I know, that was my point.

you’re conflating mortality metrics with incidence metrics. increasing incidents are very likely biased by improved detection and reporting.

anyway the point is not that cancer is going away or anything, but that you can’t easily say “pollution is giving young people cancer” as the top comment is.

trump may be done after this but I don’t think MAGA is going anywhere.

in the 90s my dentist had a sega genesis to play between cleanings and inspection. the only thing i ever played was echo the dolphin.

the father son and holy ghost

to get to the other side.

Old people come into contact with all that stuff too, not just young people.

Cancer deaths are consistently declining in the US. American Cancer Society’s 2023 report

Despite the pandemic, and in contrast with other leading causes of death, the cancer death rate continued to decline from 2019 to 2020 (by 1.5%), contributing to a 33% overall reduction since 1991 and an estimated 3.8 million deaths averted.

if that were the case, you’d expect more cancer in older people as well, not just young people.

thankfully someone actually read the article (which is pretty bad in terms of accurately representing its citations). One of the other articles cited in OP says:

Research published in BMJ Oncology found there had been 3.26 million cases in 2019 - 79% more than in 1990. But experts cautioned against reading too much into the findings. The research did not take into account a 40% rise in the total population, while factors such as better reporting may also have played a role. The team, of experts from around the world, including the US, China and the UK, agreed no firm conclusions could be drawn.

Deaths (as opposed to “incidents”) is a more accurate metric to track since it’s more reliable in terms of detection (obviously) and reporting:

Cancer killed more than a million under-50s in 2019, a rise of over 25% - but with the 40% population rise, this could actually indicate a falling death rate.

The trumpets in my family, aunt and uncle, are different. they pretend to be affable and loving, act like they want to see us, but every time we get together they CAN NOT HELP themselves from talking shit about liberals or whatever the latest fox propaganda is. And they know my parents, my wife and I are left to varying degrees. So I finally said fuck it, clearly you do not respect me, so I don’t need your bullshit in my life anymore.

netanyahu != aipac

“He meddled several times during the Clinton administration…

…supported fundraisers in Israel for then-GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential election

…in 2020 he was all-out for Trump.”

all that meddling and he has fuck all to show for it lol. hopefully that is a good omen for 2024.

but surely the long term plan is to kill off NCP.

I’m guessing this will roll in the features of Nvidia control panel as well. so now we will basically be forced to install their tracking shit for basic feature support.

Tencent buying into 40% of the company didn’t get you financially secure?

do you want all the decent cops to quit?
