This is nonsense. Epidurals don’t reach your brain. Not how it works. They just numb the spinal nerves so pain signals don’t reach the brain.

Isn’t the US infamous for being one of the only countries where once you hit 18 your parents expect you to fuck off?
And if you don’t, everyone belittles you for living in your parents’ basement?

Science@lemmy.ml•Giant Study May Have Found The Ideal Amount of Coffee to Lower Stress
351·2 months agoHowever, 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…

Hallucinated references are an area the publisher is “actively exploring,” added Chris Graf, research integrity director for Springer Nature. Last April, the publisher announced the launch of a new in-house AI tool to check submissions for irrelevant references.

14·3 months agoI mean, wtf were they doing there? Like get some situational awareness for fucks sake.
Why are they strutting around as if looking for people to beat up in the middle of a large crowd during a snowball fight?
These cops need to be better trained.

Europe@feddit.org•Sinn Féin MEPs to vote against €90bn EU loan for UkraineEnglish
19·4 months agoFunchion 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.
Magnolia green jumper maybe? Or some South American variant.

“It isn’t being a night owl that’s a problem,” Knutson said. “I think being a night owl who’s trying to live in a morning lark’s world is a conflict between one’s internal clock and their social clock.”
Yeah, they should compare wealthy night owls who don’t have to work and get enough sleep and have a healthy lifestyle to morning people. See how that goes.

Climate@slrpnk.net•NASA Releases Global Temperature Data Without Mentioning 'Climate Change'24·4 months agoIt’s crazy how quickly this Trump administration has completely destroyed all trust in respected and established American institutions.
No one is looking up scientific information on American government sites anymore, when before it used to be one of the best places.
Honestly, this has almost become a compulsive thing when reading. Nonstop looking up words.
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.
