No one is good at everything. I reckon the people sucked into MAGA were the people with no skill in bullshit detection.

Credulous people.

That’s a different axis to any other category of smart, though so many are also stupid

It sounds like a tax dodge. New LLC in charge until just before the end of the tax year then it’s wound down and the property moves to another

Well that’s useless it expired decades ago

Will do

The ones Trump let out of prison were willing to do violence, including killing police officers. They’re a credible threat.

The worry is that perhaps Trump is smarter than he appears, and all he’s doing is showing his followers that he’s still all about setting up a autocratic government which they’ll get to be the muscle for, ready to do a violent takeover the moment elections stop working (just like last time, but this time better armed and better organised)

As far as I can tell low carb is fully accepted in psychiatric treatment, fairly accepted in diabetics, proven in weight loss but not widely prescribed, and nearly never used by for profit weight loss organisations because it’s so easy to DIY without any special products

Researchers have also noticed that they can get a thousand zero carb eaters from Reddit with high adherence to animal sourced food only, and likewise vegans and vegetarians since we separate ourselves so well, so some good epidemiological research is possible where you can actually compare some hundreds of people who eat only meat to others who eat only plants

It would probably be fairly straightforward to compare the spectrum from vegan through vegetarian, pescatarian, SAD, keto, ketovore, carnivore and all the shades of grey I missed though we’re probably unique in our ability to say exactly what we ate every day for years

I think the biggest thing here is the hazard ratio

As you say 1.0 is literally nothing. Most say anything below 2.0 shows random chance, and real signals are well over 10.0

I can’t be arsed looking up the paper, by chance was its data pulled from FFQ? Ah, I see you mentioned the Nurses study, so that’s a yes. Not just a FFQ, but the poster child for the low quality of FFQs

Anti-pica – complete nutrition

Thanks mate! (This is me on the PC, it defaults to lemm.ee where phone defaults to aussie.zone)
