Oh God, I was imagining one of his weird motions that sort of looks like a hand job but isn’t supposed to, but yeah this is super deliberate.

GTFO with that “politics” bullshit. It stopped being a purely political difference when Trump made it about racism, sexism, and all other possible forms of bigotry. It stopped being about purely bigotry when he tried to stage a coup.

Above and beyond, you don’t know their life. Maybe they needed a life-saving abortion and their father gleefully cackled when that right was effectively removed in many states. Maybe they’re black and their father bragged about the shootings of black folks, they’re latin and he chortled over the deportation rhetoric, or they’re Muslim and he rubbed the travel bans in their face. Maybe they have/had long COVID and their father gave it to them because “it’s a hoax.” There are so many reasons for cutting MAGA idiots out of your life and Trump’s political policy is the least of them

Sure, there will be examples of problems in any field that has hundreds of thousands to millions of humans working in it. That doesn’t mean there’s a broad crisis, and it doesn’t mean that most research is faked or fallible. In your 2004 example, all of the data wasn’t faked, some images for publication were doctored. There’s been potential links between alzheimer’s and aBeta amyloids since at least 1991 (1), long before this paper that posited a specific aB variant as a causal target. Additionally, other Alzheimer’s causes and treatments are also under investigation, including gut microbiome studies since at leasg 2017 (2). Finally, drugs targeting aB proteins to remove brain plaques work in preclinical trials, indicating that the 2004 paper was at least on the right track even if they cheated to get their paper published. This showcases science working well: bad-faith actors behaved unethically, but the core parts of their work were replicated and found to be effective, so some groups followed that to clinical trials which are still ongoing, and others followed other leads for a more holistic understanding of the disease.

Also, I’d very much argue that human neurological diseases are both bleeding edge and niche, which inherently means that recognizing problems in studies will take more time than something that is cheaper or faster to test and validate, but problems will eventually be recognized as this one was.

2. Cattaneo, A. et al. Association of brain amyloidosis with pro-inflammatory gut bacterial taxa and peripheral inflammation markers in cognitively impaired elderly. Neurobiol. Aging 49, 60–68 (2017).

I wouldn’t call it a broad crisis, and it isn’t universal. More theoretical sciences or social sciences are more prone to it because the experiments are more expensive and you can’t really control the environment the way you can with e.g. mice or specific chemicals. But most biology, chemistry, etc that isn’t bleeding edge or incredibly niche will be validated dozens to hundreds of times as people build on the work and true retractions are rare

A pride flag pin is not political swag but also correlates very strongly to voting blue, and far-right nutjobs could run with that

Also, a lot of shops, especially used ones, want you to be a repeat and happy customer so will work with you on what you want. Go in and ask for something easy to work on and they’ll help with that

I think she’s using it less as therapy and more as a way to win arguments is the problem

I mean there’s been a lot to help corporations and the rich I don’t agree with but the current administration has also given tons of resources to the IRS to claw back evaded taxes from the wealthy, made moves to bust monopolies and price-fixing practices, and while they aren’t directly responsible there has been a historic expansion of unions not seen in my lifetime

My aunt is a big gardener in 7a (piedmont NC) and has overwintered jalapenos a few times and declared it not worth it for her, apparently the yields aren’t much/any bigger than new seedlings and it’s a nontrivial amount of work and space to keep them overwintered. If you try again and have different results I’d love to hear about it!

*all new cars

Additionally, the raised and blunt hood height makes a full-body impact with no force dissipation much more likely, particularly for shorter people, where a more traditional hood shape allows a struck pedestrian to roll over the top and avert some of the force of the strike

As if the Kamala/Waltz ticket isn’t an extension of the current administration, why would they wait?

On Linux at least low enough power chargers will get rejected and won’t do anything. Idk what the cutoff is but USB a phone chargers won’t work.

Look, I’m with you most of the way in theory, but a lot of rural areas don’t have plumbing and drinking water from public utilities, they have their own septic and water wells. I know it’s pedantic but a lot of parts of the world are so rural that it probably doesn’t make sense to have fully public transport, like it doesn’t make sense to have centralized water. The scope needs to be great systems within towns and cities and lots of park and ride hubs around the perimeter

Any idea what the huge season 6 single episode dip was? The musical?

Yeah, if she was a mother of 1 or 2 maybe, but feeding 10+ people it makes tons of sense!

This specific thread is responding to this comment, not the original article:

They should even go further and require to move other passengers if neccessary, so that the families can sit together always, no matter what.

Which is maybe why there’s a big disconnect between you and all the comments you’re replying to

As long as it can’t be mistaken for the actual person it moves the stigma from them doing weird things to the artist doing weird things

Beats me… Cycling pull-off so faster vehicles can pass?

I used reddit on a mobile browser. At some point they completely blocked that and made it app-only on mobile, and I started looking for an exit. When the API bullshit happened shortly after I found one and took it
