The irony in this series of posts is mind-numbing.

“These people hate you for your beliefs”

“Yeah, especially Muslims”

“Yeah, we hate Muslims”

🤦🏽‍♂️
Series of posts in r/Conservative Post 1: For every peaceful, caring, kind conservative that wants this country to unite again and share our commonality, there is a leftist that wants you dead for not thinking exactly like they do. Mamdani has extreme views and is playing to an extreme base. Never lower your guard. These people want you dead for your beliefs. They have proven it. Post 2: esp. since he's a Moslem. let's face it. Post 3: Yup, it's all a front. They'll lie in any way they have to to get in power and suck off who ever is in charge to get there. That's the game they play.

Tried my wife’s Hume scale today and it is totally bonkers. It pinned me at ~9% body fat with 2.5% body fat around my stomach. While I’d love to have the metabolic age of a 33 y/o, the reality is sadly far from this. I think I’m closer to triple that body fat percentage, but 🤷🏽

Metabolic age is estimated to be 33 years, skeletal muscle mass is 56.2kg and body fat percentage is 8.9%

The sibling studies out there tend to throw out the theory a bit, that is to say that if you have a mom who is downing Tylenol at the same rate you'd expect to see the kids have the same rate of autism. Likewise you'd expect to see if she took it with one and not the other the risk wouldn't change. Anyways the data shook out yo mixed at best. The original data actually looked at concentrations in the placenta so it was decently objective. What the data DO suggest is that autism is EXTRMELY hereditary, with about 70 to 80 percent of cases being caused by simple genes being passed down and the rest by novel mutations. The only link they really have in the second category is moms who contracted viral illnesses during pregnancy which likely explains the Tyleno link. explains the Tylenol link. The hereditary link is strong enough that non autistic parents of autistic kids are found to have a higher rate of autistic traits than the general population even if they were never diagnosed- meaning that a lot of these kids are coming from what actually are autistic parents.

So there needs to be more nuance to this conversation. The statement that any study specifically is linking Tylenol to autism spectrum disorder is a full stop blatant lie. There are some studies that suggest there is a positive correlation between Tylenol usage and development of a neuro developmental disorder. This includes autism but also includes ADD and ADHD which are not autism. There are also studies in this meta analysis released by Harvard that show a negative correlation or no correlation. Which would mean there is conflicting evidence but suggestion of more positive correlation than negative and so this study is asking for more detailed research to be done. The first issue, when pulling the data specifically for autism is that some studies don't separate that data so you can throw those studies out as a claim. those studies out as a claim. Those studies were underpowered meaning they didn't had enough data to specifically show that correlation. When you add in ADHD and ADD they get their data. The devil is in the details. Also included is that when some of these studies that showed a positive correlation than used a sibling control (meaning the parents had one child with and one without the exposure of Tylenol) the correlation went away. This suggests it's not a good correlation and there's another variable accounting for it. Also important to note that correlation is never causation, these are not the type of studies medicine is changed based upon. This is an attempt to identify a risk factor to promote further studies. Using it to say that something is or isn't safe is intellectually dishonest as medicine doesn't use this type of study to inform medical practice. This data is rife with tendencies for bias and incorrect data as it is based upon recall and memory. is based upon recall and memory. "Did you take Tylenol during the last 9 months and how much." I would urge extreme caution utilizing science and studies when you aren't well versed or knowledgeable in what these studies look at and what the data means. You can understand it if you spend the time to do so. But I would argue the average person does not.

