A headline on c/Science is lying to me and is full of shoddy errors in the study? Here’s my shocked Pikachu face.

Yeah, an overly heightened immune system is how you get allergies and auto-immune diseases.

Is this too good to be true?

This forum in a nutshell.

There has been many, many, many decades of attempts, since the 1920s, at deeply flawed studies to prove some weak link between marijuana use and some bad outcome. Of course, it’s quickly found out that it was using rats, or some other small animal using fucked-up dosage:mass ratios, or the sample size was 20, or it was funded by some DARE group, or funded by the nicotine industry, or the alcohol industry, or they didn’t prove causation, or they forgot to factor mental health, or social class, or racial factors, or a thousand other obvious problems.

I’m not going to go around and say cannibus doesn’t have its problems. But, given the track record of obviously flawed studies that land on this forum, and even more so with cannibus research, I’ll default to a position of extreme skeptism until proven otherwise.

Classic case of using cannabis as a scapegoat in a random study to “prove” how harmful it is. Tale as old as time.

As is tradition, unfortunately.

It’s post-Kojima Konami. They’ll find a way to screw any leftover IP up.

Both Zone games had awesome soundtracks.

Homeopathy is 100% a scam. LLMs are just overhyped. Big difference.

This is not AI anymore than chatbots from the 90’s were.

Pretending that we’ve not improved anything at all in the last 30 years and pretending that LLMs are just like old shitty tech from the 90s is the equivalent of burying your head in the sand.

On Mars, you have no help. Nothing for at least a year. It’s hard to even send a message. Going to the moon ain’t shit compared to Mars. If you need supplies or repairs or people or even communication, the vastness of space is far far more apparent.

On Earth within an underwater base, if you need help from the surface, they are already up there. Almost instant speeds to get a message, and a few hours to a day to get at least something down to the base. Worse-case, you can gear up and swim up to the attached platform, and strategize there.

Without the experience of building and sustaining an underwater base, we die on Mars, if we can even get there in the first place.

All the more reason why we need to conquer the oceans with underwater bases waaaaaay before we try to conquer Mars. If we can’t build an underwater base, we are completely and utterly hopeless towards the goal of living on any sort of space-bound entity.

Also, 1988 was a year that existed.

I saw this phrase and knew immediately it was pulled from Disco Elysium.

Purposely misrepresenting the SKG movement for their gain? Gee, where have I heard that before?

That’s a cute set of downvotes you got there.

Because one can’t happen without the other.

I don’t understand drunk hangovers.

Drink water. Then you don’t have hangovers. That’s it.

I only know the guy from the thumbnails and dead eyes. But this really feels like reaching for a justification to hate.

“I’m not educated on what the man has done, but I’m going to spout my uninformed opinion, anyway.”

all I’m saying is that without any context, these kind of statements are kinda cheap and meaningless.

Funny how the Internet is a tool to be able to look up the context in only a few minutes.

Barely. Give him another ten years to reach Musk or Zuckbot’s level.
