That's nearly what I was thinking.

Another paper we can add to the pile of dodgy priming research, which according to this site is a trainwreck: https://replicationindex.com/2017/02/02/reconstruction-of-a-train-wreck-how-priming-research-went-of-the-rails/

From the article: I was disappointed when I found out that the cyst in my pituitary gland wasn't a brain tumour or causing any problems and wouldn't have to be removed by opening up my face with an X% chance of success. I think I was rather looking forward to it. Anything to stop the first few...

I thought the renaissance was when we transitioned from the middle ages into a scientific revolution which included the development of the scientific method and a focus on empirical evidence. Can they use another word? Or if they must borrow the word "renaissance" for their title, how about...

There seems to be a giant schoolboy-style competition amongst rather a lot of people, where they all sit in a row on both sides of a fence until the first one gets a splinter up their a***. I'm sure it's all a great joke and they're having a lot of laughs, but isn't it time the bell rang for the...

I'm the kind who rarely catches anything, but then I always was before I had ME. On the rare occasions when I do get something, it usually floors me. My reaction to two jabs of biontech pfizer was uneventful, apart from the side of my face going numb after the second jab, detailed in my post above.

As a member of the patriarchy I'm trying to work out whether I'm going to end up at the top of the pile or the bottom of the pile once all these people have finished waffling.

Second episode is about Munchausen's Syndrome by Proxy, and equally good. I have a feeling I'm going to enjoy this series. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000s2kt/episodes/player

I heartily recommend this: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m000s7n1 A 30-minute investigation of the Stockholm Syndrome. I don't want to spoil it, so I'll just say I was extremely satisfied with the conclusion. There are many parallels to our situation, and anyone with ME will find...

I had a look at the Würzburg clinic website. There's a lot about cancer patients and the fatigue they have, and also a lot about palliative care. In the absence of further information and speculating optimistically, hopefully they are referring to palliative care.

I remain to be convinced that finding and handing over a large amount of money to a PR company for a media campaign is the most effective solution to our woes. And as for judicial review, the current uk government are doing their best to rush through reforms which would limit its scope...

The Spectator never even had my trust. A publication which boasts Rod Liddle as associate editor and columnist isn't something I'd wipe my dog's arse with.

Reading this is a sub-optimal use of my time.

I'm permanently bad-tempered, so this warning signal is bugger all use to me.

Nope, that's the one.

Why does empathy have anything to do with it? PG is factually wrong and causing harm without regard to the consequences to others of his one-man ego trip. He needs calling to account and the false information he is spreading needs correcting before it causes further harm. Forum members might as...

That's an excellent point. Amidst all these claims of catastrophic thinking, there's never a comparison with a control group of catastrophizers who didn't manage to bring about or exacerbate their own illness. As far as I'm aware, most people spend a significant amount of time worrying about...

Splendid.

What could go wrong?

That's what I read, don't know if it's been mentioned earlier on this thread. Causes are thought to be being a hysterical woman, the jabber jabbing too deep and annoying a nerve, or unknown. No other side effects so far, but I'm taking the day off just in case.
