Pain is entirely subjective, but we are pretty sure it exists, and there is a lot of science around pain management.

You left out a pretty important force: political forces lying about the trustworthiness of journalism in a blatant effort to gain political power. Traditional journalism didn't have any ready defenses against that.

Economics is a particularly slippery subject, since double blind experiments are practically impossible. No doubt some of the things Marx wrote correctly describe reality, even if some of the social experiments built on his work were massiv

I don't have a dog in this fight, but the real rule appears to be "that's the way I learned it in school".

On the other hand, humans have done a pretty good job of removing most of the other predators in the environment. Domestic cats must be replacing some of the natural predation that is no longer occurring.

So essentially a return to the failed drug policies of the last 50 years.

Researchers are aware of it, but the press and the general public don't appear to be. Studies showing some association or another are regularly reported, and the public eats it up.

Something in the environment changed for sure. There are many theories. Some of them include the rise of ultra-palatable foods, the rise of plasticisers in the environment fucking with our hormones, the greater exposure to lithium, the rise

You don't believe it's possible? Obviously it's possible! Look around, we have what are essentially miracle drugs available, and you are still pushing ideas that have mostly failed for the last 50 years!

We shouldn't assume that because we are a great ape that we eat the same as other great apes. Humans spent two million years away from the jungle evolving in the savanna, with very different food sources. Our guts changed quite a bit i

Can't read the article, but I hate the title framing. Like, what do you mean by woke? If I'm against misogyny, racism, homophobia, etc, is that woke? Or does it require something special I don't know about? I know it wasn&#x2

Another version of keto. Protein and fat are pretty satiating. I will say any 3 day diet weight loss is going to be water weight, though

The tragedy of the commons, on a planetary scale.

I don't believe they are talking about malthusianism. That's a straw man. The arguement is that the sheer number of people is causing damage to the natural environment, not that we can't grow enough food to feed people.

We are supposed to have new streamlined rules by November of this year per executive order 14300. I guess we'll see if that actually improves the process, or if nuclear is still unable to compete with wind and solar.

The largest emitters are electricity generation and personal transport. So... Heads of power companies and everybody that drives a car?

I don't know what the philosophical answer is, but the real answer is that we don't, the supreme Court does.

Your quote is what the CFTC is claiming, not what NY is actually asking for. Your mistake is trusting that a federal agency will tell the truth when the president or his family has a financial interest. Hint: they will not.

I've been buying local produce, when I can. I signed up for a CSA share in the spring and get an assortment of fresh veggies every week. The same place does have a local farm stand, so you don't have to sign up for the whole summe

Kagi search allows you to block whole domains, which is pretty great. Isn't there a browser plugin to do that for Google too?

Nah. I never see Facebook ads. Easy peasy.

Mine isn't that small, nearly half a million people in my metro area. They plan to close 8 of the 44 elementary schools. I do hear what others are experiencing in actual small towns though.

I suspect the article is bullshit, but what hardware are you thinking of?

In my town they are talking about closing 8 primary schools next year because enrollment is down. Where this really hits is small town America. A lot of folks in small towns are starting to see their kids bussed someplace else because there

Fron what I can tell, immigration levels right now are about the same as they were in the late 19th century, when a lot of our great grandparents first came to the US. At that time, the scare was about the Chinese, as opposed to brown peopl

Perhaps you aren't aware, but only about a third of homeless people are drug addicts, from the surveys I've seen.

All it takes to be homeless is not being able to afford housing, drugs or mental illness are not required. You really think all it takes is "choosing" and housing will appear for you?