This is one of the most intelligent and thoughtful series of posts I’ve ever seen in r/Conservative. And I am the only upvote

“...nine studies suggested that use of acetaminophen...by pregnant women was linked to autism and other neurodevelopmental issues..."

www.reddit.com/r/Conservati...
It doesn't. Viruses that make fever cause birth defects, autism, and other problems. If you have a fever you take Tylenol, but the virus is the thing causing the autism. Also prior migraine diagnosis is higher risk of autism, and is treated with Tylenol too. The genetic abnormalities that prime migraines may also prime autism... Cremieux described why the Tylenol autism connection is bullshit in more detail here: https://www.cremieux.xyz/p/did-the-hhs- just-explain-autism He points out there was a roughly 2 million person study which compared siblings where one had Tylenol use when in womb and one did not. That's the best possible test as it isolates genetic factors and shared environment across a huge sample. It showed no relationship. However infections and However infections and smoking(especially during pregnancy) and early pregnancy obesity did seem related to autism (see the appendix 1), and of course you see the increasing autism diagnosis by year of birth which is mostly related to increased leniency of diagnosis. Interesting Advil might cause it slightly, but isn't recommended ever for pregnancy. Migraines predict autism risk a bit as well.. you use Tylenol to treat it. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/ fullarticle/2817406 But this study is as clear as it gets. Massive scope, very clear controls and covariants, it's exceptional research. The conclusion is Tylenol does not cause autism. This is just bullshit proposed by plaintiffs lawyers to get rich. Under the level of evidence people are attaining to say Tylenol is terrible for pregnant women, you'd expect to be able to prove that hemostatic bandages Under the level of evidence people are attaining to say Tylenol is terrible for pregnant women, you'd expect to be able to prove that hemostatic bandages cause death (because you'll see elevated death rates on people using them after gun shot wounds in a war zone). It's a great example of correlation isn't causation but with plaintiff lawyer profit motive tacked on. anyway autism is increasing due to older parental age, obesity, and most importantly, easier diagnosis. Most people diagnosed autistic today wouldn't be 30 years ago under the stricter earlier standards.

People on Facebook and r/Conservative have very short memories
AI response to the question “list all of the politically motivated attacks instigated by right wing attackers” Due to the broad scope and ongoing nature of right-wing extremism, compiling a comprehensive, definitive list of every attack is not feasible. Researchers and law enforcement agencies track and document incidents on an ongoing basis. Key points and notable examples include: General trends Persistent threat: Since at least the mid-1990s, right-wing extremism has accounted for the majority of terrorist incidents and plots in the United States. Increase since 2015: Analysts have observed a significant increase in right-wing attacks and plots since 2015. Diverse motivations: Attacks are motivated by various far-right ideologies, including white supremacy, anti-government beliefs (such as those held by militia and sovereign citizen movements), anti-immigrant sentiment, and opposition to specific social or political issues like abortion. Lone actors vs. groups: While organized extremist groups exist, the majority of right-wing extremist terrorism incidents in recent years have been carried out by individuals or small, informal groups. Law enforcement has been more successful at foiling plots involving multiple perpetrators. Notable examples of right-wing extremist violence Recent attacks (2023–2025) Shooting of Minnesota lawmakers (June 2025): A Christian nationalist and far-right conspiracy theorist murdered a state lawmaker and her husband and wounded another lawmaker in Minnesota. The perpetrator had a "hit list" of 45 officials. CDC headquarters shooting (August 2025): A gunman with anti-vaccine and COVID-19 conspiracy beliefs killed a police officer at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention headquarters in Atlanta. Mohn's Militia murder (January 2024): In Levittown, Pennsylvania, Justin Mohn allegedly shot and decapitated his father. In a video, he ranted about far-right topics and issued a call for a "bloody revolution". Allen, Texas, mall shooti…

I’m astonished at the number of US conservatives who think it’s totally normal and justified to INVADE ANOTHER COUNTRY because we don’t like how they police their own citizens

A screenshot of a Reddit thread responding to the Mexican president stating that the US is not allowed to send troops into Mexico Responses include: Genuinely. I would love to see them try and stop us Mexico has been letting the cartels expand and influence their government for far too long. It's ridiculous that we've allowed that to happen, and since they refuse to clean it up the US absolutely should. What are they going to do if we cross the border to go after the cartels? Invade US more?! Too bad. How many more U.S.
