  • Indoctrination to dehumanise the enemy is par for course for any military at war. Though Russia seems to be upping it a bit.

  • That is to be expected with cutting edge research. Studies get retracted all the time. The vetting process is not perfect and never can be. Especially when there are bad actors gaming the system.

    You could attack Lancet and Elsevier in general on other grounds. But this in my opinion is not one of them.

  • They also publish almost all cutting edge medical research. So what's your point?

  • I had the same experience with Arthur C. Clarke.

    He moved to Sri Lanka to dodge all the accusations of pedophilia. It was all hushed up. As was the custom at the time.

  • This so much. The US in general has a problem of having people who are ostensibly above the law.

    The police have qualified immunity. SCOTUS has no real check on their conduct. And now the president is immune from prosecution.

    Internationally the US has no regard for International law. They have refused to be bound by several crucial international treaties.

  • As it is, the EU is only attractive for impoverished peripheral countries.

    We can wait until UK is one.

  • But SCOTUS just made a ruling which states that some of the evidence used to convict him is inadmissible.

    Just because he made those comments while in office. Because somehow lying about paying off porn stars to win a second term is protecting the American people and thus part of his official duties. Go figure.

    US justice system is f*cked.

  • The problem is that they didn't want to pay dreamhost for a certificate. So https doesn't work. You need to use http://www.thelastquestion.net

    Except for some reason Jerboa (the client that I use) obstinately rewrites that to use https.

  • Site not found.

  • Yes!

    As stupid as it sounds people trust them more than the experts. We live in the post truth times anyway.

  • This is a momentous shift. The almighty petro-dollar has been dealt a serious blow.

  • Shhhhh, don't give them ideas!

  • We haven't had them in decades. They can only be found in museums.

  • Yet, before the Republican National Convention. Where they are set to officially choose their presidential candidate.
