There's no scandal. Some people who are leading proponents of MOND theory recently published a new paper using what might be the best scenario we currently have to detect MOND (wide binary stars), and their more precise calculations...are not consistent with MOND. They published evidence against the very theory they were betting on.
But that's literally true and fully acknowledged by the physics and astronomy fields. It's why those things received the names "dark." Because currently we can't see what's causing those effects. And there are currently physicists and astronomers who spend their time researching these effects in hopes of publishing that exact "Hey! I figured out what it is" paper. Then we'll praise that person, add their name to the pantheon and fail to acknowledge the hoards of other people who contributed to the foundational research that allowed them to finally figure it out.
Even Crohn's has different subtypes that are suspected to explain why different Crohn's patients respond differently to the same treatments. Much like the comment about lupus. Crohn's also is much more complicated than the general public is aware.
For example, it is well established that there is a subset of people with Crohn's disease who go into remission while taking an antidepressant called bupropion and we have no idea why. No one believes this is because these people's Crohn's was caused by a psychological problem, but rather that the bupropion appears to have effects on the immune system that aren't well understood. And this appears to only work in certain people. Do those people have a different "kind" of Crohn's? Different underlying genetic response to bupropion? Those questions aren't as easy to answer as you might think.
Not true really. Wayfair is just a drop shipping company, in a similar vein as Amazon. Except with actual customer service. You can search specifically for solid wood furniture, so you don't end up with cheap MDF toy furniture, their reviews are accurate and not gamed, and their search has robust filtering so you can drill down and find exactly what you want. I buy a lot of shit from Wayfair that is definitely better quality than Ikea.
That doesn't mean their CEO isn't a labor abusing bag of dicks. I still think they should unionize.
In real life, a restaurant can and will kick you out and ban you from the premises for wearing a swastika and saying you think minorities don't deserve to live.
Ergo, being kicked off a company's privately owned server for hate speech is EXACTLY the same amount of freedom they would have in real life.
Yeah isn't this the part of the movie where he gets recruited from jail by James Bond or something? That's literally a plot point in at least one Mission Impossible movie, isn't it? Lol
Lmao NO. Disabled people work. We have this whole law about it and everything in the United States where employers have to provide reasonable accommodations and allow you time off work without compromising your job status.
I'm disabled. I work full time. I could not fulfill these exercise requirements, but I can hold down a job. That is not a rare category of human being.
We should have universal healthcare, not this nonsense from a private employer.
Yes, it was too short! Important plot moments had no room to breathe. It got confusing a couple of times, and the really good emotional moments went by too fast.
That's the kind of decision making that just mystifies me. I have no idea how the studio can screen that movie and think pushing it out with such a short runtime was a successful strategy.
I agree with others that I don't think superhero fatigue is real. Through this whole bad quality slog, I've still watched every MCU movie...once.
I've kept hoping for them to stop and reassess the production problems the pandemic caused, and I was shocked they just kept pushing out all those half-assed projects even though they clearly knew the problems.
I really had high hopes for The Marvels. It had the look, it had all the pieces in place to finally be the return to greatness, and it just wasn't.
So I really hope this break is the full reassessment and readjustment of how they want to handle diversifying creative styles with new directors and things like The Eternals while still maintaining the level of story and character engagement we got through the Infinity Saga.
I still completely believe they have it in them to do something else great. They just need to stop and make an actual plan before steamrolling ahead. It's not all just gonna take care of itself and I hope they know that now.
I'm a nurse in a hospital. We absolutely do NOT consider uninsured people seeking healthcare to be theft.
Would we prefer that people have Medicaid and seek primary care services elsewhere? Of course. So one of the things we do when people come in is get them signed up. Should that be our responsibility? Of course not. But here we are.
You're not changing what racist uncle is doing or thinking no matter what you do. I deal with racist uncle too, you know. I'm busy radicalizing the kiddos ¯(ツ)_/¯
I went to great lengths to get my family group chat migrated from FB Messenger over to WhatsApp, and then Meta bought WhatsApp. I'm doomed. I'll never get these Americans to transition to something like Signal
Also, why isn't there a slide cover to physically cover the camera, and why can't I turn off the mic and camera separately? So I just use one of those black foam stickers to cover the camera.
Says "I'm not sure what anyone could have done better" while explicitly stating several things that probably would have been done better by someone else 🤦
I have neighbors who got a one story tall inflatable dragon for Halloween last year and just left it up until Christmas. It was so popular that this year they have an entire yard full of Christmas dragons. I love it.
I might have had an entire backyard dance choreographed to this song when I was a kid. Maybe. I'm not telling.
