Imagine if this meme said "Being rich is easy, if your Jewish enough " with a picture of a guy in a yamuka. How is that not playing into the stereotype? The whole point of the joke is that this is a stereotype of the culture
Huh, I never expected such a blatantly racist meme to get so many upvotes on an overtly far-left platform like lemmy
Edit: updating because my tired ass brain confused left and right

The pancreas is not really stable enough to be implanted in at all. Other organs you’re imagining like liver, stomach, heart, etc. have a solid lining that can be cut open and stitched back together. The pancreas is more like a cluster of loose cells with veins throughout and held together by a very thin, tissue paper lining. If you try to open it and insert cells, you’re not going to be able to put it back together.
That’s why cells are usually put in the liver, which has a large vein going directly to the pancreas. Close proximity and high blood supply. Implanting in the pancreas will likely never be an option unless you can drastically reduce the volume of cells.
Our lab was working on implanting the stem cells on a porous scaffold in the fat pad of the stomach as an alternative
I literally worked in a research lab working on islet cell therapies for diabetes in the US. This has actually been done many times before with cells from cadavers. It has been successful, although most the of the time the person reverts back after a few years
The issues we were trying to solve in the lab were
Finding a good place to transplant where the cells will last: Implanting in the hepatic region (liver), which is the most common place to implant, is toxic to the cells over time hence only lasting 3-5 years. The cells need a really good blood supply and the volume you’re transplanting can’t be easily transplanted in the pancreas or kidney capsules (where many successful studies were performed in mice and rats)
Being able to consistently make a high volume of stem cells that are fully grown into insulin producing cells: Cadaver cells usually require 3-5 donors for 1 person and require the receiver to be on lifelong immunosuppresors due to the immune response. Depending on the kind of stem cells, the patient may still even need immunosuppresors due to the cell type you’re converting from
All this the say - the article says nothing about where the cells where transplanted, where they came from, or whether the person has Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes. Although it is still a feat, it is likely not the first time it has been done, and we’re still a long ways off from a cure
Dr. Death was about gross negligence in medicine and the failure of the medical system to prevent unqualified doctors from making it through the system. There’s no evidence that this study has anything to do with that
This title really overly praises him for 1) not doing much at all and 2) making changes that should have been made months ago
The bad part is that their healthcare system still has to deal with the rising number of cases, but it’s not like there has been an unexpected spike from anything unusual
For those who dont feel like reading the whole article, here’s why:
“Much of the increase in kidney failure is caused by an ageing population. When age is taken into account, the number of people with kidney failure as a proportion of the population has remained fairly stable over the past decade, according to data from the registry.”
I dont agree with their views, but I really dont think it’s affecting their demand as much as you think. Lines are always insanely long - they just move them through very efficiently. By taking orders/payment as soon as you enter the line and knowing which car to give the food to when you get close to the window, the line never stops moving
I feel like Jimmy johns and chick fil a are the only truly fast restaurants anymore. For JJ you do have to go inside, but they often make your sandwich and complete payment in less than a minute, maybe 5 minutes max.
Meanwhile I’ve been to other drive throughs where even with very few people in line, it somehow takes 10/15 mins to get your meal. Plus, it’s often incorrectly made and expensive
The room seems rather bleak at the moment with only gray and black colors and no decoration.
From an organization standpoint consider: getting some hangers for your clothes, hanging a curtain in front of the closet (if you dont want people to see your clothes), getting a bed frame, a bedside table. Have a very basic set of cleaning supplies (windex, paper towels, a swiffer for the floor)
Add some color to the room with a rug and/or throw blanket, and get a lamp if the room feels dark
Add things to the room that will bring you comfort when you walk in - some options are plants (can be fake to avoid watering), photos of family/friends/pets, posters or artwork, books/bookshelf, a television to watch from bed
Some countries banned plastic microbeads in 2017, so a lot of those face washes changed the formula from plastics to environmentally friendly materials. They do still make them though
New fear unlocked
A form of therapy that helps you change behavioral and thought patterns to improve how you feel
I’m still confused by the need for blocking communities. Maybe it’s because I use Sync, but I only subscribe to communities I’m interested in, and I use trending/new community pages to find new ones to subscribe to. My front page is my subscribed communities, so I am never subjected to all the other content I don’t care about
Don’t give doctors a bad name like that. They work their asses off to help people and go many years being overworked and underpaid to do it
It’s the insurance companies that reap the benefits of people’s misfortune
Stereotypes generally come from anecdotal reality, but it doesn’t mean it applies to everyone in the group
