there is certainly truth to the placebo effect, so as long as you believe...

I've actually heard of research studies that isolated a placebo effect even when people were explicitly told it was a placebo and apparently believed that it was a placebo. Brains are funny.
 
Every band playing small clubs should learn The Modern Lovers' "The Mixer." It has to be the most sexually tense / relaxing song ever written for a bar music scene. It is being 20 and horny, in a song.

Nothing qualifies as a "placebo" if the subject is told that he/she just took a sugar-pill in a clinical trial.

Having said that, I certainly believe in the placebo-effect among some people, if it's actually administered correctly.

(As in, a double-blind study.)

Between Rand, MTG, this thread, etc, it would be nice if society would feel, I don't know, neutral about me and my community.

Society is more and more an ally. It's a few high profile sh-tburgers and their bacteria-level fan boyz who are the haters, and they are dying off.

The homophobes' and transphobes' grandkids will spit on their graves. One reason they are so pathetic and hate-filled is they can sense already how irrelevant they are.

Nobody remembers segregationists and anti-Semites fondly. And that's what these cretins are the equivalent of.

They are cultural roadkill. Their disease will die with them.

Good news from The House today, anyway, and I predict the bill will pass through the Senate with at least a bit of Republican support.

Today, I remember with Rand, MTG and so on:

I was not put on this Earth to listen to meat.
 
We really didn't need a repackaged Potato Head. We're here for fair and equal access to employment and housing, for equal access to sports, and so on...

Umm, OK, but if a placebo works as well as the med, the med isn't effective. And that isn't contingent on the placebo being dispensed as such. Placebos, by definition, are ineffective.

This is waaaay obvious.

Very, very wrong. Placebos are often startlingly more effective than doing nothing.

1. Google
2. Post

in that order.
 
Let's be honest though. The potato heads were always the original trans toys. Who didn't give mr ph those lips and mrs ph the stache?
