cbxyp··on FAA K-12 Airport Design Challenge in Minecraft
New airport designers are badly needed, seems to me 12-year olds may be better suited to the task than the construction companies contracted currently!

This will increase car accidents. Call it a guess.
cbxyp··on Traffic Congestion and Infant Health: Evidence from E-ZPass [pdf]
Being in a separate lane from the majority of traffic makes traffic deaths far less likely. 3+ HOV lanes (mother, child, father) are quite worthwhile. Driving in California I know I'd rather pay the toll than be in traffic with unpredictable vehicles.
cbxyp··on “No convincing evidence” that depression is caused by low serotonin levels
Divorce: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23931947/ Mass shootings / violence: https://www.psychreg.org/antidepressants-ssri-mass-shootings...

While they may provide benefit to some patients, the sheer volume of prescriptions and the quite clearly linked effect leads me to stand by my original statement - without a doubt, they are a leading cause of both.

cbxyp··on “No convincing evidence” that depression is caused by low serotonin levels
SSRI's are without a doubt the leading cause of divorce and mass shootings in America. The quacks in the medical profession handing them out like candy to people whom it is clearly contraindicated in, without any followup study and usually without any competent analysis of what the drugs are doing to these peoples behavior and brains. Getting my girlfriend off of SSRI's completely changed her life, as she was indicated bi-polar, and yet over 10 mental crisis hospitalizations with specialist psychiatry teams failed to notice the direct contraindication and continued recommending use of SSRIs. The kind of mental breakdowns she was having as a direct result of SSRI use is the type of behavior that in a male could lead to a mass shooting or other particularly crazy behavior. Uncontrollable flights of emotions and repeating panicked behavior.

After seeing her be "treated" by numerous psychiatrists who failed to take note or recommend cessation despite SSRI usage being clearly contraindicated on her pre-existing diagnosis, the last crisis we simply took her to another hospital, they concurred on cessation of SSRIs and all of these problems ceased. Of course, it's not possible to sue the previous doctors or hospital due to the laws that protect the industry.

cbxyp··on No increased risk of brain tumours for mobile phone users, new study finds
>since even lacking long term empirical evidence we know how they work and have a deep mechanical understanding of mRNA vaccines, and they are not going to cause issues, period.

Erm, our understanding of the mechanics of COVID vaccines has changed dramatically over the period since their introduction. Initially it was thought that they provided longterm immunity, now boosters. The manufacturer said that spike proteins would not escape the muscle. Pfizers own post marketing study shows that they spread thru out the body. In short, we do not have a deep understanding of the long term impacts, as evidenced by the unexpected drop in efficacy. It may be that so-called "leaky" vaccines such as the COVID vaccines, which do not produce neutralizing antibodies result in strains with worse potential lethality evolving, as is the what happened with Marek's disease in chickens. Initially, vaccine manufacturers and the CDC alike claimed that vaccines were producing neutralizing antibodies. Now 4 out of every 5 hospitalized cases of Covid in Canada have received their 1st, 2nd and third shots.

In short, I hope you were kidding saying that.

cbxyp··on Telegram is anything but secure; even Facebook is safer, says Signal founder
Full remote code execution in signal desktop via an node context enabled and an XSS in a react application, rendering user messages with __dangerouslySetInnerHTML. A similar XSS in the webview on mobile signal allowed at the very least, compromising all of the contacts and messages of the user.

I wouldn't take anything that Signal developers/founders say about their product or others' products security seriously.
