This is the 2nd time such official scientific claim of preventing autism to have been made in the last 2 /3 years or so. It’s probably distressing to those that are heavily invested in the unproven claims of ND movement of irreversible autism to see such claims undermined. It shows science is worki... |

I used to have a much bigger chip on my shoulder towards things that were popular merely for being popular. I think I've largely outgrown it. It doesn't mean I'm drawn towards things based on popularity, but I can accept things I like (like Initial D) becoming more popular and I can admit interest ... |

While Trump voters are stereotyped as cultists a lot of them are voting for him despite or because he is unlikeable. The sexism comes in when that i... |
