  • However, the study stops short of proving cause and effect. The participants were only asked about their coffee drinking habits once, at the start of the study period, and this wasn’t monitored over time.

    And they were followed for a median of 13 years.

    This is a terrible fucking study. 13 years is a huge amount of time and people’s habits change constantly.

    Someone could have easily started out drinking 5 cups a day and in 13 years be drinking no coffee at all.

    Makes all their data invalid as far as I’m concerned. They could have at least made 1 single follow-up survey at the end to check if their drinking habits had changed. Jeez…








  • Funchion said Sinn Féin continues to support the provision of humanitarian aid to Ukraine but the proposed €90 billion EU loan was “primarily for military expenditure”. This, she said, “undermines Ireland’s neutrality”.

    Cowen described Sinn Féin’s neutrality argument as “flawed and cynical”, saying: “Supporting Ukraine is about upholding the right of a sovereign country to protect its civilians … while drawing a clear moral line between defence and aggression. Neutrality was never meant to mean moral indifference.”

    Doherty hit back, saying: “Ireland’s neutrality is not about moral indifference, nor does it prevent us from standing firmly against aggression or supporting victims of war. What it does mean is that Ireland does not participate in military alliances or in the financing of war.”

    Yeah, Sinn Féin is totally wrong here. How are you “standing firmly” against aggression by standing by and doing nothing?

    It’s like seeing a bully beating on a weak victim and instead of handing the victim a bat to defend themselves you just wait until the victim is beaten then treat their wounds.

    Patrick Bateman was the satirization of a metrosexual if anything.

    He was not masculine at all in the rugged manly sense of the term.

    Compare Rambo to Bateman. Rambo is the stereotypical manly man, who burns his own wound with a hot knife or gunpowder.

    Patrick Bateman would scream like a little girl and freak out over his body being ruined and scarred.
