  • Lol…

    The study followed 20 healthy adults who took part in a 7-day residential retreat led by neuroscience educator and author Joe Dispenza, D.C.

    For this not familiar seeing “D.C.” in this context or that name…

    It’s a chiropractor that keeps rambling about “quantum” stuff without understanding any of it…

    But when I typed Dr. Joe Dispenza’s name and pressed enter, the first page didn’t show the usual Wikipedia and Google Scholar pages. Instead, I got a bunch of random self-promotional websites and YouTube videos of conferences he had held. Some of these videos are deeply disturbing: telling a woman to just think about how much she wants kids to fix her infertility; saying that we can achieve immortality — and that some human beings have achieved it — by truly “living in the present.”

    And the credentials? His website is incredibly vague: “Dr. Joe holds a Bachelor of Science degree and is a Doctor of Chiropractic. His postgraduate training includes the fields of neuroscience and neuroplasticity, quantitative electroencephalogram (QEEG) measurements, epigenetics, mind-body medicine, and brain/heart coherence.” Most scientists will agree this does not make you a neuroscientist. Also, a Bachelor of Science in what, exactly? Why withhold that information?

    I just imagine this chucklefuck being on a plane and someone yelling for a doctor…

    And he leaps to the rescue, unnecessary adjusts their left rotator cuff, and then tells him to think about puppies to stop their heart attack.

    There’s way to much pseudo science slop thrown around this sub tho, even if this one is so ridiculous it’s almost funny.






  • It’s not just fuel costs…

    Their food supplies are adulterated at “single ingredient” level.

    Like, Chinese street food used to be infamous for being adulterated, and so is any “street food” to an extent.

    But in Indian cities all the food is adulterated because all the food is adulterated before it comes to a major city.

    It’s hard to find good sources about how bad it is, because Modi doesn’t want people talking about how bad one of his government agencies is.

    But it’s not like they’re just fraudulently slapping an “organic” label where it shouldn’t be. It’s like a whole truck of grain comes in mixed with pebbles thru out. Or a milk truck that had a bunch of cheap detergent poured in to cover up how watered down it was already.

    When there’s zero government regulation, it starts looking a lot like drug dealing where every product gets “cut” at every step of distribution.

    But even if you buy it straight off the truck as soon as it pulls into a major city, someone’s already stepped on it.

    I think those shady practices are responsible for a lot of the cancer rates currently hidden by India’s pollution.





  • The trick is not settling for geriatric neoliberals who won’t stop talking about how fondly he remembers “the good old days” when Republicans and him smoked cigars, drank whiskey, and conspiracied to prolong school segregation…

    Or about how nothing could every make him stop supporting a far right ethnistate currently committing genocide…

    Like, most Americans want to hold these asshats accountable. The problem is prior DNCs were rigging primaries. The good news is the modern DNC isn’t pulling that type of shit already, and we’ve been seeing the gains for a minute



  • It was less than an hour…

    The ceasefire included Lebanon, and I’m pretty sure Israel just kept firing thru the ceasefire start, then just lied and said it didn’t include Lebanon.

    trump wants this to be “his war” but the truth is Bibi just dragged him (and us) into it. And he has no interest in peace.

    So trump has no power to “end” this war, the absolute best he can do is just leave and hope that eventually Iran decides to open the straite up.

    But he has no negotiating power, because there’s nothing he can do to stop Israel








  • Then she was paid to slap her name on it…

    Another thing that’s not new.

    Look at her GitHub account, this is the only thing it’s ever done, and she’s never, ever, talked about any sort of coding before as far as I’m aware.

    It’s still an obvious grift/scam, regardless of if she’s involved.

    Like, it’s clearly an add, what the fuck is she doing “extensive filing for months” for?

    How does any of this seem organic to you?


  • Someone copied an existing repo as a scam/grift.

    Often when they do this, they name it after a random celebrity.

    In rare cases, this generates buzz and uninformed people spread it around the internet. Usually when it’s just a screenshot of a screenshot being passed around on social media.

    I’d like to say most people are smart enough to realize all that, but it’s just doesn’t seem to be as true as it used to be.

    Edit:

    This is the crypto tech to who actually made it, and likely paid a celeb to create a GitHub account and post an Instagram ad:

    Ben Sigman is an AI agent orchestrator, systems engineer, author, and Bitcoin advocate. He builds AI-powered products and agent systems, including XAVIOR — an AI operating system running 10 custom fine-tuned models — and the open source memory system mempalace.

    He conceived and leads Libre, Bitcoin’s first decentralized two-way lending marketplace, and is the bestselling co-author of Bitcoin One Million, ranked #1 in Macroeconomics, Monetary Policy, and Bitcoin categories. He is also the co-creator of Bitcoin Alpha, the invite-only Bitcoin unconference series.

    Ben designed the giant orange shark sculpture, “Apex Predator of Money” — a bold symbol proposed as Bitcoin’s new mascot as featured in Decrypt.

    With over 20 years in technology, his work spans AI agents, Bitcoin, and open finance.

    If these grifts aren’t obvious to someone, they desperately need to pay more attention.

    It took like 2 seconds to get to the bottom of this.
