  • Trump announces re-election bid in rambling address to Washington media

  • From that website....

    wtf? plz, no. That idea needs to be shot down right now.

  • Lemmy gets hyper defensive when parents put controls and blocks and what a child can access. They liken it to censorship and being controlling.

  • Sen. John Fetterman says he’ll leave the Democratic Party if it ‘officially’ becomes ‘anti-Israel’

    Jump

  • this is why there needs to be a recall mechanism for congress and senators. Dude ran as a Democrat and is now saying "haha, Ima go be a republican now" and all the people who voted for him can do nothing for 6 fucking years.

  • House passes bill to make Daylight Saving Time permanent

    Jump

  • maybe in a twist of irony instead of the bill dying in the Senate, the Senate will die instead?

  • never underestimate the dems ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

  • FCC to end Biden-era rule that forces ISPs to list all their fees

    Jump

  • Who does this help? Neverminding the obvious, "haha helping the ISPs screw over the people".

    But like, the whole job of the FCC is to protect people from companies.... so.... they can't just say "we're screwing you over". They have to at least try and come up with a reason as why doing this is in the people's best interest. So, again... who is this helping? Like, how are they selling this?

  • Ex-girlfriend of Graham Platner says he removed condoms without consent during sex

    Jump

  • Platner seems to have the best chance at accomplishing that

    HAD the best chance.

    Regardless of if the allegations are true or not, Platner has no shot at this point. This will deflate any momentum he had. It is going to disillusion too many that he will not have the enthusastic support needed to beat Collins. His campaign is just too toxic at this point, people arent going to show.

    So either we huff copium, and deny that reality until he gets defeated later OR we pivot now while we still have any shot.

  • As someone else mentioned, the article OP gave is 26 years old. But some further context, its not so much "the band" as it was just one member, the bassist Mendel, who believe this. More importantly, it wasnt anything Mendel routinely pushed, just that he pitched and organized a benefit single concert that benefited a denialism group.

    Further further context is that while Mendel did promote this fringe organization, he never denied that HIV/AIDS exists. He was skeptical about how they were connected and believed that the media wasn't being honest. He did the whole "the media is trying to silence them, so the media must know something and not want it to get out" conspiracy bullshit.

    Its also worth mentioned that Mendel (or any of the FooFighters) has not pushed/talked/promoted any of this since then. Actually, that concert was scrubbed from their touring promotional since 2003... so, it hasn't been relevant for 23 years.

  • noshit its real. My post was mocking how OP was dismissing ODD using the same logic. Just as ADHD isn't the fault of bad teachers, ODD isn't the fault of bad parents.

    And it's shitty to blame parents already having to contend with a special needs child as though it's their fault for not being better parents.

  • "attention deficit disorder" sounds like something made up by teachers who are bad at teaching.

    EDIT: sorry forgot the /s, which is really needed after the original post has been removed. The original post was dismissing ODD as something made up by bad parents.

  • no, I don't. And frankly, if you do, you're grasping at straws to make a very tenuous and forced point that misdirects from the topic being discussed.

    I'm not saying that those aren't issues or that don't need to be addressed. I am saying, however, that it's not THIS issue. And trying to turn that into this, just feels like a personal bias of yours and not a real connection.

  • okay.... but that's not what the previous poster was saying. They weren't talking about under/misdiagnosing or anything about discrepancies in gender. They were dismissing the condition all together as a conspiracy to pacify and sedate kids who "ask too many questions" (have a condition). Based on their personal opinions.

  • This is a wildly dangerous dismissal.

    Your personal experience (opinion) does not put you on the same level of expertise as thousands of researchers, doctors and scientists. All far more educated on the matter and all seeing far more people and examples than just your personal experience.

    Then to explicitly say that all those thousands of professionals are all secretly ignoring data, fabricating diagnosis, collectively lying.... because of some nebulous "the powerful"... it is ignorance giving way to conspiracy. It is recklessly dangerous to say that the diagnosis isnt real and consequently that meds are bad.

    Would that be acceptable advice for any other diagnosis? "Adhd isnt real, dont take your meds", "Bipolar isnt real, dont take meds". No, it wouldn't. Anyone claiming know more than doctors and "just trust me" should be eyed with the level of skepticism you'd give RFK Jr. Same exact thought process.
