dozen seconds later until you tell her to calm down and sit there quietly like telling off a kid. then she would start her self-loathing cycle about how useless she is to try and gain sympathy.

    And thennnnnnn she will ask if i want to eat chicken soup and she would check on her chickens and accuse the maids and neighbours for killing her chicken when CLEARLY the chicken is there, alive, kicking and doing their autistic screeches REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE…

    also i’m low key worried about me getting dementia in the future because the gene is REALLY strong in my family - both my mother side and father side grandma have dementia weh…

      I think these days you can actually find services to sequence your genes to calculate likelihood… But I cakap kosong because idk what’s the Malaysia landscape looks like for the legit ones.

        lol, i mean assuming if that figure is accurate i literally can’t do anything. it’s basically RNG lol. I believe FDA fast-tracked dementia medication, which can only delay further progression of the disease. I don’t think it can be prevented…

          Ooh that’s got me curious - for this case when both parental lines have history, does that not matter in assessing likelihood or just not at all?

            dementia can be caused by single gene (simple inheritance), or multiple gene variants, or by interactions between those variants with your lifestyle and environment (complex inheritance). If it’s the simple type, and your parents both have the same mutation, you definitely would get it. Complex is less straightforward- you likely did inherit at least 1 copy, but it won’t necessarily mean you will for sure get it. In fact you may not even develop it. It does increase the risk though, and some say healthy diet and healthy lifestyle can reduce this risk to zero.

    Whoa: horrible not even funny twitter news. I’ll put spoiler tags to the summary because it’s about pedo content

    CSAM mention

    ___ OK Melon Husk finally did something SO REPULSIVE that I think I genuinely can’t any more.

    I highly recommend you don’t learn too much about it, but let’s just say that an “influencer” posted some stills from one of the most disgusting child sex/murder videos ever made by our species. I’m not going to link to anything but Google “Peter Scully” if you need to know.

    Twitter’s barely-functional trust and safety team very rightly banned this “influencer”. Melon Husk PERSONALLY reinstated the guy.

    This thread (Nitter link) spells out the legal implications

    Feel good fedi thread of the day or maybe week?

    OP: As a blind Mastodonian who is made happy by alt text every day, I’d like to request anyone who feels inclined or able, to post and describe insects. I’ve really enjoyed the occasional alt text describing flying and crawling things.

    The comments honestly are so layan and lovely. I very terharu ok, rl crying a bit.

      His sub-F tiers are amusing.

      For me I knew a lot of US state flag designs cannot pass the emoji test (recognisable at small size/from afar). But I didn’t know some flags were updated, like Utah’s (will officially adopt March 2024).

      You don’t, but you can subscribe to the comms on that instance from your instance here.

      If they’re already federated with monyet.cc, in the search bar search !(community)@(instance). Unless it’s kbin, then it’s @name@instance.

      If not (or just in general), get the full http url and paste in your home instance search bar and then subscribe

        i find it much easier to paste the lemmy link like !memes@lemmy.ml into a random textbox, click preview and click the generated link. example !memes@lemmy.ml

        No problem if monyet.cc is not federated to them yet. Usually if it is not federated yet refresh the page after a couple of minutes and then you can subscribe.
