  • Guess they refused to add NSA backdoors

  • Pretty much.

    But saying anything "definitely" in medicine is difficult, especially when it comes to the brain. (Which is why medicine is full of "I don't want to get sued speak")

  • "The causative association . . . between Tylenol given in pregnancy and the perinatal periods is not sufficient to say it definitely causes autism. But it is very suggestive," Kennedy told reporters, citing animal, blood and observational studies.

    Was what he actually said, the headline is click bait.

  • They didn't really have the biggest support base, the "first past the post" system only gives that impression. In reality they got 33% of the vote, the lowest vote share of any majority party in British history, they lost the previous election with 32% of the vote.

    What happened is the conservative party had it's vote split in most constituencies by the new right wing "reform" party. This allowed them to gain 200 seats despite only increasing their vote share by 1%.

  • The purpose of the military is to fight enemies of the state. If you send the military to fight your own citizens you are declaring them an enemy of the state, effectively declaring civil war.

  • By convincing a jury of normal Americans they're right.

  • I think the saying “money doesn’t bring happiness” is one of those unlearnable lessons - something you’ll never truly believe until you experience it firsthand.

    "All I ask is the chance to prove that money can't make me happy." - Spike Milligan

  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrying_capacity

    recent estimates of Earth's carrying capacity run from two to four billion people, depending on how optimistic researchers are about the prospects for international cooperation to solve problems requiring collective action.

  • Plausible deniability? Nobody will be able to prove any video of you is real.

  • Occasionally, I stopped engaging here much after getting banned from a community for calling an obvious sockpuppet an obvious sockpuppet

  • You're correct, but I doubt anyone here will listen.

  • People think the blood brain barrier is a lot more absolute than it really is.

  • Thanks for being the first person to actually explain that rather than just downvoting.

  • They support liberalism, not leftism.

    They like making a big deal out of their tokenistic support of LGBT/BIPOC/etc, to distract from them trampling over workers rights.

  • It's basic SEO slop logic applied to video.

    All the popular topics are already crowded, so you shotgun very specific search terms in the hope of capturing the majority of people searching for that term because nobody else has anything on it.

    For instance, if you have a web shop selling fish equipment, "how to keep fish" is probably extremely crowded, so you would target a bunch of specific search terms like "how to teach crabs to read classical Latin"

  • That was literally the first time I've heard of him.

  • The guy who electrocuted his dog?

  • Technically herbal "tea" should be called a tisane (while herbs steeped in alcohol are a tincture)
