I don’t normally reply like this but i’m not wasting time on composition.
I think you are forgetting that correlation does not imply causation. Really? Then I think you didn’t read or understand my previous reply. or is it dangerous, misleading, and unscientific to say things that can’t be proven as if it’s fact? What is dangerous, misleading and unscientific about alerting parents as soon as possible that screen time has been linked to atypical sensory processing, the most well known by a country mile being ADHD and autism? Have other studies shown screen time to be beneficial to young children? Who are you shilling for, Sesame Street? lol I would argue that it’s unethical not to inform parents using terminology that they are familiar with, even if it is not going to be accurate in each case. As someone who has worked and continues to work with several doctors in a medical research environment I was wondering when the appeal to authority would come. Your assurance, as an internet rando, is meaningless. You oughta know that already. “Reading between the lines” in research has led to countless people being injured and killed Except pop-sci magazines aren’t research.
And finally, this crap about Wakefield, Kennedy and troglodyte Rogan is false equivalence and obvious baiting. So we’re done, and I guess we’ll see in a few years if we should’ve been warning people away from screen time for young kids a lot more forcefully.

The point in shitting on HP is to shit on HP. Not sure what other point you’re looking for. Are you concerned that people are going to start feeling sympathetic?

“Brain melting” and “Without parents knowing” are the only two inherently scary things in that headline.

I have a brother multifunction laser printer scanner thing. It is a cheap piece of crap with flaky wireless.
Unlike the HP printers I’ve had or worked with, with the Brother I feel like I at least get what I pay for… but it’s a pretty low bar.
- Comment on Peak technology 8 months ago:
I will happily upvote anything that rags on HP printers, I don’t care how low effort it is. In fact, I would hate to think of someone spending actual effort on anything HP related.
HP printers have been kicking puppies and insulting your mother for well over 20 years. Wait, they haven’t? Well, after a certain point a company has burned so much good will by making marginal printers, less-than marginal drivers and artificially differentiating inks and toners to such a degree it’s hard to see it as anything other than profiteering… pant pant …that nobody cares if it’s unfair or inaccurate.
Don’t buy HP. Think of the puppies. Think of your mother, for God’s sake!

Yep and there are also fairly cheap strictly photo printers (cheap compared to getting film developed, at least)

I mean, if you think that they aren’t talking about ADHD and autism there, after reading the article, well okay then.
The paper comes as close to saying ‘direct link’ as these papers ever do. It’s quite difficult to prove a direct link and there are consequences for using that language inaccurately, when you’re publishing in a respected journal (at least there is supposed to be)
Pop-sci articles are usually going to try to hook readers with their headlines. Not being beholden to the same standards, they are free to read between the lines, as it were. One could say it’s BS but there’s a lot of substance there to refute.
Its an important article that shouldn’t be ignored, and if people want more details, they can get to the JAMA investigation from the link provided at the end.

Interesting. What does the paragraph above the one you posted say?

This study found a link by looking at TV viewing, nevermind phones and tablets.

It makes sense in a way. How we process the world might be a bit messed up with we were exposed to lots of bright shapes and loud sounds doing impossible things before our senses were fully developed.

Europe didn’t buy the crap sold by ‘economist’ witch doctors like Milton Friedman and Alan Greedspan. At least, they didn’t buy it as much.
The US treats capitalism as a religious absolute. The rest of the world regards the US as a fairly extreme example of laissez-faire capitalism.
Lots of True Believers really thought that if you didn’t regulate anything and just let companies become more and more powerful, somehow the world would be a better place for it.
Check out the Chicago School of Economics if you want to know what really has brought us to this point. Hugely influential and hugely misguided, but it made a lot of men very rich and powerful so it was seen as a good thing 🤦

I haven’t been keeping up with the changes to X but I checked out their videos site (xvideos, I presume) and it seems like it’s mostly porn with the occasional Tesla shareholder meeting keynote.
The keynotes seem a bit incongruous and I could do without them. Otherwise, it doesn’t seem like it’s gone too far downhill.
