Alternatively, they were a startup with dubious research who over-promised on what their product could do (par for the course for startups) and were bought up by a big company who later realized they'd either been bamboozled or the cure that blinded them with dollar signs simply didn't work. Just because there were published articles doesn't mean they were totally legit or that their cure was very effective. Foul play or ill intentions don't even have to be involved, this medical research stuff is hard. What matters is if the research survives scrutiny over time and can be replicated and verified by others. It could simply be that more research was done internally and it was dropped when it didn't pan out like they'd hoped. Occam's razor isn't 100% clear-cut in this case as big corporations inherently behave like sociopaths, but it isn't obvious to me that "evil corporate conspiracy" is the most logical conclusion to jump to either.

More like:

1. Decide the answer you want.
2. Ask a leading question.
3. Find a comfortable echo chamber that gives you the answer you want.
4. Don't look at sources. If you do by accident, ignore their validity and nuance.
5. Shout "fake news" if you accidentally see facts that challenge your pre-decided views, especially when unedited and with all relevant context included.

Republican is not synonymous with Christian. Many Christians are not Republicans, many Christians are not crazy, and there do exist Republicans who are not any combination of crazy or Christian. However, almost all crazy Christians are Republicans. The party is infested with them.

Don't worry about it, we don't need to take care of anything in the environment. Jesus gave us the Earth to rape for profit. I mean, how can we possibly affect the planet? It's so big! Even if we do end up fucking it up, we only move up the start date for the end times, and God will bail us out with the rapture. Not only will we be super rich, but then we get to go to heaven! Bonus!

Can you count? By looking at the map and practicing the difficult techniques taught on Sesame Street, we can see that there are more blue states than red states. The site says "updated 3 hours ago" so I know we looked at the same map. Not that the number of states is a good metric anyway, for reasons which I will leave you to deduce since I have confidence you can use your brain if you try.

Comment SJWs to the rescue! (Score 1, Troll) 224

This is almost a step in the right direction, but this doesn't go nearly far enough to teach young girls that only white people can be racist. There is always something to complain about in SJW-land! Everything is always your fault, doubly so if you're white! Quadruply so if you're a white male! FEEL GUILTY, GOD-DAMN IT!

Which reminds me- how dare you all assume this Barbie is a girl! If you use the wrong pronouns on him/her/it/shmim/shmer/shmit, you might seriously damage his/hers/its/shmis/shmers/shmits incredibly fragile SJW psyche! Make sure when your daughter/schmaughter learns how to properly feel like walking on eggshells when talking to the doll to properly emulate healthy real-world interpersonal relationships. You might want to buy the official "Barbie Safe Space" where the doll can be placed to avoid hearing opposing viewpoints, and be sure to get the closest thing to a proper life partner currently available for sale for Barbie, "Fully-Emasculated Feminist Ken!"
