Congrats!

Good point. It would have to be pre-natal nutrition or something then. If autism is actually increasing, which I'm not convinced it is.

Usually anything that's bad for the heart is also bad for the brain

Probably more calories+ less exercise are causing it, since we also see a lot more childhood obedity and we know lower calories and lots of exerise can delay puberty.

I could see an unhealthy dirt and lack of exercise affecting brain development and health at the same time

If I was making a hypothesis here it might be like "too much ultra-proccessed junk food leads to too many calories and more general inflamation and also vitiman deficiences and that's bad for brain development in complicated ways"

"Changes in environment/ diet/ exercise cause both early pubery and a range of other issues" seems plausible tbh

Not sure how to tie autism in, maybe something something brain development something something?

It is kind of remarkable the way that the first response to any new technology is for everyone to suddenly develop really, really stupid opinions about it basically instantly before actually learning anything about it

The speed of it is kind of impressive

I assumed this was everyone, with the algorithm here posts just don't go viral and almost nothing gets much engagement

Even made a joke about it in the other place lol

I still enjoy the show. The characters kind of feel right but the plot has gone in a totally different direction from the books already. Maybe the show writers have a well planned out plot written, I can't tell

The first season was good, but the second season diverged so much from the books I'm honestly not sure where they're going, or if they know where they're going

The core ideology of the French Revolution was democracy, an end to noble privilege, separation of church and stage, egalitarianism, equality under the law, and so on. Those are all fundamental liberal ideas.

I think it just implies that English majors don't get laid

Your IKEA product name is your name spelled backwards with an umlaut

Mine is 2nairasöy, a fancy tofu press that presses it and then cuts it into perfect cubes for you

On the other had I can still get hundreds of likes with lib posts over there and piss of dozens of right wingers so it's still got more apparent reach

I've seen a lot of posts on Twitter get mobbed by the absolutle dumbest right wingers in the past few weeks, including some of mine

They're just crawling out from the rocks over there

There's lots of places you can just post an audio clip to

Yeah, trying to let people make their own choices without external pressure either economic or social is the ideal

Not sure if that's really possible though, in either direction

We have the technology to keep people alive and suffering long past their bodies would naturally have failed; we also I think have a responsibility to not force people into taking that painful and usually futile path if they don't want to.

I think the the failure mode of "not allowing people to end their suffering even if it's obvious there's no point in continuing" is much more common and causes vastly more suffering than the opposite failure mode, even in Canada.

In any system you're going to be able to find examples of cases where things don't go like we would like, and that's always tragic.

I do think the problems with MAID are very overstated. The majority of people in Canada who get it are dying cancer. Most of the rest have other terminal illnesses or incurable neurological degenerative diseases. The cases people talk about are really very rare

Hi, yes, I'm looking for that food item that makes me feel like I'm getting something different and exotic but is also basically they exact same thing I always eat just packaged slightly differently

It's a cute look as it is imo

The good thing about having -infinite money is that if I ever default on my debts the global economy collapses so they have to keep giving me money and stuff to keep me solvent

As is traditional

Good news:

Best number I can find is 7.9% of drugs go from conception to new drug registration, and a lot of those drop out before they get to stage 3 trials

pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC....

For possible drugs maybe, but not for drugs that make it to large clinical trials, I think? I don't think you can convince me that there are 1,000,000 trials of 4000 people each to find a single drug, there aren't that many people on Earth

Eh, even a 5% chance it helps might be mathmatically worth it when the risk of serious side effects is low and its cheap, right

The irrational part comes later when people stick to that even though a ton of evidence shows it doesn't work and we have better options anyway

I wonder what would have happened in big pharma had discovered Ivermectin worked and started pushing it. Would RFK types have opposed it the?
