Why Women Shit Test by Susan Walsh (2011)

@heavenlycaprice @WataniNasim @fredsoda why does 10.1037/pspp0000524 show that loyalty, honesty, supportive, are top revealed preferences then?
English
@trrrincakes @juliette_hiyb @SkinnyTuna 2/2) the easiest way of explaining why the substack post doesn’t accomplish that would be to paste/ss specific sections in papers but i’m not able to for some reason
English
@sigmaphemoid @juliette_hiyb @SkinnyTuna oh so essentially your point is that it’s usually invalid to try and establish a causal relationship between a single biological factor and a clinical/behavioural outcome?
English
wouldnt it be crazy if ADHD was just chronic poor sleep quality and we all caught it from being on the computer too much
English
@trrrincakes @juliette_hiyb @SkinnyTuna 1/2) it depends on how isolated the factor is and on the reasoning used; better mechanistic reasoning takes into account complexity/compensation/heterogeneity, and treats mechanisms as hypothesis generation not evidence in itself
English
@trrrincakes @juliette_hiyb @SkinnyTuna the substack post follows the pattern howick describes: partial mechanisms that ignore complexity, compensation, alternative explanations, and heterogeneity
idk if you have journal access or not but i can share relevant studies
English
@sigmaphemoid @juliette_hiyb @SkinnyTuna can you explain more? sorry im uninformed and just curious about this topic.
English
@trrrincakes @juliette_hiyb @SkinnyTuna psychiatry is a particularly vulnerable culprit, and the framework hedged on neuroscience validating diagnostic constructs by discovering the neurobiological mechanisms responsible for mental disorders, but failed to do so in the vast majority of cases
English
@m1garandgirl @rim_raff @WarpigsPod @GrantSlatton i don't think it's dogshit and i don't think you need to see 3 professionals for one thing in the us lol, i was just responding to the hypothetical zero-regulation state the other guy suggested
English
@sigmaphemoid @rim_raff @WarpigsPod @GrantSlatton US healthcare being “dogshit” is extremely subjective.
English
dentistry is like the one medical-adjacent profession where outright fraud is a common issue normal consumers have to watch out for

@soundcloud @SCsupport @SoundCloudDev AI slop is ruining your platform, please make it so:
1. Artists have to declare if something is AI-generated
2. Users can filter out AI content
3. Users can filter out/hide songs and artists

@notcomplex_ important to note here that "musical ability" was operationalised as i) can you tell two rhythms apart ii) can you spot a wrong note in a melody, and iii) can you distinguish two similar pitches
so the results are not super surprising
English
@malph0 @Punished_Alien @SkinnyTuna guarantee you're basing this not on "scholarly debate" but tweets you've read
English
@Punished_Alien @SkinnyTuna Recent ADHD research/scholarly debate makes the directionality of causation fuzzier than you would think. Could be a two way street
English
@SkinnyTuna Whaaat? You mean staring into a screen that gives you more stimulation in an hour than most humans traditionally got in a year might cause issues?
English
@juliette_hiyb @SkinnyTuna great demonstration of why mechanistic evidence is not worth much
English
@SkinnyTuna The symptoms of ADHD are eerily similar to the symptoms of a negative dopamine baseline, which is caused by exactly what you said: poor sleep and too much screen time.

English
@bomebebot @SkinnyTuna no it hasn't what are you talking about? why do you make things up?
English
@SkinnyTuna It's been pretty universally agreed by many specialized in ADHD that it is a sleep disorder and directly involves delays in our circadian rhythm. Me and all my peers with ADHD have had fucked up sleep schedules pretty much since middle school.

@sigmaphemoid @rim_raff @WarpigsPod @GrantSlatton could be worse 🤷🏼♀️ you could live in an even shittier country and not have access to medical professionals at all.

@Coolzippity @cremieuxrecueil okay, so i’m right that you’re using “5k complaints” and “lobbying” as evidence for some conspiracy?
1. “legitimacy” is not the point, complaints are confounded by things like placebo, they are not and can not be a strong evidence point to begin with
2. not sufficient evidence
English
@sigmaphemoid @cremieuxrecueil No you wrote those conclusions on my behalf.
1. 5000 complaints to the DEA must contain some bias, but the DEA was specific about which aspects of the complaints were legitimate.
2. Certainly there is lobbying, that should make you more suspicious of purity, not less.

the British solution to anti-social behavior is to make teenagers feel like they’re being harassed and persecuted by the state whenever they’re in public, something that can only result in them becoming well-behaved citizens.

It's day one of a police dispersal zone aimed at cracking down on anti-social behaviour in Glasgow city centre. St Vincent Place, Glasgow Central, St Enoch Square and Union Street will all be included in the temporary zone. Officers will be able to order groups of two or more away from an area. They'll then banned from returning for 24 hours. Superintendent Jackie Dunbar told us how more police on the ground will benefit the city centre.
English
@Coolzippity @cremieuxrecueil so your conclusion is that 1. the 5,000 complaints about medication efficacy were not confounded (tolerance) and reflected a genuine manufacturing issue 2. manufacturers lobbying DEA to adjust quotas is evidence they ended up secretly selling weaker pills?

@sigmaphemoid @cremieuxrecueil federalregister.gov/documents/2026…
Received 5000 complaints.
Raised the cap by ~4 million g due to projected cap being low.
Acknowledged racemic imbalance between d & l.
Say FDA should deal with it (which they won't).
Maybe it is not an issue, I think it is worth considering though.

@SoilandStream @MasterTimBlais are you referring to narcolepsy trials? narcolepsy isn’t adhd
English
@MasterTimBlais The orexin stuff looks really promising, I'm going to try the reta hopes that it helps, sounds like it might
English
so is there a peptide for adhd yet or what
