Did they intentionally chose a picture where she looks like she's morphing into Elon?

I mean, if you think that they aren't talking about ADHD and autism there, after reading the article and the study, well okay then.

The paper comes as close to saying 'direct link' as these papers ever do. It's quite difficult to prove a direct link and there are consequences for using that language inaccurately, when you're publishing in a respected journal (at least there is supposed to be)

Pop-sci articles are usually going to try to hook readers with their headlines. Not being beholden to the same standards, they are free to read between the lines, as it were. One could say that because it's not held to the same standard, it's BS but there's a lot of substance there to refute. It not an op-ed piece.

Its an important article that shouldn't be ignored (there are other sources if you don't like that author,) and if people want more details, they can get to the JAMA investigation from the link provided at the end.

What does the paragraph above the one you posted say? The paragraph under the header "Findings"

I'm sorry, was that a refutation?

This study found a link between screen time and autism by looking at TV exposure among very young children, nevermind phones and tablets.

It makes sense in a way. How we process the world might be a bit messed up with we were exposed to lots of bright shapes and loud sounds doing impossible things before our senses were fully developed.

Belief in god or astrology is not anti-scientific, it is unscientific.

Anti-scientific is evangelizing that the belief in god or astrology is a replacement for science.

Environmental factors (screen time) while a child's sensory apparatus is not fully developed has been linked to development of ADHD and Autism.

The thing that keeps us from living lives of abundance is not a lack of technology.

I'm just nice so I have a lot of friends. A lot. I'll stick up for them and they'll stick up for me. Don't mess.

That's still a ways off, you'll ruin your pants.

Burgers it is!

 

I thought Muskrat was supposed to help us shut down the Diesel plant. I'm appalled but not in the least bit surprised.

I am not ᓄᓇᕗᒻᒥᐅᖅ (someone from Nunavut) but I have worked in most of the hamlets over a few years.

I'm subscribed to this community and I saw someone mention they wanted pictures. I don't have much to contribute but pictures, so I'll post some of the good ones.

 

I promise my next post won't be about Muskrat.

Unless something else goes wrong with it before I can find something better to post about.

Okay, my next post might be about Muskrat.

 

Anyone remember another time Canada ignored a preponderance of evidence about health affects of a product they said was safe?

My family lived on the north shore of Trinity Bay since the 1600s. This 'Canada' stuff is pretty recent history, but it's painfully clear now that in 1949 when Canada said they'd manage our resources for the benefit of Newfoundlanders they didn't say which Newfoundlanders or how many.
