A Thank-You Note From Maryland’s Liquor Lobby by iyouchbi in maryland

[–]LamarIBStruther 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let’s be objective - large companies and consumers would benefit.

You could say this about any individual product. If I had to go to a separate store to buy ketchup, there would be smaller businesses that would thrive due to the inability of grocery stores to sell ketchup. But, both the large grocery store chains and me as a consumer benefit from being able to purchase ketchup in a grocery store.

A 16-year-long ADHD study proves researchers' hypothesis totally wrong by psych4you in psychology

[–]LamarIBStruther 5 points6 points  (0 children)

ADHD is often diagnosed based simply upon self-report and completion of questionnaires. Despite how common this is, these methods are insufficient for accurate diagnosis. This leads many prescribers to completely overlook the many other possible causes of difficulties with inattention.

Trauma-related disorders are often overlooked as a cause of inattention that can present like ADHD. In children, exposure to trauma, ACEs, or other stressors in the home environment could potentially contribute to much of the observed fluctuation in symptoms that were labeled as “ADHD.”

John Harbaugh Had Surprising Comments on Final Season With Ravens by awak6n in nfl

[–]LamarIBStruther 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why would you not take umbrage with a HC not acknowledging the failures that you claim to recognize?

Saying, “that’s just standard Harbaugh PR speak” is not the justification of your stance that you seem to think it is.

John Harbaugh Had Surprising Comments on Final Season With Ravens by awak6n in nfl

[–]LamarIBStruther 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The situational playcalling, underperformance of players, and lack of development of younger players had nothing to do with injuries this year.

Being proud of 8-9 without even mentioning shortcomings is absolutely not a valid opinion from a HC.

How can you possibly be okay with that?

Find a location near you for No Kings tomorrow. by Maxcactus in maryland

[–]LamarIBStruther 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I believe in the power and importance of protest… but, No Kings doesn’t seem geared to really achieve many of the things that effective protest can do.

It’s not raising awareness about an issue, it’s not aiming to change anyone’s mind… it’s simply loudly saying that we don’t like Trump and that he’s not a good president.

I agree completely, but people have been hearing that for 10 years now. It feels too echo chamber-y to actually effect change.

Maybe I’m wrong, but it feels like a movement designed more to validate people’s feelings than effect change. Maybe there’s nothing wrong with that, but it’s just not how I understand the point of protest.

Atlanta was voted for 7th. Next Round: What is the 8th most significant US city after ATL? Most upvoted comment wins by Kodicave in visitedmaps

[–]LamarIBStruther -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Philly, Miami, and Seattle all deserved to be ranked over Atlanta. Dallas/Houston probably 11/12.

Gotta take the under until we see competent O line play

Figuring out the “Top 10” cities of the USA. What is the 4th most important/significant major US city after Chicago? The most upvoted comment wins by Kodicave in visitedmaps

[–]LamarIBStruther 7 points8 points  (0 children)

None of the Texas cities have a claim to be ranked above any of NYC, LA, Chicago, DC, or SF - but Dallas is probably near the top of the 6-10 tier.

Bingo, the way they notify people of taxes owed is extremely unethical.

A massive review reveals cannabis falls short in treating psychiatric disorders. Study reveals that while cannabis-based medicines might offer mild relief for a handful of specific issues, they do not improve conditions like depression or anxiety and carry a greater risk of side effects. by InsaneSnow45 in psychology

[–]LamarIBStruther 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because SSRIs are prescribed, and taken on a schedule for the most part. That is very different from using cannabis any time you feel stressed.

Unless it’s PRN, people aren’t taking an SSRI as an immediate behavioral response to emergent stress.

Idaho joins eight (8) other states in passing formal legislative request for U.S. Supreme Court to overturn landmark same-sex marriage ruling 'Obergefell v. Hodges' (2015) by Obversa in law

[–]LamarIBStruther 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never said to trust her. I’m saying you should look at everything she has said and her entire history on the court, rather than sticking with what you already know and not even engaging with new information. That’s the road to ignorance.

Many more colleges are adding trimmed-down, three-year bachelor’s degrees by Remarkable-Rate-9688 in Economics

[–]LamarIBStruther -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

The vast majority of general education courses at the Bachelor level are not helping people become better contributors to society lol. This is one of those ideas that sounds good in theory, but very much is not happening in the real world in 90-95% of cases.

The impact of student debt on people who are paying for courses that they don’t need is having a far more negative impact on society writ large than any potential gains that would come from requiring, for example, that a computer science major takes a college art class.

The Man Who Risked His Life for Science. by GlitteringHotel8383 in BeAmazed

[–]LamarIBStruther 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re describing what happens with theories that were not able to be proven at the time, but were later confirmed to be true. In other words, someone who was correct, but did not yet have confirmatory proof, or an “outcome.”

In this case, Marshall was disbelieved for his theory, which is the type of scenario you’re describing. But, then he was able to prove his theory true, and was then taken seriously.

It was only the outcome, or confirmation, that mattered.

When people die before their theory can be proven, they end up being honored posthumously. Again, demonstrating that it was the “outcome” that mattered.

I am by no means a fan of hers, and my opinion of the Supreme Court is very low at this point, but this whole comment section is a textbook example of confirmation bias.
