#e rants

Like, none of the members are south Korean, but their manager *is* so wouldnt you expect them doing some stuff in S.K and with two N.K members, wouldnt you expect shows to be exicted to get 1verse on there? For how unique they are?

I have no proof of this but i do wonder if singing beetle is purposely keeping the boys off of shows and many promotion opportunities.

And before someone says "oh these shows arent open to small companies!!!" THESE ARE THE MAIN WAY GROUPS GET KNOWN, IVE SEEM MANY SMALL GROUPS PROMO ON THEM.

Thats all,

So let me start from the ending. The reason I don't support any proposed curing of autism is that...

1) I feel it opens the path for literally brainwashing the masses on a genetic level. If they can find a means to make an autistic person neurotypical, what else about a person's brain can they change. Make them more docile, susceptible to propaganda and advertising, more loyal to whatever forces are in control? It's a very slippery slope that I know if given a chance, a lot of powerful people would dive right in.

2) Because there's no telling how this would affect the consciousness. For all that we know, it could be essentially killing them and replacing them with someone that looks and sounds like them and has all the memories, but is different on a fundamental level with different likes and hates.

I've seen some autistic people being supportive of the concept but I feel a good chunk of them have been lead astray to believe that their autism is a separate part of themselves instead of an active part of their being. If you were to try and filter out what's autistic from what's nonautistic in me, you would get every superficial aspect of myself on the nonautistic side, but all the important E-ness of me aspects would be on the autistic side.

On the fundamental level, an autistic person has no hidden neurotypical self hidden away in a secret brain pocket and I'm sorry that the world has tricked and or made you feel that it would be better if you were neurotypical.

Every hard part of my life has been caused by having to live in a neurotypical world designed specifically to cater to their needs and wants. I'm willing to bet that most people on the autistic spectrum if they thought about it could recognize the parts where they wished they were neurotypical directly correspond to instances where they had to deal with being in a neurotypical world. Got yelled at for not understanding a person's vaguely worded instructions, or because your tone is flat, or you raise your voice when you're excited, or because you don't get what someone wants and how dare you ask them.

I'm not against technology to assist people on the spectrum. Machines to aid in communication, creating connections, helping with stimulation, and all that good stuff. That's great stuff. I'm saying I'm against technology to "CURE" autism on the grounds of hypothetical ethics regarding changing a person's brain wiring and all the potential stuff powerful people could do with it if given a chance.

You mean caring for patients?

Patient care is about listening to the patient. You think that because you ‘work’ harder you deserve more but you don’t. MC genuinely cares for her patients and others in the hospital sure she did a few questionable things, but for the good of the patient.

Willow couldn’t afford the medicine she needed to treat her. She would have rather walked out of the hospital knowing she’d eventually die instead of being saddled with the cost of her life saving medicine. MC cares enough to find any way to help her patient, she found the loophole, but Harper Emery, the chief, signed the order.

Mrs Martinez had spent 9 years in the hospital, she had given up her dream of traveling the world because of a rare condition. It was so rare big pharma would rather bury treatments and studies that could cure the disease than charge an exorbitant amount for treatments for the rest of the patients life. Was Mrs Martinez alive? Well that depends, technically she was, but she wasn’t living. She saw the same space for years. She no longer saw her family because they lived too far and it cost too much to travel to her. Is that truly living? It sounds more like isolation to me. Is being alive worth it if you don’t get to experience life? What MC and the others did may have been illegal but they did it for a good cause. They had the patients permission. She knew she could die from the treatment but she would have rather died than live for another 9 years in the hospital.
