[Larry David's Opera Cape]

To be honest, I think it’s a bit of both. There’s a long history in woke/SJ social circles of it being verboten to question people’s tales of victimhood, which has been enforced through a combination of painting skepticism as being something that hurts victims, treating sincere conversational questions as threats, and a lot of faux-empowering platitudes about how your lived experience was valid and you didn’t have to justify it to anyone. So you don’t publicly question anything—you either offer condolences or keep your mouth shut. The flip side of this, of course, is that nobody questions your stories.

I’ve always assumed it’s one of the things that contributes to KF’s bad (outward) reputation with those types: There’s a huge emphasis here on skepticism, evidence, and objective reality, which is the total opposite of the "my truth" mindset.

They took the general social nicety of "if someone tells you about a terrible misfortune, give them space and don't pry too much for details" and abused it to wave in all manner of grifting, exaggeration, fabrication, and malingering. They then point back to the original social taboo when people begin to get suspicious.

I can totally see Vicky being the kind of person who has done a commercial dna test but that most of it was predictable - German, Hungarian, English, whatever. So she never made a big deal out of the actual results. But I bet, like almost everybody with any amount of central EU heritage, there was probably a token <1% ashkenazi and she decided to run with it.

I just don’t understand the whole “accommodations” thing.

(Beyond bitch basic things like idk… Wheelchair access and chairs and shit.)

Like presumably the role of an education, is to ensure that you one day will have a job, no? It’s not a goddamn daycare

So what’s the point of accommodations like no or extra deadlines, that no employer would ever grant?

Just seems like a giant waste of everyone’s time.

I absolutely haven't read the last five-ish posts yet, but you guys, Myasthenia Gravis is absolutely the new IT disease for munchies. Holy shit.

I've been following this minor munchie for a while, and today, she posts this:


This chick has followed, nearly exactly, Vicky's munchie arc, and now seeing she's claiming MG at the same time? This is some Lyme Disease or Long Covid bullshit.

Sorry, should prob post this in munchie general, but wtf.

Too bad anthropology is as pozzed as all the other humanities, because we absolutely need someone with a big notebook, sturdy boots, and khaki jodhpurs to study this and find out what the hell is going on.

 

[Zemblan Physics]

Myasthenia Gravis is absolutely the new IT disease for munchies. Holy shit.

It makes a lot of sense: patients who really do have MG risk deterioration and an MG crisis (that may become so bad they need to be intubated) if they exercise too vigorously or become hyperthermic etc. A perfect excuse to lay around in bed all day collecting pity points and mutual aid. Also, IVIG is part of treatment and we all know how much munchies love their boutique drugs.

 

[behindyourightnow]

I think it's also because it can be genuinely hard to diagnose: there are a few different antibody tests for it, but they can all give false negatives, and some tests (like Vicky's supposed LRP4 antibody results) aren't well understood and can give false positives as well. Symptoms can also fluctuate, which means that 'physical' tests like electromyography don't always show it either. Which makes it a munchie jackpot.

Also, it has a cool name. The "gravis" makes it sound super serious.

 

[glioblastoma multiforme]

She met death in the hospital and saw souls. I'm not sure how she survived if the doctors did nothing. Later she attributes her survival in part to spite.

Genuine question, if you are able to have conversations with a doctor about ventilation, do you need ventilation? Over here breathing difficulties are treated as an emergency if you can't get a full sentence out, and non-emergent cases are dealt with quickly if they've been going on a few days by the time you seek advice about it. I guess they are possible to fake for short time periods but not weeks in hospital.

I'm starting to agree with others in the thread that speculate she might not be in hospital at all. Maybe she got a new flat but wanted to put some time between her homeless arc and admitting it so the internet's short memory would forget.

Those nasty doctors didn't believe her until they did some imaging and now are super sorry:


Oh wait, no, neuro still won't see her for her "probably neurological" in cause damage.



I was going to feel bad for her for a second about her supposed heart and lung damage but I think I'll save my fucks for someone more deserving.

Is "all the love I get" here referring to the minimal engagement she gets on twitter? That one person who turned up to see her? Or is it as imaginary as the rest of her life?

Yada yada the usual disclaimers about rare exceptions but basically: no. If you can spare breath to talk you can probably get by. Ventilators can save lives, but they can also end them. Once you are on, getting back off is not always so simple. And they predispose you to all the gnarliest forms of pneumonia. They should be avoided right up until the point where it's go on one or circle the drain.

Hm, I wonder if there's anything else that could potentially cause problems with the function of the lungs and diaphragm.



