Where does that funding come from?

Not necessarily, Iran wasn’t taking the threat from Israel and the US seriously when Khamenei the elder was assassinated, but they certainly are now. I think it depends on how much intel Israel is still getting from inside Iran

They’re not thinking that far ahead

First thing I thought of. I wouldn’t put it past our current leadership to think blocking out the sun is a good idea

What’s not true there?

In 1887, a group of American Civil War veterans from Pennsylvania planning a reunion at Gettysburg proposed the return of Confederate battle flags from three units, including the 28th Virginia battle flag, in hopes of enticing Confederate veterans to attend. Grover Cleveland, then president of the United States, issued an executive order in support of the plan. However, many Union veterans opposed the idea, as did some Southerners. Opposers included then-Governor of Virginia Fitzhugh Lee (a Confederate veteran and the nephew of Robert E. Lee) as well as Jefferson Davis who stated that the flags belonged to the capturing states and that returning them would break “all known military precedents”. Cleveland eventually rescinded his executive order.

We have forgotten our history.

Oh man, I’ve pissed in the shower most days for years and have never once taken piss vapor to the face. What am I doing wrong?

I’d like to know how you jumped from “demonstrators in support of the Iranian government” to “deserves to die.”

Can you explain why you think that?

Again, what other animals are there that reproduce only asexually? Of course there can be advantages to reproducing asexually, however every other multicellular animal that does it also reproduces sexually at times, because those that don’t reproduce sexually have gone extinct

Did you marry an evil sea witch/octopus who stole the voice of the king’s daughter and disguised herself as a human woman in order to prevent the prince from kissing the king’s daughter before sundown?

When competing with an entire ecosystem of sexually reproducing species, it’s an evolutionary dead end.

How many animals can you name that reproduce only asexually? The rate of evolution in an asexually reproducing species will always be significantly slower than a species that reproduces sexually, and over time it will be out-competed.

Yeah I read it, I’m saying that if an animal is only reproducing via cloning forever, it’s an evolutionary dead end, because they will have completely lost the ability to adapt to environmental changes

There’s gotta be a point at which sexual reproduction comes into play, otherwise it’s an evolutionary dead end

This is amazing! Did you build from a kit? I’d love to put one of these up

“If we don’t mow down this pine forest to build a data center, Mississippi is basically over!”

That’s a really big loss…

I’m not a subscriber, but I borrow a family member’s account, and I wish they’d just throw the entire Paramount movie catalog on there. We watched Sunset Boulevard the other day, Paramount has an amazing back catalog

When discussing them, Palmer was quick to emphasise that “yes, it’s only two”, and that “case reports don’t prove anything. They’re not controlled. They come with tremendous amounts of bias.” But, Palmer noted, that can be important for generating hypotheses about what treatments might work.

Sounds like there is little to no actual evidence that this is even a possibly real treatment and requires significant further study. This is straight out of the author’s mouth. Statements like RFK Jr made have real impact, and there may be a bunch of people about to stop their psych meds as a result of this.

Palmer was clear that nobody should stop psychiatric medications without careful supervision.

Too late

While one of the patients in his study worked with her doctor to safely taper off her psychiatric medications, the other decided to stop all of them suddenly on her own. “Let me be clear, that was an unmitigated catastrophe for her. She became severely psychotic. She was hospitalized for over two months,” Palmer said. That patient continued her diet throughout her hospitalization, and had to go back on medication before tapering off safely.

You’re just going around saying “correlation doesn’t equal causation” to everything regardless of context. Feel free to expound.

No, there definitely isn’t “a gene” for schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, just like there isn’t “a gene” for hair or eye color, two other traits that are highly heritable.

Here’s just one source for you on this, and there are many more if you care to take a look:
