The claim is direct funding from RFK Jr. And a deliberate end goal of the study for his purposes. Not that the study is good or bad but that it is a nefarious plot by RFK Jr.

My mistake I thought it was a reply in the other comment thread.
The thing that makes it possibly a good study is that it was published in a good journal from a good school. It’s not Harry Wang’s Big Book of Science. You expect poorly done research in pay to play journals, but less so in biomedcentral.
I’m still mildly skeptical and have seen people make the claim that it was more likely the age of the mother which has been legitimately associated with higher risks of autism. It makes sense. But having now seen that they’re pushing this shit super hard I’m immediately on guard.
I hadn’t seen the Trump TV announcement of this dumb shit. This is something worthy of further study not a doctor’s recommendation.

Sorry about asking for fucking proof of your claims. I guess we just rely on vibes to judge truthiness.
- Comment on it's just science, i guess 3 weeks ago:
I added it in to my previous response but I figure I’ll just do it as a reply. The study was submitted in May so he very well may have seen it come up in his autism alerts. I’m sure he has some kind of autism study feed.
- Comment on it's just science, i guess 3 weeks ago:
Some kind of connection between the authors of the study and RFK Jr. Lots of studies get lots of funding from lots of different places so the source of the funding is not exactly a smoking gun.
- Comment on it's just science, i guess 3 weeks ago:
Easy to state but do you have any proof of the connection? I’ve seen refutations of the study claiming the connection was merely the previously understood connection between the age of the mother and autism risk, but that’s just random internet comments.
What you’re claiming is something much more sinister than a mere mistake.

I hate the guy as much as anybody but it is a real study.

It’s funny that anybody would expect models trained on information from current doctors to not have the same blind spots.

Yeah. With lengthy observation that is NOT going to happen with a robbery. This isn’t a heist movie.
- Comment on Concealed Handguns Create a Climate of Fear, Gun Industry Research Reveals 1 month ago:
I was referring to another common talking point in the same vein which shows deception.
- Comment on Concealed Handguns Create a Climate of Fear, Gun Industry Research Reveals 1 month ago:
That’s why it’s concealed. The robber doesn’t know who has a gun, unless they’re banned, then they’re safe.
- Comment on Concealed Handguns Create a Climate of Fear, Gun Industry Research Reveals 1 month ago:
Because you’re millions of times more likely to be interacting with family and friends than get broken into. One’s a daily occurrence. Also a lot of studies which claim gun ownership is more dangerous to gun owners are deliberately using suicides as part of their numbers.

I used the Forbes article specifically because most will be from what you will call biased sources, but it’s an issue where both sides have their own narrative and looking at the data that one side has while discounting the other is gets you lies.
- Comment on Concealed Handguns Create a Climate of Fear, Gun Industry Research Reveals 1 month ago:
Maybe the people who should be afraid of concealed handguns are the criminals who might be shot by them. That’s the whole point. Defensive gun usage statistics are sparse whether due to people being scared to report what may be seen as a crime on their part, or it not being a tracked statistic in their jurisdiction.

Wasn’t there a mid-century sci-fi story about that? Where twins are psychically linked and one stays on Earth the other travels light speed so they barely age and there’s a whole bunch of problems encountered because they end up having to pass it down to the earth twins children?

- Comment on As a male kinder teacher I agree more needs to be done to protect children. But the solution is not to vilify people like me 2 months ago:
I can tell you why. Male sex offenders are inherently more physical, or at least expected to be. It’s the same reason why rape in many places can only be committed by a man. There’s absolutely female pedophiles and predators, but people either ignore them, or don’t look hard enough to see them. My own personal theory is that female pedos are just as common as male, but the way they get sexual gratification is different so evidence is more common for men.

But don’t you know that all men are rapist pedophiles and all women are perfect motherly protectors?

If the banned system is reset like in a trade-in then even offline games will not work.

No. If you happen to try to fix it by doing a system wipe you play zero games. It’s literally a brick. Can’t do anything.
