I don't like who funded this, therefore the conclusion is suspect.

That's a genetic fallacy.

Scientific claims should be evaluated by evidence rather than by identifying a villain behind the funding.

Suppose you follow the money and discover that the research was funded by an organization you consider trustworthy. Does that make the science good? If not, then following the money isn't actually what determines whether the science is good, is it?

Me? Defeatist. And you meant that unironically didn't you... 😂

    Constructive criticism: you could really work on your brush game. Having good brush sets and knowing how to use them is a total game changer.

    Keep practicing!

    We can't stop using them yet (modern medicine needs them). But we could virtually eliminate burning them in short order. Plummeting emissions to sustainable levels within 10-20 years.

    You're going to use a VPN with your bank?

    Any good bank is going to geoblock that shit. Because they're going to think that somebody's trying to access your account that shouldn't...

    A study tracking more than 340,000 adults for over a decade found that heavy drinking increased the risk of death regardless of beverage type. At lower levels, however, the picture became more surprising: beer, cider, and spirits were linked to higher mortality, while wine was associated with lower risk. Moderate wine drinkers had a 21% lower risk of cardiovascular death compared with people who rarely or never drank.

    Full-fat dairy may be healthier than conventional advice has suggested. In a 12-week study, adults who ate three servings a day showed no meaningful increases in weight, body fat, cholesterol, or insulin resistance. They also experienced improved blood pressure and consumed more calcium, protein, and vitamin D. The findings suggest dairy’s complex structure may matter more than its saturated fat content alone.

     

    So basically classic Reddit. Let the votes matter. Let people decide a down vote threshold (hide posts for me below x number.)

    And let all of us who want to see the show put that threshold to negative Infinity and let's have some gosh dang fun!?

    I'm kind of thinking it's only a matter of time until someone incorporates the mod log and just reintegrates those messages into a continuous comment hierarchy. Kind of like how pie fed incorporates multiple instances into a single comment tree.

    Why the extra steps? Comments are never really deleted you can go look them up. Seems pedantically silly.

     

    I've been getting over a dozen rando calls a day. Basically have had to put my phone on permanent DnD and then allow my contacts to bypass. No more!

    Unfortunately it doesn't fully block SMS. It blocks the notifications, but they still appear in your SMS app needing to be manually deleted.