Now imagine, if you will, this hypothetical condition also causing heart damage:



I hope she has "go home and wash your CPAP, you fat fuck" written on her discharge papers.

But I bet, like almost everybody with any amount of central EU heritage, there was probably a token <1% ashkenazi and she decided to run with it.

And it might also just be a wacky artefact of the dna testing process. I know someone who lives in the middle of the pacific (part white, part Polynesian) and can track their family tree back 9 or more generations (early 1700s) and their commercial dna test also had a 1% Jewish result.

My friend had a good laugh at it because if there's any truth to the result, it's so far in the past as to be utterly meaningless.

But if you got that sort of result and you're a privileged white such-and-such like Vicky who's desperate to get on the victim hierarchy? Bingo!! Payday!

And it might also just be a wacky artefact of the dna testing process. I know someone who lives in the middle of the pacific (part white, part Polynesian) and can track their family tree back 9 or more generations (early 1700s) and their commercial dna test also had a 1% Jewish result.

Those tests are based entirely on correlation. They select a few markers, single variations in bases called SNPs, hat they've found to vary between individuals at various locations. I don't see how it can even, in theory, make super fine grained predictions. They simply don't have enough representatives from various minorities to do so. If more people are labelled as from Germany than France, then more people will be assigned German heritage simply because of the imbalance in their dataset.

It also makes little sense to start going back generations, people move, country boundaries move. IIRC if you go back 1000 years, every person who left progeny is your ancestor. (Source: vague recollection from A Brief History of Everyone Who Has Ever Lived by Adam Rutherford). I just checked and Ancestry takes autosomal DNA, so it gets the variation from both parents at least. Humans are mostly homozygous (our chromosomes from each parent are mostly the same) so the alleles from each parent match. This broad similarity means there is information at the loci they vary, and where they vary from common alleles, but its not enough to give more than a broad brush.

23andMe got in trouble for giving disease markers. Most genetic diseases don't have a single gene, they arise from a constellation of genes, and epigenetic markers (completely lost in SNP arrays, the tech these companies used) modulate transcription.

PSA: Don't give your DNA to commercial companies if you can avoid it.

Could you post this so I too can learn the warning signs of a STEM LARPer?!

Its private, her grift is mainly local. This tweet from Vicky is a good warning sign/ example of a potential STEM larper:

General overconfidence isnt a great warning sign because you'll find that everywhere in STEM, but specific "breakthrough's" followed by no evidence is one indicator.

They also tend to insert their disabilities into their research, so you're more likely to find them in NIH funded research areas (Neuroscience and neuropsych in particular). While it is normal for people to pursue research in topics they relate to and are passionate about, its not normal to make half of your weekly presentation about your experience. Like no one cares about your recent doctor appointment. Talk about what you did in the lab tf.

They tend to take on more classes than they can handle so they can earn sympathy and feel above others. They often like to take over the professors lectures.

STEM LARPers arent there to learn, they just want clout and unearned recognition. Like they'll be the last author on a publication and act like they're the first author on LinkedIn. They'll talk a good game but the actual quality of their work is sad. I have also noticed a tendency to hate AI, even if its being used for valid and legitimate reasons.

I just don’t understand the whole “accommodations” thing.

Like presumably the role of an education, is to ensure that you one day will have a job, no? It’s not a goddamn daycare

So what’s the point of accommodations like no or extra deadlines, that no employer would ever grant?

Completely agree.

Spoiler: slight PL

The only accommodations I ever needed was a quiet room for testing and additional time (that I didnt usually need because a quiet room was generally enough). The rooms have camera's to prevent cheating as well. My university would not offer unlimted or extra deadlines as an accomodation. If they did, I imagine it would be for someone genuinely unwell and undergoing like chemo or some shit. Deadlines, are my responsibility and in my control. I cant request "rent accomodations," or "patent accomodations," for deadlines unless something legitimately urgent occurs with proof.

I think accomodations in academia should have some parallel with the real world. I'll never take a test outside school, so I don't think that having a quiet place to take an exam is too unfair. I currently work in R&D and spend my time between the lab and data analysis. I dont have or need any work accomodations.

Being on time, making deadlines, reviewing your work, etc are all things that someone needs to learn to manage and accommodate for themselves. For example: I always set a project deadline for 3 days before the actual deadline so that I have buffer time. I plan to leave for work 30 minutes before necessary in case I run late. I keep my afternoon medication in my desk so I dont accidentally forget it at home. Small things like this are ways I "accomodate" myself, but they're barely accomodations. They're more like tips. If I fuck up, that's on me and I have to deal with consequences.

