flicker,

This was uncalled for, and a quick look through your comment history indicates that you're either a person who thrives on taking an opposing viewpoint for the sake of being an oppositional pain, or a troll. I'm going to go with the latter.

Dissonant discourse has value but you're intentionally inflammatory so from me, to you, kindly fuck right off. Try and learn something from this. I will engage you no further.

flicker,

Stamets, it's not like you to let the trolls get to you. I noticed yesterday but didn't feel like you'd appreciate that from a near stranger but it's even worse today.

You good, friend?

(Addendum for any reader; I know that culturally, pet names are seen as insulting in other parts of the world, but in my line of work and my part of the country, I had to delete like 10 "sugar," "honey," "darlin" and "love"s. Please keep in mind that it's meant well if you see someone like me slip up in the future.)

flicker,

Take some time for you.

I've lost a lot of people. A lot of friends. And you're right, the internet is full of angry people who just want to be angry, but moreover, it's chaotic and unpredictable. It sounds like you can use some extra grace, some extra protection, and some extra kindness. You would give it to anyone else in your position, so it's the least you can do for you.

We haven't really met, but don't become a statistic. There's not many of us left who made it. Each time we lose one more, that means those of us left have that much more to work for, but what we work for becomes that much more precious.

The world can handle itself for a couple days. Rest and regroup. Everything will still be there when you're ready for it (if you ever are!)

flicker,

Your overall point is very, very important and often overlooked but pure sugar does not take "longer" to turn into sugar in the bloodstream than simple carbohydrate.

You don't need to turn to hyperbole! Your point is already very important!

flicker,

I'm extremely fascinated and this is pertinent to my work so I'm going to thank you for it now (because it'll take me a day or two to have time to really give it a good look.)
