As more details come out, this is clearly 100% political, basically a massive propaganda operation. Can't really speak to the details but this is all for the QAnon crowd. It will get pretty ugly, but at least the conversation will be mostly on the weird politics and are less likely to splash us...

People still talk about the disaster of one of the Mars landers crashing on the surface because one team worked in metric while the other worked in imperial units. What a dumb failure that was. Never happened again, though. Because the aerospace profession learn from their failures. This...

Ah, I see the latest edition of cheap psychological experiment cut-and-paste is out. How odd that the conclusions of every such Chalder experiment are always the same. The exact same. And they play out exactly the same way. As if the process were a formality that has no impact on the...

This reminds me of the time I tried psychotherapy. It was in the first few weeks I had my first serious episode. I didn't think it would be useful but I basically had no other choices, I was shut out of everything else. I was barely coherent, had difficulty reading or forming sentences. So...

Well, that's a special kind of stupid and incompetent. Great quacking, my ducks. I don't know if the point of these cheap experiments is to make us feel better for wasting our lives by having people who are healthy and educated make their active lives even more meaningless than ours. Because it...

Although not perfect, the CDC guide is at least passable. Otherwise maybe a link that was passing around from something like NIH rare diseases or something like that? It was alright. There are better resources but they aren't as authoritative. It's a serious problem that we still have to work...

Let us all socially distance from quackery. Forever. (One can hope)

Old piss, is more like it.

There's really something to the 17-20M estimate of ME sufferers and how even in the worst case scenario COVID would only marginally add to the count yet framing it as something remarkable. There are already so many of us, unless the pandemic goes way out of control and infects hundreds of...

Good article. It's really a sign that things are changing that it's straight and to the point, no fluff about controversy of any of that crap. It treats it as a serious issue that deserves attention and runs with it. CBC is the Canadian equivalent of the BBC, by the way. Radio-Canada is the...

Just started the article but dammit the link they used is to the Mayo clinic, who are absolutely awful over this. Article is otherwise good, though lean on details, but this is a huge missed opportunity. (Incognito/private mode bypasses the paywall but don't do that it would be bad I'm only...

I voted previously and don't have the option to vote again so doesn't appear to be.

Great thorough analysis. This incompetent experiment is an embarrassment to both the letter and spirit of science. This is interesting: Always remain in a safe space, never put themselves in a situation where difficult questions can be asked by people who haven't bought in on the belief...

I think I have just stumbled upon the most insanely delusional piece of pseudoscientific psychobabble nonsense. This is a cancer on science. Absolute lunacy. I am frankly very divided on whether this is satirical, you could not satirize the concept of psychosomatics any dumber than this. Mind...

Another one. There are dozens of the exact same. Let's do it some more! Very weak experimental design, not a proper thing other than just a psychological experiment, but also completely inaplicable: Great way to break up already strained relationships, though! Good old insult to injury, this...

Like clockwork. She made a list of resources, could be interesting to check if more are added up over time: https://linktr.ee/Katep.

:facepalm:

Ah. Yes. Good old optional requirements. Those are common nowadays. It's required. But don't bother with it. Nobody cares anyway, right?

Uhhhh. Seriously? Of course. I mean, absolutely of course.
