🤝 Community Tard Baby General (includes brain dead kids) - Fundies and their genetic Fuckups; Parents of corpses in denial

[Blonde Bomb]

I can tell you right now if you plunked me and that boy in the middle of an African forest, he’d survive far longer than I would. He may have microcephaly but he’s in tune with how to survive in his world. I’d have to follow him around and watch him to figure out which grasses I could eat and how to survive.

I wonder if they tend to be treated more like equals with allowances made because of their disabilities. Their communities aren't as exposed to the outside and may not have the stigma that modern societies have, they've seen people survive and be productive members of their community....just some early morning musings.

No, from what I’ve seen there is more stigma and cruelty in most developing countries towards disabled people and far less coddling. I mean the kid in the video is called a monkey and the local kids laugh about him eating grass. The attitude changes only when his presence results in cake and someone with a car coming to the village to meet him. Now he’s suddenly a local celebrity.

It actually makes the disabled or afflicted a lot tougher and more apt to overcome many challenges, because they don’t really have a choice. It’s a survive or die type of environment and all humans have an amazing survival instinct if pushed. Also that kid had an A+ mom on his side. The family makes all the difference in these situations.

Many times disabled kids are abandoned by their families. I got the idea that the place the boy was taken to meet the other microcephalic kids were kids who had been abandoned and were now being cared for by an organization.

I mean in sub-Saharan Africa albinos (who are totally normal except for physical attributes) are killed for their body parts which are believed to have magical powers. It’s a tough continent to have any sort of affliction or difference (physical or mental).

There's even one albino kid in the school for disabled in the video. From what I've gathered, albinos are very often more or less blind as well though, so it's usually a little bit more than just physical attributes (which makes them even more exposed I guess, it seems to suck pretty fucking bad to be albino in Africa in any case - but I digress).

I know someone who's albino, his vision is extremely poor & needs fairly thick glasses but other than that, not much else wrong

From my experience working in Nigeria back in the day, there's a pretty stark contrast between "things that went wrong that we understand" and "things that went wrong that we don't understand."

Amputees, for example, are generally treated better there than in the US. Same with people with broken bones that didn't heal correctly that caused a very visible deformity. Practically everything else is a hard nope.

Sickle cell was common in the area I worked in. You've got an autosomal recessive disorder in a population group that normally has several children. Some would die, some would be healthy. The folklore is that the first child who died keeps coming back as a spirit and tries to kill your other children.

Now obviously it's not the dead child's spirit coming back. It's just sickle cell inherited from the parents and poor access to modern medical care. If you try to talk about how some of their children will inherit genes from their parents that might make them very sick they're not going to understand and they're going to be very mad that you're accusing them of killing their children somehow.

I know it's an exploitative documentary to generate ad revenue, but what a precious boy. I wish I could bring him to America and put him in a loving home.

They seem to be pretty bright considering their disability.

Not to Sperg but in Africa, Albinos are brutalized and sought after for their limbs and heads for "cures" for disease, good luck, take your pick. It's terrible.

SSI/disability are so fucked up in the US that there's an entire cottage industry formed around getting people onto them. It's generally assumed your first application for benefits will be denied no matter what even if you have a seemingly slam-dunk claim (like a missing limb or a firm conviction that the voices want you to assassinate Lincoln). There's an appeal process which can take years to navigate (and plenty of people think it's essentially a shit test to filter out scammers; bad luck for people who really need it quickly I guess). If the government ends up ruling in your favor, they'll pay you a lump sum amounting to whatever you would have received if they hadn't dicked you around for two years (starting from the date of your initial application).

Lawyers who specialize in this process operate pretty much exactly like ambulance chasers -- they don't charge clients anything up front to represent them and get them through the appeal process but they take a percentage of the payoff. For ambulance chasers, that means the insurance settlement. For disability lawyers, it means the lump sum payment. They claim a very healthy slice of it (sometimes even 50%). And just like the ambulance chasers, they're very careful to only take cases they know they can win.

It's deeply offensive to me how easily grifters can sneak through on the first try while people with literal missing limbs or practically pretzel-shaped bodies get put through the wringer first before Uncle Sam begrudgingly decides to part with our tax dollars to help someone who actually needs it.


It's cultural appropriation, too. Producing bizarre names -- with absurd spellings only an uneducated moron could achieve -- used to be the exclusive purview of joggers. Now whitey's moving in on that action too.

