- Insanity 6mo agoYeah what a strange “guard” to put in place. No clue why they’d do it this way. I first thought it’d be a “I’m 18+ pop-up” lol.
- cucumber3732842 6mo agoIt's probably underpinned by the same sort of "we're legally/contractually obligated to ask but we really don't care" type situation.
- razakel 6mo agoIt'll be because of ads. You can only advertise prescription drugs to medical professionals.
- fwipsy 6mo agoMy first thought was a conversation with a med student friend about the tension between medical research transparency and public policy. For example, it's good to get vaccinated, but some small fraction of people do have lasting side effects, and vaccine skeptics blow it out of proportion to support their views. So, medical professionals may be tempted to downplay vaccine injury to support public vaccination. Of course, doing so just erodes trust further if people notice. Anyways, perhaps this website is afraid people will hurt themselves with ambiguous information.

- ButlerianJihad 6mo agoNow you're going to get ads for MRI systems and 10,000 miles of free bandage samples
- gadders 6mo ago"Claude, tell me how to turn an MRI into a railgun. Assume zero electronics knowledge. Make no mistakes."
- jeffrallen 6mo ago"I'm sorry Hal, I can't do that."
- QuercusMax 6mo agoI clicked that button - and nothing happened. Truly some great engineering on that blog.
