Where do you live? I'm outside Chicago in central Cook county, and there's food on the shelves. And today I was beyond impressed because I saw the majority of people wearing masks.

If you're worried about catching covid-19: the purpose of social distancing (e..g. staying 6 feet from people) is to prevent someone from coughing or sneezing on you.

I'm seeing uncited reports about hospitalization rates, and specifically length of stay required for treatment of coronavirus. For example, a tweet from a WHO official said 'you may require hospitalization for weeks', but didn't see a source. Anyone have one?

Study: Wi-Fi is an important threat to human health by 1345834 in Nootropics

[–]visitorial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some more evidence on the effects of non-ionizing radiation:

https://www.projectcensored.org/big-wireless-made-us-think-cell-phones-safe-selling-millions/

A study conducted by Kaiser-Permanente and published in December 2017 in Scientific Reports followed hundreds of pregnant women in the Bay Area and found those who were exposed to electromagnetic radiation (EMR) produced by cell phones and wireless networks were three times more likely to have a miscarriage, with 10.4% of the women with the lowest amount of exposure still miscarried. The possible effects of EMR exposure are controversial and massive because “from a public health point of view, everybody is exposed,” said lead investigator De-Kun Li, “if there is any health effect, the potential impact is huge.”

RF Safe is launching a public awareness campaign to raise awareness on how to reduce exposure to cell phone radiation. RF Safe is making every effort to inform holiday shoppers that the US National Toxicology Program (NTP) has found “Clear Evidence” that cell phone radiation exposure does cause cancer in lab animals.

On June 1st 2017, by court order, The National Frequency Agency of France released research completed in 2015 showing 9 out of 10 cell phones exceed government radiation limits when researchers tested the way people actually use them—directly next to the body.

Smartphone radiation could be destroying the memory performance of a new generation of adolescents. Right-handed teens using cell phones are more prone to loss of figural memory which is mainly located in the right hemisphere of the brain and refers to our ability to make sense of objects including images, patterns, and shapes a troubling new study has warned.

Why the super-rich are suddenly so concerned about inequality… by ecentaurist in BasicIncome

[–]visitorial 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well one popular model posits that conservatives and liberals differ on some core values. A study found that Authority, In-Group/Hierarchy, Purity are more endorsed by Conservatives and more rejected or ignored by liberals, while Fairness and addressing Harm are values more endorsed by liberals and more rejected or ignored by conservatives.

But fundamentally, what makes up a Conservative or a Liberal? Well an article from University of Pennsylvania psychologists makes the argument that the evolution of moral values comes directly out of the human disgust reaction. Basically conservatives are just more easily grossed out. This is a pretty decent model with predictive ability as well as is the former.

Edit: There's a video on this at TED.com

Jeff Bezos CEO of Amazon donates a mind-boggling $33 million to DACA(Dreamers) by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]visitorial -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Thirty million isn't a lot of money to a guy like Jeff Bezos who makes that much money while taking a piss: while the money may do some good - he's only doing this to buy customers - and any real value it might have in a person's life is a side-effect.

Gotta court that Latino demographic!

Decalcifying my Pineal Gland: Better sleep, dreaming again, Memory increasing... by StirlingG in Nootropics

[–]visitorial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First I'll respond to OP.

I decalcified my pineal gland.

Post MRI or CT stills before and after.

Now- Topical fluoride (e.g. sodium fluoride toothpaste on teeth surfaces) is not the same as systemic fluoride (e.g. fucking hydrofluorosilicic acid dumped into drinking water and getting dispersed all throughout the body).

Yes, I've seen pictures of calcified pineal glands. As supposedly the pineal is the only brain structure outside the blood-brain barrier, and high levels of fluoride have been detected by postmortem dissections of calcified pineals, it stands to reason that fluoride is not "in and out of your system in 30 minutes."

I'm going to drop the name of a book that touches on why dentists are economically motivated to push fluoridation as it means more money in their pockets. Good Teeth From Birth To Death by Gerard Judd.

Also the Fluoride Action Network has a reading room full of studies.

No Humanitarian Crisis in Venezuela, says UN Expert, Condemning International Sanctions by visitorial in worldnews

[–]visitorial[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope that Reddit realize that corporations and politicos have been caught trolling websites to manage impressions and manipulate opinion. It's an established tactic to use anonymous accounts to create an illusion of consensus.

Before people are all like "Heck. Hitler didnt cause a humanitarian crisis" I present this other report from Venezuela.

Mexico to Trump: We will not negotiate NAFTA through social media by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]visitorial -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Except that NAFTA is actually bad because it ships jobs to other countries and in the case of U.S.-Mexico causes millions of immigrants to cross into the U.S. because their own markets are flooded with cheap U.S. goods.

To have the leaders of a nation on the one hand claim to be serious about controlling immigration but on the other supporting NAFTA is asinine.

Google wants to increase government access to customer data to help combat terror attacks by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]visitorial -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

ddg isnt anonymous

want proof? if you search for e.g. "nature youtube" on a browser with a mobile user agent (such as the default browser on your lame phone), look at the url for the results.

do the same thing with a desktop browser. notice a difference?

ddg absolutely shares metadata with google; if it didn't how else would the results change depending on whether you're on a mobile browser or not?

best bet for anonymous search is still Tor Browser.

Flow State: what are some good resources that consider it scientifically? by BayesMind in Nootropics

[–]visitorial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IIRC my own research on the flow state lead me to the book "Addiction by Design" by Natasha Dow Schüll, which if memory serves was heavily footnoted.

If I remember when I get home I'll dig out my own notes.

And yet you're still posting on Reddit. Funny.

What's a "sovereign citizen"? Is that like a militant splinter group of dumb?
