There is a correlation between mothers who take tylenol while pregnant and children who develop autism in some studies.

All people with autism, also had mothers who consumed water during their pregnancy... Did water cause autism?

But it could be just as likely that autism is both hereditary

At this point, it's almost a certainty that this is the case, possibly activated by environmental influences during pregnancy. However, none of the influences have been identified, as there's (Last I looked) about 30 separate DNA sequences that are related to autism in people.

For what it's worth... there's about the same number of DNA sequences involved in someone requiring corrective lenses.

There's a correlation, but not a causal link.

For example, lets say... A certain virus, that has a fever and headache as a symptom. If a pregnant woman contracts said virus, she likely will take acetaminophen for it.

Now, let's also say, that particular virus can cause the markers responsible for autism to activate.

So, since the virus is unknown, the only correlation we see is the acetaminophen use, while pregnant.

Did the unknown (yet) virus cause it, or did the acetaminophen use cause it?

Well, partly true. For example, this week I spent planning a weekend range trip for myself, and several comrades. There will be a stop the bleed class hosted at the beginning of it, before pew pews start.

Next weekend, planning a comrade and camping trip, where we will get to practice things like unit movement tactics (For hunting, of course!), living communally, and prepping a parcel of land for the possible need to house several dozens of people for an extended period.

Fair chance it's because the Imperial States of America is a far-right fascist nation?

Dear god, no.

HOWEVER!!!

What I'd like to see are CRT-esque LCDs with the proper lenses, and blur, to emulate a CRT display.

Anyone left of "Shooting the homeless for sport" is a radical leftist.

Fairly, land is always a good investment. Taking out predatory loans to buy land isnt.

A professor looking for a role outside their current uni is essentially, leaving already.

They've already decided to forgo tenure track, and start over, which is really the biggest hurdles.

Its only a matter of time before a uni reaches out to them, and it usually takes about a year.

To be fair, even going one time will be a pain the ass. Returning a second time will be another pain in the ass.
