This has been extensively debunked. Read the original methods of the BMJ article that you linked. They took every single minor error, like prescribing medicine 15 minutes late, and…

Reading the source that Nature cites, it seems like the content has been made temporarily unexaminable ‘in light of COVID’, rather than the section actually getting cut from the te…

I'm a former Rhodesian (present day Zimbabwe) who moved to South Africa after things went south in Zim. For context, I'm white, so it's not like I have a racial gripe against Musk.…

I pity the poor dev who has a Moroccan co-worker that helpfully offers to translate their application into darija thinking it’s Arabic

Two billion people can read it to some degree because of Islam. A minority of them actually use the script to write things daily. And there are plenty of people other than this guy…

In my personal experience the quality of discussion is awful on both boards. It’s genuinely worse than Reddit, which was a low bar.

I didn’t intend to make it seem that simple - I did so rather to point out the fallacies in the parent comment and point out the main reason for civil war to my knowledge. I’m well…

While that did happen in my home country of Zimbabwe, it’s not the case for the examples that he mentioned. Especially considering that even Lebanon was under a mandate and had far…

Lebanon became independent in 1945. Civil war began in 1975, largely as a result of radical Islamist Palestinians who had left Palestine and wanted an Islamic state in Lebanon. Leb…

I feel terrible for that student who lost $15k to what amounts essentially to government mandated fraud. Good grief.
