Is this theory even falsifiable?

“methodological fetishism"

On a lighter note: Hey, no kink shaming, Naomi 😸

The bigger issue for me is the anti-science stance so many are pushing/following now, but whenever one study comes out reinforcing what they already wanted to believe they pounce on it. That’s not how the scientific consensus works and that “methodological fetishism” fed right into it. We still need experts’ help to understand what’s significant.

For science!

I actually like licorice ;)

There is another recent post about heating things in the microwave creates more microplastics… if it’s in the air I don’t think the microwave ovens are what kills us :p

The air we breathe also has microplastics, apparently … https://beehaw.org/post/8279644

After 30 years of putting plastic in the microwave … I think I’m fine, definitely not worrying about my sperm count ;)

Obviously, it’s good they study this, but apparently the microplastic is already in everything and we don’t really know what it’s doing to humans. Good luck, trying to convince the fossil fuel industry to produce less plastic.

Been working in IT since 1997. Imposter syndrome sucks.

That being said, contributing to FOSS can be as little as helping others in a Linux forum, validating bug reports, etc before you file your first pull request 😁

I read about this hobby project yesterday and thought it was very inspiring. This guy wrote a scraper that compares the prices of groceries and it made a big political splash too. https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@badlogic/111071396799790275

Personally, I also wanted to try some new tech, and created my first android app for my daughter to practice her basic math operations many years ago.

Another option for you would be to find a FOSS project you like and contribute there (fediverse? Hint, hint).

I mostly eat healthy, but… the munchies 🤷

That’s sad 🥲

You’d think people learned from Theranos or Madoff …

That doesn’t count, those were brown people!

Some studies need to be replicated before the results are trustworthy and others replicate bad studies - both are issues.

Looking at this graph, I agree that there is an axe to be ground:

This is why you shouldn’t believe that exciting new medical study
