IMHO Capitalism as it is practiced today is problematic because we removed actions from their consequences and made bottom line the king. This problem of course is exacerbated by never before experienced levels of global interconnectivity.

His name is Luigi Mangione.

Good point, we know they aren’t above that kind of psy-op shit and a fellow wage slave snitching on the shooter sends the right message to other aspiring action takers.

Radical centrism:

I was surprised to find a whole Wikipedia section dedicated to this but to answer your question, from $100 to $488 depending on the type of coin used according to today’s silver prices.

I don’t like the guy’s political postures or his constant guzzling of Western cock but got to give credit where credit is due.

These very same people would have no problem calling women ‘people that birth’.

Bruh. You do know you are talking about the cocaine capital of Europe here with your deluded “but they’re an island nation!” talk.

There’s also NetGuard and rethink that spoof VPN connections to filter traffic. I use the latter to block all outgoing apps except for the ones I allow.

Why keep the child out of eyesight at all in that case? Why stay in a house and not just camp in front of emergency department if one is so afraid of life happening?

Why the pearl clutching over a child in the house? The person even goes as far as arranging possible cover from the in-laws. Even if they didn’t, it is a child and not a ticking time bomb. Obvious idiots getting blind drunk or tripping balls into the next dimension aside, an experienced tripper in a safe environment (ie their home) would be able to handle themselves fine.

I am all for eradicating the mosquito pest but there is no way a study is going to cover all possible impacts of removing them from existence. Anyone claiming to do so is just drunk on hubris.

I like to think that he forgets, keeps trying and then makes a new post about it

That would be sweet but I have never come across such a thing unfortunately!

That’ll teach him to fly illegal flags, hope he gets hard labour otherwise society is doomed.

My friend’s dog was extremely self aware, more than most dogs I would say (not an expert), but would still try and eat its own poop.

I don’t trust LLMs to do tldrs for me and it certainly doesn’t provide a rich nuance or spark discussions like asking a human would do.

(I say that with 7 comments in the thread lol but you get my point I’m sure)

Peer review isn’t an infallible process, it has been shown to be super susceptible to cronyism for example, and even outside of it churns out a vast array of (mostly) useless unreproducible, or sometimes even entirely fraudulent, research. I don’t even have a problem with the former part, research is actually a lot more tinkering and trial based than some set-in-stone endeavour and it certainly wouldn’t hurt the good Ms Sparado to remember that.

I am paraphrasing the post from memory but it came across extremely gatekeepy and condescending with the “but have you conducted double blind trials like I have?” (or sentiments to that effect) as if those are the only valid ways of conducting research. Not even a slight sign of humility in how much researchers and academics have got wrong themselves and maybe to use that as an example in caution when doing your own research.

Right, because professional researchers and academics have never been blinkered by biases or had financial motives to publish certain things or the fact that most published research is unreproducible horseshit. I don’t need a meta-analyses and cross corroborated studies to know something works for me despite all the published reasons that say it shouldn’t (or vice versa). Pathetic attempt at gatekeeping IMO completely forgetting that most research is in fact based on tinkering and trial & error. Professional researchers are not magically immune to human biases and fallacies, case in point thalidomide, trans fats, “heart healthy” seed oils etc etc.

My genuine thanks for taking the time to craft your lovely reply.
