I've been very surprised, and I guess I shouldn't be, that so many folks are taking such a hard black or white stance on this. There's folks who've literally pushing ingestion of Chlorine Dioxide to eliminate coronavirus, or conflating HBOT with inhaling ozone to "clean" the lungs. I 100% believe that transparency and understanding when and why things are taken down can help, but there's a _lot_ of slippery-slope arguments being made that here that actually surprised me, when we're talking about actually trying to prevent people from spreading information that can actually lead other to harming themselves, rather than seeking treatment.

I agree. That being said, I think getting more definition and transparency around all this on YouTube/Google's part is going to be really important, though I don't expect it, sadly. There's a fair amount of flimflam being pushed on YouTube right now--everything from literally ingesting chlorine dioxide, to other "holistic" cures that _appear_ to be benign.

It’s the same with me and my friends. Trading fruit, visiting each others’ islands to see Flick, etc. Then there’s the whole terraforming aspect that just feels nice and methodical.

I haven’t played Harvest Moon, but I agree with what you’re saying about SV and AC. I’ve spent far more hours in SV, but haven’t picked it back up since I started AC. One of the things I’ve found particularly fun is planning out and starting terraforming of my island in AC.

First of all, this is about “YouTube banning 'medically unsubstantiated' content.” as well as content that “would go against World Health Organization recommendations,” which (if those guidelines are followed) doesn’t mean banning of people or discourse, but rather disinformation. Secondly, the WHO tweeted that, but had actually already acknowledged human-to-human transmission multiple times[1][2] in the days before the tweet, so no, I wouldn’t support banning discussion around a tweet.

"Some people would like freedom to discuss the coronavirus without being oppressed. They can't on YouTube if this policy takes hold." so find another platform. YouTube has no obligation whatsoever to continue to disseminate disinformation, or theories. They've had a hard enough time banning and preventing the spread of chlorine dioxide-based "protocol" information, let alone the flimflam that's being discussed right now.

Truth and fact are two different things.

It's about fact, not truth. There's a difference.

As obligate carnivores they don't only eat meat; they have to eat meat.

Nail clipping is humane. However, just like with human nails, if you clip too close to the quick (the blood vessel), which can happen for myriad reasons (accidentally, it's good to know Corn Starch can be used as a styptic in a pinch, and you can also purchase styptic powder. Ideally, if the blood vessel is cut you should get the wound looked at so it can be assessed and cleaned by a veterinarian.

To clarify even more, it also doesn't address cutaneous delivery of opioids or other analgesics for people who are unable to take either IV or oral applications.

No, you wouldn't be crazy. You'd simply be following medical advice/what's best for your situation. For some chronic pain sufferers opioids are one of the only options (or is something that is used in addition to other methods/things to alleviate pain). For instance, many people with connective tissue disorders use opioids in addition to other physical methods (surgical, splints, etc)[1], and removing something like an opioid can make life untenable, and amounts to torture [2]