That post is such a gold mine of self-unawareness. Anyone with a shred of rationality who has studied human biology and drug use at all would realize that after days awake on a stim binge, you'll come up with the world's most incredible ideas about whatever you fixate on, that are 100% not actual ideas and can't be replicated once you come down. But somehow she seems to think she was actually a supergenius in the exact timespan when she had abused her stimulant prescription.

I do think it's going to be hard for the hospital to discharge Vicki if she's making it hard to wean her off of O2 and she has no fixed address. That's not the kind of thing they can do. Can any hospital-experienced Kiwis tell us a little bit about their options here? In my non-hospital-experienced mind, I would think "maybe they can discharge her to some sort of adult protective services group home, or some kind of transitional housing program?" but I have no idea how any of that shit works. Please enlighten us!

Her parents are still out there and presumably able to take her back in a pinch. Can she just neglect to mention that they exist?

Now granted, I am still at least 50% in this camp:

I'm starting to agree with others in the thread that speculate she might not be in hospital at all. Maybe she got a new flat but wanted to put some time between her homeless arc and admitting it so the internet's short memory would forget.

But having said as much, if that's not the case and she really is in the hospital going on week two, on oxygen, and is also telling the truth about the latest results showing weakness in her diaphragm, Vicky may be closer than she realizes to achieving her ultimate goal. Depending on what level of "help" she is getting, she may be about to cook her breathing apparatus the same way she cooked her mobility. The longer it goes on, the stronger the possibility becomes that she will be truly incapacitated and need significant assistance building back up to normal strength. BiPAP and high flow for sure can cause this after longish spans, and of course a vent would.

In my non-hospital-experienced mind, I would think "maybe they can discharge her to some sort of adult protective services group home, or some kind of transitional housing program?" but I have no idea how any of that shit works. Please enlighten us!

It depends what resources are available in her area: sometimes there are homeless camps/shelters specially aimed at post-hospital care, when someone needs a fixed address and running water for home health nurses to do dressing changes. If those are available to her, they'd review and be concerned that there was no discharge plan--Vickie intends to linger.

If it were only the oxygen use, they'd be able to reach out to homeless shelters with a medical hall, but Vickie would be able to refuse. Since she's "falling" and requiring assistance with ADLs, they could try to discharge her to a SNF, but a SNF would look at her homelessness (citation needed) and read through the notes and realize that Vickie doesn't want to rehab and get better.

Long-term care needs a lot of paperwork and time waiting on intake and again, if Vickie doesn't actually want to go to these places (she doesn't) she is capable for now of becoming "better."

I suspect that once she starts to get serious discharge planning, people coming in with lists of medically-appropriate shelter options and telling her they're leaving voicemails, she starts improving, Placing a patient on supplemental oxygen who needs butt wiping and mayo-handling isn't an immediate thing; there will be faxes and phone calls and at least a day of warning, which is enough time to remember how to breathe deeply.

And that's assuming any of these hypothetical facilities have an open bed. (Pooner thing likely complicates any room-sharing before Vickie even has to start howling about COVID.) Some patients literally stay in the hospital for a year or more, stable and nonacute, but there's nowhere they can go. It's kind of a "you touched them last lol" problem.

But for now, Vickie's able to get off oxygen and rediscover the spoons to wipe her butt, once she gets credibly threatened with an unglamorous discharge.

n.b. I'm nowhere near NY and available resources vary by location. I'd think they had options for the decrepit homeless problem by virtue of volume, though.

I see you've met savant syndrome statistician and former anal athlete Zinnia Jones.

But having said as much, if that's not the case and she really is in the hospital going on week two, on oxygen, and is also telling the truth about the latest results showing weakness in her diaphragm, Vicky may be closer than she realizes to achieving her ultimate goal. Depending on what level of "help" she is getting, she may be about to cook her breathing apparatus the same way she cooked her mobility. The longer it goes on, the stronger the possibility becomes that she will be truly incapacitated and need significant assistance building back up to normal strength. BiPAP and high flow for sure can cause this after longish spans, and of course a vent would.

I wonder, and this is based on vibes, if they discharged her in a boring way and she's just not going to post about it now that she's no longer inpatient.

Vickie doesn't care about blueballing her readers, and does sometimes abandon a story arc to pick up a new one; as people have said before, asking questions is forbidden. If she were still inpatient and trying to get intubated, she'd be posting about that, or she'd be posting about the unjust and oppressive discharge planning.

Even with a dozen posts about her death from Lung Disabled, if she were inpatient she'd still be bitching about hospital-specific things like infection control or Dietary not having enough variety as they meet her multiple allergies and intolerances.
