Sorry, are you calling California's anti-revenge porn laws unconstitutional censorship?

Really the only use case for crypto is breaking/avoiding the law in some way.

Well twitter is in more debt than ever, so it might be even more beholden to advertisers now. And as for the technology, they just fired most of their engineers...

Because biology is far more complicated than the binary presence of an X or Y chromosome. The easiest way to explain this is that being intersex also exists in biology: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersex_(biology)

>People in it for easy money have probably been flushed out of the market by now, the high-hype gains are long gone. Need no fear, the users of r/cryptocurrency are still somehow filling that niche.

It might reduce prices, but I wouldn't trust pharma companies to put safety over profit. We've seen time and time again that pharma companies will do the bare minimum to prove safety, which has lead to a large amount of harm (see

Probably both, they've got to make back the cost of developing and testing the therapy, but there's probably a profit markup on top of that.

Technique videos are actually far more useful than a book, you can actually see the exercise being performed and copy that action.

Flipped learning models suck unless they're done perfectly. And 90% of the time they won't be done perfectly. In my experience (as a student), what actually ends up happening is that students don't do the lectures, which lead

Two points: the booster wasn't barely tested, it was excessively tested. I don't think you realise how (comparitively) little testing goes into normal drug testing. Secondly, people need boosters because immunity wanes to both the

Maybe you could run all your communications through a translator twice (e.g. English -> French, French -> English), and fix any typos? It would hopefully keep the sentiment while changing the words.

So there's a shortage of human organs in general (especially heart and lungs), which means we need to get them from somewhere. Using complex routes to secure organ donations isn't a great option, because the viability of organs de

Then why hasn't the same thing happened to ketamine for the treatment of depression? Ketamine is widely available and cheap, but the FDA approved esketamine (the S enantiomer of ketamine) and gave the pharma companies a patent for the

If ivermectin actually worked, pharma companies would just make a new version with a slightly different structure and patent/sell that formula instead.

What? It's an adaptive trial design, not a criminal act. The vaccine was effective/safe enough that it would cause more harm to leave them unvaccinated. If anything it means that there's more points of safety data by doing it

We also have no good scientific evidence on whether parachutes are effective. You can't knowingly run an experiment that could cause harm to the participants.

But the vaccine is free and safe. Unless you're allergic to the vaccine, or immunocompromised, there's no good reason not to get the vaccine. Even if you've had covid already, it's not going to do any harm.

I'm not sure of you're aware, but there's actually drug treatments for TD now, such as Valbenazine. From what I can tell, they have pretty good efficacy/safety [1]. [1] https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc&#x
