“Brain melting” and “Without parents knowing” are the only two inherently scary things in that headline.

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.

This is right. To do it before you had to be a bit smart and motivated. That’s a smaller cross section of people. Now any nasty fuck with an app on their phone can bully and harass their classmates.

I one heard ast describe Linux’s code quality as ‘marginal’ (presumably speaking of the kernel)

Of course, it was ast talking at BSDCan but still, harsh words from a master.

And then Bibi said he disrespected the memory of 6 million Jews.

No, Bibi. You did that. You’ve been doing it for years. May God judge you. After you die in a cell.

If you aren’t the customer, you are the product. Congrats on being monetized and kinda sorta immortalized as a series of weights.

But he ABSOLUTELY supports the speech he supports!

It was enough of a dumpster fire before it got all musky. After it got the preputial gland the edgelords became MOR and there was no arguing past their mechanical circle jerk of atavism.

“Magic until it’s not” basically sums up the whole Apple user experience.

The AI one is better :trollface:

Ya know what word has lost all meaning? “Antisemetic.” Last I heard it wasn’t defined as “anything the current government of Israel disagrees with.” But the current government sure wants it to be defined that way. I wonder how those who have actually faced antisemetism feel about it.