There's a cap on lawyer fees. 6k or 25 percent, whichever comes first. But if you take your disability case to federal court, then lawyers are no longer bound to that fee schedule. Fees must be approved by the SSA first before lawyers get their cut. 50 percent cut is not possible.

Federal appeals cases are rare, though.

jumping back to the holoprosencephaly discussion for a second - i just saw this lovely tater on instagram. i don't speak, uh, that's Portuguese, isn't it?, so i can't exactly provide details, but Isaac here is 15 months old, has alobar holoprosencephaly according to the bio, and his parents seem to strongly favour the 'physiotherapy' school of Robyn Grogitsky of Luna's big headed fame (aka poke your potato enough times and its reaction might just look like conscious movement). he also looks like Eli Blodgett's long lost lil spud brother, poor thing

Spoiler: PT videos

 

[Puta Bruja]

Holy fuck lol what exactly is the person trying to do w the potato in the video above? She's coming off as somewhat impatient but I could b wrong. The sped doesn't seem to mind much anyway. It has no reaction at all to being man handled lol

She’s congratulating him for being able to keep his head straight lol she may sound a bit harsh but to me it sounds like she’s just talking and moving following a stereotypical pattern to get a reaction out of the kid.

 

[GenociderSyo]

This is kinda interesting in relation to the disorder being discussed and the choice of the parents.

I know Brazil has some pretty restrictive abortion laws (I think even to abort potato fetuses you have to go before a judge) so I can understand why people there might not have a choice but to carry these things to term. Still doesn't mean they have to pointlessly prolong the existence of hopeless cases like with this one.

The difference between this kid and the African kids with microcephaly is like night and day. Imagine how many kids like that who are just disabled but otherwise ok could be helped with the money spent on trying to induce seizures in potatoes

Yeah, snapping her fingers at him should do the trick. He should snap out of it and sit up and hold his head up. Sounds about right.

New MOLLY Mae post, and its, uh, something

I don't get it. Get you ultrasounds! You can abort!!!

Considering Brazil is a catholic country how many women even want to abort? Do the poorest women even consider it when they find out their pregnancy has gone horribly wrong? Do those same women even have access to basic prenatal care to know if their pregnancy has gone wrong? I hope someone has an answer because I'd really like to know.

I would imagine even a devoted Catholic might be willing to consider abortion in extreme circumstances like an alobar potato fetus. Some might not, but I'd imagine at least a few would be. Lack of prenatal care is probably a big thing though.

Idk I know the Catholic church overall is pretty Islamic about allowing abortion even in cases of doomed potato fetuses, but I feel like I've seen catholics and former catholics ITT mentioning that exceptions happen (I guess it depends on the quality of the local priest or whatever).

In other news funeral date/time for Molly Mae was announced. That itself isn't weird or noteworthy, what got me was the emphasis that all kids are welcome and encouraging them to attend. Hope for their sake it's a closed casket service at least.

Also its apparently gonna be live streamed, in case anyone wants to watch a funeral for a dead almost-cyclops


Personally I think even normal funerals for actual people (instead of horrifically deformed potatoes) aren't exactly the best thing to drag really little kids to. Kindergarten and younger kids probably arent gonna really understand or get much out of it thw way older ones might. If I had to invite kids to a dead spud funeral I'd want to have a minimum age of kids who would at least be able to understand the basics of what happened and why.

Most children do not have a concept of the finality of death untiil Age 7. Around 5 or 6 they have a very fantastical view of it.
Before that it really has no way for them to comprehend it.

There's are two really creepy true crime episodes that aired with children and sudden death.
One was a three year old that just acted like the mom was sleeping and went about his 3 year old business even sleeping with the mother and such until he finally was found wandering the neighboorhood,

Another was a 5 year old who called 911 the call is pretty chilling because to all but the child its clear the parent is deceased.


This was posted by Paisley's Mom:

It appears people are confronting her about the fact she got a hearing aid for her daughter and does not use it.

Yeah that sounds about right, isn't it a literal brain development thing where a kids brain has to reach X stage of development before they're capable of understanding the concept of death?

It might be interesting to peak at the livestream, it's not everyday we get livestreamed potato funerals. Hell, even Gwen Hartley refrained from posting even pics from both her spuds funerals, and we all know otherwise Gwen was all about oversharing.

Vaguely related powerlevel, a friend of mines ex went to a funeral for a late term stillborn at a fairly conservative church once that featured the preacher making a bizarre and unnecessary joke about how women shouldn't be able to preach. Dude was fairly conservative himself and even he was fuming over how inappropriate it was.
