Null User Objectto Technology•Scientists invented a fake disease. AI told people it was realEnglish95·2 days agoBecause she works in the medical field, she decided to create a condition related to health and hit on the name bixonimania because it “sounded ridiculous”, she says. “I wanted to be really clear to any physician or any medical staff that this is a made-up condition, because no eye condition would be called mania — that’s a psychiatric term.”

Izgubljenovic works at a non-existent university called Asteria Horizon University in the equally fake Nova City, California.

Both papers say they were funded by “the Professor Sideshow Bob Foundation for its work in advanced trickery. This works is a part of a larger funding initiative from the University of Fellowship of the Ring and the Galactic Triad”.
Even if readers didn’t make it all the way to the ends of the papers, they would have encountered red flags early on, such as statements that “this entire paper is made up” and “Fifty made-up individuals aged between 20 and 50 years were recruited for the exposure group”.

Null User Objectto Leopards Ate My Face•Epstein survivor who voted for Trump says she now fears ‘we’re not going to get justice’English51·14 days agoThat’s not how what works? Are you implying that, as President, Biden was incapable of releasing the files himself?
Null User Objectto Leopards Ate My Face•Epstein survivor who voted for Trump says she now fears ‘we’re not going to get justice’English441·14 days agoBiden should have just fucking released them.
That’s a fair point, but I would argue that that’s far enough in the future for them to convince themselves it’s not real. Dear little Chet getting shot in the face by Muslims next week is probably harder to ignore.
But did you vote against it, or did you just figure other people could vote for your best interests while sat on the couch?
I wasn’t really offering it as a solution to the current problem. I’m just saying that I don’t believe the current problem would exist if, for the past 10 years or more, rich kids were candidate fodder for the meat grinder.
Null User Objectto News•Army raises enlistment age to 42, eases marijuana restrictions138·16 days agoI’m all for the draft on one very strict condition; it has to be truly random with no way for rich kids to get mommy and daddy to buy them out of it or into a cushy assignment.

The world would be a sad place if people were capable of doing good things for each other without the trappings of superstition? That’s a new one to me.
Not to mention that a quality poll would just be among qualified likely voters in the election in question, where as polymarket is just gambling addicts anywhere on the planet.
